'Yes, I'm gluten and wheat free. Yes, it's an allergy. Yes, coeliac disease... No, I don't want a salad! If that sounds familiar, and you too want to munch into breaded chicken or enjoy gooey Mac & cheese, then I'm here to show you that, yes, you can make ANYTHING gluten free.' Megan McKenna, Celebrity MasterChef finalist, singer-songwriter, highly engaged influencer, coeliac and home cook, invites you into her gluten-free kitchen. Regularly sharing her cooking videos with over 4 million viewers, Megan is often messaged to ask: 'Can you make that gluten-free?' And now Megan is inviting you into her gluten-free kitchen with her first cookbook, which proves that anyone, regardless of dietary requirements can eat delicious, mouthwatering meals, just like everybody else - simply by swapping a few ingredients along the way. With more than 80 gluten-free recipes to explore, and chapters covering Quick Bites, Naughty Nights In, Posh Nosh and Heaven O'Clock, there's no need to feel left out on pancake day, spend another birthday without cake or miss out on the food at parties and events. Growing up, Megan was constantly unwell and found herself eating her lunches alone in the stairwell at school. When she was finally diagnosed with coeliac disease, Megan was encouraged to cook everything from scratch by her mum and soon learnt how to manage her health. She has had her fair share of trolls and tantrums along the way, but Megan's resilience, relaxed kitchen vibe and down-to-earth recipes have helped her enjoy everyday, tasty gluten-free food, and now you can, too.
"The triune God is a communion of love, and the family is its living reflection." These words, taken from Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love), have inspired celebrated theologian Megan McKenna to explore how and why families are the living embodiment of Christian values and teachings. In Holy Families: Shadows of the Trinity, readers are invited to view the key scriptural accounts of the Holy Family as providing a model and template for families today. By focusing on the inevitable triumphs and travails that are part and parcel of marriage and child-rearing, the author teases out the very real links between the challenges experienced by Joseph, Jesus and Mary, and those facing families in the contemporary world. Reflecting on key Gospel events - the Annunciation and Visitation, the Presentation, and the Resurrection among them - this book explores how fathers, children and mothers are shadows of the image of God the Father, the Child and the Spirit in the Trinity and are the very presence of God in the community and the world.
In this powerful collection of her best poetry, prophet and world traveler Megan McKenna lifts the veil of the sacred realm and offers us rare glimpses into the Marrow of Mystery. This collection is from the pen of a peregrine soul who helps us see God wherever we are and explore the marrow of mystery in the people we encounter, prayers we utter, natural world we inhabit, and mysterious space we embody.
Unpeel the layers of your spiritual life... In the realm of the Spirit, and when dealing with our own souls and the souls of others, we are often at a loss for words. We have a sense, maybe even an image, of what we want to share, ask or communicate, but words are harder to find and express. Stories are the glue that holds us together in whatever groups we belong to, even if we only visit or find ourselves on the margins. In a sense, our god is a story being told and god is seeking for all of us to listen, to enter into the story and become one. Megan Mckenna uses images of Russian nesting dolls to illustrate the many layers of the stories that exist in each of our lives, particularly in relation to the Spirit. Stories are critical to living and are intertwined with truth in such a way that we can carry them with us, remember them and pass them along, sharing them as needed. We live inside a story. We live inside God.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Megan McKenna is the Essex girl who exploded onto our screens in some of the biggest reality TV shows in Britain, including Ex on the Beach, Celebrity Big Brother and, of course, TOWIE. Her sassy, no-holds-barred story follows her journey to the spotlight - from first ever steps on the stage, through to being flown to the EOTB villa for the first time. She speaks candidly about having her heart broken on national TV, as well as pursuing her musical dreams. Megan also shows readers her more vulnerable side, telling of the shy girl who hid from bullies, her struggles with coeliac disease, and the anxiety she still battles every day. Throughout all the meltdowns and mayhem, she has never let go of her dreams and passions - resulting in the launch of her own clothing and makeup brands, and a gluten-free fine-dining restaurant, McK Grill. MOUTHY will give readers unique access to what really goes on when the cameras stop rolling and the paparazzi have gone home. Megan uncovers the truth behind the headlines in her own words - straight from the famous Megan McKenna mouth!
This book is a collection of memories and glimpses of an extraordinarily down-to-earth and insightful woman, my Nana. It looks back and forward , piecing together words, images and experiences of growing up and spending Summer holidays with her in New York, where she sourced, and seeded hope, vitality and sage advice in me. Now in my sixties, I am passing on that wisdom. Everyone loves a grandparent, or wishes they had one to remember and be loved by , perhaps this collection of short stories, flashes of insight, moments that stayed and grew into knowledge and understanding, will give them a Nana to cherish, or add to the memories of their own wise ones, who have gone before them in faith. These memories are funny, truthful, probing, realistic; laced with grief, awe, and grace. She lived for eighty-six years; an immigrant, widowed young. I knew her and yet barely knew her as only a child knows, remembers, pieces together and then realises there are huge pieces missing. The book is short, but layered , a book to be savored, shared, and passed around.
Megan McKenna, the well-known storyteller and popular author, walks readers through the 40 days of Lent and Holy Week.

The Resurrection is the central mystery of believing Christians. Through scriptural exegesis, cutting-edge scholarship, storytelling, and insightful interpretation, And Morning Came reveals that the Resurrection is not a single event but an ongoing experience of God's grace and power in our daily lives. In this masterful exploration through the Scriptures of the Resurrection, Megan McKenna helps us know each of the Gospel writers, understand the world they lived in, grasp the unique aspects of their Resurrection accounts, and see the connections these accounts have to our lives. Like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John-who wrote their accounts after the life, death and resurrection of Jesus has been experienced and the gift of the Spirit has come to guide the followers of Jesus-we are called to be inspired by this same Spirit and to both see and make real the incarnate God at work in the world from the moment of creation. In a world suffering from war, terror, fear, and economic hardship, this book is welcomed because it is, as McKenna states, "about living, about dying, about rising, about beginnings and endings and how to live resurrection now . . ." A profound book about hope from one of the most popular Christian writers of our time, And Morning Came is an adventure that appeals to the intellect, the heart, and the soul. Ecumenical in scope, it is a call to discover who we really are in light of God's eternal love and to live our lives to the fullest.
