1. Why Being Yourself is a Bad Idea by Graham Tomlin
Not only for her, but for anyone seeking to make sense of life - and not afraid to go against the grain.
In this book Graham Tomlin dares us to let go of some of the assumptions we make about life. Drawing on current research, contemporary events and ancient wisdom, he offers an invitation to journey to places we may never have imagined before. In doing so, he vividly reveals how the revolution that Christianity began can still make remarkable sense of our experience of wonder, love, evil, justice, identity and freedom.
2. The Spiritual Formation of Evelyn Underhill by Robyn Wrigley-Carr
For those who have already encountered Underhill and Von Hugel, but want to go deeper.
The publication of Evelyn Underhill’s Prayer Book in 2018 sparked renewed interest in one of the most significant Christian writers of the twentieth century.
What lay behind Evelyn Underhill’s spiritual formation? Robyn Wrigley-Carr’s fascinating original research reveals the great influence of Baron Friedrich von Hügel, to whom, Evelyn wrote, ‘I owe . . . my whole spiritual life’.
3. Baby Change by Anne Calver
I wish Dianne and I had access to this book in the early years!

Anne uses examples from her own struggle, together with biblical insights and other people’s experiences, to help you know you are not alone. A droll and insightful companion for all who wrestle with parenthood.

5. The Cromwell Enigma by Derek Wilson
For fans of historical fiction.
July 1540: the shock news of Cromwell’s fall reaches the court of Margaret of Navarre, sister of Francis I of France and arguably the most cultured woman north of the Alps. She sends her courtier and poet, Nicolas Bourbon, an avid reformer with many friends in English court circles, to find out what is happening.
6. The Comparison Trap by Helen Roberts
Getting one of these for all the women in my life! - Amazon Review
What would happen, asks Helen Roberts, if women ceased to compete and compare? What if we settled our conflicts and resolved instead to champion one another? To celebrate each other’s victories?
In The Comparison Trap Helen explores the complexities of female relationships in workplaces, families and friendship circles, using contemporary, historical, personal and biblical examples.
7. Equality is Biblical by Penelope Wilcock
A fresh and very helpful look at the issue of equality for the everyday Christian. - Tola Doll Fisher, Woman Alive
Women have proved their equality with men in leadership, scholarship and exercising spiritual gifts, but traditional interpretations of Scripture mean that leadership is still viewed by many as the preserve of men. Penelope Wilcock argues that Christ's new and living way leads us out of all forms of dominance and subjugation, including imprisonment within gender roles.
8. Still Standing by Tola Doll Fisher
100 lessons from an awe-inspiring debut author.
What do you do when life hasn’t turned out the way you expected? When it feels like everyone else has it together but you’re still figuring it out? And if God is meant to be your guide, why do you feel so lost?
Tola Doll Fisher has asked these questions countless times and still doesn’t have the answers. But as she explains in this series of 100 ‘life lessons’ maybe that’s okay…
9. Utterly Brilliant! by Timmy Mallett
For those wanting to read about a journey full of warmth, colour, and humour.
Utterly Brilliant!: My Life’s Journey is a moving autobiography of courage and determination in the face of heartache. With humour and honesty Timmy tells of his pilgrimage along a route travelled by so many over the centuries, weaving together history and personal stories in a hugely entertaining manner.
