A geologist discovers a three-minute video recorded by his wife before she died. A tree lopper's heart falls in a forest. A working mum contemplates taking photographs of her late husband down from her fridge. A girl writes a last letter to the man she loves most, then sets it on fire. A palliative care nurse helps a dying woman converse with the angel at the end of her bed. A renowned 100-year-old scientist ponders the one great earthly puzzle he was never able to solve: 'What is love?'
Endless stories. Human stories. Love stories.
Inspired by a personal moment of profound love and generosity, Trent Dalton, bestselling author and one of Australia's finest journalists, spent two months in 2021 speaking to people from all walks of life, asking them one simple and direct question: 'Can you please tell me a love story?'

A heartfelt, deep, wise and tingly tribute to the greatest thing we will never understand and the only thing we will ever really need: love.

Kathie Lee Gifford, Rabbi Jason...

Waiting on God and trusting him in the process is one of the hardest things for any believer.
In this six-session audio Bible study, the authors of The Rock, The Road, and the Rabbi Kathie Lee Gifford and Rabbi Jason Sobel will take you back to the Holy Land where God made his covenant with people like Abraham, Sarah, Moses, Joshua, and Mary. You'll study their stories and how God delivered on the promises he made to each of them.
Throughout Scripture, we see God weaving his plan through the lives of people who had to step out in faith long before they understood what their Creator was up to. Their questions then are ours today: How can we learn to trust in God's timing and God's methods?
The God of the How and When (part 1 of The God of the Way Study Series) will show you how God is still building his Kingdom through the lives of the followers of Jesus—and how you're a part of this amazing story.

The True History of Merlin the...

Anne Lawrence-Mathers

A medieval historian examines what we really know about the man who was "Merlin the Magician" and his impact on Britain. 
 
 
 
The historical Merlin was no rough magician: he was a learned figure from the cutting edge of medieval science and adept in astrology, cosmology, prophecy, and natural magic, as well as being a seer and a proto-alchemist. His powers were convincingly real—and useful, for they helped to add credibility to the "long-lost" history of Britain which first revealed them to a European public. Merlin's prophecies reassuringly foretold Britain's path, establishing an ancient ancestral line and linking biblical prophecy with more recent times. Merlin helped to put British history into world history. 
 
 
 
Anne Lawrence-Mathers also explores the meaning of Merlin's magic across the centuries, arguing that he embodied ancient Christian and pagan magical traditions, recreated for a medieval court and shaped to fit a new moral framework. Linking Merlin's reality and power with the culture of the Middle Ages, this remarkable book reveals the true impact of the most famous magician of all time.
