Uncluttered Faith
A transformative guide to experiencing the fullness of God's promises through the power of minimalism, from the bestselling author of The More of Less and The Minimalist HomeRooted in the teachings of Jesus, Uncluttered Faith argues that true spiritual fulfilment and abundant life are found not in accumulation but in simplicity and generosity. Weaving together personal stories, biblical teachings and practical advice, Becker shows how worldly treasures can hinder your relationship with God and your potential in His Kingdom. He shares his journey towards minimalism, a path he began nearly two decades ago that has since revealed numerous spiritual promises, emphasising that Jesus's teaching to give away possessions is not about deprivation, but rather the formula to experience purpose, passion, fulfilment and meaning, in this life. Uncluttered Faith is more than a guide for your personal growth; it casts a bold vision for the Church to collectively embrace minimalism and reach its full potential, ultimately leading to a life that is not only personally fulfilling but also impactful for eternity.

Railsong
'Magnificent' KAMILA SHAMSIE'Majestic yet profoundly tender' MEGHA MAJUMDAR A breathtaking novel about a woman forging a life for herself on the railways, Railsong is the story of an individual coming of age amid the social and political upheavals of twentieth-century India. In a newly independent India charged with national vigour, Charu, the motherless daughter of a railway worker, pines for freedom from the shackles of her impoverishment and meagre prospects. As diesel engines replace steam and the calamitous churn of drought, famine and a great strike engulfs her town, Charu dares to imagine a different future for herself. She boards a train and flees westwards, leaving behind the oppressive domesticity of her childhood for the alluring modernity, and apparent opportunities, of Bombay. Unfazed by the everyday discriminations around her, she becomes an unlikely hero: a railway woman and census enumerator who keeps her heart open —sometimes guilelessly — to her nation’s vast possibility. Sweeping, elegiac and at times wonderfully comic, Railsong is a powerful portrait of grit, optimism and the force of character that enables one remarkable woman to live on her own terms in a country full of contradictions.

The Rebel Romanov
To Queen Victoria she was Aunt Julie; to Catherine the Great she was Grand Duchess Anna Feodorovna, granddaughter-in-law. This is the story of Princess Juliane-Henriette-Ulrike of Saxe-Coburg, the Rebel Romanov.
Born in 1781 in a small impoverished duchy of Germany, Julie's quiet life took a fairy-tale turn when she married into the Russian Imperial Family - the Romanovs. But this world of baroque splendour, of opulent palaces and grandeur, was no happily ever after. Taken to Russia at just fourteen, her marriage was hastily brokered to save the Saxe-Coburg duchy from financial ruin. Her husband, Grand Duke Konstantin, was cruel and abusive, Julie was uprooted from her home, family, language and culture.
As Russia and Europe were thrown into tumult by the murder of Emperor Paul and the rise of Napoleon, Julie finally made her escape back to Germany, where she lived for two decades as a social pariah, denied a divorce by the Imperial Family. Forced to give up two illegitimate children to protect her family's honour, she eventually built a life for herself in Switzerland, where she entertained poets and philosophers, regaling them with tales from the Russian court.
Helen Rappaport recreates the extraordinary life of this forgotten figure. In doing so she sheds new light on the Romanovs, reveals the sacrifices Julie made to further her family's interests - her brother became king of Belgium, her sister gave birth to Queen Victoria - and investigates the true nature of Julie's relationship with Tsar Alexander I. Rich in history, drama and royal intrigue, Julie's remarkable story is told at last.
