Russian President Vladimir Orlov has awoken the old, ugly Russian bear for some 19th Century conquests in its former Soviet neighbor's territory. He has a trump card in the East by the name of Sergeev. A veteran of the wars in Georgia, Chechnya and Bosnia, Sergeev is a native of Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine and the mastermind of the separatist movement. He is the only reason the war has not ended and Ukraine has not been able to move ahead full throttle with its accession to the European Union. If the US can take out Sergeev, they can save Ukraine, or so the narrative goes. Enter Jack Stein, a seasoned intelligence agent for the Center, the US's top security agency. Stein knows Ukraine well from his early days as an agent. He draws on his broad network in and outside the country to locate Sergeev and take him out. In the process, he has to deal with Ukraine's battered security service, the SBU, paramilitary groups like Derecha and Kerch Brigade and Russia's FSB, not to mention regular Ukrainian and Russian armies and the politicians who run them. There are competing US interests that put his mission in danger. And then there's Dasha, the beautiful double agent. Who can Stein trust as he navigates across enemy lines? Will his mission be successful? What will he do with some shocking intel he discovers about his own country's officials? Operation Ukraine will keep you on the edge of your seat as you follow Stein on this most dangerous mission.

As someone is involved in that conversation I have seen it change and now, more than ever, the produce that is available to the keen home cook has increased in variety and quality immensely. What this means is that the home cook is now faced with the fantastic situation of being able to source the produce needed to make great food all year round. It is important that this movement progresses, and that if we choose to source our meat, fish and other major ingredients from Britain, why not have fun with world food concepts?"

Christian faith starts with Jesus Christ who said 'I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.' This is a book both for the enquirer and for the committed Christian who is growing towards a more informed belief. In Christ All Things Hold Together asserts the truth of the Christ who was the Son of God, who cares for us, who shared our humanity and who rose from death--a truth dependent, not on irrational faith, but on the revelation of the Gospel.
