Your Mate, Hodgkin’s

 

A True Story Of Resilience, Positivity and Self-Help

AT THE AGE OF 32, STAYING POSITIVE WAS ROB’S BIGGEST HURDLE, WHEN HE FOUND HIMSELF FACE TO FACE WITH STAGE 4 HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA.

While the doctors excelled in diagnosis, surgical procedures and prescribing chemotherapy regimens, when it came to maintaining
optimism or prescribing diets that nourish a body ravaged by cancer and treatment, the advice on hope and healing was scarce.

As Rob’s journey progressed, he seized the unique opportunity to analyse and document his path to maintaining a positive mindset.
Through simple yet powerful ideologies, Rob delves into the importance of perspective and captures deeply vulnerable moments through his journaling. Through the face of uncertainty, the agonising wait for a diagnosis, and the chilling realisation of death’s
veil over his life, Rob offers profound insights into the crucial strategies that enabled him to break free from the grip of negativity.

“I couldn’t escape by travelling overseas or quitting my job, the way most young people deal with their issues. My philosophy was to break the journey down into steps. One by one, there is a step to recognition, to recovery, and to maintain mindfulness and self-strength.”

Your Mate, Hodgkin’s is a compelling and detailed account of Rob’s journey through cancer. This must-read story weaves together extensive research with the firsthand experience of a chemotherapy patient. It offers valuable guidance to patients, support networks, and practitioners alike, providing essential tools for everybody coping with cancer and other life-altering traumatic events.

Blumberg Hill

 

The Silent Witness To The Events And People Of Birdwood

Blumberg Hill is the fourth in a projected series of seven books focussing on some South Australians – why they came, what they and their descendants did, and why the State is better for their achievements.

Author Richard Maerschel’s aim is to shine a light onto several unknowns, to propose answers to some hard questions, and to correct a few misconceptions.

His subjects are mainly 19th century German-speaking migrants, their relations with Anglo-Saxons and Irish, and rural transport and communications. For this series so far Richard has written over 800 pages with hundreds of references, photos and maps.

Transforming Lives

 

God’s Love Through ALPHA in Prisons

This book chronicles the extraordinary journey of a retired civil engineer who heeded God’s call to minister to prisoners. After 42 years in engineering, Bernie embraced a new path as a chaplain, running Alpha courses in Prisons. This book recounts his transformation and the profound impact of Alpha on the lives of inmates. Through heartfelt testimonials, prisoners express their gratitude and newfound faith. With over 500 prisoners completing Alpha at six prisons in Western Australia to date, the ministry has witnessed remarkable spiritual awakenings. The narrative also highlights how spiritual transformation can reduce crime and recidivism, advocating for a rehabilitation-focused prison system. Bernie’s story encourages readers to step out in faith, promising an adventurous journey filled with blessings and purpose in serving the Lord.
Enjoy and be transformed!

About The Author

BERNIE O’LEARY HAS had an amazing and awe-inspiring journey, over the last 10 years, running Alpha in Western Australian Prisons.

The Lord specifically led him into this ministry, after a 42 year career as a Civil and Water Engineer, with nothing to do with Prisons in his life! Bernie is the Alpha Prisons Ambassador – Western Australia, with Alpha Australia.

He has seen about 540 prisoners doing Alpha in WA, so far (at 2024), and seen many prisoners coming to the Lord, and being transformed.

This book has also shown the results of some overseas initiatives, in major focuses on spiritual transformation and rehabilitation, rather than only a custodial focus.

These have shown huge reductions in number of prisoners, and recidivism rates.

He has said that this whole journey continues to be an incredible adventure, with huge eternal impacts!

Requiem For A Pandemic

A Post Apocalyptic Christmas Tale

A perfect balance between silliness and profound emotional depth, making it a truly unique and heartwarming experience.

The spirit of Christmas is facing its greatest challenge. After the apocalyptic COVID-19 Zeta strain devastated humanity, Kris, once known as Santa, wanders a desolate world. Depressed and aimless, he stumbles upon a struggling settlement on Coode Island and sees a glimmer of hope.

Determined to revive the joy and unity of Christmas, Kris seeks the help of his wife, Martha, and his old friends, April, the Tooth Fairy, and Harry, the Easter Bunny.

Together, they must confront the dangers of this new world and the divisions and deceptions threatening to tear them apart. As Kris battles to restore the traditions that once brought people together, he discovers his greatest fight is against hopelessness and despair.

Requiem for a Pandemic is a poignant post-apocalyptic Christmas tale of redemption, resilience, and the enduring power of hope.

Taking Care of Business

Business is immensely rewarding yet extremely tough, rather like parenting. My purpose in writing this book is to encourage you that you are not alone in your daily struggles and the various challenges you encounter.

Our business began to provide us the flexibility needed to work around our young family, and twenty years later it has matured into adulthood. This didn’t happen without the inevitable growth spurts and pains, triumphs and tantrums, highs and lows.

I hope that some of the twenty lessons I’ve shared will motivate you on your own journey, and help you to enjoy the adventure of business more daily.

George

George tells the life story of George T Tilston, who experienced his fair share of trouble and sorrow in his first threescore and ten years: two world wars, a great depression and a deep recession to name a few.

On the verge of reaching his seventieth birthday he did ‘fly away’ – not off the perch exactly, but off to Perth in Western Australia – propelled by the love for his family and the promise of a new beginning.
