  • The Divine Dance: The Trinity And Your Transformation

    08

    The Divine Dance has become a classic for fans of Richard Rohr and an important book on Christian mysticism, it provides a fresh perspective for anyone studying or teaching the trinity.

    The Trinity is the central doctrine of Christianity, but it is still widely considered a mystery we won’t ever fully understand. Should we still try to understand it, even so? If we could, how would it transform our relationship with God?

    In this stimulating and thought-provoking book, internationally recognised teacher Richard Rohr explores the nature of God and the paradoxical idea of the Holy Trinity as both three and one. With clear, surefooted wisdom, he encourages us to build on the early Christian understanding of the relationship between Father, Son and Spirit as a flow and dance – a Divine Dance – that we are invited to join in.

    An engaging, accessible look at the nature of God, The Divine Dance will challenge the way you think about the Trinity and give you a much fuller understanding of the triune relationship that is at the heart of Christian doctrine. It will leave you with a faith that is renewed and strengthened, and show you how you can engage more deeply in your relationship with God and the world through the Trinity.

  • SEO 2019: Actionable, Hands-on SEO, Including a Full Site Audit (Webmaster Series)

    06
    Do you want to learn a safe & effective SEO strategy that works in 2019? Real search engine optimization where you build 100% white-hat backlinks to catapult your site to the top of the SERPs? An SEO plan without risk of a Google slap or penalty?

    In 2019, how many SEO books & courses can offer that type of search engine optimization? This book can!

    Google is on the SEO warpath. Anyone caught breaking the rules or trying to manipulate rankings through aggressive SEO techniques, will find their website dropping out of the top 10, top 100, or out of the search results altogether. Commonly taught SEO techniques can now kill your rankings!

    Google released a whole menagerie of animals (Panda, Penguin, Pigeon, etc), but also employs humans to rate your content. You cannot fly under the radar any more. Gone are the days of fast rankings with SEO loopholes. Today, SEO can be dangerous if you follow the wrong advice. Most free online SEO advice is very wrong because it’s either out of date, or written by someone that doesn’t do it for a living. I’ve been studying, testing, and teaching SEO for over a decade.

    SEO 2019 is a book that will teach you the safe, white-hat search engine optimization strategies I personally use to get my web pages (and those of my clients) to rank high in Google. This is battle-tested, white hat SEO that I’ve learned, developed and tested over the last decade. On-site optimization techniques that I was teaching my newsletter readers back in 2008, are only now becoming mainstream in SEO. I play by Google’s rules, meaning I never have to wake up after a major update and wonder if my sites have been hit.

    With so many algorithm changes taking place at Google, you might be wondering how it is possible to stay up to date with all the changes. The good news is that it is easy once you acquire the right mindset. Understand what Google is trying to do, and give it to them. You won’t find me discussing loopholes or strategies to beat the system. What you will find is solid strategies & advice to create great content, build authority links, and increase your domain authority.

    This book covers everything you need to know, including:

    • What is SEO and what are the main rnaking factors?
    • Major Google changes and how they have affected the way we do SEO.
    • Creating the quality content your visitors want, and search engines love.
    • Finding essential theme words and phrases for any piece of content you write.
    • All on-page factors discussed.
    • Scema & Structured data.
    • Site organization & structure.
    • What is authority, and how you can you incrase yours?
    • How to get authority, white-hat, high quality backlinks.
    • Giving your visitors what they want, while keeping search engines happy.
    • A complete SEO audit to check for common problems.

    SEO 2019 was written by search engine veteran Andy Williams of ezSEONews.com. He has been teaching this stuff since 2003, in his free weekly newsletter. If you want to understand what the search engines want, and learn modern search engine optimization that gets higher rankings through great content and smart backlinking, explode your traffic, AND have Google’s blessing, then you should read this book.

  • Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing: ‘Funny, fascinating and compelling’ The Times

    08

    ‘There’s never been a more honest or raw memoir … and it may just save lives’ Daily Mail

    ‘Funny, fascinating, compelling … also a wonderful read for fans of Friends’ The Times

    The beloved star of Friends takes us behind the scenes of the hit sitcom and his struggles with addiction in this candid, funny, and revelatory memoir that delivers a powerful message of hope and persistence.

    This is the riveting story of acclaimed actor Matthew Perry, who takes us along on his journey from childhood ambition to fame to addiction and recovery in the aftermath of a life-threatening health scare. Before the frequent hospital visits and stints in rehab, there was five-year-old Matthew, who travelled from Montreal to Los Angeles, shuffling between his separated parents; fourteen-year-old Matthew, who was a nationally ranked tennis star in Canada; twenty-four-year-old Matthew, who nabbed a coveted role as a lead cast member on the talked-about pilot then called Friends Like Us. . . and so much more.

    In an extraordinary story that only he could tell – and in the heartfelt, hilarious, and warmly familiar way only he could tell it – Matthew Perry lays bare the fractured family that raised him (and also left him to his own devices), the desire for recognition that drove him to fame, and the void inside him that could not be filled even by his greatest dreams coming true. But he also details the peace he’s found in sobriety and how he feels about the ubiquity of Friends, sharing stories about his castmates and other stars he met along the way. Frank, self-aware, and with his trademark humour, Perry vividly depicts his lifelong battle with addiction and what fuelled it despite seemingly having it all.

    Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing is an unforgettable memoir that is both intimate and eye-opening – as well as a hand extended to anyone struggling with sobriety. Unflinchingly honest, moving, and uproariously funny, this is the book fans have been waiting for.

    ‘An unflinching and often harrowing must-read for 90s pop culture fans’ Guardian

    ‘Written with Chandler’s trademark sarcasm and self-deprecation’ Telegraph

    ‘A hopeful read … I started to think of [it] not as a celebrity memoir about addiction, but as an addiction memoir written by a man who understands his own history through the prism of showbiz’ Independent

    ‘The best mystery-procedural series on the market. Try one and tell me I’m wrong’ STEPHEN KING

    Late November, 1980. Student Nick Hartley returns from a lecture to find his house full of police officers. As he discovers that his ex-girlfriend has been found murdered in a nearby park, and her new boyfriend is missing, he realises two things in quick succession: he is undoubtedly a suspect as he has no convincing alibi, and he has own suspicions as to what might have happened . . .

    Late November 2019. An dig near Scotch Corner unearths a skeleton that turns out to be far more recent than the Roman remains the archaeologist is looking for.

    After over 800 days without murdering anyone, the woman formerly known as the Sweetpea Killer thinks she might have finally turned over a new leaf.

    That is until her soon-to-be sister-in-law has a run in with her abusive ex, and Rhiannon rediscovers her taste for revenge. This time, with a loving family in tow, the stakes are much higher.

  • Cast a Cold Eye: A Gritty Historical Crime Thriller Set in 1930s Glasgow (Jimmy Dreghorn series, 2)

    08

    ‘This is Peaky Blinders territory. Packed with dramatic action and unforgettable characters, it casts a hypnotic spell and stirs the blood’ – Daily Mail

    ‘A darkly compelling thriller . . . Morrison succeeds in summoning Depression-era Glasgow in a powerful work of crime fiction’ – Sunday Times

    Glasgow, 1933

    Murder is nothing new in the Depression-era city, especially to war veterans Inspector Jimmy Dreghorn and his partner ‘Bonnie’ Archie McDaid. But the dead man found in a narrowboat on the Forth and Clyde Canal, executed with a single shot to the back of the head, is no ordinary killing.

    Violence usually erupts in the heat of the moment – the razor-gangs that stalk the streets settle scores with knives and fists. Firearms suggest something more sinister, especially when the killer strikes again. Meanwhile, other forces are stirring within the city. A suspected IRA cell is at large, embedded within the criminal gangs and attracting the ruthless attention of Special Branch agents from London.

    With political and sectarian tensions rising, and the body count mounting, Dreghorn and McDaid pursue an investigation into the dark heart of humanity – where one person’s freedom fighter is another’s terrorist, and noble ideals are swept away by bloody vengeance.

    Cast a Cold Eye by Robbie Morrison is a dark historical crime novel and the sequel to Edge of the Grave, winner of Bloody Scotland’s Scottish Crime Debut of the Year.

    08

    The new historical crime thriller in the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling series, perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom and Hilary Mantel

    Prague, 1588.

    A COURT IN TURMOIL
    The Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf II, wants to expand the boundaries of human knowledge, and his court is a haven for scientists, astrologers and alchemists. His abiding passion is the feverish search for the philosopher’s stone and thus immortality. The Catholic Church fears he has pushed too far, into the forbidden realm of heresy – and the greatest powers in Christendom are concerned about the imperial line of succession.

    A MURDERED ALCHEMIST
    Giordano Bruno is sent to his court by Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I’s spymaster. His task: to contact the famous English alchemist and mystic John Dee, another of Walsingham’s spies. But Bruno’s arrival in Prague coincides with the brutal murder of a rival alchemist – and John Dee himself has disappeared.

    AN UNFORGIVING ENEMY
    Ordered by the emperor to find the killer, Bruno’s investigations bring him face to face with an old enemy from the Inquisition. But could the real danger lie elsewhere? Amidst the jostling factions at court and the religious tensions brewing in the city, Bruno has to track down a murderer as elusive as the elixir of life itself.

    ‘The clever twists and turns of Alchemy are assuredly plotted and Prague, a city in religious and political turmoil, makes for a powerful setting’ The Times

    That attention comes from the Secretary of Defense, who calls for an inter-agency task force to investigate. Jack Reacher, recently demoted from Major, is assigned as the Army’s representative. If he gets a result, great. If not, he’s a convenient fall guy.

    Reacher may be an exceptional military investigator, but office politics aren’t what gets him up in the morning. As he races to identify a cold-blooded killer and uncover a secret that stretches back 23 years, he must navigate around his new partners.

  • Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of NIKE

    08
    ‘A refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like … It’s an amazing tale’ Bill Gates

    ‘The best book I read last year was Shoe Dog, by Nike’s Phil Knight. Phil is a very wise, intelligent and competitive fellow who is also a gifted storyteller’ Warren Buffett

    In 1962, fresh out of business school, Phil Knight borrowed $50 from his father and created a company with a simple mission: import high-quality, low-cost athletic shoes from Japan. Selling the shoes from the boot of his Plymouth, Knight grossed $8000 in his first year. Today, Nike’s annual sales top $30 billion. In an age of start-ups, Nike is the ne plus ultra of all start-ups, and the swoosh has become a revolutionary, globe-spanning icon, one of the most ubiquitous and recognisable symbols in the world today.
     
    But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always remained a mystery. Now, for the first time, he tells his story. Candid, humble, wry and gutsy, he begins with his crossroads moment when at 24 he decided to start his own business. He details the many risks and daunting setbacks that stood between him and his dream – along with his early triumphs. Above all, he recalls how his first band of partners and employees soon became a tight-knit band of brothers. Together, harnessing the transcendent power of a shared mission, and a deep belief in the spirit of sport, they built a brand that changed everything. 

    A memoir rich with insight, humour and hard-won wisdom, this book is also studded with lessons – about building something from scratch, overcoming adversity, and ultimately leaving your mark on the world.

  • The Medical Discoveries Of Edward Bach Physician: What the Flowers Do for the Human Body

    08

    In 1912 Edward Bach qualified as a medical doctor and embarked upon a career which not only had a profound effect on medical science, but brought to ordinary people the world over, a simple, safe and effective system of healing.

    Dr. Bach made a detailed study of bacteriology, immunology and homeopathy and found a clear connection between chronic disease and negative mental attitudes. It was the relationship between mind and body which formed the basis of his further research and as he became increasingly convinced that emotional harmony was the key to good health, he was determined to find a simple, non-invasive and harmless method of healing which could be used safely by everyone.

    The Medical Discoveries of Edward Bach tells how Dr. Bach’s work developed, from his childhood hopes and dreams of a healthy society, to the discovery of a complete system of 38 natural remedies which address all aspects of human nature, emotional outlook and personality. Edward Bach was an eminent physician whose remarkable contribution to medicine, healing and humanity has yet to be fully realised.

  • Losing Eden: Why Our Minds Need the Wild

    08

    A TIMES AND TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR

    ‘Beautifully written, movingly told and meticulously researched … a convincing plea for a wilder, richer world’ Isabella Tree, author of Wilding

    ‘By the time I’d read the first chapter, I’d resolved to take my son into the woods every afternoon over winter. By the time I’d read the sixth, I was wanting to break prisoners out of cells and onto the mossy moors. Losing Eden rigorously and convincingly tells of the value of the natural universe to our human hearts’ Amy Liptrot, author of The Outrun

    Today many of us live indoor lives, disconnected from the natural world as never before. And yet nature remains deeply ingrained in our language, culture and consciousness. For centuries, we have acted on an intuitive sense that we need communion with the wild to feel well. Now, in the moment of our great migration away from the rest of nature, more and more scientific evidence is emerging to confirm its place at the heart of our psychological wellbeing. So what happens, asks acclaimed journalist Lucy Jones, as we lose our bond with the natural world-might we also be losing part of ourselves?

    Delicately observed and rigorously researched, Losing Eden is an enthralling journey through this new research, exploring how and why connecting with the living world can so drastically affect our health. Travelling from forest schools in East London to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault via primeval woodlands, Californian laboratories and ecotherapists’ couches, Jones takes us to the cutting edge of human biology, neuroscience and psychology, and discovers new ways of understanding our increasingly dysfunctional relationship with the earth.

    Urgent and uplifting, Losing Eden is a rallying cry for a wilder way of life – for finding asylum in the soil and joy in the trees – which might just help us to save the living planet, as well as ourselves.
