Liturgies for Hope expresses eloquently the collective ache felt by
many in modern society today - burnout, anxiety, daily stresses -
and reminds us how important it is to turn our focus outwards, to
each other and importantly, to our ever-loving God. Born during the
Covid pandemic, authors Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore asked
each other: what can we, lovers of words, create to defy the
darkness? Inspired by Christian liturgies-a type of prayer-poem-
they created Liturgies for Hope, resolving to offer something more
beautiful and trustworthy in response to the world around them.
Deeply uplifting, this beautiful collection of 60 comforting
prayers for modern life will help readers speak to the God who
knows them, supports them, and see that whatever their
circumstances there is always more hope to be had.
The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Think Like a Monk
offers a revelatory guide to every stage of romance, drawing on
ancient wisdom and new science. Nobody sits us down and teaches us
how to love. So we're often thrown into relationships with nothing
but romance movies and pop culture to help us muddle through. Until
now. Instead of presenting love as an ethereal concept or a
collection of cliches, Jay Shetty lays out specific, actionable
steps to help you develop the skills to practice and nurture love
better than ever before. He shares insights on how to win or lose
together, how to define love, and why you don't break in a
break-up. Inspired by Vedic wisdom and modern science, he tackles
the entire relationship cycle, from first dates to moving in
together to breaking up and starting over. And he shows us how to
avoid falling for false promises and unfulfilling partners. By
living Jay Shetty's eight rules, we can all love ourselves, our
partner, and the world better than we ever thought possible.
The islands of the Outer Hebrides are home to some of the most
remote and spectacular scenery in the world. They host an
astonishing range of mysterious structures - stone circles, beehive
dwellings, holy wells and 'temples' from the Celtic era. Over a
twelve-day pilgrimage, often in appalling conditions, Alastair
McIntosh returns to the islands of his childhood and explores the
meaning of these places. Traversing moors and mountains, struggling
through torrential rivers, he walks from the most southerly tip of
Harris to the northerly Butt of Lewis. The book is a walk through
space and time, across a physical landscape and into a spiritual
one. As he battled with his own ability to endure some of the
toughest terrain in Britain, he met with the healing power of the
land and its communities. This is a moving book, a powerful
reflection not simply of this extraordinary place and its people
met along the way, but of imaginative hope for humankind.

A scathingly funny, wildly erotic and fiercely imaginative story
about food, sex and god from the Women's Prize longlisted author of
The Pisces A STYLIST, INDEPENDENT, THE WEEK AND RED HIGHLIGHT FOR
2021 'Sexy and fun and a little weird ... This riot of carnal
pleasure will make you laugh as well as gasp' The Times 'A
revelation ... Melissa Broder has produced one of the strangest and
sexiest novels of the new year ... Exhilarating' Entertainment
Weekly 'A luscious, heartbreaking story of self-discovery through
the relentless pursuit of desire. I couldn't get enough of this
devastating and extremely sexy book' Carmen Maria Machado, author
of Her Body and Other Parties Rachel is twenty-four, a lapsed Jew
who has made calorie restriction her religion. By day, she
maintains an illusion of control by way of obsessive food rituals.
At night, she pedals nowhere on the elliptical machine. Then Rachel
meets Miriam, a young Orthodox Jewish woman intent upon feeding
her. Rachel is suddenly and powerfully entranced by Miriam - by her
sundaes and her body, her faith and her family - and as the two
grow closer, Rachel embarks on a journey marked by mirrors,
mysticism, mothers, milk, and honey. Pairing superlative emotional
insight with unabashed vivid fantasy, Melissa Broder tells a tale
of appetites: of physical hunger, of sexual desire, of spiritual
longing. Milk Fed is a tender and riotously funny meditation on
love, certitude, and the question of what we are all being fed,
from one of our major writers on the psyche - both sacred and
profane.
