'Funny, despite bloody everything' - Charlie Brooker An indispensable handbook to see the nation through lockdown, breakdown and meltdown. As Britain enters a period of tremendous upheaval, your government has requested that everyone immediately undertake a series of life-style changes that may test the nation's resolve. Most of it is simple common-sense, but common-sense may be new to you, especially if you are young, wistful or an imbecile. Indeed, it should be noted that much of what is to come in the weeks and months (and months) ahead will be new to us all. But let us remember that, not so long ago, the same was true of pesto. We must not lose heart. With stoicism, courage and a substantial supply of alcoholic fortification, we will pull through this together and emerge from it a stronger (or weaker but more experienced) nation. Sir Clement Apricot-Wilson, Permanent Secretary The Department of Unforeseen Circumstances

Young people are walking away from the church and those still in the church often struggle with indifference about their faith. But it doesn't have to be this way. It's time for a revolution, a holy uprising. A riot. With passion and authenticity, teen author Sara Barratt calls on her generation to reject apathy and embrace a daring, costly faith. Not content with safe religion that demands nothing of us, Sara shows teens how they can stop giving in to the status quo and devote themselves fully to Christ, following him no matter what their friends do or the culture around them does. She challenges them to give everything over--their comfort zones, their time, their loyalties, their pride--and discover that in losing control they are gaining the life that was meant for them all along. Love Riot is a battle cry from one teen to another to embrace a life of wholehearted commitment and relentless abandon for Christ . . . no matter the cost.

A WELL-ARTICULATED MEMOIR OF A LIFE IN THE CIVIL SERVICE Civil servants are the permanent executive—a bulwark of stability as regimes and policies change. They are small cogs in the large machinery that is the Indian state, yet indispensable for its efficient running. Naresh Nandan Prasad was one such cog in the wheel and an extraordinary one at that. He had the rare privilege of working in three states: Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. From this uncommon vantage point, he looks back on a long, storied career and, through that examination, investigates the role of a civil servant in the life of a nation. Beginning with his training days at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration and his life as a young administrator caught in the hurly-burly of Indian politics, Small Cogs in a Large Wheel is an account of Prasad’s life. It examines his time in the corridors of power in Delhi and his international stints with the United Nations. Capturing the many experiences of one man’s career, the book records the political through the personal. A candid account of an exceptional career, this is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the life of a civil servant in India, the role of the country’s civil service and the complex maze of the world of multilateral diplomacy.
