Graham Hill

This book was written in the beginning of 1960 to make sure that no facts were forgotten or exaggerated by the time factor. Only the rough edges of the writing have been polished a little, the basic facts and incidents are exactly as they happened. It is guaranteed to all be true. Read, and try to stop laughing At the tender age of 18 in mid December 1957 Graham left the cosy world of apprentice compositor in the printing trade and compulsorily joined the many thousands also serving 2 year's National Service. He used those 2 years to learn a lot, some things about the army, but mainly about life from the many and varied people he met along the way. Leading a charmed life, he managed to enjoy himself in the army, at the army's expense, and keep out of trouble. His demob papers, written 6 weeks before he was demobbed, state "He is a disciplined soldier who works hard....." If only they knew On demob in December 1959 he went on to finish his apprenticeship and then went round the printing trade in London for experience. He soon realised he wanted to work for himself in a small team and that is why he became a newsagent and retired at 52 years of age. In retirement he took a course in blacksmithing as a hobby and also joined a writers' group. His hobbies also include motor-homing and cycling with his Brompton. He now at 83 takes life (just) a little easier and is proud of Carole his wife of 58 years and 2 grown up children and 3 grandchildren. However, he still does not understand the rules of life.

Why write a book about the stars? Of what use is their study? This book covers this ground with a number of anecdotes arising from the author’s almost 60 years’ experience as a research scientist who has worked with some of the largest telescopes in the world. The text exposes much of what is glossed over in the canned information that the public get and holds nothing back with respect to uncertainties within the subject. People want answers, want somehow to be reassured that someone out there has a handle on things. This book details the basis for our knowledge of the universe, warts and all, and offers important insights as to where the science is going.

Christianity seems to be in decline in the West. But many churches in Asia, Africa, Latin America and other parts of the Majority World are growing rapidly. Western Christianity can no longer claim to be the center of the global church. Before long, two-thirds of Christians will live in Asia, Africa and Latin America. What does this mean for global Christian mission? What does it mean for worship, theology, faith and evangelism in the West? In GlobalChurch, Graham Hill engages with more than one hundred high-profile Majority World Christian leaders to find out what they can teach the West about mission, leadership, hospitality, creation care, education, worship and more. He challenges the Western church to move away from a Eurocentric and Americentric view of church and mission, and he calls the church to construct global missional conversations. The future of the global church—including the churches of the West—exists in these global exchanges. This resource engages with the work and thought of Majority World theologians and missiologists including Simon ChanRuth Padilla DeBorstSamuel EscobarAjith FernandoMakoto FujimuraGustavo GutiérrezEmmanuel KatongoleNelson MandelaVishal MangalwadiC. René PadillaLamin SannehSadhu Sundar SinghVinoth RamachandraAmos Yong GlobalChurch is an indispensible guide for the church as it navigates the unique global experiences of the twenty-first century.
