  Mary Cholmondeley was born in Hodnet near Market Drayton in Shropshire on June 8th 1859, the third of eight children. Her father was appointed rector in 1874 in succession to his father. Much of the first 30 years of her life was taken up with helping her sickly mother run the household and her father with parish work, and she herself suffered with asthma. 
    
  Mary began writing with in her teens. She wrote in her journal in 1877, "What a pleasure and interest it would be to me in life to write books. I must strike out a line of some kind, and if I do not marry (for at best that is hardly likely, as I possess neither beauty nor charms) I should want some definite occupation, besides the home duties." 
    
  Mary began by publishing some stories in The Graphic and her first novel ‘The Danvers Jewels’ a detective story followed in 1887. It was followed by Sir Charles Danvers (1889), Diana Tempest (1893). 
    
  After her father retired in 1896, she moved with him and her sister Diana to Condover Hall before selling it to move to Albert Gate Mansions in Knightsbridge, London. 
    
  Mary wrote the best seller ‘Red Pottage’ in 1899. It satirised religious hypocrisy and the conceit of country life. It was denounced as immoral. It also explored female sexuality. 
    
  During the war she did clerical work in the Carlton House Terrace Hospital. The sisters moved in 
  1919 to 4 Argyll Road, Kensington, where Mary died, unmarried, on 15th July 1925.

  Happily Jewish blows the dust off texts formerly inaccessible to anyone but Orthodox Jews and offers a wealth of guidance about how to live a more meaningful, spiritual, and connected life. 
   
   
   
  Judaism isn't just a set of religious laws and principles. It's a way of thinking about the meaning of life. You'll find men and women sharing the wisdom of the ages, and often their ideas were extremely controversial at the time they first wrote them. Some were so controversial that their authors were exiled or even excommunicated. Now, they're all here in one fun and accessible volume that will give you a new outlook on life—a new level of happiness and joy. 
   
   
   
  This book contains twenty sets of explosive, life-changing ideas and philosophies about how to maximize your happiness, joy, and how you find meaning in life. If you're Jewish, these ideas (traditionally known only to those in the Orthodox world) are your heritage. They already belong to you. It's time to "take delivery" of what's already yours and learn the secrets of Jewish wisdom, character, and yes, survival. These concepts go back to the very creation of the Torah and relate to everything from being the best possible person we can be to understanding Jewish concepts of sex and intimacy. It's all here—waiting to be unpacked and put to use—in author Michael Levin's Happily Jewish.

  Holy Runaways - Rediscovering...

  In the past decade, church attendance among US adults has decreased by more than 25 percent. Americans report leaving religious communities because of the institutions' hypocrisy and resistance to change or because of trauma they have experienced in those spaces. Instead of safe havens for people of faith, many churches have become sites of harm—places people feel the need to escape at all costs. 
   
   
   
  In Holy Runaways, psychotherapist Matthias Roberts reaches out to those who, like him, want to understand the religion they've run from and erect a new faith on firmer foundations. He concludes that the best blueprint for a new spiritual home requires reimagining ourselves, God, and our very definition of faith. 
   
   
   
  Roberts blends deeply personal stories, new interpretations of familiar Christian parables, and recent scholarship about the dynamics of trauma to offer a way forward—and a warm, helpful companion—for listeners on their own journeys. He calls out people who perpetuate systems of violence and oppression and suggests ways we can all contribute to a new system built on love—and a new home we can inhabit together.

  How the Church's Mission and Knowledge of God Are Intertwined
  Many Christians know they should be passionate about evangelism, but in reality they often find it daunting. In this concise version of God Shines Forth, Daniel Hames and Michael Reeves urge Christians to grow in their knowledge and enjoyment of God—as they know God more, they will be spurred on to authentic service through missions and evangelism. To illustrate how the nature of God influences evangelism and missions, Hames and Reeves address biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope. They invite readers to look to Jesus as the glory of God in the world, which is the Christian's ultimate motivation to share the love of God with others. 
  
  -  Ideal for Laypeople, Pastors, and Students: Specifically for those interested in how theology shapes mission
  -  Full Version Also Available: What Fuels the Mission of the Church? is the concise version of God Shines Forth
  -  Biblically Grounded: Teaches how biblical themes such as the glory of God, Christ's sacrifice, the fallenness of man, and the church's future hope inform evangelism and missions
