Living for Christ Invest Your Future Paul Mallard

The Air We Breathe Glen Scrivener

Making big decisions SAVE £2 can be desperately difficult. Often we end up paralysed with indecision, afraid that making the wrong choice. If you have ever questioned how to make good decisions, or find yourself worrying and second-guessing your choices, this is the book for you.

Compassionate and grounded, Invest Your Future will leave you more confident in your own and in God’s wisdom, so that you can make sure-footed, stress-free choices in the future.

Is Christianity history?

Or is Christian history the deepest explanation of the modern world? In this fascinating book, Glen Scrivener takes readers on a journey to discover how the teachings of Jesus SAVE £2 not only turned the ancient world upside down, but continue to underpin the way we think of life, worth, and meaning. Far from being a relic from the past, the distinctive ideas of Christianity, such as freedom, kindness, progress and equality, are a crucial part of the air that we breathe.

ANDY CROUCH ASKS SOME BIG QUESTIONS

Our greatest need is to be recognised – to be seen, loved, and embedded in rich relationships with the people around us. But for the last century, we’ve displaced that need with the ease of technology. We’ve dreamed of power that doesn’t require relationship and abundance that doesn’t require dependence.

Yet even before a pandemic disrupted that quest, we felt threatened and strangely out of place. In The Life We’re Looking For, Andy Crouch shows us the way out of our impersonal world, into a world where knowing and being known is the heartbeat of our days, our households, and our economies.

Where our human vulnerabilities are seen not as something to be escaped but the actual key to becoming who were made to be together. Where technology serves us rather than masters us – and helps us become more human, not less.

Summer reading – inspirational biography & fiction God’s Secret Listener John Butterworth

You Are Free Hope Virgo

Berti Dosti faced a terrible but intriguing dilemma. He was an Albanian army captain and his job as a radio specialist SAVE £2 was to listen into the world’s airwaves ...

£5.99

This is the story of Berti’s journey from Captain Dosti to Pastor Dosti. It’s the story of the explosive growth of the early Albanian church after nearly half a decade of repressive atheism.

In You Are Free awardwinning campaigner Hope Virgo opens up about her own journey with mental health and illness. With powerful honesty, she relates her experiences from being sexually abused in her SAVE £2 youth group when she was just 13 and admitted to a mental health hospital with a failing heart at 17, to feeling like she was ready to end it all at 28 – when a new hope found her after a stranger told her about Jesus.

£7.99

Raw and relatable, this is more than a memoir, as Hope draws on her own story to offer advice and guidance to those living and struggling with their own mental health and wellbeing.

WHEN MARCY GREGG AWOKE FROM A COMA, 13 YEARS HAD VANISHED FROM HER MEMORY Terrified and confused, Marcy did the only thing she could think of: she faked it.

She told the doctors she was starting to remember and bluffed her way through visits from friends and family. Against all odds, it worked: she was released to a home, family, and life she should have known intimately – but seemed to be a stranger’s. How was she going to pull off the biggest acting challenge imaginable – and would her memories ever return?

Ghost Boy meets What Alice Forgot in this amazing true story of a woman who lost herself and tried to fight her way back on her own—but who found unexpected beauty in hope, faith, and second chances.
