The Gift of Biography

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit

Is your church alive? Is it on fire? Are the power and presence of the Holy Spirit something that you feel and experience when you meet to worship the Lord with your brothers and sisters in Christ? Do the services bring blessings? Is the reality of God’s presence so real that you know without a shadow of doubt that God has spoken to you and you come away feeling challenged, edified and brought closer in your relationship to the Lord?
In many churches there is evidence that the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are not operating as the scriptures indicate they should, and so it is little wonder that they are bereft of the power which God wants to make manifest through His people in His church and in the world.

The Gold Card Brigade

The crowds at English county cricket matches are dominated by senior citizens. Some media commentators can make rather dismissive and patronising comments about these spectators, using terms like the Gold Card Brigade, from the name used for the pensioners’ bus pass in some parts of the country. This book argues that senior cricket spectators deserve more respect. It is an observation of how these spectators behave, both individually and collectively, and a reflection on the conversations they have while they are watching cricket. The book provides an affectionate tribute to the enthusiasm, wisdom and stoicism of the older generation at our county grounds and an invitation to all of us to make sure that we value and treasure these loyal spectators. 

The Graduate Book

“It’s a tough world out there for graduates—and students definitely

 know it. As a result, we’re seeing more and more that they’re preparing

 for post-graduation life early. The Student Book and The Graduate Book

 are invaluable resources, showing them exactly how to get ahead of

 the game whilst still at uni, and what to do if they’ve left their career

 planning until the very last minute! From a real-life success story, it offers

 crucial advice in an engaging and light-hearted way. An essential

 wherever you are in your university career or graduate job search!”

 Lucy Miller, Senior Editor – The National Student

 “We talk and interview with literally thousands of students every year

 and less than 5% of them really know what they need to do to land that

 vital first job. These books should be compulsory reading for every

 student and new graduate.

 We highly recommend it.”

 Jack Catherall, Managing Director Wiser Elite and Wiser Digital.

The Human Whisperer

Our world, like us, is constantly changing and evolving which is a good thing. Although, I feel that as our world gets more complicated with the use of all this artificial intelligence or smartphones, computers and other devices, we may lose who we really are. I am all for looking ahead and not looking back, however, there are certainly good notions to looking back which will help us settle better in the present. That is through remembering who we are, where we came from and having that good old-fashioned common sense that we seem to have lost along the way. This book is going to remind you that there is so much more to us than you think. Science is discovering new things about us all the time; how we think, interact and how we make sense of our world. The ancient civilisations knew this thousands of years ago and were already aware of a lot of the things that science is now unearthing. We are part of, and also connected to the world around us, both physically and mentally and the thoughts and decisions we make have a direct influence not only on us but also on the planet we call home. What I would like to do with this book is bring some of this ancient knowledge back into the foreground and with the help of some ideas from science, show you that if we work along with nature, we truly are capable of anything.

The Ignorance of Racism

Why are some people, organisations, and institutions racist and discriminatory? And why do they continue to repeat their racist acts over and over?

It is because ignorance has been promoted to a level where it is used as a justifiable mindset to perpetrate shameful and ignominious behaviour.

This book is written for everyone to use to inspire others or be inspired to stop racism.

The Inscrutable Master

This book is a deep insight into the phenomenal exploits and beautiful bowling skills of Hugh Joseph Tayfield, the inscrutable master of spin. He played the noble game of cricket with a gallant heart. The Inscrutable Master brings to the reader the brilliance of Tayfield and his unique place in South Africa and cricket’s history.

‘I am sure Sanjit’s assiduously researched book on Hugh Tayfield, about whom the world knows so little, despite his off spinning style and skills being comparable to Jim Laker, will be a huge success.’

Abbas Ali Baig, former Indian cricketer 

The Intuitive Man

Let's be honest, if you are looking at my book, you are desperate to get into a relationship. I understand, dude, because I was too. You are not alone. Understanding a female is nearly impossible. However, if you can be honest with yourself and understand how your past may impact your approach to relationships in the present, this book can help. Example after example is provided in this book so that you can build experience in figuring out when your woman has lost interest or never showed interest. Why waste your time with a relationship that's going nowhere when you can interpret disinterest and move to the next opportunity. Never do it alone. One or more friends can listen to you and provide honest feedback to adjust your game plan. Believe in yourself, you will find the loving relationship you seek.

The Jawbone of a Carnivore

The Jawbone of a Carnivore will fill your imagination with tales of adventure, friendship, eccentric people, success and failure, as well as encounters with life and death. While I explore the adventurous life and the pathway to peace that can come from it, I do not offer instructions on how to pray. I will encourage you to believe that the way we live can become a prayer. This memoir of life on the edge of the unknown trusts that you will strike out on your own audacious exploration of the world and the spirit that surrounds it. Perhaps, through this, you will identify your pathway to peace and in so doing find yourself saying on some cold and snowy morning, “This is a prayer.”

The Joe Public Guide to the Roman Catholic Church

The Roman Catholic Church is the original church of Christianity and is one of the oldest institutions in the world.

It has survived for over 2,000 years and has over 1.2 billion adherents.

This book observes how the Church has transitioned from a simple structure to one of great complexity and great wealth. This wealth is examined.

The Roman Catholic Church has been responsible for many good things in this world but as this book shows, it has also been embroiled in many controversial episodes.

The accusations that it has been involved with murder, the Mafia and unscrupulous wealth creation, are all covered in this short book.

This book was written in 2019 by a non-Catholic for the benefit of other non-Catholics who have a natural curiosity regarding powerful and long-lasting institutions that have been very influential over so many people’s lives.

The Kid From Port Douglas

You are transported into this huge-hearted girl’s world and gasp at the earthy honesty of a child condemned to a life of hard-working business-owning parents as she goes on to unfold the similarities in her own eventual career and life path. Some of the stories will break the hardest of hearts or produce the heartiest belly laughter. The author has an easy literary style whilst also embracing some controversially high-brow topics, in contrast, emerging as infamous winners of reality TV. Military parade life, travel petty officers and parade grounds, Switzerland, Kensington High Street, Port Douglas, Hotels, Mareeba and Wales. Also some incredible stories of family war heroes; of Changi Prison and the Red Baron. And of Taffy Lloyd, the last man on the beach in Dunkirk. Every page has its own charm, you will consider it a well-chosen book, so curious reader, enjoy.
