Our Daily Bread: From Argos to...

Father Alex Frost, Alastair...

A warmly funny, intensely moving and startlingly personal account of the lives of an urban parish priest and his parishioners.
Father Alex Frost was not always a man of the cloth. He found his calling while running an Argos store in his native Burnley, moonlighting as a stand-up comedian and die-hard fan of The Clarets and Depeche Mode.
But having achieved his profession, Fr Alex quickly recognised the 17,000 inhabitants of his new parish were in dire need of help. Burnley is typical of many towns across Britain: a place of run-down council estates, severe poverty litter, crime and drugs, but also a place where the sacred sits alongside the secular in an intimate and personal way. And so it was that he found himself running a food bank from a car park, helping the desperate amid his flock as the pandemic raged.
Fr Alex’s down-to-earth style of ministry struck a chord with people of all faiths, cultures and class at a time when the divide between rich and poor is widening cataclysmically. But amid the tragedy, addiction, appalling loss, illness and neglect, there also lies hope, joy and moments of comedy. Our Daily Bread is as much the story of the rich cast of characters that cross the threshold of any church as it is our vicar’s. Through them it shows the continued relevance of the church for those in peril: the poor and the marginalised.
This heartfelt and moving book seeks to give a voice to the voiceless, charting the tragedy and pain, humour and hope which are ever-present in his community. It is ultimately about modern poverty – and how we all can, and should, espouse Christian virtues of love, kindness, tolerance.
In Our Daily Bread, Father Alex Frost provides a raw and unfiltered look into the lives of those living on the fringes of society, their struggles with homelessness, and the power of volunteer work in alleviating their suffering. His spiritual journey, from managing an Argos store to becoming a beacon of hope for his parishioners, is a testament to the transformative power of faith and religion.
For fans of Tony Blair (A Journey), Gordon Brown (My Life, Our Times), Rory Stewart (Middleland), Kamala Harris (The Truths We Hold), and Anthony De Mello (Stop Fixing Yourself).

Ivan Pavlov - A Very Short...

Daniel P. Todes

Daniel P. Todes provides concise introduction to the life and science of the great Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936). Todes weaves together Pavlov's life, values, context, and science by focusing upon his quest to understand the psyche and the "torments of our consciousness." 
 
 
 
This introduction follows the origins and maturation of Pavlov's quest from his early life in a priestly family in provincial Riazan, to his struggles and late professional success in the glittering capital of St. Petersburg, through the cataclysmic destruction of his world during the Bolshevik seizure of power and civil war of 1917-1921, to the rebuilding of his life in his 70s as a "prosperous dissident" during the Leninist 1920s, and his success and personal torments in 1929-1936 during the industrialization, cultural revolution, and terror of Stalin times. 
 
 
 
Beyond a basic biography, Todes devotes particular attention to Pavlov's Nobel Prize-winning research on digestion (1891-1903) and his iconic studies of conditional reflexes and higher nervous activity (1903-1936), as well as his experiments with dogs. Todes shows that Pavlov was not a behaviorist, did not use a bell, and was uninterested in training dogs. The Russian scientist sought to explain not merely external behaviors, but the emotional and intellectual life of animals and humans.

Seal in the Desert - Moving Past...

Heather Fritz

When my late husband and I moved off-grid, we rented property. The previous owners had seals in the middle of the Mojave Desert. The seals clearly did not belong there. 
You may be unaware that you are stuck, when you do not know better. 
Our traumas are like building blocks that we use to create walls of a mental prison which effectively becomes the life that we know. 
Often, the walls are so very clear that even we may not notice them. But our inner voice keeps telling us that we must escape to find where we belong. 
The problem is that we don't know how to communicate it all to ourselves, let alone to our closest loved ones. 
This book is about naming, claiming, and taming that feeling of being stuck. Hopefully it will help every seal to get out of the desert and find their ideal ocean. 
Although this story is a tough one, it sheds a much needed light on emotional and mental abuse. I hope you enjoy this memoir in which healing and growing resilience triumph.
