Great Britain: Inter-Varsity Press. Paperback. Slight crease to corner front cover. 'Sixteen infant schoolkids and their teacher were murdered by a crazed gunman at gym class yesterday' (Dumblane, Scotland). 'James Bulger's battered body was found on a railway line two days after he was lured from a shopping centre' (Merseyside, England). The front pages read like a macabre nightmare. These crimes show a sickening disregard for human life and dignity, the very essence of which makes up civilised society. And when prisoners stage rooftop protests from overcrowded prisons, when the figures for crime refuses to come down fo any amount of investment into policing, we know there must be something very wrong with our criminal justice system. The answer is not, writes the author, more police, more prisons or tougher sentencing. It lies in how we answer four foundational questions: 'Who are we'?, 'What is justice'?, 'Can we be redeemed'? and 'How can we restore Shalom to crime-ravaged communities'? Colson contends that no worldview other than the biblical one can sustain a rational, liveable and just society, and that by returning to it we can retrieve a system of justice which restores peace and order to individuals and to society. Charles Colson is a leading US authority on causes and responses to crime. In 1975, on his release from prison on Watergate-related offences, Colson launched Prison Fellowship, which now serves the spiritual and practical needs of prisoners in eighty-three countries. Through the world of Justice Fellowship, founded in 1983, Colson works with legislators and policy-makers to promote principles of restorative justice. 150 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .

But when a mummified body found in a local peat bog turns out to have an Elvis tattoo, Fin is reluctantly drawn into the murder investigation., Quercus, 2014-09-02, 3, Like New PaperbackBook Two of the Meredith "Merry" Gentry Series.A Caress of Twilight begins a few months after the events of A Kiss of Shadows. It is December, and Merry and the Sidhe warriors she has chosen as her lovers have returned to Los Angeles, California. Merry has resumed working for the Grey Detective Agency and several of the Sidhe have also joined the payroll.Merry is approached by Maeve Reed, previously known as Conchenn before her exile from the Seelie Court and now a famous Hollywood actress. Maeve asks Merry to perform a fertility rite that will permit her to have a child by her dying human husband. In return, she tells the princess that the reason for her exile was that she had refused to become the wife of Taranis, King of Light and Illusion, because she believed he was sterile.Galen, badly injured by the demi-fey during A Kiss of Shadows, has yet to heal, despite the usually phenomenal healing abilities of a sidhe warrior. Merry approaches the Queen of the Demi-Fey, Niceven, regarding a cure. The price of the cure and an alliance is a weekly drink of Merry's blood by a surrogate to be chosen by Niceven.During Merry's first night in bed with Doyle, they are interrupted by Andais who reveals that the Nameless has been freed. The worst of both courts, the Nameless was the last great spell that Seelie and Unseelie had cooperated upon. They had stripped themselves of everything too awful for them to be permitted to stay in the United States, and from it had been formed the Nameless.A strange murder brings members of the Grey Agency, including Merry, to the scene. However, their presence is challenged by others of the police force and they are thrown off site. However, this is not before they have a chance to suspect that supernatural forces are at work. It is suspected that the lives had been sucked from the murder victims by the ghosts of dead gods. Nothing is said to the police, however, as the only known person to work such a spell was a sidhe and, if it were discovered, that fact could result in all sidhe being banished from the country.Healed from his injuries by Niceven's representative, Sage, Galen acts the part of the Green Man in the fertility ritual with Merry which results in Maeve Reed becoming pregnant.It begins to become clear that Taranis is also planning something as various social secretaries insist upon Merry attending first the Yule Ball and then a feast in her honour. This culminates in a conversation between Merry and Taranis himself.Finally, the Nameless attacks Maeve Reed's home. It is finally defeated by Merry and her companions, Merry herself showing for the first time her second Hand of Power - the Hand of Blood. The result of the destruction of the Nameless is the release of the magics which formed it; these magics transfer themselves to the victors, who begin to exhibit unforeseen side effects., Fawcett, 4, New York: Harper Collins, 2007.
