A Biblically grounded, six-week plan to lead you on the path toward losing weight and getting healthier by focusing on the connections between spiritual and physical health--"Seven Sundays is a powerful tool that will enlighten you to see wellness and spirituality with a fresh perspective" (Kathie Lee Gifford). In Seven Sundays, celebrity trainer and devoted follower of Christ Alec Penix explains the connection between faith and fitness, and shares both his own and his clients' success stories. When our spiritual and physical bodies are built up simultaneously, we find ourselves more likely to stick with healthier, life-changing habits, appreciate what we have, be thankful for what we've gained (and lost), and feel content with how far we've traveled. Seven Sundays is a six-week program that shows you how easy it is to undergo your own total transformation. The book is organized as a day-by-day journey in the same manner as a daily devotional. Over the course of each week, you will work on the "6 Pillars of Purpose" that build up this strength. You will also enjoy "Faith-Full" foods and explore a new spiritual theme each week. Ultimately, you'll undertake a meaningful journey that will finally connect your body and spirit. Seven Sundays is sure to "inspire people to become the best version of themselves, through strengthening their body, mind, and spirit" (Roma Downey, actress, producer, and New York Times bestselling author of Box of Butterflies). You'll learn to embrace the fact that you deserve to exercise, eat right, and be healthy, and recognize your body as a spiritual vessel.
Cooking doesn't have to be complicated - that's why Jamie's 5 Ingredients - Quick & Easy Food is sure to become your new best friend in the kitchen. It's all about making the journey to good food, super-simple. Every recipe uses just five key ingredients, ensuring you can get a plate of food together fast, whether it's finished and on the table super-quickly, or after minimal hands-on prep, you've let the oven do the hard work for you. We're talking quality over quantity, a little diligence on the cooking front, and in return massive flavour. Each recipe has been tried and tested (and tested again!) to ensure the book is packed with no-fuss, budget-friendly dishes that you can rustle up, any day of the week. With over 130 recipes, and chapters on Chicken, Beef, Pork, Lamb, Fish, Eggs, Veg, Salads, Pasta, Rice & Noodles and Sweet Things, there's plenty of quick and easy recipe inspiration to choose from. Think Roast tikka chicken - a whole bird rubbed with curry paste and roasted over golden potatoes and tender cauliflower, finished with fresh coriander. Or, Crazy simple fish pie - flaky smoked haddock, spring onions, spinach and melty Cheddar, all topped off with crisp, golden filo, and ready to tuck into in less than 30 minutes. With every recipe you'll find a visual ingredient guide, serving size, timings, a short, easy-to-follow method, and quick-reference nutritional information. This is Jamie's easiest-to-use book yet, and the perfect cookbook for busy people.

'A moving testimonial to the redemptive power of cooking. Risbridger knows that it offers not just solace but a map; cooking can save you. Generous, honest and uplifting. I wish I'd had this book when I was in my twenties' Diana Henry Recipes that reveal the life-changing happiness of cooking There are lots of ways to start a story, but this one begins with a chicken… There was a time when, for Ella Risbridger, the world had become overwhelming. Sounds were too loud, colours were too bright, everyone moved too fast. One night she found herself lying on her kitchen floor, wondering if she would ever get up – and it was the thought of a chicken, of roasting it, and of eating it, that got her to her feet and made her want to be alive. Midnight Chicken is a cookbook. Or, at least, you'll flick through these pages and find recipes so inviting that you will head straight for the kitchen: roast garlic and tomato soup, uplifting chilli-lemon spaghetti, charred leek lasagne, squash skillet pie, spicy fish finger sandwiches and burnt-butter brownies. It's the kind of cooking you can do a little bit drunk, that is probably better if you've got a bottle of wine open and a hunk of bread to mop up the sauce. But if you settle down and read it with a cup of tea (or a glass of that wine), you'll also discover that it's an annotated list of things worth living for – a manifesto of moments worth living for. This is a cookbook to make you fall in love with the world again.
Delicious vegetarian and vegan batch cook recipes for busy people. The phenomenal rise in the popularity of veganism, plant-based meals and flexitarian diets means that more of us are regularly choosing to cook meat-free dishes. Concerns about waste and budgets have ensured that making conscious decisions about using leftovers and root-to-shoot eating is becoming mainstream.

That's where The Green Batch Cook Book comes in, harnessing the vibrant fresh flavours of fruit and vegetables in an innovative and breezy collection of 70 meat-free recipes. Start your day with beautiful breakfasts - Sweet Potato, Pepper and Feta Frittata, No-knead Marmite and Cheese Loaf, Rose-pink Rhubarb and Vanilla Custard Pancakes - or simply bake a batch of Brown Sugar Rusks and Cranberry to eat on the run. Lazy make-ahead lunch recipes include Garlicky Mushroom and Chestnut Sausage Rolls, Edamame and Spring Green Pot Stickers and a simple but irresistible Broccoli, Lemon and Almond Salad. Feeding a crowd? Check out the family-friendly big batch chapter with tempting recipes for Mushroom, Broccoli and Walnut Lasagne, Summer Veg Patch Risotto or Sticky Aubergine Bao Buns with Smacked Cucumber. And if it's sweets or treats you're after, you'll love the ridiculously easy Cornflake Florentines, Blood Orange Upside-down Cake, tangy Lemon and Elderflower Slices or the wild Jumbleberry Sorbet.

Whether you are trying to lose weight, recover from an eating disorder, or improve your overall state of calm and wellness, this book helps you change your relationship with food and cultivate a positive eating mindset.

It's the sustainable way to shed pounds, maintain your healthiest weight, and ensure optimal digestion. When you build a positive relationship with food, you reduce binge and emotional eating. Included in the book are 30 vegetarian recipes designed to enhance your introduction to mindful eating by engaging all the senses.
