Mormon Porkies and Other Lies - A Brit's 40 Year Experiment
This book includes part of the personal life of Tony Teague and his observations as a leader within The Mainstream Mormon Church in the UK. A former Police Officer and later therapist operating in the fields of Transactional Analysis and Hypnotherapy, Tony relates how 'believed lies' that are portrayed as truth by Western Society, can detrimentally affect the individual and their families. Tony demonstrates a remedy for the resulting disease and a way back. In the season that high ranking former Mormon Leaders publicly query the honesty of their Church's origins in ways ranging from public statements in the New York Times to obtaining a London Magistrates Court Summons for fraud against the Main Mormon Church's leader, Tony provides explanation of the various frauds and resources to study them. Relentlessly the text includes Western lies that run alongside the Mormon theme. Tony's second book of case studies, of those that were healed, is in the making.

When I first started dating my British man, I never gave a second thought about differences in language and culture. Why would I? After all, we Americans speak English, or do we...? As dating quickly turned into being engaged to and then getting married to my British gentleman, I also found that our common language and culture was a quirky, eye-opening, and highly amusing roller-coaster ride. At times during the most basic every-day conversations, I'd be listening to his words with glazed eyes, wondering what on earth he was saying. It really was as if we were both speaking a completely different language, even though the words that comprised the language were the same. I very quickly learned so much more about the language I was supposed to have been taught at school, the commonalities, the differences, and the good old-fashioned belly-laughs about it all that still punctuate our married life to this day. Since the Anglo-American royal marriage, these quirky anecdotes and fun-filled trivia topics have become more popular than ever. More importantly, I decided to write this book for, and dedicate it to all transatlantic couples who will regularly find themselves completely divided and confused by their common language and culture.
Trying To Understand Brazilian Culture: Memoir of a Brit in São Paulo
It's a truth acknowledged by pretty much every seventeen-year-old guy with an Internet connection: Brazil is one of the sexiest countries on the planet. When looking at pictures of the country online you can expect to see samba dancing goddesses, ridiculously tropical beaches and, of course, the infamous Carnival celebrations. But if you've ever wondered what life is like beyond these images, this is the book for you. Penned by award-winning British blogger Andrew Creelman, this memoir will give you an intimate insight into the reality of Brazilian culture. After arriving in the country on a bit of a whim, Andrew has spent the last four years in S o Paulo attempting to understand Brazilians and their culture. Within the book, some incredibly highbrow questions are explored. Does Brazil really resemble one giant, dangerous game of Grand Theft Auto? What's it like to live in a football-mad country? Are ALL Brazilian women beautiful? What is it like to teach over here? And perhaps the most important question of all is addressed within these pages: why, oh why, do Brazilians wear so little on the beach ? Contents of the book include: Chapter One - How I Ended Up In BrazilChapter Two - Settling InChapter Three - Teaching BraziliansChapter Four - Going Out In S o PauloChapter Five - MusicChapter Six - Five Things About Brazilians I Didn't Expect To Discover In My First Six Months Chapter Seven - Brazilian WomenChapter Eight - CrimeChapter Nine - FootballChapter Ten - Brazilian Beach CultureChapter Eleven - Being British In BrazilChapter Twelve - ConclusionAbout The AuthorReviews: Mark HilaryThis is a short, easy to read introduction to life in Brazil. Andrew has not written this as a tourist guide, it's more like a memoir of how he settled into living life in Brazil - what worked, what was unusual, and what could be a complete disaster. He has a friendly style that keeps you turning the pages. If you are a foreigner living in Brazil then it's worth reading just to see what you identify with too, if you are thinking of taking the plunge and moving to Brazil then take a look too. It's not a detailed how-to guide - he is not telling you how to get a visa or pay your taxes, this is entirely personal observations on the cultural difficulties a Brit can have when settling into Brazil and being in that position myself I can identify with much of his book Chris WrightOne of the best ways to get a feel for a country is to look through the eyes of someone who's gone through the hard cultural landing of just arriving and is now living out all the cool reasons for coming. And Brazil has many. Brazil seduces and has a vibe that most countries would love to rent for the weekend. Andy helps you see it, experience it, laugh at it all and feel it. As a fellow Brit i appreciate his sharpness and humour to pin point the unusual and the fascinating. Better than a tour guide Andy is your Sao Paulo contact - your man who knows what makes Rio's big ugly sister show her bad cool side. Well recommended
