I Rest My Case

The third book in the bestselling and hilarious series of ‘Am I Alone . . . ?’ books From bin Laden to Pippa Middleton’s bottom, and from riots to Rebekah Wade, Telegraph readers offer their maverick and hilarious take on the year’s events, in the letters the paper didn’t publish, because they were just too off-the-wall, too outrageous, or too waggish for an august Letters page. The first two volumes of unpublished letters to the Daily Telegraph, Am I Alone in Thinking? and I Could Go On . . . have both been Christmas bestsellers, and sold well in excess of 100,000 copies. Once again, it will be an essential Christmas present to give or to receive. SIR - A question for your male readers: which would you rather be invited to – the Royal wedding, or one of Silvio Berlusconi’s bunga bunga parties? SIR - All these years I have lived under the impression that Middleton Bottom was a rural west-country village. SIR - It is a pity Osama bin Laden was not taken alive. He could have been sentenced to go through airport security for the rest of his life. SIR - May I suggest that if the police are to use water cannon to disperse rioting students, they include some soap in the tank? SIR - Is a super-injunction the morning-after pill for celebrities?

As you radiate peace and goodwill, you open up the channels for Gods love to come in. Every day, we have to blot out noises and chatter and listen for the voice of God and respond accordingly. The acceptable time is not the length of time. It is the due time God has alloted for his children. The choices we make are the ones we have to live with. Choose well. With a strong arm, God will bring us to a place of surrender. The Holy Spirit desires that we walk in integrity and humility in order to have an encounter with God. He must be properly introduced. Many know of him, yet they do not know him as the giver of life. The enemy has cast a spirit of seduction and self-destruction on this generation and this peoplea generation that has been written off as hopeless and lost, plagued with fear, addiction, and abuse. What we fail to see is the invisible cry from within. Somebody help me with this. Is there hope for me? Sometimes words are difficult to express. And sometimes there is no one to listen. Questions: Will God accept me in my sin? Is there a place for me in the church? What if Im a homosexual or lesbian and struggling, searching for a way out? Can you look past my dress code and see whats in my heart or at least ask? This is not working for me. I really need some help over here.

John and Julie Gottman, world-renowned for bringing an evidence base to couples therapy, report here the results of a second empirical revolution in understanding couples and families. This change is not based on their guesswork, but on state-of-the-art science. The book you hold in your hands finally completes the old general systems theory of the 1960s, which metaphorically described processes but did not actually research them. A new general systems theory and therapy is presented here, one which will have profound implications for powerful clinical work with both couples and families. This new theory is based on 45 years of careful basic scientific research with thousands of couples and families, including synchronized observational, interview, physiological, and questionnaire data. The Gottmans have studied some families for as long as 20 consecutive years. Their work has led to their highly replicated ability to precisely predict the future of relationships, relationship happiness, and whether couples will divorce or not with as much as 94% accuracy. Their empirical work has also led them to develop and test a theory of specifically what makes relationships work. Each construct in this theory is precise and measurable and it is all written about and described here. This book presents an original new way of understanding relationships and families. Both theoretical and highly practical, and it will help clinicians become more effective in their everyday work.
