‘My God, I’m alive, I’m alive…’
For those who deserted from Hitler’s army, it was only the lucky
few who could utter such heartfelt words. Over 20 000 deserters and war
resisters paid the ultimate price for their act at the hands of the Nazis’
brutal war judges and executioners and thousands of others died in prison-camps
and penal battalions.
Even for the ones who escaped death, life was never the same again. Hounded
and despised by their fellow countrymen, to this day many of them live
as pariahs, scorned by a society that professes to hate the regime they
had actively opposed. Yet many of the war judges who persecuted them,
imposing unbelievably draconian sentences, thrived in post-war Germany
and beyond, honoured with monuments and accolades denied to their unfortunate
victims.
Broken Oath is the disturbing story of the courageous men – three
in particular – who refused to fight for the Third Reich. It is also
the story – even more disturbing – of an international community
that has turned its back on their integrity and anguish.

The concept of the Fall appears in the myths, traditions and religions of all countries, and has been the inspiration for some of the world's greatest writers and thinkers, from Milton and Dante to Shelley and Kierkegaard. The Fall and its consequences for the human race are defining elements in man's nature.
Anatomy of a Scandal explores this nature and
how the notions of sin and scandal have shaped it. The human animal's
disposition to err and to fall from the social and emotional heights he
so eagerly scales has, throughout history, made him the perfect tragic
hero. Using his profound knowledge of literature, psychoanalysis, religious
thought and philosophy, Hector Warnes examines this figure and questions
whether man is ultimately in charge of his own destiny, or a toy in the
hands of fate.

Logical Coincidence A True Story
Logical Coincidence charts the awesome experience
of a successful businessman who can only think and act in terms of power,
money and material goods. However, after his wife's death things happen
which radically changed his life and his way of thinking. His deceased
wife materializes in three different places in the world at the same time.
The businessman goes in search of the possible link between mind and matter.
Scientifically, by means of the Quantum Physics theory and his many contacts
with paranormally gifted people, he comes to the conclusion that matter
is made up of stored (FROZEN) thoughts, just like fossil fuel's are made
up of stored sunlight. The conclusion in this amazing story is therefore
that 'coincidence' is based on strict logic which is driven, and controlled
by the human spirit. Except for the dramatic and sometimes very emotional
passages, Logical Coincidence reads like technically well
founded fiction.

The subterranean world - mines, caves, dungeons, pits - evokes images of the earth, of dark, secret passages and the realms of the dead. Its eternal fascination for man is linked to his preoccupation with death and burial, of returning to the bowels of Mother Earth. Hector Warnes calls this 'the labyrinthic experience', and at its root is the sense of being lost, of wandering off the beaten path, a merging of dreams and reality. The labyrinth is a metaphor that points to man's limits, to 'the meanderings of his inner and outer journey' and his ultimate alienation from his fellow men. It has intrigued poets since the beginning of time and in this book, great minds from the past wander through the maze and ponder man's place in it. It is a compelling voyage.

In this book John Ivimy has collected a mass of purely objective historical evidence of Lives Relived, in the form of biographical sketches of people whose names were famous in the ancient world, and compared them with the lives and characters of people he identifies as their 'counterparts' in the modern world. The coincidences in these comparisons he claims to be so numerous, and often so improbable, as to prove that reincarnation can and does take place. The reader has to decide whether to accept that conclusion, or can he or she explain the mass of coincidences in some other way?

There is no historical record of the Trojan War. That Troy was destroyed by fire around 1200 BC has been established by archaeology, but the story of the siege belongs to Greek mythology. In this book John Ivimy has given body to the myth. Whether or not one accepts his claim to have 'remembered' those traumatic events from a former life, his story is both credible and entertaining.
