  In this encouraging book, Pope Francis explores the meaning of true joy and offers an inspiring message: even in dark times, the light of hope can shine bright.   The past few years have been extremely challenging, but even in dark times, the light of joy can shine bright.   True joy, says Pope Francis, is not a fleeting sentiment or a short-term solution to suffering; it springs from a solid hope that nothing and no one can take away.   A Gift of Joy and Hope is an invitation to embrace authentic beauty and a reminder to be open to encountering God, even in the midst of challenges. In this inspiring collection, Pope Francis encourages readers to change attitudes that exclude others; to reveal the deep dissatisfaction we all hide; and to overcome life’s challenges with courage and faith. He also challenges readers to hope without pessimism or doubt, to hope even in the midst of anxiety, to recognize the beauty all around us, and to let God show us how to deal with your doubts and fears.   This book aims to encourage readers to look outside themselves and believe that hope is still possible and that joy always has the last word.

  My plan was simple. Serve a full-time mission. Graduate from BYU. Get married. Stick it out till death. 
  That’s not what happened. 
  I began school at BYU, hoping to strengthen my faith while I searched for love. That's when I met both Claire and Easton. 
  Claire was the girlfriend who offered a chance at eternal marriage but at the cost of my faith. Easton was the boy who promised a fresh perspective on life but at the risk to my schooling. I knew who I wanted, and who I was supposed to want. 
  Despite fearing I was gay, a faithful life was my only goal. But Bishop Stoll loomed over me with the power to remove me from BYU, making suicide an ever-more attractive escape. 
  I had embarked on an honest search for answers, but the fallout of my actions threatened to take away much more than my education.

  Fiona Foley Provocateur provides insights into the life of one of Australia’s most influential urban Aboriginal and activist artists. From her beginnings in Hervey Bay, Queensland, it follows her young adult life in Sydney where she co-founded Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-Operative in 1986, to her rise through the art world and, most recently, into an academic life.  
  This biography reveals how Foley’s life has impacted her art, and her art on her life. It explores the artist’s familial relations, her ancestral home of K’Gari/Fraser Island, and her approach to artmaking and teaching. A provocateur, the artist’s activism is captured delicately throughout. It’s a triumph in story-telling and reveals that there is no art without life.  
  Key points: 
  . An absorbing and uplifting insight into Foley’s courage and determination in confronting racism, the weight of history and the need to forge new models. 
  . A rare account of a friendship between artist and writer, who are also Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, which takes account of the identity politics that surround such relationships with nuanced authenticity.  
  . It traverses the life of one of Australia's most important artists and documents the seismic shifts that have accompanied the decades through which her work has been made. 
  . Wonderful insights into Foley’s heritage, and the process of her provocative commission at Brisbane Magistrates Court. An important book which records the present, before is glossed or altered by future historians.

  What is it about crime that we find so fascinating, even if at the same time the details are repugnant? Why exactly do we immerse ourselves in true crime podcasts and TV shows? Has this appetite for gore shifted over the years? And what role does the crime reporter play in all of this?
  In this compelling book, Martin Brunt draws on the most shocking and harrowing stories he's covered over the past thirty years to document the life of a crime reporter and assess the public obsession with crime that his reporting caters for. He also considers the wider relationship between the press and the police, the impact of social media and the question of why some crimes are ignored while others grip the nation.
  Featuring many undisclosed details on some of the biggest cases Brunt has covered, from the 'Diamond Wheezers' to Fred and Rose West, this blend of storytelling and analysis is not only a riveting overview of the nature of crime reporting but a reflection on the purpose of the profession in the first place.
