  ‘If you’ve read anything about the alien abduction enigma, then you will surely have heard the term ‘the greys’ which, of course, refers to the small grey humanoids involved in such experiences. In this book, investigator and experiencer Philip Kinsella draws on his extensive experience to pose the crucial questions about this phenomenon. The author also looks at the similarities with other high-strangeness experiences with a wide variety of otherworldly beings around the globe. If you have any interest in these subjects, then this could well be the book for you.’  Philip Mantle, British Ufologist, researcher, and author.  
  ‘Philip Kinsella’s Terrestrial Trespassers is an up-to-date, intelligent and broad-ranging survey of the alien abduction phenomenon, which explores many related paranormal phenomena as an integral part of the author’s thesis. Illustrations (many by Ronald Kinsella), archive photos, graphs and maps relevant to the narrative text enhance the reader’s experience by bringing the story alive. Highly recommended for both those new to this study and those more familiar with the literary canon on the subject.’  Steve Aspin, author of Out of Time: The Intergenerational Abduction Program Explored (2022) 
  ‘Excellent writing and ideas.  Philip explores numerous aspects of this strange phenomenon and includes a spiritual discussion.  One idea is that the Greys may be clones or artificially fabricated and may have eradicated the elements of their ‘spirit,’ which humans possess.  They may see using us as a method to escape such a robotic existence.’  Dr Irena McCammon Scott, author of "UFOs Today: 70 Years of Lies, Misinformation, and Government Cover-up."

  What Does God Think about Technology?
  From smartphones to self-driving cars to space travel, new technologies can inspire us. But the breakneck pace of change can also frighten us. So how do Christians walk by faith through the innovations of Silicon Valley? And how does God relate to our most powerful innovators?
  To build a biblical theology of technology, journalist and tech optimist Tony Reinke examines nine key texts from Scripture to show how the world's discoveries are divinely orchestrated. Ultimately, what we believe about God determines how we respond to human invention. With the help of several theologians and inventors throughout history, Reinke dispels twelve common myths in the church and offers fourteen ethical convictions to help Christians live by faith in the age of big tech.

He also brings back Mutt, the famous hero-dog of his classic The Dog Who Wouldn't Be, and his pet owl Wol, hero of Owls in the Family. The tale of an outrageous and clever boy, Born Naked takes its place as the foundation of the Farley Mowat canon.
