New Books For October

Here are some brand new books for October (please click on the book's title for more information on the book!)

Choose Life - By Paul Johnson

Choose Life tells of a journey of personal growth and development, set against the realities of a stressful modern lifestyle. It shows the search for meaning and fulfilment in life, and takes a refreshingly honest and holistic approach to living the life that you want to live - one that is easily accessible, and very different from the usual 'ten easy steps to fulfilment' or promises of 'enlightenment in 30 days'

Roseum Thornycum - By Jarrad Dickson

'Roseum Thornyum' is a phrase Jarrad Dickson gained from seeing a gigantic rose in his bedroom when he was so delusional that he thought he turned into a Roseum Thornycum albino with twenty two fingers that had black, white and red nails.

This book show's the authors writings, mainly from the age of 16-18, showcasing his poetry as well as a short story and his play titled 'Cain and Abel', which he wrote in iambic pentameter when he was 18.

Knocking On Haven's Door - By Barbara Goulden
Barbara Goulden has worked as a journalist on weekly and evening newspapers for most of the past 35 years.

She still remembers the sense of relief she felt after finally being given a name for the condition which was creating such mystifying and upsetting thought patterns in a close relative.
Even though the diagnosis of schizophrenia probably helped Barbara more than the relative who was actually doing battle with the illness, at least it was a starting point for gaining some understanding.
She went on to join the National Schizophrenia Fellowship – now Rethink – and became one of the founding members of the Coventry group.
