"The Way We Were" is a book about the theological dimensions of the controversy which shook the foundations of the Southern Baptist Convention during the decades of the 80s and 90s. That controversy began at the national level, far from most Baptist laypeople, trickled down to the state Baptist conventions, where it included a much broader audience, and now has moved into local churches where the pain, in some ways, is more sever than it was at either the national or state levels. This revision of the 1994 book could not have come at a more appropriate time for many Baptist churches. It ought to be required reading for every pulpit search committee. . . . I sincerely wish that some rich brothers or sisters, fundamentalist or moderate, conservative or liberal, would come forth today and pay to have "The Way We Were" sent to every Baptist in America. --Walter B. Shurden from the Foreword

In 1970 I sailed as a Ten Pound Pom from Southampton to Sydney, Australia.I was keen on the idea of working overseas and was determined to make things happen. At the time there were lots of opportunities overseas. Newspapers carried adverts for overseas jobs like Hong Kong Police or British Antarctic Expedition. Also the Commonwealth countries – Canada, Rhodesia, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand always wanted new people and tempted people with adverts for the chance of a new life.So I decided to apply for them all and the first to accept me I would go. I was not really fussy – they were all unknown but abroad and that was all that mattered. I was 27, single and no ties. I had no real trade and came from an office background. Australia was the first to reply and accept me, so that's where I went.The only stipulation was you had to stay for two years to take advantage of the ten pound fare. Should you return before then you had to refund the fare – not the ten pounds fare but the full unassisted fare - and of course pay your own fare back. For ten pounds you could choose between a flight or a sea passage. The Australian Government also threw in a week's stay in a hostel in Sydney with meal tickets. Quite a bargain. I was in my twenties, single and anxious to travel so it was an easy decision to make.This book covers the voyage, my stay in Australia – work, travel and play and also travels beyond. Realising half way around the world was not that far really and with so much more to see I made a return to the UK. From there I went to work in Germany, Saudi Arabia and Algeria. The book also includes my experiences of travelling in the USA, Canada and Mexico mainly by Greyhound buses.

The physical phenomena of the earths atmosphere are exceedingly numerous and of great importance. Nevertheless, the explanations, even of those well understood, still remain scattered through many books and numerous journals. Perhaps this is because some of the phenomena have never been explained, and others but imperfectly so, but, however that may be, it is obvious that an orderly assemblage of all those facts and theories that together might be called the Physics of the A ir would be exceedingly helpful to the student of atmospherics. An attempt to serve this useful purpose, begun in a course of lectures at theS anD iego Aviation School (R ockwell Field) in 1914, led to the production of the following chapters revised and reprinted from the Journal ofT he Franklin I nstitute, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920.
