See! Let's Be ME!
By Gemma Hunt
A themed storybook about children's emotions to encourage young children to overcome jealousy and anger, bring joy, find peace, and learn to persevere through imitative behaviour.
Explore how to manage strong feelings and emotions with young children. Children can struggle to understand and express their emotions and feelings. This picture book, containing five different stories, helps them to relate to the children's experiences in the book and then see how best to deal with these feelings. They will also know that whatever they are experiencing and going through, they are loved and valued.

In this delightfully witty and uplifting book, thirty-something Lauren Windle shines a light on the trials and tribulations – and sometimes also the triumphs – of the world of Christian dating.
This is not a how-to guide.
Like having a coffee with your mates while you pore over your profile matches, heartbreaks and hilarious mishaps, Notes on Love draws on Lauren's own experiences of being single and dating in the Church to offer a funny, insightful and open-hearted collection of musings on the absurdity, messiness, pain and joy of it all.
With notes on ‘How to first date’ and ‘A million ways to meet people’ to ‘Disappointment’ and ‘Schrodinger’s boyfriend’, as well as looking at how you can find true love with yourself, your friends and family and above all in Christ, Notes on Love is a thought-provoking exploration of Christian relationships in the Church today.
Notes on Feminism
By Lauren Windle
Can I truly be a feminist and still go to church - not just in theory but in practice? Can I speak up in a religion that has a history of silencing women? And do I really need to ‘submit’ to my husband or ‘protect’ the guys in Church from lusting after my body?...
The hot topic of feminism has been well documented and debated in mainstream media and yet, as Christians we come to the conversation from a slightly different vantage point. For starters, we have the benefit of a personal relationship with our creator plus the ultimate handbook in the Bible to work out what is right and just when it comes to equality.
So why do many Christians feel the Bible presents a barrier rather than a boost when it comes to championing equality between the sexes?
In Notes on Feminism, Lauren Windle draws upon her years as a journalist to weave together different voices on a topic that countless are wrestling with, but few are brave enough to probe and poke for fear of what we might find.
