Bonny Brooks - Good Choices Thirty-five, P is a woman caught between commitment and chaos; about to upend her current stable life to invoke the tumult of her former, addicted one. Or perhaps just walk into the sea. Desperately trying to 'finally do the right things', she has back-burnered much of her own writing ambition to be the echo of her self-absorbed Right Writer fiancee; a man with less talent and far less raw material to draw on than her, but whose charmed roots opened doors. When we meet her, she is visiting old mates in Bristol, trying to write her wedding vows. One inspirational talk delivered at her old rehab, a chance meeting with a fellow former inpatient she used to fuck in the laundry room, and one junkie handbag thief later, and P is on a mission to save her engagement that takes her through the crack-houses and blues clubs she used to frequent. But does she even want her engagement? And what's so wrong with walking into the sea? Written partly as a series of no-send wedding vow drafts and journal entries, Good Choices explores the ways in which we try to impose narrative on our lives, for the implied audience always judging. Bonny Brooks writes with eye-watering frankness, empathetic and full-hearted to the last.

God's Living Fragrance uses our sense of smell to talk about the spiritual realm. Fragrance is a substance of things unseen. How can an invisible God be made real to a visible world? What can we do to make the spiritual world able to be perceived by others? Even when others can't seem to hear or see spiritual things, they may still be able to smell a heavenly scent. Our success will depend on what scent we give off. Every day we give off either the smell of self or the fragrance of Him. As we learn how to become one of God's living fragrances we will give off an essence of Him that may open the door of a closed mind or drift through the windows of the hardest heart. As we do, we will find that His presence and power will continue to refresh and renew us as we unplug the stopper and spread the fragrance of Him. Here is a book that is meant to be lived -- not just read.
