  A wild party. A friendship. A cherished pet. And a night that changes everything.
  It's Julie's eighteenth birthday, and she's throwing a party in her father's extravagant townhouse. Her boyfriend has just dumped her and her long-suffering best friend Christine is trying to pick up the pieces. As the revellers pile into the booze, down in the kitchen Christine and her boyfriend Jon – son of Julie's cleaner – clear up and dare to dream of the future.
  But as the volume goes up and the shots go down, Julie concocts a twisted cocktail of privilege, desire and destruction.
  Laura Lomas's play The House Party spins Strindberg's classic play Miss Julie into intense, fizzing life for today's generation. It was first performed at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester, in 2024, co-produced with Headlong in association with Frantic Assembly, and directed by Holly Race Roughan.

  "All the world’s a stage"—but are the men and women merely players, or actors in a heavenly drama?  In God on Stage, renowned author and professor Peter Kreeft explores fifteen great dramas, and within them, five great themes: life, death, suffering, religion, and damnation. From classics like Oedipus the King and Hamlet to modern plays like Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons and Cormac McCarthy’s The Sunset Limited, Kreeft draws vivid lessons on the big questions we all ask ourselves.  Like the plays it takes up, God on Stage invites readers to smile and frown, ponder and fall in love, and sit back in awe and wonder—at art, God, and the art of God that is man.

  God of All Flying Things:...

  God of All Flying Things is a gentle companion for those seeking God in the midst of lives full of beauty, longing, and mystery. 
  In this intimate collection of prayers and poems, Rachel Devenish Ford writes from the quiet spaces of her devotion to Christ. These are the words of someone who has sat quietly in sorrow, who has shouted prayers into the dark, and who keeps looking for the presence of God in birdsong, breath, and daily bread. 
  Alongside her poems, Rachel shares original paintings made during times of meditation. These are visual prayers that speak of reaching, belonging, and finding a dwelling place within the soul. 
  Whether you are feeling full or empty, certain or in the whirl of mystery, this book is an invitation to connection with the Divine Presence. 
  From the Author: 
  “I want this book to be kind and fierce. I want it to breathe. I want it to be human. I want it to reflect God's goodness, warmth, and love. 
  We, looking at God, have so many voices. We reflect the brilliance of God in our cells. 
  I am one voice, one of so many. So many people, alive or long passed, have encouraged me when my heart needed it. My voice also sings, and I want to show you my songs. 
  These are the poems of my attachment, the long, wandering relationship I have had with Christ. These are the poems of my wrestling. There are so, so many poems of love. Adoration. Longing. Resilience. Wisdom. Justice. Worship. These are the prayers I needed to shout. Dear friend, these poems are for you.”

  Knock-knock! Who’s there? 
  Ultimately for all, it will be age. At first, it seems like a bad joke—needing a cane, memory loss, more care, forgetting even one’s own name. In Knock-knock, Lewis creates the persona of an older physician who should’ve known what’s in store. Sometimes the reality is grim, but there’s humor, love, and even romance in his inventive and poetic story-telling. “Lost-and-found / is not a planned / destination.” Yet we all eventually find ourselves there.

  When Silence Screams

  Olivia Shiel

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  Some stories are whispered. Hers roars from the shadows. 
  Liv has mastered the art of pretending — pretending she’s okay, pretending she’s strong, pretending she can outrun the echoes of everything she’s survived. But silence has a way of catching up. 
  From childhood scars buried beneath perfect smiles to the relationships that promised rescue but brought more ruin, Liv’s life is a tightrope walk between chaos and clarity. Each chapter unravels secrets too heavy to hold, choices too painful to forget, and a voice that’s fought too long to stay unheard. 
  But this isn’t just a story of survival. 
  It’s a mirror. A message. A map. 
  When Silence Screams doesn’t just take you through Olivia’s journey — it walks beside your own. At the end of every chapter, powerful life lessons pull back the curtain on pain, healing, faith, and freedom. For every woman who’s ever questioned her worth, every girl who’s carried what she couldn’t name, this book becomes more than a memoir — it becomes a guide to coming home to yourself. 
  This is not a story of tragedy. 
  This is a story of becoming.

  In Black Rhythms, Sacred Voices, M.A. Tucker weaves a powerful tapestry of poetry that echoes with the soul of Black history, struggle, and triumph. These verses pulse with the rhythms of survival, the melodies of resistance, and the sacred voices that refuse to be silenced. 
  From the weight of ancestry to the fire of revolution, from love's quiet sanctuary to the echoes of the unspoken, this collection captures the raw beauty and unbreakable spirit of Blackness. Each poem is a hymn to those who came before us, a reckoning with the present, and a declaration of a future where our voices rise, untamed and free. A lyrical sanctuary for those who have ever felt unseen, unheard, or unheld. 
  For the ancestors. For the dreamers. For us.
