If you are interested in who we are as an individual, what we are doing on this planet, and where we are going as a human race, then you will be interested in the person who gave us the answers in his book entitled Our Ultimate Purpose in Life. My Life in a Nutshell is a brief summary of his life and the fun and frustrations that eventually led to his writing the book as an expression of his fulfi lment need and desire to contribute to the future of mankind. His journey began in 1941 in Germany, where he still managed to have a lot of fun, despite the war and the general shortage of food and housing, which he remembers with a sense of humour reflecting his optimism about life in general. He continues his journey in Australia, where he arrived in 1960 together with his family who were intent on becoming citizens in a country full of opportunities, which they applied themselves to with the best of their ability. At the same time, there was a sense of exploitation by the rich and powerful, which led to many a frustration as the author expected a fair return for a fair days work, which he eventually addressed with a TOP Management Manual. Unfortunately, the management system was not yet ready for his vision of the future, which eventually led to his commitment to the research and development of a connection between a Grand Order of Design and The Human Condition. His journey is one which we can all identify with, regardless of our position in life; after all, to be human is all about: Fun, Frustrations and Fulfi lment

Nanna God evolved from my deepest belief that God is love...unconditional love...and the realization that the way I love my own grandchildren comes closest to being an example of that kind of love. In a world where the idea of God has been presented for millennia as masculine, warlike, angry and punishing, isn't it (past) time for another way? The book you are now holding in your hands offers another way.

Developed out of a tremendous interest in "creative" worship, this compilation of worship services comes from a call to churches across Canada, Australia, and the USA to submit liturgies and orders of worship. A number of very special liturgies came from this call, including A Christian Ritual Affirming Pregnancy, An Earth Day Service, A Service of Reconciliation for Congregations in Conflict, and a Service of Naming and Thanksgiving. Also included are poems, readings, songs, and other ideas to build creative worship services for key Sundays of the Christian year. For each worship service there is a full liturgy. Includes a CD containing the text.

A collection of columns originally written for the Sacramento Valley Mirror newspaper. Many concern the writer's memories of growing up in central California.

The Tie That Binds is a compilation of poems written over the lifetime of a Congregationalist minister. The poet and preacher, Richard Carleton, tells us about his faith from day to day, talking about love, philosophy, children, family, and his memories. Within these personal reflections, he speaks of the mystery and eloquence of God. He creates extraordinary pictures of God from the ordinary events in our lives. This is the key! Richard Carleton lets us know that God is central to his thinking and feeling and living. It is both a refuge for him and an exhortation for the rest of us. If you were to accept--just for the time it takes to read these verses--that God is a real part of our lives, you might see your acceptance of our Creator and Redeemer assume a new and expanded reality: God as the underlying force! These poems let you see a man of deep faith, and at the same time, ask yourself about your own faith.
