Bookbound Publishing, Self, 2007 Bookbound Publishing 2007, Softcover. About the book: This is a biographical treatise on the life and ministry of a special "Clergyman" who demonstrated in his own life, as well as for many others, how to draw upon the Power of God for healing - TODAY. The book shares a number of his personal callenges drawn from the author's own experiences during which the redemptive work of Christ Jesus, is brought to bear upon "Whatever you as for in prayer" Mark 11:24. Jim would often remind us what the Bible says, as well as what the Bible does not say. The Bible does not say, God's blessing for Healing has ever, or will ever be withdrawn. Man says this! The Bible does not say "faith" in God is for Salvation alone, any more than it says it is for Healing alone. The Bible says, Jesus says - faith in God is for "Whatever you ask for in prayer"

Andre Deutsch, London, 1972 illustrated by George Mikes, FFOLKES. Hardcover. Fuchsia cloth, gilt letters on spine, white & color illus. dust jacket, 125 pp., BW illus. "If anyone knows how to run a Stately Home it is the Duke of Bedford, whose Woburn Abbey -- house, grounds and Game Reserve -- gives pleasure to some 1,200,000 people a year. He has now decided to share his knowledge, reviving to that end the partnership with George Mikes which produced 'The Duke of Bedford's Book of Snobs.' The splendid thing about [this book] is that it tells you exactly what the title promises. If you are planning to open your own Stately Home you would be mad not to read it first. The rest of us can settle for the entertainment offered by the Duke's tips and revelations, which can be as disconcerting as they are fascinating."
