Set in early-1970s Harlem, If Beale Street Could Talk is a timeless and moving love story of both a couple's unbreakable bond and the African-American family's empowering embrace, as told through the eyes of 19-year old Tish Rivers. A daughter and wife-to-be, Tish vividly recalls the passion, respect and trust that have connected her and her artist fiancé Alonzo Hunt, who goes by the nickname Fonny. Friends since childhood, the devoted couple dream of a future together but their plans are derailed when Fonny is arrested for a crime he did not commit. Tish knows that Fonny is innocent, and is mindful that his good friend Daniel Carty has only recently been freed after an unjust incarceration. While Fonny's mother clings to piety and his father grapples with feelings of powerlessness, Tish's earthy father Joseph and fierce older sister Ernestine are unwavering in their support. Even more anxious to clear Fonny's name is Tish's deeply compassionate mother Sharon, readying to put herself on the line for her daughter and future son-in-law's happiness... and for the couple's unborn child, whose arrival will herald new joys and challenges. Facing the unexpected prospect of parenthood and holding down a job without her partner at her side, Tish must adjust her perspective on the realities of her existence while visiting Fonny regularly, trying to shore up his spirit even as prison takes its toll. As the weeks turn to months, Tish reaffirms their hopes and resilience, relying on family and inner strength. (Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actress. Also nominated for: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Musical Score)

Therapy was meant to solve her problems, not make them worse... Twenty-year-old Dani is desperate to overcome her demons, leave her supermarket canteen job and return to her hard-won place at university. Using her limited earnings to enrol with a psychotherapist isn't a light decision, but Richard Goode's practice is a short bus ride from the flat where she's crashing with her sister, and he seems the perfect person to help. He's sophisticated, educated and worldly - all that Dani aspires to be. Dani's symptoms improve as Richard intuitively unpicks her self-loathing. She assumes the fantasies she's developing about him live only in her head, but then in one session, to Dani's shock, her therapist shatters the professional boundary and reciprocates her feelings. As they descend into a maelstrom of twisted desire, manipulation and mistrust, the power struggle between them escalates-and when Richard tries to deny their relationship altogether, Dani knows she must seek justice... Fifty Minutes is a powerful, propulsive and bold debut that exposes the complex nature of trust and the subtle balance of power and vulnerability in our modern age, and marks Carla Jenkins as a vital new voice in fiction.

As polyamory continues to make its way into the mainstream, more and more people are exploring consensual non-monogamy in the hope of experiencing more love, connection, sex, freedom, and support. While for many, the move expands personal horizons, for others, the transition can be challenging, leaving them blindsided and overwhelmed. Beyond the initial transition to non-monogamy, many struggle with the root issues beneath the symptoms of broken agreements, communication challenges, increased fighting, and persistent jealousy. Polyamorous psychotherapist Jessica Fern and restorative justice facilitator David Cooley share the insights they have gained through thousands of hours working with clients in consensually non-monogamous relationships. Using a grounded theory approach, they explore the underlying challenges that non-monogamous individuals and partners can experience after their first steps, offering practical strategies for transforming them into opportunities for new levels of clarity and intimacy.Â
Ons lees dikwels in die Bybel van mense wat gekies is om God te dien,
maar wat beteken dit werklik om gekies te wees? Om deur Jesus gekies te
wees, het wonderlike en verreikende implikasies – hoewel dit meer sê
oor die Een wat kies as oor die een wat gekies is. Ons is geliefd, want
Hy is liefde. Ons is gered, want Hy is genadig. Ons behoort aan God se
familie, want Jesus nooi ons, waardeur al die beloftes in die Bybel vir
ons net so waar is as wat dit in die Bybelse tyd was.
Wat gebeur nadat jy besef en aanvaar Jesus het jou inderdaad gekies?
Wanneer ons aan Hom behoort, kry ons nie net ’n nuwe identiteit nie;
ons word in ’n nuwe realiteit ingelei – een wat eg, kragtig en
lewensveranderend is.

Elsie Porter is an average twentysomething and yet what happens to her is anything but ordinary. On a rainy New Year's Day, she heads out to pick up a pizza for one. She isn't expecting to see anyone else in the shop, much less the adorable and charming Ben Ross. Their chemistry is instant and electric. Ben cannot even wait twenty-four hours before asking to see her again. Within weeks, the two are head over heels in love. By May, they've eloped. Only nine days later, Ben is out riding his bike when he is hit by a truck and killed on impact. Elsie hears the sirens outside her apartment, but by the time she gets downstairs, he has already been whisked off to the emergency room. At the hospital, she must face Susan, the mother-in-law she has never met-and who doesn't even know Elsie exists. Interweaving Elsie and Ben's charmed romance with Elsie and Susan's healing process, Forever, Interrupted will remind you that there's more than one way to find a happy ending.
Throughout the Bible we read of people being chosen to serve God, but
what does it actually mean to be chosen? Being chosen by Jesus has
beautiful and far-reaching implications – although it says even more
about the Chooser than the one being chosen. We are loved because He is
love. We are saved because He is merciful. We belong to the family of
God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as
true for us today as it was for God’s chosen people.
