I also have a day-job - I am a lecturer in the maths department at the University of Leeds.

Downloads

Here is the sheet music, in pdf format, for a few of my songs. Please feel free to download them, use them, send comments, critique.....

NB Just realised there is some kind of digital noise on some of these mp3s, esp, Angels' harmony and All the world.... will try to track down the source. Well, you'll still get an idea of the songs.

Tiny Child in Bethlehem: Christmas song!

Bible study
Last autumn, I tried writing a set of bible studies, covering (in a broad brush way) the "whole of the bible" in seven studies. Take a look here, if you're interested.

I have the prodigal son one but haven't started it yet, he's written two others that seem pretty hard to get hold of. Though I haven't tried amazon I must admit! I worked in Wesley Owen for a while so I use to just get them that way.

I'll have to check out the Wrights one when I get the chance, gotta get my teeth into Rob Bells new one first!

oh dear not sure where the link went... try this...

http://www.headcoverings-by-devorah.com/HebEngTaNaKh1.html

absolutely invaluable though it is pretty hard to navigate around. Also if you use E-Sword there's some fantastic bibles available for it that are in english but put in the key Hebrew phrases, sort of like the amplified version but a bit more specific although it does mean having a good Hebrew dictionary to hand.

Oh and I think you will love Through middle easter eyes. Its one of my two top books. And I love the phrase 'second only to the Bible' to which I always think without baileys book the bible only seems to actually hit about half of its potential. Anyway let me know what you think when you read it, I'd be interested to see if you agree.

Hey Daniel, yeh Gav is great to have around! We were at the same church for 3 years so the album on my homepage is a collaboration between us. Learnt a lot from him, and even though we have moved away, am hoping to still send him some lyrics to tear apart and add music to! :-)

Oh dear I am found Out !

I am actually a software engineer for embedded systems, and originally trained as an electronics engineer at Sheffield university. Had I not done electronics at university I would have done physics, so I am fascinated by anything science, especially physics, I read some, but generally have a lack of material that is not dumb downed so far as not to be interesting, or too technical and mathematical for me – I am definitely not a mathematician. I am more of an engineer than a scientist to be honest, but most people have an odd idea of engineers so in the context of what I said saying I was a scientist was probably best for most people.

Relativity and quantum mechanics - well I guess I very little grasp off – but some understanding, and a lot more than most. I am very glad I don’t have to use Schrödinger's equation now I have left university.

Having strayed into a few science issues in my post especially having said about creation in 6 days being more believable than some of relativity and quantum mechanics, I thought I would say I was a scientist at heart but also a Christian and didn’t see the conflict that so many people suggest there is. I didn’t want to divert the thread, but of course God playing dice was about quantum mechanics when the phrase was coined.

My son is hoping to go to Manchester University next year to do Physics, and I was chocked up that he said in his personal statement that I had been a big influence especially a lunch time discussion when he was small and he asked about the world being made in 6 days, as a result of the service. (Our minster at the time believed dinosaur bones were left as test to weed out people who believe Genesis(God’s word) and those who don’t. I am glad to say our new minster has a less dogmatic view.)

My son has put Leeds down as one of his choices – so don’t give him a hard time ! !

So yes you caught me out I am really a software engineer with an electronics engineering training that I still use being in the embedded market. Most of my work is for sensors and test equipment so an understanding of physics is often useful.

Regards

Eric

Hi Daniel,

I have managed to get rid of most of the points/ranking thing but not all of it. I must admit to having been very driven by the points thing. However when someone joined and shot past me the same day I was a little bit!!!!!! Well very!!!!!!!!!!! actually.

I will continue posting although probably not with the same enthusiasm. The last few days I have take one of my many ancient computers to bits and I have spent more time trying to get it back together and working than using it or any of the others.
