In his new book for Bradt, Walking the Wharfe, Ellison retraces the steps of Victorian author Edmund Bogg to investigate how the riverscape and its communities have evolved during the intervening 120 years.

Allah, the best of creators (Paperback)Allah, the best of Creators The author is an elder and teacher in an Evangelical Church in Noord-Holland in the Netherlands. He has written several books concerning pastorate, spiritual warfare, the end times, the battle in your mind, the Marian dogmas, predestination, birth-sin, Israel, the Church, and Islam.

Allah says that he signed the Sinai covenant with Israel, but he doesn't know the Ten Commandments (Decalogue) of that covenant. The Quran tells us that it was Allah, who would have given Jesus the Gospel, but Allah is not familiar with the Gospel... The history of the birth of Jesus has become a strange and shadowy story in the Quran. Allah denies that Jesus is his son. And the reason is that he has no consort. Therein lies the proof that Allah is not God, because God has the ability to father a son16,-
