Just a quick note to let you know about a couple of e-books I have just had published. “The Great Evangelical Disaster Revisited” and “Power Politics: The Inside Track on Energy (the world’s most important resource)” are both available - at ridiculously low prices!! - from all e-bookstores.

Anyone who loves talk radio will love this book.”
