Travel with David as his invisible friend, as he takes you back through time to his happy childhood experiences. Play the games he once played, and enjoy the fun and antics with all of his friends. It is possible that you may recall these times yourself and allow yourself the pleasure of distant memory to revitalise your spirit. Perhaps you are still too young for those memories which will soon be your pleasure, and if so, then just relax and enjoy the fun.

Happy times with friends by Francis Powell uses the same theme and characters as my second in the series "A summer daydream". Happy times with friends, describes the building of relationships that have developed within a group of five young children as they all involve themselves in the games and antics which as youngsters they played. The story takes us back to more innocent times when children would stay outdoors just enjoying each other's friendship, and playing simple games until called indoors. The reader is kept informed throughout the story, as they walk invisible with the main character and explore some of these adventures together along with his friends. Throughout the adventure the reader remains personal to the main character with the ultimate intention of the story giving the reader an experience of remembering those young and carefree days. Perhaps too allow themselves to reminisce about their own personal childhood memories and past adventures. If you should decide to spend your valuable time by choosing to read my book, then I would also be very much obliged to receive your valued feedback.

Happy Times in Norway is a moving and delicately humorous picture of Undset’s own blissful home life before her nation fell to the Nazi occupation. Captured here is the excitement of a Norwegian Christmas, the Seventeenth of May, and summer in the idyllic mountains, as well as the chaotic adventure of raising two energetic boys. With vivid detail and illuminating descriptions of the landscape, Happy Times in Norway is infused with the wish that those cherished days could come again.

Augustine of Hippo, one of the most prolific writers of late antiquity, known primarily for four masterpieces: The Confessions, Teaching Christianity, The City of God, and The Trinity, composed a vast body of work comprised of more than five million words. He composed his earliest works in the form of dialogues shortly before his baptism in 387. The next decade of his life, a relatively unproductive transitional period, was followed by an explosion that averaged, in modern terms, a 300-page book per year. This early trilogy, The Happy Life, The Advantage of Believing, and Faith in the Unseen, demonstrates Augustine's fundamental concern to link Christian faith with the human quest for happiness. These three essential works, which illustrate his dictum that faith is necessary for understanding, constitute a magnificent introduction to Augustinian spirituality. Trilogy on Faith and Happiness reveals Augustine's insight into fundamental existential questions and his conviction that human fulfillment can be found only in the incarnation of Jesus, the Word and Wisdom of God. It will prove especially useful for spiritual reading and for students of Christian spirituality.
