From the award-wining author of The Last London and Lights Out for the Territory, a journey in the footsteps of our ancestors.

In The Gold Machine, Iain Sinclair and his daughter travel through Peru, guided by - and in reaction to - an ill-fated colonial expedition led by his great-grandfather, Arthur Sinclair. The incursions of Catholic bounty hunters and Adventist missionaries are contrasted with today's ecotourists and short-cut vision seekers. The family history of a displaced Scottish highlander fades into the brutal reality of a major land grab. The historic thirst for gold and the establishment of sprawling coffee plantations leave terrible wounds on virgin territory.

What was once portrayed as an intrepid adventure is transformed into a shocking tale of the violated rights of indigenous people, secret dealings between London finance and Peruvian government, and the collusion of the church in colonial expansion. A beautiful valley is now the property of a British corporation. In Sinclair's haunting prose, no place escapes its past, and nor can we.

Dare to believe and be encouraged.
Format: Kindle
This book has increased my faith, and I believe every word written in this book as my spirit bears witness to these writings. All I think about now is visiting heaven, and being able to speak to the saints. The word says we will do the works that Jesus did, and I use to think just about healing, but Jesus did so much more. He raised the dead, walked on water, walked through walls. It's time to think out of the box and into the supernatural.

I often wondered why God took Enoch home before his time was up here on earth. I also wondered who the two witnesses in the book of Revelation would be. I guessed correctly. This book answers those questions by the two witnesses themselves.I enjoyed reading Matthew's book and would recommend it to those who also wonder like me!

Mind-blowing and revealing! Putting the puzzle pieces together with an interview with both Enoch and Elijah to make sense out of the witnesses in Revelation.

Too "out there" for me.
Format: Kindle
Not judging, as I can only speak for myself. Just had to put it down and walk away, because it didn't ring true in my spirit.
