SPIRITUAL REFLECTIONS ON TIME FOR EVERYBODY
Now is the Time looks beyond the boundaries of any one faith or church and draws on the great spiritual and philosophical traditions of east and west.
As Sister Stan focuses on a line of poetry from one of the world's great authors, an idea from a psychotherapist or philosopher, or a proverb from oriental wisdom, she weaves her own thoughts around them in a way that presents them afresh, and allows us to see them from a new perspective.
This is book for everyone battling with today's current climate: young or old, male or female, for the converted, the irreligious or plain disaffected.
Reflective, contemplative and spiritual, it is the perfect tonic to our busy and relentless world...
Even the most convinced cynics will find something in Sister Stan's basic premise: "Take time to live - it's what life is for."
—— Ireland on SundayStarting as a light-hearted romp full of small-town losers who've read too much Stephen King, it soon morphs into a more thoughtful investigation... funny, engaging and genuinely frightening, it makes you wonder if all those horror movies you watched as a teenager had it right after all

—— Starburst MagazineWhy do ghosts wear clothes? This is just one of a number of interesting questions raised by this jaunty book ... In a series of short, snappy chapters, Clarke examines the evidence for just about every ghost who ever drew, or withdrew, breath ... but A Natural History of Ghosts is also haunted by another story, lurking not very far beneath: the story of the author's childhood need to believe in ghosts, and the gradual erosion of that belief
—— Craig Brown , Daily MailA gripping history that traces the scientific and social aspects of ghostly sightings
—— TelegraphCompelling ... Research into the paranormal necessarily involves a fair degree of debunking, and Clarke is careful to be sceptical.
