This beautifully written, meticulously detailed, highly engaging book is a rare treat. It evokes a vanished world of railways that achieved extraordinary things logistically while using what is by modern standards distinctly old-fashioned technology. Lifelong railwayman Terry Collins takes the reader on a journey into the heart of what working on the railways between 1962 and 1996 was like, from the days of steam, to the dawn of the modern railway age. The book is also a real eye-opener about many of the behind-the-scenes incidents the public never hears about. ''Never a Dull Moment'' is an absolutely unforgettable book As Terry himself says: ''I really enjoyed working on the railways. We had our tragedies, sadly, but we also dealt with many other challenging incidents, including some bizarre ones, and when we won, against the odds, and got the trains and people moving again, it was a great feeling! I say "e;we"e; because this book is also very much about the many people in the signal boxes, Traffic Control, stations, yards and on the track, that I worked with, some of them "e;larger than life"e; characters, but almost without exception, determined to win. And we did!''

Are you or a loved one in agony over the diagnosis of a terminal illness? For those of us experiencing such hardships, the misery and grief can seem impossible to endure-even more so when prayers for relief seem to go unheard. "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord." Many Christians believe in the power of prayer, but these words, taken from the Book of James, are frequently overlooked in the modern church. Do we pray fervently, truly seeking God? Or do we simply tell Him our desires, cross our fingers, and hope for the best? What does the Bible really say about miraculous healing? In this insightful new book, pastor Terry W. Collins sheds light on the heavenly hope that awaits us all. Through Biblical teaching, personal testimonies, and accounts of divine healings in Scripture, Collins seeks answers to the questions so many believers face. Do miraculous healings happen in the real world? Why does sickness afflict so many good people? And how can we assure that Jesus will hear our prayers for healing? God has provided His children with the answers to these difficult questions. Jesus heals to save. He desires to walk with us daily. By following His Holy process, as laid out in the Bible, you can access the healing touch of the Master Physician. Discover the secret of Jesus'' Healing Ways.
