A marvellous collection of inspirational, heartwarming true-life stories by the much loved Songs of Praise presenter In the course of her work for the BBC, Pam Rhodes has met hundreds of people whose stories have messages for us all. Some are famous, many are now her friends. Some have found inspiration and support through their Christian faith, others have found strength in other ways. Now a number of them have felt able to share with Pam - and with us - their touching and emotive, sometimes shocking experiences. It's an intimate and encouraging book of personal, heartfelt stories that echo the kinds of challenges most of us face at some time in our lives. For instance, Elaine Harrild was the teacher at Dunblane primary school. Shot herself and handicapped ever since, she witnessed the insane massacre of sixteen children, and has worked ever since to hold their small community together. A group of former POWs who worked on the Death Railway were stunned to hear of a monument to their former comrades in Japan itself, and were moved to return fifty years later to participate in an act of reconciliation. Ruth Merry, paraplegic from birth, talks of her experiences representing Britain in the Disabled Olympics - and her search for a man! And Frances Shand-Kydd talks movingly of her presonal response to the death of her daughter, Princess Diana.

For most of the last 2000 years, churches have formed the core of community activity throughout Britain and Ireland. Despite increasing secularization, more people still go to church on Sunday than attend football matches on Saturday. In this charming new book, popular TV presenter Pam Rhodes takes the reader on a personal, illustrated tour from Orkney to Cornwall, Belfast to Essex, exploring the rich variety of architectural styles, history and character of her favorite churches.  Alongside the glory of some of the great cathedrals we are invited to sample the intimate atmosphere of some of the tiniest churches in the land. We visit churches which have endured throughout the last millennium and communities which have played their part in modern day conflict resolution.

"As I stand at my kitchen sink and look across at what we optimistically call our herb garden, to one side I see an old wooden sign on which are carved the words 'Arthur's Garden'. Arthur doesn't live here. My wonderful great-uncle died nearly thirty years ago having spent most of his long life in the Victorian terraced house in which his mother had brought up eleven children. The sign had stood in the garden there for decades, a gift to the man who'd always cherished that small patch of Kent, creating a riot of glorious colour which lit up the row of long, narrow strips that tumbled down to a line of back gates from which you could look across the lane to the local coal yard below." In Arthur's Garden, Pam Rhodes collates a heart-warming collection of songs and poems, advice and tit bits about the glorious, very ordinary, English garden - told through the life of her Uncle Arthur. This is a gardening book, with a story.
