This diary is uniquely illustrated around the zodiac theme and will
stand out strikingly against other diaries. It brings lunar wisdom
into your day to day, with life-coaching tools and tips each week.
The planner is divided by zodiac sign, showing how the sun's
movement through the zodiac affects everyone's energies, whatever
star sign. It displays the effect of planetary conjunctions and how
Mercury entering retrograde affects our decision making and
fortunes. The diary illustrates the characteristics of each zodiac
sign and how that impacts on the events of your life. Pisces is the
dreamer, so when the sun enters Pisces, it's time to implement
steps to move closer to your dream life. Taurus is the time to plan
financial abundance. Aries is a concentrated energy to begin
something, whether that's a vigorous new exercise programme or a
new project. Astrology is a wonderful tool you can use everywhere,
you don't need to be mystical to enjoy it.
If this book saves just one person’s life, Leo Prinsloo will be happy.
Leo became an internet sensation after footage of his reaction to an attempted high-value goods-in-transit heist went viral. Stunned by his cool attitude and focused action in a crisis situation, South Africans had an example of what can happen when good people take a stand. With decades of experience in security – first as a policeman, then in the South African Police Service’s Special Task Force, and now providing arms handling and security training in the private sector – Leo has a wealth of knowledge on how to manage life-threatening incidents.
Driven by a desire to empower South Africans and help them claim back their sense of safety, he offers advice for dealing with every risky situation, from how to handle hijackings and road rage, to how to keep your children safe, to the best way to secure your home and business. He also provides comprehensive information about handling firearms and basic first aid.
Leo’s Guide to Not Becoming a Statistic is a guide to living your safest life in South Africa – something which has become increasingly important as our crime statistics continue to rise. Straight-talking and honest – much like Leo himself – it is an easy to use manual that makes keeping safe accessible, with relatable information and easy to implement tips.
Leo says that taking the first step towards securing your safety is the most important, and his book will help you take that step.
A 40-day journey exploring the themes of hope and new life through
vivid biblical images, Holding onto Hope can be used through Lent
or during any 40-day period. We start with how all creation praises
God, from the flowers of the field to the streams in the desert and
the trees clapping their hands. We then explore the agricultural
pattern of sowing, growing and harvesting before moving to the
gracious promises and invitations God makes to his people, such as
how he writes eternity onto our hearts. Next come compelling images
of God as our help and refuge, including God being our shade and
rear guard, before seeing how God changes his people – he clothes
us, renews our minds and strengthens us. Finally, we focus on our
new life in Christ through images such as new wineskins, the
imperishable seed and the city to come.

I Survived the American Revolution, 1776 with text adapted by
Georgia Ball and art by Leo Trinidad. Nathaniel Fox never imagined
he'd find himself in the middle of a blood-soaked battlefield,
fighting for his life. He's only eleven years old! He's barely paid
attention to the troubles between America and England. Instead,
he's been worked to the bone by his cruel uncle. But when his
uncle's rage forces him to suddenly flee home, Nate finds himself
in New York City, in the middle of the American Revolution. He
encounters an old friend and joins his army regiment as a camp
helper. Soon the British invade -- and nothing goes as planned. Can
Nate survive the war's biggest battle yet? Lauren Tarshis's New

(Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo

against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her

impact on the lives of three principal characters: the courageous
Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov, and the
nobly born beauty Natasha Rostov.

‘This novel annihilated me. I gasped, laughed, and wept my way
through it’ KHALED HOSSEINI ‘Tender and raw and funny, it's a
rattling good read’ COLUM MCCANN ‘A wildly charming debut –
propulsive, funny, and profound’ ELIF BATUMAN Tbilisi’s
littered with memories that await me like landmines. The dearly
departed voices I silenced long ago have come back without my
permission. The situation calls for someone with a plan. I didn’t
even bring toothpaste. Saba is just a child when he flees his home
in Georgia with his older brother, Sandro, and father, Irakli, for
asylum in the UK after Russia’s occupation of South Ossetia. Two
decades later, all three men are struggling to make peace with the
past, haunted by the places and people they left behind. When
Irakli decides to return to Georgia, pulled back by memories of a
lost wife and a decaying but still beautiful homeland, Saba and
Sandro wait eagerly for news. But within weeks of his arrival,
Irakli disappears, and the final email they receive from him causes
a mystery to unfold before them: ‘My boys, I did something I
can’t undo. I need to get away from here before those people
catch me. Maybe in the mountains I’ll be safe. I left a trail I
can’t erase. Do not follow it.' In a journey that will lead him
to the very heart of a conflict that has marred generations and
fractured his own family, Saba must retrace his father's footsteps
to discover what remains of their homeland and its people. By turns
savage and tender, compassionate and harrowing, Hard by a Great
Forest is a powerful and ultimately hopeful novel about the
individual and collective trauma of war, and the indomitable spirit
of a people determined not only to survive, but to remember those
who did not.
