Produktbeschreibung
London 1982 and the revolution foreseen by the generation of '68 has still not come about. Instead, a Conservative government led by Margaret Thatcher is in power, basking in glory after the Falklands War. But the rank and file fight on, amongst them 'floating socialist' Simon Hayes and Trotskyist revolutionary Tony Maloney. Active in their union, they battle against management, union bureaucrats, other left wing groups and the government. And both are involved in personal relationships which complicate their lives further during the winter and spring of 1983 as a general election draws near. With empathy and humour, Downturn portrays the lives of far-left activists in ongoing day-to-day struggle.
Autorenporträt
Tom Anderson has learned to read the Scriptures with both his eyes and his heart, discovering his own story within the Bible's narratives. His faith, rooted in the joyful, purposeful, and inclusive relationship of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, shapes his life and perspective. Though not a formal theologian, Tom's profound engagement with Scripture, as God's living Word, inspires those who yearn for a deeper connection with God.Tom's recent book emerges from his personal journey, moving from feelings of uncertainty and insignificance to a wholeness grounded in his identity as a beloved son of God. This revelation has reshaped his understanding of faith, guiding him beyond authoritative doctrine-while still honoring it-toward a vibrant, lived experience rooted in the love and grace of God.In his writing, Tom conversationally weaves these insights, consistently anchoring them in Scripture. His books offer a path to healing and spiritual renewal, inviting readers to encounter a God more wonderful than they could imagine and to see themselves in the story of grace and redemption.Married to Nancy for over 50 years, Tom and his wife have a son, a daughter, and six grandchildren who still like them. Over the years, Tom and Nancy have been into collecting, and what they have collected are friends. And, for them, there has been no better pursuit or investment.
