Am I a Better Christian on...

Mark Tabb

A vulnerable look at the faith questions we are afraid to admit we have 
 
· for anyone struggling with depression, doubting God's goodness, or feeling like a misfit at church 
· permission to ask the hard questions (and the just plain weird ones) 
· deepen your relationship with God and others 
 
 
When you've done all the right things, read all the right books, and listened to all the right worship songs, yet still feel like you don't have this faith thing figured out, what do you do? It can be hard to voice the questions and doubts floating around your head and heart to others. But you're not the only one who feels that way! 
 
For anyone tired of church politics, the unspoken rules of Christian subculture, and taking themselves too seriously, Mark Tabb is your new best friend. He asks the questions you might hesitate to admit having, like 
 
· Can I call myself a Christian if I don't watch The Chosen? 
· Is God kind of mean but we're all afraid to say something? 
· If I believe God is in control, why am I upset about politics? 
· Why don't I feel it? 
· What if I'm wrong? 
· and more 
 
Not only will he explore the answers to ten specific questions, he'll show you how to get comfortable talking with others about all the weird and uncomfortable questions you have. Because figuring out life together just might be the catalyst we need to renew our faith and our hope for the future.

The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole...

Sue Townsend

The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole, 1999-2001 is the seventh book in Sue Townsend's brilliantly funny Adrian Mole series. 
 
Monday January 3, 2000 
 
So how do I greet the New Millennium? In despair. I'm a single parent, I live with my mother . . . I have a bald spot the size of a jaffa cake on the back of my head . . . I can't go on like this, drifting into early middle-age. I need a Life Plan . . . 
 
The 'same age as Jesus when he died', Adrian Mole has become a martyr: a single-father bringing up two young boys in an uncaring world. With the ever-unattainable Pandora pursuing her ambition to become Labour's first female PM; his over-achieving half-brother Brett sponging off him; and literary success ever-elusive, Adrian tries to make ends meet and find a purpose. 
 
But little does he realise that his own modest life is about to come to the attention of those charged with policing The War Against Terror . . . 
 
'An achingly funny anti-hero' DAILY MAIL 
 
'One of the great comic creations of our time. Almost every page of his diaries bring a smile to the face' SCOTSMAN

The Ex in Xmas

Robin Knight

BENJI 
 
 
 
Bastian Cole. He's the ex who broke my heart, the man who up and left without an explanation or so much as a goodbye, just a note saying he was sorry. Yep, in one fell swoop he crushed any joy I had in my soul, ruined my faith in true love, and destroyed the dream we shared of running our very own BnB in Mulligan's Mill. 
 
 
 
That was three years ago, but those shattered dreams are about to turn into my worst nightmare. For not only have my parents stayed in contact with Bastian all this time. To my utter dismay and anger, I now find out they've invited him to spend Christmas with us in Mulligan's Mill. Meanwhile, I seem doomed to spend the worst Christmas of my life with not only my dysfunctional family . . . but the man I never stopped loving. 
 
 
 
BASTIAN 
 
 
 
When Lonnie and Ronnie invited me to spend Christmas with them in Mulligan's Mill, the idea terrified me. I knew what Benji thought of me, and who could blame him? I had my reasons, but would Benji ever understand . . . 
 
 
 
I might be wishing for a Christmas miracle, but maybe, just maybe, Benji and I could reignite the love, the dream, the future we once had. If we can just survive Christmas at the Larsons first.
