Laurie Sones
Biography
Laurie Sones was born in Essex, UK in 1950. His Christian upbringing coupled with a love of music led him to become a leading church choirboy. But this spiritual side was brought into sharp question when his mother, so much the driving force in his life, died before he had yet reached 18 years old.
Laurie began his quest for wider philosophical and spiritual answers to the meaning of his life and life in general. Despite all the study and note-taking there was always a reluctance to attempt to put discoveries into bookform. It was a BBC report of a multiple rape of a 6-year-old girl in the Bosnian war that finally galvanised things. A deep emotional reaction unleashed the drive to try to tackle, on paper, the big questions the individual asks himself, this shocking violation used as the backdrop. (“If such a terrible event can be rationalised philosophically then so surely can all things”).
His first work, A Pocketful of Reasoning, illustrates not just depth and breadth of study but a capacity for practical suggestions the individual could follow. It represents over 40 years of ongoing experience, work and deliberation with the subject matter.
The Principle of Gift, his second work, majors on creativity and the application of its fundamental principles for use in the lives of ordinary people. It also serves as a much shortened and simplified version of its predecessor with some common usage of material.
Three more books are already in various stages of development. The idea is to produce a series of concise works (2/3 hour reads) under the broad umbrella of 'Realign Your Thinking, Realign Your Life'.
'Healing You: The New Keys' on the subject of self-healing is set to be the next publication.
The author welcomes contact from readers. (“There is always more for each of us to learn. The journey is never complete”).
Laurie Sones is a qualified advanced hypnotherapist.

This short work redefines the term 'self-healing'. It sweeps away old misconceptions that self-healing is all-spiritual, that it operates against modern medical practices, and that it is nothing more than a futile mind game.
The true model of self-healing established here is one of practical understanding and practical action for those in need. Self-healing is real, is critical, and it works!

Published on September 24, 2010. Nonfiction.
Behind a simple title lies a very challenging work for any reader ready to take on its rigours. Who am I? How do I connect with the universe? Are there any rules? Pocketful confronts these issues head-on without dogma. In a world already questioning the wisdom of its conventional religions the ordinary man has often been left to search elsewhere for moral guidance. Pocketful seeks to fill the void

Creative, all-encompassing and HONEST. This book opened my eyes wide. Mark Coker is not only thoughtful and hard-working but not above accepting new ideas from others for something that is already a very fine product. All authors should read both this and his Marketing Guide, which itself took me down avenues I really would never have thought of. Thanks Mark, and congratulations on a job well done.
