'There is only one book to a man,' Steinbeck wrote of East of Eden, his most ambitious novel. Set in the rich farmland of the Salinas Valley, California, this powerful, often brutal novel follows the intertwined destinies of two families - the Trasks and the Hamiltons - whose generations hopelessly re-enact the fall of Adam and Eve and the poisonous rivalry of Cain and Abel. Here Steinbeck created some of his most memorable characters and explored his most enduring themes: the mystery of identity; the inexplicability of love and the murderous consequences of love's absence.

Terrorism. Same-sex marriage. Debt cancellation. The AIDS pandemic. These are just some of the critical contemporary issues addressed in this book. Issues Facing Christians Today helps thinking Christians sift through and respond to a sweeping array of complex and pressing topics. Thoroughly revised and updated by Roy McCloughry and fully endorsed by John Stott, this fourth edition continues a two-decades-plus legacy of bringing important current issues under the lens of biblically informed thinking.

The case for assisted suicide can seem so compelling. Surely it can't be wrong to help desperate people to kill themselves? Don't we have a right to take our own lives in certain circumstances? There are no trite or easy answers. John Wyatt helps us to navigate the arguments with hearts and heads engaged, and above all with our Bibles open. There are practical and compassionate alternatives to assisted suicide, and as many who have gone before us have found, the end of our lives on this earth may turn out to be a strange and wonderful opportunity for growth and internal healing.

Poetry has over the centuries grouped poets or poems into many different themes and movements. Amongst its most unusual movements are the English wordsmiths, The Silver Poets. This select band lived during the sixteenth century reign of Queen Elizabeth 1st. Amongst their storied ranks were Sir Thomas Wyatt, Sir Philip Sidney, Henry Howard, the Earl of Surrey, Sir Walter Raleigh, John Davies, Michael Drayton and Mary Sidney (Herbert), the Countess of Pembroke.

John Wyatt focuses on the ars moriendi—quite simply the art of dying well and dying faithfully. He offers clear direction, warm reassurance and rock-solid confidence in the One who has conquered death. We cannot choreograph our own death, but we can die well. This is a book for those who are facing death. It is also for their relatives, friends, and caretakers.

I’ve put together an audiobook filled with true stories of my 30 years’ experience working as a paramedic, firefighter, rescue diver, and flight medic. Many of them are tragic with some dark humor mixed in. If you're looking for cute kitten stories, this is not the audiobook for you. However, if you want a glimpse into the real world of what it’s like to be a firefighter and paramedic, look no further.

Rarely are human dilemmas out of the news. And what medical science can do and ought to do—or ought not to do—impinges on our personal lives, families and societies. John Wyatt examines the issues surrounding the beginning and end of life against the background of current medical-ethical thought. Writing out of a deep conviction that the Bible's view of our humanness points a way forward, he suggests how Christian healthcare professionals, churches and individuals can respond to today's challenges and opportunities.

Should doctors be allowed to help terminally ill people kill themselves? How should a humane society respond to those who are suffering terribly at the end of life? What laws are being proposed, and what will be the consequences for dying people, for health-care services, and for society as a whole? John Wyatt has worked as a frontline doctor in the UK National Health Service for more than 30 years and brings his clinical, ethical, and personal experience to this crucial debate. Assisted Dying is a concise, audible, and authoritative guide to a vital question of our times.

In 2015, after a decade of sales, John Wyatt took a sabbatical to Alaska to work as a wilderness guide and commercial fisherman. Using the time and distance from his professional career, he was able to reflect on the sales mindset of the successful sales mentors and colleagues he had worked with, from real estate and investments to medical devices. Finding the common thread of a successful professional sales career, the notes he wrote became this book. The Alaska Pages makes a timeless philosophy immediately applicable to a successful sales mindset.
