Terry Lawton Livres

Exploring the evolution of nymph fishing, this book delves into its origins in the UK and its expansion to countries like the US, Australia, and New Zealand. It highlights the pivotal debate between F. M. Halford's dry-fly philosophy and G. E. M. Skues' innovative techniques, which transformed nymph fishing into a widely accepted practice for targeting trout and grayling. The narrative also covers the adaptation of nymph fishing methods globally, showcasing the influence of English anglers and their writings on the sport's development over the past fifty years.

Whatever happened to hope? If you feel trapped by your circumstances and can’t see a way out, Terry Law wants to show you a new paradigm--the paradigm of hope, which he defines as the confident expectation of the goodness of God. This is not cheap optimism, a pep talk sprinkled with Bible references. This is real hope, the kind that knows “God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” This book is all about hope as a mindset, a habitual choice, the course of first resort when despair tries an ambush. In other words, whether you are hopeful or hopeless is up to you. Perhaps you think it’s too late for you to make such a shift in your thinking, that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But you’re wrong! No matter how many years may have slipped through your fingers, thanks to God’s grace and mercy, every minute of your future is still on your side.
