I (Alan Agarrat - the author) am a retired civil engineer and like the carpenter's son - Jesus Christ of approximately 2000 years ago, I take a subtle swipe at "men's establishments". Christ did not have a "Human qualification" in theology, neither have I. My thoughts are likely to be from GOD. The ills of this present world are all due to detrimental thoughts and the question should be: "how or if mankind will correct this?". Some reasons for this lack of correction are implied within. This publication is intended to give "food for thought" and my interpretations of some Bible passages. I trust it gives many people a refreshing way of thinking, ie having fresh "Thoughts". Alan Agarrat - [email protected] The Bible matters to GOD and hopefully so does this booklet. "A booklet is not to be valued by its price or dimensions..."

'There are prizes, normally named after PG Wodehouse, given to literary comic novels and non-fiction, and these books will have blurbs saying "hilarious" on them.

TWICE.Using an innovative 'dual narrative' structure you sometimes see in films, Big Beacon tells the story of how Partridge heroically rebuilt his TV career, rising like a phoenix from the desolate wasteland of local radio to climb to the summit of Mount Primetime and regain the nationwide prominence his talent merits. But then something quite unexpected and moving, because Big Beacon also tells the story of a selfless man, driven to restore an old lighthouse to its former glory, motivated by nothing more than respect for a quietly heroic old building that many take for granted, which some people think is a metaphor for Alan himself even though it's not really for them to say.* Leaving his old life behind and relocating to a small coastal village in Kent, Alan battles through adversity, wins the hearts and minds of a suspicious community, and ultimately shows himself to be a quite wonderful man. * The two strands will run in tandem, their narrative arcs mirroring each other to make the parallels between the two stories abundantly clear to the less able reader.
