DOUGHTY, Charles M. The Cliffs [(A Drama of The Time, In Five Parts) on half-title]. London: Duckworth and Co. [1914].

8vo. Original blue cloth, lettered in gilt on spine, top edge gilt; pp. [viii], 266, [1]; light wear to binding, otherwise a very good copy.

Reissue of the original 1909 sheets. The Cliffs and its sister texts are held by those who know of them as undiscovered treasures of English Literature, much in the same was as Doughty himself is one of the many revolutionary authors who faded into relative obscurity after his death. In this particular instance, the joy of 'The Cliffs', comes in its unparalleled eccentricity. The cast list itself is enough to may any reader balk, with TRUTH and his company of LIGHT ELVES sharing the stage with HUBERT the fisherman and the GHOST OF BUONAPARTE. Shorter than his magnum opus The Dawn In Britain, The Cliffs strikes a more whimsical tone, despite the sub themes of war, invasion and sacrifice. It is through exploiting this dichotomy that Doughty creates a compelling read, a subtlety in his later work that is oft misunderstood.

Doughty's infamous refusal to bow to Victorian standards of propriety in his writings provides amusing results, though perhaps not for the faint-hearted or politically correct. Doughty's strong sense of patriotism occasionally produces an interesting turn of phrase, particularly when discussing those born outside of Britain's shores. Nevertheless, this adds to the flavour of the book, which provides a window into the cultural and literary uncertainty at the beginning of the 20th century, and allows us to see a Doughty more at ease with his unique style of writing than ever before.

“I’ve been through much Doughty of late…its goodness defies the lack of form which would have ruined a less great work”

“A patriotic drama: invasion of Britain by aeroplane & eventual victory of ourselves, chastened into a national frame of mind”

– T.E Lawrence on Doughty and The Cliffs

Awesome Beyond Mere Words
Format: Paperback
Unaware of its full content within, I found this book has revolutionized my inner self's awareness: of WHO I am in Christ, and Who's Inside Me and has been since accepting Christ! This book helped to 'show the way' how; to convert from academic "knowing" thinking to "Spirit-led living." This is a major transitional shift, but one God wants, the Spirit led me to, and what my prayers had been asking for all along without MY-understanding even realizing it! until I 'let go of MY-understanding and let Holy Spirit have the upper hand. It's really a "tuff job!" but one 'worth fighting for'; by letting go. With His 'Power' within, there's no other way but UP. I strongly recommend this book to those seeking a closer/deeper connection with Jesus Christ and God's Holy Spirit. The wording is so very easy to read, yet its depth very profound.

The Supernatural You
I was pleasantly surprised by 'The Supernatural You' by Brenda Kunneman. She exposes you to the power that every believer has inside of them, but is rarely teached in the average church. She talks about her growing up and how she learned about this supernatural power. Very practical tips on how to access your hidden power. I would recommend it to other Christians that want to go deeper in God. Ironically - I hit "Buy This Book" by accident. Now I realize it wasn't an accident....

Biblically sound, step-by-step instruction
Format: Paperback
If you're ready to challenge the current, prevalent (and wrong!) paradigm, this book may be for you: Yes, it IS possible for modern-day, born-again Christians to live in miracles as did the first apostles after receiving the Holy Spirit (Holy Ghost) at Pentecost. This book guides you through the process of stepping into that full, abundant life promised by God.
