This book is the result of a challenge which involved individuals taking a 10 note from our Treasurer. It's not normal for a Treasurer to dole out money, but she took the risk and added a stern instruction that those who took the challenge had to make the money grow. The idea, of course, derives from the parable of the talents in the New Testament. My response to the challenge was to ask the congregation of St. Piran's Church, Perranarworthal, Cornwall to contribute written pieces with the intention of compiling and publishing a book. It was my hope that the book could then be purchased, thereby increasing the original sum for the benefit of the church. You are holding the result in your hands. It contains prose, poetry, personal stories, both true and imaginary, non-fiction and a wealth of social history and information that will, no doubt, be a lasting legacy for those involved and their families and friends.

The central theme of the stories is the importance of time. It's nature's gift to all of us and we are all subject to its passing from the moment we draw our first breath, and yet we have no control over the speed of its passing. We can, however, learn to use it to our own advantage.It's what successful people do and others don't. Do you use time wisely? Can you make time stand still? Do you have the gift?
