What women really need LESLEY RAMSAY MSRP: $12.99 ISBN: 9781904889601 Contentment, stability, love and acceptance all seem elusive, yet the writers of this book claim to know where such vital things can be found!

The heart of singleness ANDREA TREVENNA MSRP: $12.99 ISBN: 9781908762856 The world tells single women that what they need most is a guy. The church often seems to suggest that what they most need is a husband. Is it really possible to be a single Christian woman and be satisfied?

Exploring identity NAOMI SKULL MSRP: $6.99 ISBN: 9781905564286 What is identity? Where do we look for it? What does God say about it?

As we listen to what God tells us about himself and ourselves, we’ll discover the true source of our identity in the One who came to rescue us.

This gripping book gives us a sweeping overview of the Bible as it charts the different “deals” that God has made with people in Scripture and how they foreshadow the new covenant to come in Jesus.

This book was born out of the author’s own struggles with the concept of a God who punishes sin. Ben Cooper writes with empathy as well as intellectual rigour, answering questions such as: Why can’t God just “pass over” wrong-doing? How does “the God who punishes” fit with “the God who is love”? And why is the death of Jesus on a cross the ultimate expression of God’s love?
