One Woman's War

Eileen Younghusband

Candy Jar Books

The Second World War is dominated by heroic tales of men defending their country against a formidable enemy, but what about the women who also played their part in fighting for freedom? Eileen Younghusband was just 18 when she joined the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF). She quickly demonstrated her keen intellect and mathematical skills, playing a crucial role in Fighter Command's underground Filter Room. Working gruelling shifts under enormous pressure, she and her companions worked tirelessly, tracking the swarms of enemy aircraft that sought to break the British resolve. She even had the dubious honour of detecting the first of Hitler's devastating V2 rockets as it fell on an unsuspecting London.

New Stars for Old takes readers on a journey through the history of astronomy from the perspective of pivotal figures as they make their discoveries.

*****REVIEWS*****
"In this delightful and erudite mixture of fiction and fact, Marc Read imagines being a fly on the wall of the history of astronomy with fascinating results." (Matt Ridley, author of The Rational Optimist)
 
"A fresh and imaginative introduction to some important early thinkers." (Ursula Coope, Professor of Ancient Philosophy, Oxford University)

"Delightfully written, with an imaginative, informative, light-touch style, New Stars for Old really brings the history of astronomy alive." (Dr John Taylor, Head of Philosophy, Rugby School)

"In an enjoyable series of fictional letters and bright vignettes, Read reminds us that Aristotle, Ptolemy and Kepler were real before they became legends, young before they became old, and sociable human beings before they were turned into detached ideas."

<p>Bruce Collins has taught the contents of these two books to thousands of Church leaders in over 30 countries around the world. Published under one cover, they address these questions –- What is the Christian gospel as Jesus understood and preached it?- Why is it possible for us to preach it the way he did?- How can we be practically equipped to do so?Based on years of practical experience training Church leaders and members in many countries, these books have been written to equip the Church to become far more effective in its gospel ministry to today's world."These books are dynamite and can change everything for you, your church and your ministry!"Daniel Norburg, Senior Pastor Immanuel Church, Malmö, Sweden, National Leader New Wine Sweden"In these powerful books Bruce Collins presents an utterly persuasive argument that God intends the Church today to be proclaiming the Kingdom of God with a demonstrably effective healing ministry, and he sets out very helpfully pathways of faith and spiritual authority for this to come about.Dissatisfied for years with the effectiveness of the Church’s healing ministry, Bruce Collins, in his no-nonsense style, puts more persuasively and thoroughly than I have found before the arguments for the Church today to demonstrate the power of God. Jesus in his self-emptying humanity, and moving in the spiritual gifts, shows us how his disciples are to exercise the reign over creation which God has entrusted to his created humanity. Personally I found these two volumes very convincing and helpful, and I look forward to the next."Rt. Rev. Graham Dow, Bishop of Carlisle (ret’d)</p>
