Hello

from Jo

People my age are haunted by the spectre of how good things used to be. The way round this is to pretend to be your own grandson, jump in puddles and don't believe a word of what real life tells you.

Of the 14 books I've written, some are autobiographical and some fiction. Running through them, a touch of humour.

We navigate life's highways on boats, bikes and vans. We've manged to outrun the grim reaper so far - thankfully. So in varying degrees of comfort we continue continue to roam.

Directly below is my current project, and boy, what a ride that has been.

Believe it or Not!

A journey of a different kind

This one spiritual

I have been on a fascinating journey. It's one that many people take, particularly as the years roll by.

It took a children's carol service to detonate the explosion, but after it I excommunicated myself from all things religious, including God.

There's a magic about children singing carols. But is the nativity narrative true or hyped or bunkum? I had more serious questions about why I wasn't listened to when I prayed and nobody listened during my Mum's awful demise.

I researched, soul-searched, talked, read and watched. Then wrote it all down, and what emerged was both amazing and enlightening.

My new journey covers:

• Personal Experiences

• The History of different Religions

• Modern Science and evolution

• Philosophy

• Scriptures - The Bible, The Quran and others

• Religions influence

• Who created what, when and how

• Do I need (a) Religion / Do I need (a) God?

Did you know ???

The Catholic and Protestant Bibles are different lengths

The 3 Biggest Religious Groups are Christianity, Islam and 'Unaffiliated'

The Bible took 1500 years to write, edit and ratify

Catholicism started 33 CE, Islam 610 CE, Protestantism 1517 CE. (CE = AD)

Between the ages of 12 and 30 there is no record of Jesus in The Bible

I've compiled it all into a medium-length book called:

Believe it or Not!

Have a sneak peek - it's free to a good home!

It will be fully published shortly. Problem is, my editor is a very devout Christian so on some points we'll have 'diverging opinions'. He'll either red-slash the whole thing and chuck it in the bin or perform under sufferance for a small fee.
