The Joys and Troubles of a Missionary Life: Jowett Murray in the China of 1909-1945
A man surveys the life of his father, a British missionary to China, in this biography. From its opening chapter, which introduces readers to Jowett Murray as he studies Confucianism and Taoism on a ship bound for Asia, this biography centers on the nearly 40 years the Oxford-educated Christian missionary spent in China from 1909 to 1945. Mostly written by Jowett’s son, David, the book was completed by Ruth Finnegan, the author’s wife, following his deteriorating health in 2022. And while written by David, the book emphasizes that it “is no hagiography” and is careful to balance its overall favorable analysis with examples of times when the missionary engaged in “unpleasant personal feuding.” READ MORE INTRO HERE...

Reviewed by Saifunnissa Hassam for Readers’ Favorite – 5-star. R. Kristi’s novella, The Moving Finger Moves On, is an intriguing crime mystery inspired by Agatha Christie’s short story, The Moving Finger. The story is set in the English village of Lymstock. Jerry Burton and his fiancée Megan are in the process of settling down in the village. They soon discover that the seemingly tranquil village has recently been upended by the unexpected and tragic death of Mrs. Symmington, the solicitor’s wife. Compounding the tragedy is the sinister discovery that Mrs. Symmington was poisoned. Amid the turmoil and gossip, the eccentric villager Mr. Pye invites Jerry and Megan to his home to celebrate their engagement. Other villagers are also present. The next morning, Mr. Pye is found dead in his home. He has been murdered!

This book is the art-companion companion to the novel The Black Inked Pearl. It is also a colouring book with images for YOU to colour in using YOUR imagination. On some pages it builds on the traditional form of colouring - inside firm lines - on others it calls, more daringly, on the modern technology of blurred and rubbed colouring,
And there is more - think COLOUR SECRETS: What are these colours that we see and try to copy? How are they made? How did they start and what (if anything) do they mean? Are colours perhaps only a trick of the light or of the way our eyes see, not really of any independent existence?
