  Angela Jung is a pastor's daughter and a registered nurse. She married her husband Werner at just 19 years old. Together they have six children. Even as a teenager, Angela began praying for her own and others' needs and repeatedly experienced amazing miracles, even though she herself had to endure much suffering and pain. But it's not about her; it's solely and primarily about Jesus. He speaks today too not just to celebrities, but to all those who are sick and need Jesus so much. Everyone is important to Him, and this can be clearly seen in this book. Angela Jung is a prayer, an intercessor, a mouthpiece, and herself a ray of light because she continually hears God's voice, is in contact with Him, is guided by Him, and shines through Him.

  Arthur Morrison was born on November 1st, 1863, in Poplar, in the East End of London. From the age of 8, after the death of his father, he was brought up, along with two siblings, by his mother, Jane. 
  Morrison spent his youth in the East End. In 1879 he began as an office boy in the Architect's Department of the London School Board and, in his spare time, visited used bookstores in Whitechapel Road. He first published, a humorous poem, in the magazine Cycling in 1880. 
  In 1885 Morrison began writing for The Globe newspaper. In 1886, he switched to the People's Palace, in Mile End and, in 1888, published the Cockney Corner collection, about life in Soho, Whitechapel, Bow Street and other areas of London.  
  By 1889 he was an editor at the Palace Journal, reprinting some earlier sketches, and writing commentaries on books and articles on the life of the London poor. 
  By 1890 he was back at The Globe and published ‘The Shadows Around Us’, a supernatural collection of stories.  Also at this time he began to develop a keen interest in Japanese Art. 
  In October 1891 his short story A Street appeared in Macmillan's Magazine. The following year he married Elizabeth Thatcher and then befriended publisher and poet William Ernest Henley for whom he wrote stories of working-class life in Henley's National Observer between 1892-94.  
  In 1894 came his first detective story featuring Martin Hewitt, described as "a low-key, realistic, lower-class answer to Sherlock Holmes”. 
  Morrison published A Child of the Jago in 1896 swiftly followed by The Adventures of Martin Hewitt. 
  In 1897 Morrison wrote seven stories about Horace Dorrington, a deeply corrupt private detective, described as "a cheerfully unrepentant sociopath who is willing to stoop to theft, blackmail, fraud or cold-blooded murder to make a dishonest penny."  
  To London Town, the final part of a trilogy including Tales of Mean Streets and A Child of the Jago was published in 1899. Following on came a wide spectrum of works, including novels, short stories and one act plays.  
  In 1911 he published his authoritative work Japanese Painters, illustrated with art from his own collection.  
  Although he retired from journalistic work in 1913 he continued to write about Art.  
  In his last decades Morrison served as a special constable, and reported on the first Zeppelin raid on London. Tragically in 1921 his son, Guy, who had survived the war, died of malaria.  
  The Royal Society of Literature elected him as a member in 1924 and to its Council in 1935.   
  In 1930 he moved to Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire. Here he wrote the short story collection Fiddle o' Dreams and More. 
  Arthur Morrison died on the 4th December 1945.  He was 82 years.

  A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention...

  Rebecca Schiller

  It should have been Rebecca Schiller's dream come true: moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land. But, as she writes: The summer of striding out toward a life of open fields and sacks of corn, I brought a confused black hole of something pernicious but not yet acknowledged along for the ride. 
   
   
   
  Rebecca's health begins to crumble, with bewildering symptoms: frequent falls, uncontrollable rages, and mysterious lapses in memory. As she fights to be seen by specialists, her fledgling homestead—and her family—hang by increasingly tenuous threads. And when her diagnosis finally comes, it is utterly unexpected: severe ADHD. 
   
   
   
  In her scramble for answers, Rebecca's consciousness alternately sears with pinpoint focus and spirals with connections. Childhood memories resurface with new meaning, and her daily life entwines with the history of women who tended this land before her. Her family weathers their growing pains where generations of acorns have fallen to rise again as trees, where ancient wolves and lynx once stalked the shadows. Written in unsparing, luminous prose, this is an all-absorbing memoir of one woman's newfound neurodivergence—and a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal and good or different and broken.
