John Baker Bücher

Von Oktober bis April kommt ein Wanderfalkenpaar zum Jagen an die ostenglische Küste, wo John Alec Baker es beobachtet: Die beiden Vögel baden, töten, fressen, schlafen. Seine Aufzeichnungen werden zum poetischen Tagebuch einer Obsession, ein Klagelied auf die Anmut und Einsamkeit des Jägers. Mit scharfem Bewusstsein für die Schönheit der Natur erzählt Baker die Geschichte seiner Annäherung an den schwer fassbaren Falken, in der er förmlich mit dem Vogel verschmilzt. Der Wanderfalke ist die sprachgewaltige Liebeserklärung an eine Landschaft, die Baker – obgleich tausendfach beschrieben – aus neuer Perspektive zu zeigen vermag: Durch die Augen des Vogels wird uns England zur Wildnis. Wie kaum ein anderes Buch feiert dieses Meisterwerk der literarischen Naturbeobachtung die unerschöpfliche Vitalität der Natur.

Norman, ein Psychopath, sucht in York nach einer alten Liebe, die er töten will. Seine blutige Spur führt ihn dorthin, doch die Suche gestaltet sich schwierig.

Sam Turner steht vor der Wahl zwischen einem Esperanto-Kurs und einer Männergruppe. Er entscheidet sich für die Identität eines Privatdetektivs und erhält einen Observationsauftrag, der ihn zur Leiche seines Auftraggebers führt. Zusammen mit einer Englischlehrerin, einem Straßenkind und einem Snooker-Spieler gründet er eine ungewöhnliche Detektei.

Sam Turner, seit elf Monaten trocken und Privatdetektiv, steht in seinem dritten Fall vor der Herausforderung, die Bodybuilder Ben und Gog zu stoppen, die Kinder entführen. Bei der Suche nach dem Jungen Andrew muss Sam einige Rückschläge hinnehmen und trifft auf die Mafia, die für unerwartete Wendungen sorgt.

Author and founder John Baker tells the story of how Celebrate Recovery became one of the largest Christ-centered recovery programs in history. Baker will help you discover how God's love, truth, grace, and forgiveness can heal your hurts, hang-ups, and habits.

Drawn from the Beatitudes, Celebrate Recovery helps people resolve painful problems in the context of the church as a whole. Rather than setting up an isolated recovery community, it helps participants and their churches come together and discover new levels of care, acceptance, trust, and grace.

We used to drink too much. And our hearts changed, and then we quit. That is a tried-and-true formula. The problem is government is not good at changing hearts. But people like John Baker have been good about it and successful doing that.” —President George W.
