Summary

A collection of autobiographical essays that glean meaning from everyday life by the poet and author of Tanning Season and Still in Soil.  Sunshine Falls is Kyle David Torke’s beautiful, elegiac account of living in a world rich with mystery and impermanence. In twenty far-reaching, story-driven essays, we follow the author from his first love in sixth grade to the demise of his marriage thirty years later, experiencing the full potency, confusion, and promise of human interaction, loss, and triumph. In crisp, sparkling prose, Torke shines focused light into the cracks of human experience, causing us to laugh—and wince with recognition—at the awkwardness of growing up, the joys of love, the pangs of loss, and the death-defying adventure of life as we know it.

    We live surrounded by an invisible world which affects our lives in many ways. 
 In this book we will take a journey from barely visible life, to cells, their structures, molecules, atoms, fundamental particles and even smaller. 
 We will explore not just the facts about this small world, but also try to unearth interesting facts to ponder too. 
 For example, what did paranormal investigators believe about the structure of atoms over one hundred years ago? 
 And what particles or forces might be smaller than the standard building block particles we know about today? 
 Also, what are the limitations of the standard model of subatomic particles? 
 There are many things in the microscopic world which you might not expect. 
 The journey from the small to the infinitely small starts here.

    An intimate account of struggling with depression and breakdown as a Christian.

 
Many Christians who suffer from depression and mental breakdown struggle to rationalise it with their faith. In this honest and thoughtful book, Jon Grogan shares what helped him to understand and recover from depressive illness. This empathetic approach will help sufferers feel better understood, with an improved understanding of the issues they deal with on a daily basis, and a renewed sense of place within the church community.

 
From Over The Edge addresses the way in which different Christian spiritual traditions can be drawn upon to help sufferers and complement treatments that are likely to be on offer.

 
Christians can often be unsure about how their faith can relate to the fields of psychology and psychiatry, and Jon’s careful navigation of these subjects, mixed with a sprinkle of humour, brings much-needed illumination.

 
Jon Grogan is a lawyer and lives in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. He is married with two children.
