A funny book about a serious subject, Unruly is for anyone who has ever wondered how we got here - and who is to blame.

THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER'Clever, amusing, gloriously bizarre and razor sharp. Mitchell – a funny man and skilled historian – tells stories that are interesting and fun. Here is Horrible Histories for grownups’ GERARD DEGROOT, THE TIMES 'Just fantastic. Delightfully contrary and hilariously cantankerous. Very, very funny’ JESSE ARMSTRONG, CREATOR OF SUCCESSION AND PEEP SHOW'Clever, funny. Makes you think quite differently about history’ DAN SNOW, HISTORIAN AND BROADCASTER ---- Think you know your kings and queens? Think again.

Taking us right back to King Arthur (spoiler: he didn't exist), Unruly tells the founding story of post-Roman England up to the reign of Elizabeth I (spoiler: she dies). It's a tale of narcissists, inadequate self-control, excessive beheadings, middle-management insurrection, uncivil wars, and at least one total Cnut. How this happened, who it happened to and why it matters in modern Britain are all questions David Mitchell answers with brilliance, wit and the full erudition of a man who once studied history – and won't let it off the hook for the mess it's made.

*The Times Number One Bestseller October 2023* ----‘An enjoyable, rollicking read, definitely not a conventional history book’ THE TIMES‘Chatty, irreverent and liberally sprinkled with gags and opinions. Horrible Histories with added swearing’ GUARDIAN 'Mitchell clearly knows his history, with a book that owes as much to Monty Python as it does to Simon Schama' ANDREW MARR, BROADCASTER 'Who knew a history of England's rulers could be this hilarious?' i 'I can’t recommend this book enough. Very funny and interesting, it is above all a proper work of history' CHARLIE HIGSON

A small book but a true gem!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Max Lucado’s “God Will Use This for Good” is an excellent book that I highly recommend. It’s only 47 pages but the words carry a very strong message for those of us who feel helplessness in our lives. I purchased it because it’s a feeling I have. This book has reminded me time & time again, as I remember what I’ve read or I reread it. It’s an easy read. The book begins with a prayer which I included pictures of. There are 4 short chapters that follow, a response page & finally with uplifting scriptures. The focus of the book is on Joseph, the Son of Jacob. His story is told in the Bible. His Father adored him above his Brothers which in turn made his Brothers hate him. They hated him so much they threw him in a pit they were certain he would die in. Mr. Lucado writes this book with the focus on strength Joseph had to endure 20 years in this pit, as written in the Bible. At the age of 37 he became much more than a 17yo boy thrown in a bottomless pit. Why? He believed. This story is reflected onto us who face dark days. Mr. Lucado writes that God will get us THROUGH these times. THROUGH is a common word in many scriptures. It’s further written that “You’ll get through this. It won’t be painless. It won’t be quick. But God will use this mess for good. In the meantime don’t be foolish or naive. But don’t despair either. With God’s help you will get through this.” The big question is asked do you trust God? If you do Mr. Lucado makes it as easy as A-B-C. “Admit your wrongdoing. Believe that Jesus is who he says he is. Commit your life to his cause.” The response page allows you to reflect a prayer & to sign off. It’s a wonderful ending to a book that carries a powerful message. I feel that message is that God will get me THROUGH my difficult times & I truly believe this because I’m a child of Jesus, the Son of God. I have certain pages highlighted which I flip to easily. If I’m in true need I read the entire book. I can’t write enough on how much this has benefited me at the cost of under $5.00. I feel if you can relate to anything I’ve written, you will greatly benefit from this book.

God Promises
Format: Kindle
The message in “Surviving the Mess of Life” by Max Lucado is well worth reading. It reminded me that no matter what I’m going through or how messed up my life is, the importance to stop and remember Gods’ promises in the Bible.
