Presenter of Channel 5''s Britain''s Great Cathedrals ''A warm and wise read for those feeling hopeful or hopeless, or somewhere in between.'' - The Rev Canon Kate Bottley We live in an age where more and more people are saying something like, ''I''m not religious, but I am spiritual''. ''Hope'' isn''t just a nice idea - it can be life-changing and at the very least, an empowering lens to navigate troubled times and transcend daily stress.Hope, alongside the idea of a higher power, can help people feel less alone and more supported, especially when the world turns on its head, which can happen at any point. It is well-known through history that during troubled waters and periods of change, whether that be a pandemic, the loss of a loved one or simply someone''s lack of purpose, people turn to religion for the answers.Reverend Pat Allerton is here to lead us through the different themes and issues of modern life, showing us that Hope is always there. He leads us though topics such as Anxiety, Acceptance, Connection, Forgiveness, Grief, Love, Togetherness, Trust and Uncertainty to prove to us that Hope is the answer even in the darkest of times.

Straight Acting - Will Tosh - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Straight Acting - Will Tosh - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

''Fluent and witty . . . confident . . . highly readable'' Kathryn Hughes, GUARDIAN ''Brilliant - so vivid and so sharp, fantastically clever and consistently fascinating'' KATHERINE RUNDELL, author of Super-Infinite Was Shakespeare gay? The answer is both simpler and more complex than you might think . . . Shakespeare''s work was profoundly influenced by the queer culture of his time - much of it totally integrated into mainstream society. From a relentless schooling in Latin and Greek homoeroticism, to a less formal education on the streets and in smoky taverns, from the gender-bending of the early comedies to the astonishingly queer literary scene that nurtured Shakespeare''s sonnets, this is a story of artistic development and of personal crisis. Straight Acting is a surprising portrait of Shakespeare''s queer lives - his own and those in his plays and poems. It is a journey back in time and through Shakespeare''s England, revealing a culture that both endorsed and supressed same-sex desire. It is a call to stop making Shakespeare act straight and to recognise how queerness powerfully shaped the life and career of the world''s most famous playwright. ''Magisterial and saucy . . . This fresh account kickstarts the queer canon of English literature: Shakespeare won''t go back in the closet again'' EMMA SMITH, author of This Is Shakespeare ''Engrossing, enlightening and hugely entertaining'' SARAH WATERS, author of Fingersmith

Resistance - Tori Amos - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Resistance - Tori Amos - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Since the release of her first, career-defining solo album Little Earthquakes , Tori Amos has been one of the music industry''s most enduring and ingenious artists. From her unnerving depiction of sexual assault in "Me and a Gun" to her post-9/11 album Scarlet''s Walk to her latest album Native Invader , her work has never shied away from intermingling the personal with the political. Amos began playing piano as a teenager for the politically powerful at hotel bars in Washington, D.C., during the formative years of the post-Goldwater and then Koch-led Libertarian and Reaganite movements. The story continues to her time as a hungry artist in L.A. to the subsequent three decades of her formidable music career. Amos explains how she managed to create meaningful, politically resonant work against patriarchal power structures and how her proud declarations of feminism and her fight for the marginalized always proved to be her guiding light. She teaches readers to engage with intention in this tumultuous global climate and speaks directly to supporters of #MeToo and #TimesUp, as well as young people fighting for their rights and visibility in the world. Filled with compassionate guidance and actionable advice-and using some of the most powerful, political songs in Amos''s canon-this book is for readers determined to steer the world back in the right direction.

The Tidal Year - Freya Bromley - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

''Immersive and compelling. I read it in a single day! Everyone should take a plunge into this book.'' CATHY RENTZENBRINK '' The Tidal Year is some of the best writing on wild swimming that I have encountered.'' MARIANNE LEVY Freya is still searching. For four years, she''s been looking for a way to fill the empty space her brother''s death left behind. Ready for another distraction, Freya decides to swim every tidal pool in Britain in a year with her friend Miri. The adventure takes them from a pool hidden in the cliffs of fishing-village Polperro to the quarry lagoon of Abereiddi via the Trinkie where locals meet each year to give the pool wall a fresh lick of paint. As Freya travels further from London, she finds herself closer to memories of her brother. With every swim, and every stranger they meet in the water, the challenge becomes more than just a way to explore the coast, but a journey of self-discovery. The Tidal Year is a true story about the healing power of wild swimming and the space it creates for reflection, rewilding, and hope. An exploration of grief in the modern age, it''s also a tale of loss, love, female rage and sisterhood.''Funny, sad and honest, but ultimately also hopeful, The Tidal Year is a wonderful and welcome addition to the growing canon of books exploring the restorative power of wild swimming.''

Balkan Glory - Julian Stockwin - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

''Balkan Glory is an epic chapter in the splendid Kydd canon, weaving knotty political gambits with stirring naval actions, expressively re-creating the often harsh reality Jack Tars witnessed within their wooden walls during the Napoleonic Wars'' - Quarterdeck 1811. The Adriatic, the ''French Lake'', is now the most valuable territory Napoleon Bonaparte possesses. Captain Sir Thomas Kydd finds his glorious return to England cut short when the Admiralty summons him to lead a squadron of frigates into these waters to cause havoc and distress to the enemy. Kydd is dubbed ''The Sea Devil'' by Bonaparte who personally appoints one of his favourites, Dubourdieu, along with a fleet that greatly outweighs the British, to rid him of this menace.At the same time, Nicholas Renzi is sent to Austria on a secret mission to sound out the devious arch-statesman, Count Metternich. His meeting reveals a deadly plan by Bonaparte that threatens the whole balance of power in Europe. The only thing that can stop it is a decisive move at sea and for this he must somehow cross the Alps to the Adriatic to contact Kydd directly.A climactic sea battle where the stakes could not be higher is inevitable. Kydd faces Dubourdieu with impossible odds stacked against him. Can he shatter Bonaparte''s dreams of breaking out of Europe and marching to the gates of India and Asia? ************************************* Readers LOVE Balkan Glory ''I can say without a doubt Balkan Glory is Stockwin''s best of the series. All these elements make it so. It''s great, involving reading (I was surprised when I reached The End!). It''s what makes for great historical fiction''''By far the best of the Kydd series. Can the next one possibly be as riveting?''''One of my must have books each year''
