There are fewer grey seals in the world than endangered African elephants, but the British Isles host almost half of this global population. Every year these charismatic animals, with their expressive eyes and whiskers more sensitive than our fingertips, haul out on our shores to breed and raise their pups.

As graceful in the sea as they might seem clumsy on land, grey seals have visited our shores and enriched our culture for centuries. Yet we still know relatively little about these captivating animals. As Susan Richardson journeys to the crags and crevices of the coast, she explores the mysteries and mythologies of seals, learning not just how they live but also how we ought to live with them.

PRAISE FOR SUSAN RICHARDSON‘Cut and precise, archaic and innovative, transcendent and in-the-moment, [Richardson] sees the life of the sea as a mirror of ourselves, and vice versa: always changing, always the same … Vital, glorious and salutary’PHILIP HOARE, AUTHOR OF LEVIATHAN‘[Richardson] writes in prehensile language, capable of grasping something vast, ancient, chthonic: the Earth in must’JAY GRIFFITHS, AUTHOR OF WILD‘Richardson beautifully marries the landscape of the polar regions with their – and her own – emotional topography’SARA WHEELERSusan Richardson has always been entranced by seals; they seem to have surfaced at key junctions throughout her life, comforting her as an anxious child, bringing joy as she began to spread her wings as a writer and helping her to find her way after the loss of her mother. Now she sets out to trace the rhythm of their lives, travelling the coasts clockwise from Cornwall to Norfolk, in line with the autumn pupping season. Along the way she explores the myths surrounding seals, from their shapeshifting selkie skins to the claims that they decimate fish populations, and she discovers that the greatest dangers they face come from co-existing with us.

Brimming with vivid descriptions of the natural world, Where the Seals Sing is a lyrical tale of memory, rescue and rehabilitation. While loss, both personal and ecological, is a recurring theme, the human–seal connection that flows through the story is stirring and uplifting.

Truly Brings the Bible to Life
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This is one of the coolest books I have ever read. As a person who loves history, this book really struck home and showed me a new way of reading the bible. It follows the bible in chronological order showing artifacts and other archeological finds that show how people, events, customs, and items from the bible were real and happening at their times. Really clear and colorful photos of these items makes them even more real. Each artifact is only a couple of pages, and have concise summaries of what they are, and why they are important. They don't get boring and drone on and on, so you learn about one and are quickly on to the next. What I most enjoyed about the book is reading about an artifact, then referencing it in the bible and reading the particular chapter it came from to get a context. It's amazing how a seemingly meaningless character mentioned once in the bible is brought straight to life from a small clay tablet with his named mentioned on it. Most importantly, it reinforced that the I should be reading the bible as the greatest history book ever written, not just a story book with some rules to follow. This book shows that the bible recorded the events that happened in history and truly makes them shine. Amazing work, Dr. Kennedy!

Makes Me Hungry for More!
Format: Kindle
I was listening to Mike Parsons teaching when Justin Paul Abraham‘s video keep showing up, intrique by his topics I listened and heard him mention his book Beyond Human, I was so drawn by his video teaching I decided to read this book and I couldnt put it down, he has a heart to believe the supernatural things mentioned in the bible can happen to us, I believe it too when I became born again in 1986, many things happened to me so supernaturally after being being again all because I believe all that bible have recorded, but not many around me believed them, they have the joy of being a believer thank you Holy Spirit, yet didnt connect the supernatural spiritual dimentions. i‘ve experienced quite a few myself and believed for more, I never knew there had been many people in the centuries past and even present days lived such close connection with God, Jusin mentioned so many of them with specific incidents of their deep connections and love with God that their lives simply demenstrated naturally supernatural with the creations, that just so resonate with my personal experiences, I was feeling quite lonely and out of place with believers around me and now I believer there are a greater community of such people way ahead of me. This book is worth the read, Justin has such a heart of honoring and believing in wisdoms and faith of many people who partner with God in manifesting His kingdom power om earth as it is in heaven. I thank you Justin for giving credit to the saints of old, I must repent for despising them when I have only heard people criticising everything Catholic were idolatry etc. but many of them have built incredible dedication of intimacy with God, I owe them and God my apolozies. I have been inspired he fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
