1814: Mary Godwin, the 16-year-old daughter of radical socialist and feminist writers, runs away with a dangerously charming young poet—Percy Bysshe Shelley. From there, the two young lovers travel a Europe in the throes of revolutionary change, through high and low society, tragedy and passion, where they will be drawn into the orbit of the mad and bad Lord Byron. But Mary and Percy are not alone: they bring Jane, Mary's young step-sister. And she knows the biggest secrets of them all . . . Told from Mary and Jane's perspectives, Monsters is a novel about radical ideas, rule-breaking love, dangerous Romantics, and the creation of the greatest Gothic novel of them all: Frankenstein.
Isobel Kuhn wasn't always a missionary - she wasn't always a
Christian. Her teachers discouraged a belief in God and promoted
evolution. Isobel sometimes doubted whether there was anybody there
at all to hear her prayers. "They don't go beyond the ceiling you
know," she once said to her father who was desperately praying for
his young daughter. Isobel even considered suicide once but the
thought of her parents' heartache stopped her. Discover what
brought this questioning, antagonistic teenager from doubts to
faith in Christ. Find out how she affected the lives of countless
people on the mission field of China and Thailand. This stirring
and challenging story of faith is a role model to young people
everywhere.
Well educated and with a gift for writing, Hannah More was set to
become one of the leading lights in the literary and artistic
circles of the 1700s. Gradually, however, she realised that only
Jesus Christ could bring her fulfilment. Hannah More is best known
today for her penmanship but also for her defence of women's rights
and her anti-slavery stance. Her life of would-be-fame was changed
to a life of faith.
Hudson Taylor was a sickly child. He was often ill and had very
poor eyesight. But God chose him to evangelise the Chinese. So at
the age of 21 Hudson Taylor left the United Kingdom to sail half
way round the world to China. Why did he do this? He did it to tell
the Chinese people about the good news of Jesus Christ and to give
them a message of hope. This story covers Hudson's childhood and
traumatic teenage years as well as his life as a well-known pioneer
missionary.
As a little girl, Frances (Fanny) loved to climb trees, enjoy the
countryside and to run about with her spaniel. The mountains of
Switzerland inspired her and she loved hiking on the steep slopes.
She became a hymn writer and singer, longing to share the love of
her Saviour. Books flowed from her pen at a later stage, often
beginning as bedtime stories for her nephews and nieces.

In 1938, in the remote highlands of a mountainous island, explorers
discovered thousands upon thousands of tribal people. Missionaries
began to come, to bring the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. Little did they know that many of the people of the tribes
were waiting . . . waiting . . . for someone to come and help them
out of the darkness of their old way of life. Witness Men consists
of true missionary stories that took place throughout the highlands
of Papua, Indonesia, from 1955 to 2010, when one of the tribes
received their first New Testaments.
