The Lightning-Fast Field Guide to the Bible

Why are young people finding their way back to faith? 'One of those books I find myself being (excuse the pun) evangelical about, pressing it into friends' hands like a Gideon's Bible' Sunday Times 'Spellbinding . . . An incredible exploration of how young people are navigating the complex world we find ourselves in today' Katy Hessel, author of The Story of Art without Men *A TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER* *A TELEGRAPH, GQ, NEW YORKER AND PROSPECT BOOK OF THE YEAR* When several of her friends turned to faith in their twenties, Lamorna Ash sensed the beginnings of a phenomenon. In our fractured age, a new generation was rediscovering Christianity for itself. In this urgent and lyrical adventure, Ash embarks on a journey across Britain to meet the young people wrestling with faith today. Taking us from ancient abbeys to modern meeting houses, silent retreats to garrulous Bible classes, Don' t Forget We're Here Forever explores our need for community and nourishment of the soul. 'One of our most talented young writers' Telegraph 'It is not surprising that at a time like this, people should turn to older sources of meaning. Don't Forget We're Here Forever is therefore a book for our moment' Irish Times 'A rare and arresting book' New Statesman

A New Generation's Search for Religion

Don't Forget We're Here Forever

An Instant New York Times BestsellerUSA Today BestsellerBestselling author John Bevere challenges Christians to take a fresh and honest look at one of the most often misunderstood and avoided truths of the Christian faith-the second coming of Jesus. Through personal testimony, biblical accuracy, and practical guidance, readers will be inspired to live a life of spiritual vigilance as they prepare for the glorious return of our King. If Jesus were to return tomorrow, would you be ready?In The King Is Coming, John Bevere discusses why the Second Coming is both relevant and critical for the Christian faith. Other than salvation, it's the second most discussed topic both in the New Testament and by early church fathers in the first three centuries. More than a book about prophecy, this life-changing guide will help believers live fully prepared for Christ's return while transforming the way we love, serve, and glorify God. Bevere recounts his personal shift from avoiding eschatology to fully recognizing its significance. Witnessing the misuse and division caused by End Time teachings initially led him away from the topic, but through the Holy Spirit's guidance and a deeper study of Scripture, Bevere's heart and life were transformed. Through extensive references to prophetic Scriptures, the book explores many of the over three-hundred New Testament mentions of Jesus' return, providing a foundation that will help readers:Live in awe of the Creator of the universe who holds time in His hands. Grow in holiness, compassion, purpose, and gain a closer relationship with God. Live with an eternal outlook, inspiring a sense of hope, urgency, and mission. Avoid division by focusing on the transformative power of our reigning King. Discover an eschatology that replaces fear and alarmism with true hope. &nbsp;Through personal testimonies and a close examination of Scripture, John offers readers spiritual truths, insight, encouragement, and practical steps to develop a readiness shaped by faith and obedience. And as with The Awe of God, each chapter will close with his 5 P's: Passage, Point, Ponder, Prayer, and Profession. The King Is Coming is both a wake-up call, faith builder, and a source of hope for Christian men and women seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ and prepare for His glorious return.

'Brilliant and necessary.' - Cariad Lloyd 'It's now top of my recommendation list!' - Dr Jo Steer 'Empowering' - Anna Mathur 'A revelation' - Char Bailey 'Engaging... well-researched' - Dr Tony Lloyd Darkly funny, relatable and unflinchingly honest, Is it My ADHD? gives irreverent and intersectional insight into what life is like for women living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Much like the 3-4% of the British population with ADHD, Grace Timothy always felt on the outskirts of 'normal'. After a lifetime of mental and physical symptoms that didn't quite add up, she was finally diagnosed in 2021. At the time, information was scant. Now, neurodivergence is the hot topic on everyone's lips. With this increased awareness, we've encountered a new challenge: how can we circumnavigate the misinformation and better understand our own brains? Writer and podcaster Grace Timothy speaks to those living with ADHD to explore traits specific to women, grounding each chapter in clinical research and expert commentary. Offering comfort and real, tried-and-tested tips along the way, this book is for anyone who's ever wondered, is it my ADHD?

Is It My ADHD?

What if the strongest leaders aren't the loudest in the room-but the most self-aware?

Most leadership struggles don't come from a lack of skill or strategy. They come from leaders who don't know where they truly stand. When leaders rely on control, performance, or certainty instead of awareness, teams comply-but they don't commit.

In Leadership-The Paradox of Surrender, Hilda Koch challenges the traditional leadership narrative and introduces Point A-your true leadership starting place. Not the role you perform. Not the mask you wear. But the honest internal position from which your decisions, reactions, and influence actually emerge.

Drawing on real-world experiences, research-backed insights from psychology and leadership studies, and guided self-reflection exercises, Koch reveals why surrender-not control-is the foundation of trust, clarity, and sustainable influence. You'll uncover the 7 Game Faces leaders wear to protect themselves, learn why masks create compliance but never trust, and discover how disciplined vulnerability becomes a strategic leadership advantage.

This is not another leadership playbook filled with tactics to manage people. It's an invitation to stop performing and start leading. When leaders release illusion and lead from Point A, communication becomes clearer, teams feel safer, decisions require less force, and influence grows naturally.

Surrender in leadership is not weakness.
it is precision.
It is courage.
It is clarity.
If you're ready to stop managing perception and start creating alignment-
If you're ready to lead without armor-
Your journey starts here.
Find your Point A.
Own it.
Lead from it.

THE PARADOX OF SURRENDER

LEADERSHIP

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 'BEST BOOKS TO DIP INTO THIS SUMMER' 'The Bowie you thought you knew is recast completely' The Spectator 'A transfixing look at David Bowie's life through a spiritual lens... fresh and revealing' Publishers Weekly How David Bowie's search for meaning inspired him to write the music that defined a generation. In this wide-ranging biography, Peter Ormerod explores the quest for spirituality that powered David Bowie's creativity from his earliest recordings to his death-defying final album. Bowie's genre-expanding, era-crossing genius had an extraordinary impact on popular culture but his life-long search for spiritual truth and enlightenment has been overlooked. From Bowie's first musical encounters as a choirboy, this book traces his spiritual obsessions over the years. As a young musician at the start of his career, he was enraptured by Tibetan Buddhism. It was the first step in a spiritual journey that would generate his most profound lyrics and music. From the Kabbalah-influenced tracks of Station to Station to Ziggy Stardust's messiah complex and the profound affinity between Heroes and Christian thought, Ormerod sheds new light on the spiritual traditions behind Bowie's genius. Taking Bowie's spiritual explorations and faith seriously, Ormerod shows us how this quest for meaning propelled him through his darkest moments and biggest successes, lending his music a timelessness and depth that has spoken to so many people across the world. Whether experiencing a dark night of the soul in LA during his occult phase or reciting the Lord's prayer in front of thousands of concertgoers, Bowie was always searching for that universal truth that lies beyond everyday reality.
