Through The Lover’s Window
The Trials and Treasures of Love and Loving
A deeply personal, deeply moving story told through clear, honest poetry, this is a very different book from Cameron. The account of one man’s passage through the end of one relationship and the beginning of another: the loving, the losing and the learning. Both raw and refined this universal tale is told with hope and insight. A high quality book for adults; 116 pages of fine words and B&W illustrations.

Witty and humorous, yet often surprisingly insightful, 26 Tales will twist your tongue, turn your brain and tweak your understanding of all things Biblical. Illustrated with lively B&W cartoons, this A5 book is an ideal resource for youth and creative ministries, and the ideal gift for wordmongers and truth hunger-ers.

Water, Wine and a Wonderful Wedding
This is the story of Jesus changing water into wine – an amazing story of a mismanaged wedding and an unexpected miracle. And it's made more amazing by the fact that nearly every word begins with the letter W! A quality hard-back, 34 page, full-colour children's book.

The Story of The Star, The Stable and The Saviour
This is the Christmas story superbly retold using virtually nothing but S words. Cameron's way with words is extraordinary, but not as extraordinary as the story itself – God coming to the earth as a baby, born in a smelly little stable. A quality hard-back, 34 page, full-colour children's book.

The Theologast
Profound Wonderings on The Sacred, The Self and The Seemingly Certain
This is a ‘book of questions’ dressed in a spiral-bound, A-frame, table-top unit. You can choose your favourite piece and display it for all to see. It contains questions that a child would ask, an adult wouldn't dare ask, and that a childish adult wouldn't know not to ask. Both concise and wordy, profound and absurd-y, this is a book of answers wrapped up in question marks.
