Death, they say, is nature's way of telling you to slow down. In 2013, hallucinating wildly, I spent four weeks in a medically induced coma. Then I spent 18 months learning how to move, swallow and finally walk again. I did a lot of thinking about what really matters. Doing well in my career - did that matter? Or the people I loved and the purpose and vision that gave me life and energy? What do I want to go back to? Who do I want to be? Here's what I learnt. A couple of reviews from NetGalley: 'I just finished the book Bread by Glenn Meyers [sic] in one day. Like everyone else in the human race, I am in the midst of an existential awakening. Through the fears, doubts, pain, and damaging health implications of these times, I find the author's experiences and ultimate wisdom helpful. What I...

The Christian faith is lived out sandwiched between God’s big promises and life’s small annoyances. In this series of wry and humorous short pieces, originally magazine articles, Glenn Myers looks at: Hearing wrongly from God Shallowness, and how to get there The art of prayerlessness Learning good sense from the minds of small children The shortage of spiritual heroes The biggest failure in the Bible And much else. Romance, bad luck, bad luck in romance, finding yourself in the wrong church, child-rearing, and facing chronic illness – all can make God seem far away and the Christian faith unreal. Or they can be the stuff from which hope and character are built. Welcome to life in the sandwich.

Recovering rather unexpectedly from a four-week coma in 2013, I wrote this book as my attempt to address the big questions. Here's the blurb: It's the biggest mystery. If the Universe were a funfair -- galaxies whirling like fairground rides, streams of gas and dust strewn across the sky like bunting, people wandering through it eating hot-dogs -- where did it come from? --Who put it there? Science does a wonderful job explaining part of the story. It can get us from a few moments after the Big Bang to the bit where the hairy beings amble over the African Savannah eating soft fruit. It just can't do the beginning, or the end, or the meaning. It can't tell us why there is something, rather than nothing at all. And it can't tell us how the fruit-eating primates turned into people who hum music, write novels, invent day-time TV and...

Against all odds, Jamie Smith and Keziah Mordant, able to commute between their homes in Cambridge and the invisible worlds all around us -- this made possible by an exciting and near-fatal collision on the A428 -- have annoyed legions of spirit beings. With a mixture of high cunning, low cunning, and your basic malice, greed, and stupidy, these beings are seeking to tip Jamie and Keziah, souls and all, into the etheral sewer system, The Sump of Lost Dreams. Jamie is taking advice from his memories of an ex-girlfriend and arguing with the Personification of Divine Wisdom. On earth, Keziah is refusing to fall in love with a social entrepreneur who is tall, rich, modest and wants to change the world. So it's all going to be fine. This is the third book in a spooky celestial/earthly comedy trilogy. Paradise- a divine comedy is the first title in the...

Jamie Smith, web designer, foodie and all-round good guy, if a tad chauvinistic, and Keziah Mordant, angry, picky and gloomy defence lawyer who wears too much mascara, continue their fight with each other, with themselves, and with the spiritual metaverse, in the twin settings of Cambridge and the invisible worlds that surround us. They've been been doing this since Keziah suicidally crashed into Jamie on the A428. Guiding them into employment and usefulness on the invisible side of things are an elderly academic called Dr Corrie Bright and her friend the Prophet Jonah. Yes, that one. And it was a fish, not a whale. Paradise - a divine comedy is the first book in the trilogy, this is the second, and The Sump of Lost Dreams is the third.

So, behind our world is the real world where stuff happens. Your soul, like a garden or city, swims through it, looping round a vortex of depression, perhaps, or washed by joy or grace. It thrives or languishes. It gets injured and heals. It collides with old prejudices like hitting space rocks. You move stuff around on your soul, bury stuff, hide stuff. Your soul gets nibbled, sucked dry, harvested by spiritual beings, some good, some bad, some vain, some ambitious for fame, some stupid. We all live here, we all know this world, but we don't see it. Until, that is, we have a near-death experience, and we (for example) collide head on with angry lawyer in a Mini. Then we both get stuck in this world, and argue a lot, and can't get back. Unless we take advice from a talking snake who has issues. Paradise is about...
