Paul Weston

From the bombed-out streets of 1940s London to the dizzying heights of Superman's world, this first part of Paul's career is nothing short of extraordinary and reads like the most thrilling adventure film never made. Beginning as a photographic model and understudy to Sir Roger Moore in The Saint, he absorbed the technical and artistic skills that would make him one of the most respected stunt performers, coordinators, and 2nd unit directors in the film and TV world. His early work on The Avengers, The Prisoner, and the Beatles film, Help led naturally into stunt work in the 1960s. His breakthrough came with The Dirty Dozen and A Bridge Too Far, launching a career spanning six decades. From Pinewood to Hollywood, Paul's helped shape cinema's most defining action sequences, across the industry's most coveted franchises - Bond, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and blockbusters including Superman II/III, Aliens and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. This is the beginning of the story behind the man and the stunt scenes that defined a generation of filmmaking. The adventure continues in books two and three.

Lesslie Newbigin's development of a fresh paradigm of missionary theology and cultural engagement has solidified his reputation as not just one of the most important missionary theologians of the twentieth century, but as continually relevant in the twenty-first. Paul Weston focusses on how the engagement with Michael Polanyi's understanding of 'personal knowledge' illuminates Newbigin's work, and contributes to its ongoing significance. Interlinking themes of 'Revelation', 'Knowing' and 'Story' and tracing through Newbigin's engagements with modernity and post-modernity, Weston suggests how the 'logic' of Newbigin's approach continues to provide insight to mission theologians and practitioners. It is Weston's conviction that Humble Confidence presents Newbigin's thinking in a way that can serve the continuing mission of the church.

This book is dedicated for the "old fella" forever on a hill. Running in the rain may not be the most pleasant activity to start your day, but if you want a distraction from the soaking wet feet, clingy clothes and soggy hat on your head, then plan a route that means you have to run up a hill. Because if it is steep enough, then being wet will pale into insignificance, and the rain will be the least of your worries. As with running in the rain, if you do run up a few hills, the feeling of accomplishment will make you feel a lot better about life than just jogging along a flat road in the dry. We're going to explore some of the areas that, during my life, have annoyed me. Irritated me. Raised my blood pressure. And almost made me stop doing stuff I wanted to do. But I also think you will share my feelings. You may well nod your head and think "yep, I know where he's coming from." So, what hills are we up against?Well, I'll start by introducing you to the concept of faffing.We'll look at the agony of an airline losing your bag.We'll discuss the frustration of packaging and how it once nearly got me arrested.We'll open the topic of jobsworths and how they impact our lives.We'll consider the pain that comes with being passionate about sport.We'll dig into the sad world of the sporting cheat.And we'll tackle two of the most challenging hills I have come across in my life: my mother's fight with Alzheimer's disease and my own journey of living with Tourette Syndrome.I hope this all offers you a chance to consider the hills in your life.I hope what I will share will offer you an opportunity for personal reflection.And I hope you find the upward journey on which we are about to embark to be relevant, enlightening... and just maybe a bit of fun.

At a time of declining church attendance, this book challenges us to understand that evangelism is more important than ever. The problem is that churches and their leaders often struggle with the idea and concepts around evangelism, unsure of what might be theologically or culturally appropriate ways to communicate the message. This book aims to supply principles and strategies for evangelism that are theologically rooted, practical and relevant to the 21st century. It shows how Jesus and the early church did evangelism and what we can learn from them for our situations. There is lots of practical help from two experienced practitioners to develop an evangelistic strategy for your church. It will also encourage leaders at every level of the church to be leaders and enablers in evangelism. The approach is theologically rigorous and powerfully practical, with the focus on redefining a genuine biblical evangelism. It will help you put foundations in place for developing a sustainable strategy in your church so that you can connect not just with those on the fringes but with those who are way outside.
