Living on the Circle line isn't as much fun as you might think; unless you like rat-burger and frog soup. Civil war has left London in ruins. Years ago, those who couldn't get out retreated into the Underground network, leaving London Topside to disease, packs of wild dogs, and the Scavengers. Now their children are teenagers, and the Underground has got too small for them. Guns are outlawed by the Tobies, but crews from different stations find other ways to fight for what's left. The 'Baker Street Irregulars' get badly burnt by the Paddington 'Bears', and Johny, Callum and Kitty find themselves travelling through some strange and dangerous places in a quest to find a new way of life in what remains of the city. Johny trusts himself to the Ferryman's boat, and travels down-river to fulfil a promise to his dead mother. In doing so he discovers that sometimes it's just our own Fear that keeps us hiding in the dark.

In the "Adventures of Redman Red" we have a glimpse into a strangely familiar world - Planet Earth a few years from now. Fuel is worth more than gold, the sea levels have risen dramatically, and most of the remaining human population live fearful, conformist lives in isolated, self-sufficient city-states, run by sophisticated, but increasingly paranoid, artificial intelligences. Outside, the marginalised and cast-out have reverted to a happier, tribal existence; as the neglected countryside has reverted to lush wilderness. The one-legged ex-biker Red, and the colourful but believable characters that he meets on his travels: Monk, Rabbit, Dion, Blank Frank, Doc Doom, the Avatar and the Surfys, act out universal stories of betrayal and redemption, love and death, karma and change, against the backdrop of this dreamscape. This is a novel built for speed rather than comfort: the fast-paced action and dialogue keeps the motor running, and there are laughs and a few tears; but ultimately (and playfully) it brings us back to ourselves, face to face with the mystery.

Ex-spouses Paul and Polly Butler write murder mysteries together. They act out the crimes in Paul's apartment: poisoned chocolates and lethal martinis, alibis and fingerprints, bodies in a trunk and bodies all tied up, daggers, guns and even an axe all contribute to the hilarity. Nobody gets hurt, but their egos take some hits as they find that their marriage was mixed up with their work. There are many fast paced comic twists as they attempt to outdo and surprise each other and they learn that marriage, like murder, is in the details. The final witty complication is a real murder which they and the audience should have seen coming. This murderously funny two character comedy is by the author of Accommodations.

Let Jesus Be Your Reset Do you want to make a difference with your life, but you're having trouble moving on from your past? "Follow me," Jesus told his early followers, "and I'll show you life as it was meant to be lived." Nick Hall reminds us that Jesus says the same thing to us today: "Come to me dirty, and I'll clean you up. Come broken, and I'll reassemble the parts. Come desperate, and I'll replace pain with joy. Come to me with all your questions, all your confusion, all your fear. I can reset your purity, your self-image, your faith. Come." Reset is an invitation to a second chance-a do-over-to get beyond past missteps and failures and present confusion and discontent. Whether your struggle has been with such things as faith, hope, purity, habits, plans, self-image, or relationships, Nick Hall looks to God's Word to address the traps we fall into and clarify the practical ways we can get out. Whatever has been holding you back, a reset is available to you by the grace of God. Say yes to the life you were meant to live.

Who doesn't need some type of reset in their lives? For believers and seekers alike, it starts with a prayer for a fresh start. The reset then continues as they dig into Scripture and discover a passion to share their story and Jesus with those around them. This 5" x 7" book by Nick Hall is great for visitor centers, new members' classes, and for church members to give as an outreach tool.
