  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).

  KARMA - Seeds and Fruits of Action

  • 0

  Karma has a cosmic as well as psychological aspect. Every deed must produce its natural effect in the world; at the same time it leaves an impression on or forms a tendency (samskara) in our mind, which inclines us to repeat the deed we have once done.All deeds have fruits in the world and effects on the mind. For an individual, the impact of karma at a gross level is manifested in the physical world and at the subtle level in the mental world, influencing a person’s psyche as well.All the forces of nature whether physical or mental obey the law of cause and effect. No event can occur without having a definite cause behind it.Every effect must have a cause, every consequence must have an antecedent, so also there must be equal balance between a cause and its effect.Every action you perform is like planting a seed. The life you experience tomorrow grows from the seeds you plant today.

  Nautch Boy - A Memoir of My Life...

  The Last Courtesan was his mother's story. Nautch Boy tells his own. 
  'A one-of-a-kind book. It takes a ferocious spirit to survive the saddest alleys of the world - and an extraordinary man to narrate it. I consider this book sacred. It is consecrated with my bleeding heart.' - K.R. Meera, Author 
  'Almost a war, but with a lot of hope. Rekhabai is weak and strong, ferocious and gentle, angry and generous. Manish Gaekwad, with a style as simple as his mother's heart and as complex as her life, has compelled us to read without a break.' - Volga, Author & Activist 
  'One outstanding book, this. Take a bow.' - Anita Nair, Author 
   
  A sweet-faced, quiet boy dressed in matching pink shorts and a top poses demurely for a photograph in a kotha, holding a flower vase with plastic white daisies in it. Powdered, scented women around him sparkle and pirouette like movie stars on the silver screen. The boy looks at them in awe. Will he be able to join them in this evening of glamour and music? When will he become a nautch boy?  
  His dream is jinxed by his courtesan mother Rekhabai's ambition to secure his future away from every last thing that ties him to the kotha. But can he silence the music in his veins?  
  Sent off to a boarding school in the hills, the boy learns to balance the two worlds-he can undulate his hips to popular Hindi songs like his mother but also recite by heart the poems of Rossetti and Shelley.  
  Nautch Boy is Manish Gaekwad's account of being born and raised in a disrespected environment at odds with his privileged education. He finds his vocation as a reporter, screenwriter and a novelist, and eventually replaces that flower vase of fake white daisies with colourful stories of love, laughter and decay from the kothas.
