Change your spiritual diet and start enjoying a fulfilling faith. Countless Christians are struggling with the never-ending chaos consuming our world. To find a way out of the overwhelm, we turn to our phones, social media, politics, and a million other little things, desperate for relief. But over time, these imposters leave us weak, weary, and starving. Now more than ever is the perfect time to examine what we are feeding our souls so that we can receive the sustenance we need. In this six-session Bible study companion to the book Starved, popular author and teacher Amy Seiffert helps readers sweep out their spiritual pantry and replace those old ingredients with new biblical principles that will provide healthy change in real, lasting ways. Throughout the Starved Bible Study, which is designed for both individuals and groups, Amy invites you to join her in practicing what it means to leave behind sluggish spirituality by offering healthy alternatives such as: putting down our phones to find genuine connection; letting go of anxiety and fear to discover peace; setting aside exhaustion so we can rest and be renewed; and more. In this study, Amy welcomes you to the table, inviting you to sit down and give thanks and begin the good, holy work of indulging in spiritual nourishment that only comes from Jesus. Six truths, six practices, six weeks of walking out of starvation and into satisfaction.

As he teetered on a narrow rock ledge a yak’s bellow short of the stratosphere, with a rubber mask strapped to his face, a pair of mittens the size of a sealion’s flippers, and a drop of two kilometres below him, it’s fair to say Mark Horrell wasn’t entirely happy with the situation he found himself in. He had been an ordinary hiker who had only read books about mountaineering. When he signed up for an organised trek in Nepal with a group of elderly ladies, little did he know that ten years later he would be attempting to climb the world’s highest mountain. But as he travelled across the Himalayas, Andes, Alps and East Africa, following in the footsteps of the pioneers, he dreamed up a seven-point plan to gain the skills and experience which could turn a wild idea into reality. Funny, incisive and heartfelt, his journey provides a refreshingly honest portrait of the joys and torments of a modern-day Everest climber.

'Immensely entertaining . . . combines the anarchy of Douglas Adams with a Wodehousian generosity of spirit' Susanna Clarke 'Extraordinary, complicated, hilarious, melancholy and terrifying' Independent --- Let me tell you a story. No, wait. One's not enough. I'll begin again . . . Let me tell you stories of the months of the year, of ghosts and heartbreak, of dread and desire. Or after-hours drinking and unanswered phones, of good deeds and bad days, of trusting wolves and how to talk to girls. There are stories within stories, whispered in the quiet of the night, shouted above the roar of the day, and played out between lovers and enemies, strangers and friends. But all, all are fragile things made of just twenty-six letters arranged and rearranged to form tales and imaginings. NEIL GAIMAN. WITH STORIES COME POSSIBILITIES.
