Andrew Thomson Livres

Few British pastors can claim to have written a book that is amongst the 'life-books of their generation', yet this preacher of the Scottish Reformation is one.

Ben Feldman perfected a series of techniques for selling life insurance that earned him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most outstanding salesman in history. Drawing on these foolproof techniques, this book offers a step-by-step action plan leading to sales success. You will be able to follow and absorb the working philosophy, the approaches, the closes, presentations and power phrases that made Ben Feldman the greatest insurance salesman in the world.

In the early 1990s three young people attracted to the ambitious global peacekeeping work of the UN cross paths in Cambodia. Andrew strives for a better world through his life-saving work as a doctor. Heidi, a social worker, is in need of a challenge and a paycheck, and Ken is fresh from Harvard and brimful of idealism. As their stories interweave through the years, from Rwanda, Bosnia and Somalia to Haiti, the trio reveal a world of witnessed atrocities, primal fear, desperate loneliness and base desires. They fend off terror and futility with revelry, humour and sex; ask hard questions about the world order America has created, the true power of the UN, and whether there is any possibility for change. This is a startling celebration of the power of humour and friendship, of the limits of human compassion, and the need for a warm body and a cold beer during a Condition Echo lockdown. A book that shows the human cost of global politics and the tragic truth that wars are much more avoidable than our governments would ever admit. A brilliant, provocatively funny and fast moving book.

John Owen (1616-1683) was one of the defining theologians in the Christian era. Andrew Thomson uses various sources for this biography including Owen's adversaries 'who could not be silent on so great a name or withhold reluctant praise.

It offers insights into Owen's profound contributions to Puritan thought and Christian doctrine, making it a valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in 17th-century theology.
