Best Selling Books by James Wood

Dumbiedykes Road: and Other Collected Poems is the debut poetry collection from London-based playwright James Wood, whose works include Independence Day, Marin County (The Old Court Theatre, Windsor, 2024), The Wolves of Saint Matthew's (Camden, Waterloo and Clapham, 2025), and Prove It All Night! (commissioned by London's largest short-play festival for a five-night run at Battersea Power Station, 2025). In this collection, Wood's dramaturgical precision becomes poetic electricity. The book spans a vast emotional terrain: from the political firestorm of "Fire" and the darkly comic bite of "Let's Talk About It," to the gentle tenderness of "Anna," the aching nostalgia of "We Grew Up on the Edge of England," and the cinematic grief of "Jackson's Bar." Readers drift through the quiet heartbreak of "Friday After Work, By the River," the smoky Southern stillness of "Appalachia," the neon suburban haze of "Ealing Broadway, 2:06am," and the haunting silence of "The Quietest Town in Mississippi." Threaded with themes of place, class, love, memory, and outrage, Dumbiedykes Road offers a portrait of the world that is unflinching yet full of warmth. Wood captures the world as it is felt: messy, political, hopeful, mundane, tragic, miraculous - always human. A collection for anyone who has worked hard, loved deeply, lost badly, and kept going anyway.

Just as in Volume 1 and Volume 2 of the Lambs of Sacrifice series, Volume 3 is a compilation of 34 short stories, poems, visions, dreams, and interesting subjects for you to explore. The author's unique way of presenting biblical truths will often cause you to laugh, sometimes cause your toes to get a bit sore, may cause some tears, but will always cause you to learn more about your relationship with God, and with others, during your exploratory journey with the Lord. Do you hear of new theology ideas going around and wonder if they are truth? Then "Insights into Discerning the Validity of Popular Biblical Doctrines" may give you some understanding of how to discern what you are hearing. Does the term "Mystic" cause you curiosity? Included in this Volume are two short stories about Mystics. Check out "Mystics Post Partum Vulnerabilities" and "The Way of a Mystic." The subject matter of each of the 34 entries varies in great degrees so every one will be able to find a subject that may be the answer to the questions they have had lingering in their own hearts.

Proverbs of james is not one of the lost books of the Holy Bible, nor one of the Dead Sea Scrolls and not even written by the author who wrote the book of James in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. Proverbs of james is a book of short proverbs written in the style of the Biblical proverbs; a wise saying or precept. This book is the beginnings of the journey of a very young man who was called by Jesus to enter into an intimate and loving relationship with his Savior. As this young man, entered into that relationship, he began to be trained to hear the voice of the Lord and to respond to His voice. The proverbs written within were the communications between the Lord and himself. The early years of hearing were also years of training to write down what he was hearing so as to share it with others. That training led this young man into deep study of the Word and writing down of those studies so they could be plainly understood by those seeking truth; Habakkuk 2:2 "And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it." Years have past since those early days, but these proverbs will give you little bits at a time to encourage you and to give you small doses of thought provoking spiritual considerations. May you be greatly blessed, encouraged, and strengthened by these proverbs and may you grow in your relationship with your Savior; Jesus Christ.
