A beautifully illustrated monograph on the work and texts of Royal Academician Ian McKeever (b. 1946).Ian McKeever RA (b. 1946) began painting in 1969. His early work grew out of a conceptual interest in landscape, painting and photography, reflecting his journeys to Greenland, Papua New Guinea and Siberia. In the mid-1980s his art became more abstract, revealing his interest in the human body and architectural structures. McKeever has published many texts concerning his travels and the nature of painting, and this selection – ranging from Piero della Francesca to Joan Mitchell – brings these together in one volume for the first time.

Britain is in the grip of a housing crisis. It has, in fact, been in the grip of a housing crisis since the Industrial Revolution, when the population soared and people crammed into towns and cities in search of work. What followed is a tale of suburbia, green belts and, since the 1980s, the increasingly common sight of mass-produced and near identical housing across the land. This book argues that British house building over the centuries has been an art. An art of which we can be proud and an art we can still learn from. The artistry involved includes not just the design and appearance, but the setting of homes into the fabric of urban and rural landscapes and the very fabric of people's lives. We need to get the art of new housing right before building ever more homes that, while considered a necessity, no one truly likes. Where We Live is at once a critical history of the art of British housebuilding urban, suburban and rural, a study of where British housing has lost its way for the best part of a century, and a source of inspiration and hope for the future.

"The key missing piece in the Brexit story" Tim Shipman, The Spectator | "A wonderful read from one of the most quietly influential people in politics in recent decades." Chris Mason, BBC The 2016 Brexit referendum caused a political earthquake, with aftershocks that are still being felt a decade later. For many, including some who voted to leave, the result came as a surprise. But for one man, it was not. The outcome that stunned so many was something he had been working to achieve for twenty years. You may not have heard of Matthew Elliott, but you should have. He is one of Britains most successful campaigners, a reserved and thoughtful strategist who has single-handedly shaped our political landscape. In 2011, he staved off an attempt to change our voting system through the successful NOtoAV campaign. Then, five years later, he steered Vote Leave to victory as its chief executive. This extraordinary memoir spans the period from the build-up to Brexit during the 1990s to the present day, providing a fresh perspective on what really went on during the campaign, how the result was won and its bitter aftermath. With his customary candour and wit, Matthew reveals what its like working side-by-side with Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings, their dealings with Nigel Farage and the tricks of the trade that campaigners use to shape the news. Here, ten years on from the EU referendum, is the definitive story of Brexit, as told by the man who had a front-row seat to the most extraordinary political campaign of the modern era.

Understanding John Wesley: A Fresh Look at the Heart of His Faith Understanding John Wesley offers a compelling, accessible exploration of one of Christianitys most influential leaders. Drawing from rigorous historical research and the authors original theological study, this book reintroduces readers to the real Wesley scholar, preacher, organiser, and spiritual pioneer whose defining message of justification by faith ignited the eighteenth-century Evangelical Revival and continues to shape global Christianity today. Designed for pastors, students, and thoughtful readers, this volume cuts through centuries of debate to reveal a clear, balanced portrait of Wesleys convictions. From his early formation in the deeply devout Epworth Rectory, through his transformative Aldersgate experience, to his lifelong mission of spreading the religion of love, Roger William Fay traces how Wesleys theology developed, where it diverged from competing traditions, and why it still matters. With clarity and care, the book re-examines key moments: Wesleys Oxford years, his mission to Georgia, his break with Moravian teaching, and his evolving understanding of assurance and holiness. It also brings fresh insight by engaging the latest historical research, including newly evaluated diaries, letters, and scholarly reassessments. Readers will discover: The central role of justification by faith in Wesleys understanding of salvation How family, education, and social climate shaped his religious identity Why Wesleys Aldersgate experience remains the focal point of Methodist spirituality The tensions and triumphs that defined his long ministry How his legacy influenced both Evangelical and Methodist movements What todays church can learn from Wesleys passion for reasoned, practical holiness Understanding John Wesley is both a scholarly contribution and an inspiring invitation to rediscover a life, and a faith, of extraordinary depth. I have enjoyed Roger Fays honest yet sympathetic survey of this complex, ardent, sometimes confusing, sometimes difficult man, John Wesley. You may not concur any further with Wesley having read this book. You may not always even like him! However, I think you will understand him better, and may come to appreciate him even when you cannot agree with him. Jeremy Walker Roger Fay examines some key periods in Wesleys path to conversion, as well as other influences on his coming to faith, such his contact with Moravian Christians. The author also explores Wesleys family background, some of his character traits, and the contributions of friends and contacts to his thinking. Reading this book will help increase understanding of one of Englands greatest Christian leaders. Malcolm MacLean Autorid: Roger Fay

Jesus didn't come to find perfect people. Instead, He came to find those hungry for His presence and willing to be transformed into His image. We often fall into the trap of thinking the Christian life should be a steady climb upwardlike a growth line that goes only up and to the right on a graph. We imagine that when we truly follow Jesus, our lives should be free of spiritual failure and full of constant victory. But the reality of walking with God is often much messier. It is a lifelong process of progressive sanctification, where the Holy Spirit uses our ups and downsour triumphs and our tearsto shape us. God isn't looking for a polished version of you; He is calling you into a deep, transforming relationship where He uses every season to mold you into who He created you to be. In Becoming Like Jesus, Matt Chandler explores the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 to reveal exactly what this transformation looks like. These famous verses are not a list of impossible moral standards you must achieve to earn God's love. Rather, they are a beautiful description of the character Christ is forming in you by His grace. Jesus wasn't describing eight different groups of people but one disciple who is being remade from the inside out. This book is a guide for anyone tired of striving in their own strength and ready to surrender to the Spirit's work. Through these pages, you will learn how to: Recognize your spiritual bankruptcy and deepen your dependence on God's grace. Process grief and mourning in a way that leads to divine comfort. Trade the need for control for a spirit of meekness and strength. Cultivate a desperate hunger for righteousness over worldly satisfaction. Extend radical mercy to others flowing from the mercy you have received. Pursue a pure and undivided heart that sees God clearly. Become a peacemaker who brings reconciliation to broken situations. Find joy and endurance even when you face persecution for your faith. Wherever you find yourself today, be encouraged that God is not intimidated by your imperfections. He is actively at work in your life, using every circumstance to fulfill His calling. Dive into Becoming Like Jesus and discover the joy of being shaped, day by day, into the image of the Son.

If you are in the midst of great soul-sorrow, this book is written for you by someone who has been there too. Christians are often afraid to put language to deep suffering. It doesn't seem "holy" to outwardly grieve our losses, to lament our afflictions, to put up words like modern-day dust and ashes. This book is Sydney Anne Bennett's humble effort to sit beside you in the darkness and say, "I know. I feel it too. Let's go to Jesus right now, for we have nowhere else to go."After becoming disabled just two weeks after her honeymoon, Sydney was forced to reckon with a body that changed overnight and inhabit a faith that no longer fit tidy answers. Diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)--a condition that disrupts the brain's ability to send correction signals to the body—Sydney now lives with daily seizures, mobility loss, and chronic pain.Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken is not about overcoming disability. It is about learning to live truthfully before God and others with unresolved grief, humiliating dependence, and lingering limitations. It is about recognizing that faith does not resolve all questions neatly, and that dignity, courage, and steadfastness may remain even when independence disappears. God is present in bodies that no longer work as they once did. His presence makes broken things fearful and wonderful.This book is the companion Sydney wanted to have when she first became sick. Whether you are struggling with physical pain, disability, or illness, or are working through chapters of grief of a totally different kind, the answer to pain is always the same: Jesus will redeem your brokenness. He is building something—something fearful, yes. But also something wonderful. Are you battling chronic struggles---whether physical, mental, emotional, relational, or social? Are they eating away at your faith? Sydney Anne Bennett has been there.She knows what it is to live in a body that is unraveling, a world that doesn't understand, and a church that doesn't always know what to say.

There is a leadership skill no one taught youyet it determines the quality of every decision you make. Leaders are trained to have answers, drive alignment, and persuade others to move forward. But in todays environment, those scripts are persistently working against them. The more leaders push their message, the less progress they actually make. The result: missed signals, shallow alignment, and decisions made without the full picture. The leaders who outperform are not the most persuasive. Instead, they are the ones who know how to discover what others dont yet know how to say. In Winning Without Persuading, Esther Choyfounder of the Leadership Story Laboffers a radically different approach to leadership: one built on curiosity, story discovery, and the ability to uncover the hidden information that drives better decisions, stronger trust, and lasting change. The real leadership power lies in learning how to find the stories that change everything. Through her T² principleTransaction × TransformationChoy shows how every interaction can achieve immediate outcomes while also reshaping how people think, contribute, and lead. Youll learn how to: Make better decisions by uncovering what your team isnt sayingbefore its too late Use curiosity to access insights, risks, and opportunities that persuasion alone will not reveal Create interpersonal connections that enable people to feel seen, speak up, and staystrengthening engagement, retention, and team performance Ask the questions that surface original, high-value thinkingnot rehashed answers Lead with clarity, human insight, and authentic voice in an age where AI can generate answersbut not understanding In a world where everyone is talking, the leaders who stand out are the ones who know how to see, hear, and uncover what others miss.
