However, there is still more to be discovered - much that is shrouded in mystery and that has been kept secret.

Join author Paul Chrystal on an exciting and dramatic journey through the cobbled streets of this picturesque city as he exposes and unravels some of the more arcane aspects of York's chequered past.

Apple's must-have products add up to one giant success story. So what's their secret? What makes Apple the most innovative company on the planet?

Apple combines traditional business thinking with the endless opportunities of the digital age.

(short and sweet, just how Apple would do a book) brilliantly and concisely reveals how you can learn from Apple to develop compelling business ideas and market them successfully.

I met El Roi after I got divorced just before I got saved. I was divorced for about three months and living alone in Johannesburg with the rest of my family back in Cape Town. Suddenly I felt exposed and left at the mercy of a big city. I was financially, emotionally and spiritually unfit to be on my own. My spirit started yearning for what I could not even verbalise myself but I needed something. I needed to be rescued, reassured and affirmed. I have never felt so vulnerable in my life like I did during this period. I was completely alone and had no idea how to be. But El Roi the God Who Sees showed up and brought me into His Kingdom and claimed me back as His own and I am eternally grateful. He has changed my life. In this book I look at Him being El Roi, The God Who Sees, The God Who Sees in secret, The God Who Sees the suffering of His people and the God Who Sees the giants in us no matter how the world seeks to define us by our failures and mistakes.
