'I was warned by all those who knew me that to take on a project like this was madness.'At the peak of her fast-paced career, presenter and interviewer Selina Scott bought a house in the Tramuntana hills of Mallorca. It was a dilapidated old farmhouse without even mains electricity or water, but she had fallen in love with the beauty and peace of the surroundings, and the promise of an escape from her high-pressured job and unwelcome tabloid attention.Selina begins to settle into Mediterranean life and spends time renovating the house. However, she soon realises that making the old house her home is going to be more difficult than she thought. From the unwelcome wildlife that insists on sharing her house, to dubious building work, locals both friendly and hostile, and a forest fire that threatens the whole valley, Selina's new life is full of unexpected challenges. In this funny, elegantly written account of her Spanish years Selina tells us about the house that captured her heart, the neighbours that became friends, and those that didn't, the hills and wildlife that enchanted her, the building work that nearly broke her and, crucially, the dog that found her, and changed every single one of her best laid plans!An uplifting story of escape, change and friendship.'A terrific read, beautifully written' Richard Madeley

In a world where Christians face increasing hostility and confusion, Peter's letters offer a roadmap for living faithfully as "chosen exiles." Peter himself discovered that proximity to Jesus changes everything, transforming an impulsive fisherman into a devoted apostle whose words still guide us today. This study explores how our identity as God's people gives us living hope that transforms everything, including how we suffer, how we relate to others, and how we stand firm against false teaching. Peter shows us that following Jesus isn't about avoiding difficulty but finding purpose in it. Through 1 Peter, discover how to live beautiful lives that shine light in dark places, respond to persecution with joy, and maintain humble strength under pressure. Through 2 Peter, learn to grow in spiritual maturity while guarding against deception. These aren't letters about surviving as Christians; they're about thriving as citizens of heaven living temporarily on earth, equipped with everything needed for life and godliness.This study guide includes:Individual access to streaming video sessionsVideo notes and a comprehensive structure for group discussion timePersonal study of Scripture and contextScripture memory cards and coloring pagesA guide to best practices for leading a groupStreaming video access included.

From the author of Swimming Home, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize ____________________'A postmodern tragicomedy of childhood, original as always' - Michele Roberts, Independent on Sunday Books of the Year'It's profoundly serious, combining massive abstractions - love, desire, the universality of pain - with the diminutive in a way that's often witty, sometimes lyrical and, amazingly, very rarely trivialising' - Guardian'Sharp, savage and spry, Levy shows us what kinship is really about in this strange, touching and totally original novel' - Darian Leader____________________In the Freezerworld toy section, all the girl princess dolls stand proud in their tiny gold shoes. Big hair and luned-out stares. Girl says, listen, one day I will have a kingdom too.Billy and his sister, Girl, are clever, stylish and damaged. They live somewhere in England and are searching for their missing mother. They think she might be lurking in Freezerworld, a mega superstore on the edge of a motorway. Yet it is a young woman stocking the shelves in this 'frozen world' who attracts their attention. Girl, who wants a proper name, feels a special bond with her as she gazes at the name tag on her uniform. Will she lead them to their mother?

A Wall Street Journal Bestseller! A charming memoir set in rural Brittany, from the author of I'll Never be French (no matter what I do) and I'm Finally, Finally FrenchEvery year upon arriving in Plobien, the small Breton town where he spends his summers, American writer Mark Greenside picks back up where he left off with his faux-pas–filled Francophile life. Mellowed and humbled, but not daunted (OK, slightly daunted), he faces imminent concerns: What does he cook for a French person? Who has the right-of-way when entering or exiting a roundabout? Where does he pay for a parking ticket? And most dauntingly of all, when can he touch the tomatoes?Despite two decades that have passed since Greenside’s snap decision to buy a house in Brittany and begin a bi-continental life, the quirks of French living still manage to confound him. Continuing the journey begun in his 2009 memoir about beginning life in France, (Not Quite) Mastering the Art of French Living details Greenside’s daily adventures in his adopted French home, where the simplest tasks are never straightforward but always end in a great story. Through some hits and lots of misses, he learns the rules of engagement, how to get what he needs—which is not necessarily what he thinks he wants—and how to be grateful and thankful when (especially when) he fails, which is more often than he can believe.“This is my world, the Old World that is constantly new to me. I’ve been coming to France—Brittany—for more than twenty years now, and I’m still trying to master the art of French living. For a guy who likes to think he knows what he’s doing, it’s been an unexpectedly bumpy ride.”Experienced Francophiles and armchair travelers alike will delight in Greenside’s exploring the practical and philosophical questions of French life, vividly brought to life by his humor and affection for his community.
