BARONESS COX OF QUEENSBURY was appointed a Life Peer in 1982. A former deputy speaker of the House of Lords, she is a tireless advocate for international human rights. She visits the most forgotten people in the world - often in highly dangerous conditions - to carry their stories of abuse and persecution back to the West. She has risked her life many times while taking aid to war victims in Armenia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan and South Sudan, and Syria. Honorary Vice President of the Royal College of Nursing, Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, recipient of the Wilberforce Award and of the Commander Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland, she has also received honorary degrees from universities on three continents. Her motivation is profoundly Christian: "Faith without deeds is dead; love without action is dead." This new edition has been revised throughout to bring Baroness Cox's remarkable story up to date.

Doing Time offers encouragement and advice on how to survive and even make the most of life inside prison.

Ever since Jesus was crucified, the cross has both united and divided people. How could a brutal Roman method of execution become the defining symbol of a world religion? Across two thousand years of art and culture, people have debated these questions and their answers are vividly seen in ways as varied as paintings, carvings, architecture, political symbols, military medals, tattoos and jewellery. From Jesus wearing trousers on Viking crucifixes, to modern representations of the crucified as an Indian untouchable; from early medieval jewelled crosses from which Jesus serenely reigns, to later paintings which graphically portray his suffering; from the cross portrayed in industrial landscapes, to modern high-end jewellery, the cross has been seizing attention and stimulating thought for centuries. The cross of Christ is a symbol which has exploded beyond the church and is now a world-wide phenomenon. In this book, Esther and Martyn Whittock explore (with the aid of striking visual images) how the cross has been explained, interpreted, used, and at times abused, over two thousand years.

The living world is beautiful, intricate, and highly ordered. Organisms flourish across virtually every location on earth, and biological scientists are constantly discovering more about them. These findings spark awe in those who study the natural world, and also raise questions about the meaning of what we see: What's so special about life? Why are we here? Where is it all heading? Drawing on the thoughts of six scientists of faith, the work of the theologian Alister McGrath, and the biblical scholar Hilary Marlow, Dr Ruth M. Bancewicz examines their research to assess the claim that the discoveries of science are consistent with the existence of a God. Beautifully and creatively illustrated, Wonders of the Living World will inspire curiosity and amazement, and prove a fascinating guide to your thinking about the meaning of life.

The march towards the end of the year sees HOPE HALL once again buzzing with activity. The lead up to the Harvest Festival sees a cheeky dog causing a nuisance, and tensions rising between two old schoolmates. The drama only increases as Christmas approaches, and the panto rehearsals featuring the aptly-named "Can't Sing Singers" get into full swing. But the hustle and bustle of the drama in the community stems from deeper personal stories. Loneliness, loss, and hurt impact the lives of many of the local residents. But where there is community, there is friendship, companionship, love, and most of all, hope. This wonderful finale to the series (which includes the sound of wedding bells!) is full of friends and neighbours with stories that will have you giggling one minute, and dabbing your eyes the next. Christmas at Hope Hall is the final book in a delightful trilogy centred on a Victorian memorial hall, the like of which can be found at the heart of so many towns across England.
