A book to encourage young people to look carefully at what is going on at the heart of themselves – their core inner being – to examine their hearts before God and to allow him to speak, and to change and heal them.Proverbs 4:23 says we are to pay attention to the state of our hearts above all else. If it is the most important thing, does that mean it is more important than serving God? yes. Because unless our serving comes from a heart of love for him it becomes empty deeds that mean nothing. Isn’t worship important? Yes, but our worship can only flow from hearts that have been captured by God. Isn’t it important to read our Bibles and get to know God? yes, but we go to his word not to educate ourselves about him but to know him with our whole hearts. Isn’t it important to tell our friends who don’t know Jesus about him? Yes, but if he hasn’t first captivated our hearts why would we want to?

With the heart being so important, do we understand what’s going on in there? This book seeks to illuminate, to draw us near to God and to allow him to minister to our hearts.

ALI MARTIN is part of the leadership of Soul Survivor and heads up Soul Sista for girls. She is also an assistant pastor at Soul Survivor church in Watford with responsibility for overseeing the teaching in Sunday services.

The third book in Naomi Reed’s award-winning trilogy, following on from My Seventh Monsoon and No Ordinary View.‘In Nepal, whenever the water ran out, or the electricity cuts were worse than normal, or the monsoon seemed interminably long, or the motorbike stopped, or the Maoists forced another strike, or my home-school patience ran out, I would think about Australia. I would think about our real home with hot water and electricity and cheese and lettuce and chocolate and olives and friends . . . where I would belong and be understood and known and everything would be alright again. Then, in the middle of 2006 we returned to Australia and it wasn’t like that at all. It wasn’t immediately home and I didn’t immediately feel like I belonged or that I was understood or known. And I spent years wondering why not, and getting confused by the answers.’

This is a book for anyone who has felt the pain of being in between homes or jobs or countries or roles or relationships. It’s about our deep-seated human need to belong and enjoy purpose and community. After their six years in Nepal, Naomi Reed and her husband Darren and their three sons returned from Nepal to Australia and struggled with identity and disorientation. In this, Naomi’s fifth book, she shares her story honestly and openly, allowing the narrative to lead the reader into prayer and reflection. By the end of it, you will feel a deeper and more profound understanding of what it means to belong to God and hope for heaven.

NAOMI REED is an award-winning author who grew up in Sydney and studied physiotherapy alongside her husband Darren. The family are now based in the Blue Mountains, Australia.

A book of sporting stories, all different, but each one showing how Jesus changes lives.

Every One a Winner is a collection of true stories about sportsmen and women past and present, including cricketer Henry Olonga, sports presenter Dan Walker, rugby legend Jason Robinson, and run-ner Eric Liddell. But although the contributors, famous and not so well known, are and have been involved in sports as diverse as pool, American football, fencing, tennis and hockey, each one has found something that means more to them than sport . . . a meaning and a purpose that goes beyond the track and the field.

An engaging, very real and ultimately challenging read for anyone interested in sport and the people who play it.

‘I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.’Galatians 2:20

Having God’s forgiveness is wonderful. Spending eternity with God is great. But for now, where is the abundant life Jesus promised? Why is the Christian life such a struggle? Because getting forgiven is only half of the gospel!

The rest of the gospel is not us striving on our own to be good Chris-tians, but Christ in us, living his life through us as we rest in him.
