Julie Walters

Julie Walters has been described as the nation's most popular actress and comedienne. She has been delighting us on screen and on stage for over 25 years and we have taken her to our hearts. Now she tells us her own story, in her own words. She was born in fifties Birmingham, daughter of an austere Irish Catholic mother. She was sent to school in a convent and from a young age always wanted to be an actress but to appease her mother she first went into nursing. This didn't last for long though and she soon went to join the Everyman Theatre in Liverpool. West End success followed, and she quickly replicated her success on film, earning an Academy Award nomination for her role opposite Michael Caine in Educating Rita. Julie's collaborations with her close friend Victoria Wood have given us, among others, the unforgettable character 'Mrs Overall' in Acorn Antiques and Petula in 'dinnerladies', and she's recently charmed a new generation of fans playing Mrs Weasley in the Harry Potter films and alongside Meryl Streep in 'Mamma Mia!', as well as co-starring with Helen Mirren in Calendar Girls. The winner of countless awards, Julie has continued to be in some of Britain's best TV drama and was awarded a CBE for her services to the theatre. A natural writer with an instinctive sense of timing, Julie's memoirs are warm, moving, painfully felt, fiercely intelligent - and totally entertaining.

Actress and comedienne Julie Walters shares her diary from the time she hung up her Dutch cap to the moment tiny feet pattered. She describes how her lunchtime lasagne landed on a passing Ford Fiesta, the near disaster of filming minus support bra and the story behind the stain on a friend's sofa.

I Wonder--Could God be like a rock?--or like a light?--or like the wind? It isn't easy for a child to understand the nature of a complex God. But through His creation, the invisible God makes Himself known. Boys and girls can begin to understand the mystery of God by looking at the wonderful world He made. Rock, light, and wind reveal amazing secrets about who God is. These three parables will open young minds and help boys and girls make their own first discoveries about God's rocklike steadfastness and faithfulness, the light of His love in Jesus, and the windlike power of His Spirit.
