This fascinating biography provides a detailed portrait of the high-energy, charismatic international superstar and frontman of the ever-popular band, Bon Jovi. The book charts Jon''s relationship with the other band members who have their fair share of rock and roll stories - sex, booze, burnouts, health and women problems. Although rock music is Jon Bon Jovi''s first love, he has more recently developed an interest in acting - starring in various hit TV shows such as Ally McBeal and Sex and the City and attracting critical acclaim for his role in World War II hit film, U-571. He has also scored film music, with his score for Young Guns earning him an Oscar nomination. Bestselling writer Laura Jackson explores the personality, character, drive and the determination that have taken him from playing New Jersey clubs through all the groupie excess and glamorous indulgence to where the band is today. Two new chapters in this updated edition detail his recent work for charity, his involvement in politics and football and also give an update on the band''s new albums and tours.

In this definitive biography of Brian Jones, Laura Jackson - the first to insist that Jones was murdered and the first to identify his killer - rejects the stereotype of a narcissistic rock star who was doomed to self-destruct. Instead, she spoke to the people who knew him best: his family and friends, girlfriends and confidantes, the musicians and friends who lived and worked with him right up until his death in 1969. Jones emerges as a man of immense talent, energy and humour, but crippled by insecurities and shyness - a portrayal greatly at odds with the sordid rumours that plagued him throughout his life, which continue to this day. Jackson provides new testimony on the rivalries within the Rolling Stones and the bitter final split, together with telling details from the pathology and coroner''s reports, to tell the story behind the headlines and get to the heart of the mysterious death of Brian Jones.

Selected as a Best Cookbook of the Year by The Guardian, The Independent, Stylist and Daily Mail
''Towpath is one of the reasons I live in London.'' Keira Knightley
''Dive in and cook up a Towpath feast for your friends and family.'' Fergus and Margot Henderson
Inspired recipes from the beloved East London cafe, along with stories capturing the ebb and flow of community, food, and the seasons
A lot has changed since Towpath first rolled up its shutters 10 years ago on the Regent’s Canal in Hackney and everything but the toasted cheese sandwich was cooked from home across the bridge. And a lot hasn’t. It is still as much a social experiment as a unique and beloved eatery. What happens when seasonality means you close every year in November, because England’s cold, dark winters are simply inhospitable to hospitality from a little perch beside a shallow, manmade waterway that snakes through East London? What if you don’t offer takeaway coffees in the hopes that people will decide to stay awhile and watch the coots skittering across the water? If you don’t have a phone or a website, because you’d rather people just show up like (hungry) kids at a playground? Towpath is a collection of recipes, stories and photographs capturing the vibrant cafe’s food, community and place throughout the arc of its season—beginning just before the first breath of spring, through the dog days of summer and culminating—with fireworks!—before its painted shutters are rolled down again for winter.
''The pages feel personal, with a sense of place, time and friendship that make the book feel incredibly meaningful…It is a cookbook original, charming, and tasty in equal measure.'' Foodism

Have you heard people say, “Fearing God doesn’t mean to be afraid of Him but to be in awe of Him and revere Him?” I have, too. But what if it’s more than that? And what if this fear can change our lives? We are living in dark, chaotic times where sin is raging in the world and our hearts. Even many in churches who say they love God are fighting habitual sins. What if our sin problem is a fear problem?In my grief, I searched Scripture, asking the Lord for a deeper understanding of the fear of God. He revealed a powerful point of clarification—fearing God is not only a mindset but a way of life. It’s not just how we feel or what we think about God but how we respond visibly to His glory.With Scripture as its foundation and authority, Holy Gravity explores the connection between our sanctification and the fear of God. God’s people are to be set apart; our greatest distinction from the world is our fear of God manifested in holy living. Through a relationship with Jesus Christ, God frees us from sin, maturing us by the Holy Spirit in visible ways. In this place of God-focused fear, we can offer the hope of Christ to the world and one another. I pray you will find that God intends our fear of Him to transform our lives and make us holy.“Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.”Ecclesiastes 12:13
