Books by David Cross

With over 180 photos, this book presents two generations of railway photography of the southwest of Scotland. The periods of 1960-80 and 2001-21 were chosen because the former covers the changeover years from steam to diesel, and the latter covers privatization, electrification and a reawakening of the rail network in the southwest.

The author has carefully selected some rare and unusual pictures for this volume, which will be of interest and use to both railway historians and modellers.

This is not a guidebook, though I hope it gives the reader some ideas on places worth seeing, accommodation worth considering, and decent restaurants worth dining in. It does not normally give a list of possible places to stay (only places I have experienced myself being included), but at the end of each chapter, there will be a "Practicalities" page containing the following:1 Useful websites on places, maps, and transport. In general, sites relevant to more than one chapter will be found the first time they are relevant and are referenced in later chapters.2 Accommodation on these pages will be only where I have stayed. I go for cheaper places when I travel alone, although I nearly always choose en-suite rooms as I got older, and moderately cheap when I went with Pam. In general, absence of comment means it is OK, bearing this in mind.3 Restaurants are only mentioned on these pages if they are particularly good, either absolutely or in terms of value for money-or if definitely not recommended.4 Must-sees appear in the chapters themselves but will be summarised on these pages.The index is based on my historic fury at finding pages, only to get a totally uninformative mention of the place in passing. Text (normal print) references are meant to show the first or only page with information about the place. Those planning holidays may find it more helpful to go immediately to pages shown in italic print, where they will often find helpful URLs.I have checked all the multitude of URLs in this book in February 2012, inserting a lot of new ones in place of dead sites. Occasionally my comments on a site may be a bit dodgy now, but there are some great sites here. I'm not sure how I overcame temptation to spend ages just looking at some!

When we realize that relationships are more than just a physical meeting of two people, we begin to understand that some of our relationships might have affected our lives in a negative way. We may find ourselves damaged and tied in a place of bondage from which God wants us to be set free. A way of describing this unseen hold that ties us to bad relationships is an ungodly soul-tie. It is a tie in the spiritual realm that has a hold on the soul. As you read this book you will discover how to find release from ungodly soul-ties and most importantly experience God's freedom and healing. The teaching will be of vital importance to those seeking to help those struggling with the consequences of difficult or ungodly relationships.This book is part of Sovereign World 'Turth & Freedom' series based on the renowned teaching program from Ellel Ministries International.
