NOTE: Harry's books through Amazon UK are not designed as income generators for the author. They are written to explore ideas and themes of interest to Harry, and to encourage wider discussion of the issues and themes of interest to people who ask what real life is all about.

Harry deals frankly with many controversial subjects. (Saints and sinners are to be found in all walks of life, and theology must relate to the real world we live in: a world of increasing insecurity and stress, broken relationships, intolerance and violence - a world that is crying out for spiritual rebirth, however or wherever it may be found.)

Harry's novels deal with communities in turmoil and aim to encourage a final, feel-good factor. Memorable characters and situational humour are ever present.

Please note that Harry explores spiritual, sexual, and other, motivations in ways that can offend people with very rigid ideas of right and wrong. 

 

Most of Harry's books are published on Kindle as E-Books, at very low prices. Why not try one?

 

Harry's paperback books can be ordered directly from Amazon.co.uk, or where indicated, directly from Harry at houldken@gmail.com

 

Harry is a retired principal lecturer in higher education and is willing to engage with individuals or interest groups, and especially with persons who ask: 'Why the Christian Church is losing members in western society, and what can be done about it? (Harry is a very free-thinking Christian.)
