Book Description
'For all these years I've told stories. Sometimes these days I also tell them on the radio. I've met some amazing people and their stories need told too. The first time Deacon Blue ever played Wembley Arena I started to introduce a song only to hear, "Get on with it" shouted from Row Z. We proceeded with the song, but I often thought I'd quite like to finish that story.' In 1986, Ricky Ross started a full-time career in music, which has lasted for over 35 years. His earlier working life was spent in youth work and teaching in his home city of Dundee, and his adopted home of Glasgow. It was in these two cities where he spent his formative years learning how to write and play songs. Having always written about the people and places who've made an impact on his life, it's no surprise that this is how he has approached Walking Back Home, his first ever memoir, which takes the reader on a journey from Ricky's childhood to the rollercoaster of leading his band to top of the charts and their break-up, his solo career and Deacon Blue's recent renaissance.

The Walk Back to Eden
Author: Melody Westbrook
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664294759
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
God’s word, his stories, surround us every day. We listen to podcasts, read books, and frequent our daily devotionals, but do we really allow our lives to change? Does God’s story become our story? Do we allow God to walk us back to true fellowship and relationship with Him? Or does our sporadic connection with God’s story lie beautifully on the surface impressing others around us without absorbing deep within who we are? Even though the Bible is the greatest story written, it sits on our shelf positioned strategically allowing us to feel we are of the spiritual realm. But what if we pulled it from our shelf and opened it? Would we allow the stories of Adam, Abraham and Sarah change our lives? Would we see the God who saw Hagar? Or would we become frustrated reading a book penned centuries ago because it seems inapplicable and dry? In The Walk Back to Eden, authors Melody Westbrook and Emileigh Ziebka take you on a journey through the Old Testament. You will walk through the garden of Eden, into the wilderness, and be locked inside a boat. You will feel the dirt between your toes walking the roads of Canaan, feel the heartfelt loss as Adam and Eve were kicked out of paradise, and sit in the quiet of the unformed universe. This book offers practical lessons for today taken from a book written centuries ago. You will not want to miss this journey!
