Alan Clark – författare

After years of professional ministry, Alan found himself spiritually bankrupt during the perfect storm. A mom with colon cancer and a difficult adoption became the perfect storm to expose the chinks in his armor. He would have to learn how to pray like a warrior during this time of temptation and doubt. God reminded him of the weapons found in Ephesians 6. The armor of God became more than a Sunday School lesson. It revealed the identity in Christ that Alan was struggling with. This book shows how Christians can pray more effectively using the Armor of God as a guide.

Some of the most talked about books of recent years, Alan Clark''s diaries provide a witty and irreverant insider''s account of political life in Britain. Now in one volume.''From the moment the first scabrous and brilliant volume was published, people wanted more. Now they have it and they will not be disappointed... These diaries are not wonderful simply because they show a politician unafraid to say what he thinks, and refusing to suck up to those whom he represents. They are great because they show all sides of a man who was, within his complex personality, arrogant, sensitive, loyal, unfaithful, patriotic, selfish, selfless, and - at all times - completely Technicolour'' Simon Heffner, DAILY MAIL

The second volume of Alan Clark''s bestselling DIARIES, covering the downfall of Margaret ThatcherThe first volume of Alan Clark''s diaries, covering two Parliaments during which he served under Margaret Thatcher - until her ousting in a coup which Clark observed closely from the inside - and then under John Major, constitute the most outspoken and revealing account of British political life ever written. Cabinet colleagues, royalty, ambassadors, civil servants and foreign dignitaries are all subjected to Clark''s vivid and often wittily acerbic pen, as he candidly records the daily struggle for ascendancy within the corridors of power.

''With his Diaries, he has written himself into the life of our times with a panache and candour that ranks him next to Boswell or Pepys'' The TimesThe first two volumes of Alan Clark''s were irresistible, irreverent, infamous, outrageous. This last volume is a fitting finale to the work of a man who has been described as ''the best diarist of his century''. The third volume begins in 1991 with Alan Clark contemplating quitting as an MP. Life at Saltwood Castle, his home, hangs heavy; then comes the Scott inquiry and the Matrix Churchill affair. Publication of the first volume of the Diaries leads ''the coven'', a family of former girlfriends, to sell their story to the NEWS OF THE WORLD. This volume follows his attempts to return to Westminster, an affair that threatens his marriage, and closes with the tragedy of his final months when he is diagnosed with a brain tumour, but keeps his diary until he can no longer focus on the page.
