Groomed. Gaslighted. Ghosted.They thought they'd found their soulmate. They had no idea he was spying on them.These five motivated, independent women each thought they'd met their perfect partner - someone who shared their values, ambitions and goals.But after a while, in some cases years later, the men started to behave strangely. They disappeared for weeks at a time, saying they needed to go away to clear their heads. Small details about their lives didn't quite fit. Then they vanished, leaving a note saying that the relationship was over.These men were undercover police officers, who had targeted the women for their links to activist groups. They took the identities of dead children and carried fake passports and driving licences. They were all married, some with children. They had been working from a set of guidelines and were all using the same manipulative techniques.This is the story of five women whose lives were stolen by state-sponsored spies, and who, one by one, uncovered the shocking truth.

Have you ever wondered what our pets were thinking when we suddenly had to shelter in place? This story begins with the family pet Schnauzer, waking up to utter silence on the day of the NYC COVID-19 shutdown. He is in complete confusion as the minutes and hours go by, disrupting his daily schedule."Why Are My Humans Home Today?" was inspired by the shutdown of the pandemic of 2020, when families (and their pets), friends, and neighbors drew closer together, and learned to appreciate each other and the more important things in life.

Lisa Cressman, founder of Backstory Preaching, offers preachers tools to craft difficult sermon messages that can be heard. The gospel changes lives, but to do that it must first be heard. For it to be heard, people have to trust they are seen and their concerns and fears are acknowledged. They have to feel their perspectives are real, valid, and respected. Preachers have a difficult message to preach, a message many will not want to hear: new life always emerges from death. Cressman shows preachers how to craft sermons with the right tone and how to have the courage to say what you're called to say.Part 1 of the book provides the preparatory work needed before crafting those difficult sermon messages. Here the focus is on how preachers prepare themselves, build relationships of mutual trust with listeners, and understand and appropriately use authority and leadership to proclaim the gospel.Part 2 focuses on the sermon itself with suggestions on what to say and how to say it. The preacher will find new tools and sharpen existing ones to preach difficult messages with empathy, compassion, and skill.

Includes unique insight into the lives of working class women in Wales.
