A wonderfully evocative account of the Hebrides, drawn from the journals and memoirs of intrepid travellers and from the authors many personal journeys in these remarkable islands. His story begins in 1770, in the days of smuggling and press gangs, and ends in the summer of 1914 with the shooting lodges closing their shutters and the glittering steam yachts sailing south to become fleet auxiliaries in the First World War.

What Keeps Us from Following Jesus? Most of us have an internal list of all the things that a messiah should be and do. Most of all, we expect him to be like us. So what happens when the one who claims to be the Messiah doesn t meet our expectations? Many of the people in the gospels had a fixed set of beliefs about what the Messiah would be and do. But Jesus didn t match their expectations. He didn t keep the right company, cater to the powerful, or affirm their picture of God. In Unfollowers, Derek Cooper and Ed Cyzewski ask: What can today s followers of Jesus learn from the dropouts, detractors, and doubters in the gospels? The unfollowers map out common obstacles for Christians today, offer a fresh perspective on the disciples of Jesus, and reveal the alluring counterfeit paths that tempt followers of Jesus today.

Part guide, part gazetteer, part anthology, Cooper presents a comprehensive picture of the west coast of Scotland's magical Isle of Skye, past and present, in this new and updated edition of his classic and authoritative bestseller. He recollects the days when the sea was the great highway to Skye and the island lay at the center of the Gaelic world. St. Columba landed on it in 585. Cooper includes some forty pieces from writers, travellers, politicians, mountaineers, poets, painters, and tourists, including Samuel Johnson, James Boswell, and Sir Walter Scott.
