Nestled between the devastation of Good Friday and the joy of Resurrection Sunday is the confusion, anger, and hopelessness of Holy Saturday. It is a reminder that most of our lives are lived in this middle space-after something has ended but the new has not yet begun. How do we navigate the uncertainty and pain of living in the space between what once was and what will be? How do we walk by faith when the future is dark and unclear? With real-life examples, author and pastor Mike Brown helps us understand what it means to wait on God.¿¿ This honest and insightful book will help you:¿ Experience comfort and hope when you feel lost.¿ Discover how God is at work between endings and new beginnings.¿ Be encouraged and equipped to better engage with Jesus during dry seasons in life.¿ Learn how the small disciplines of silence, stillness, and meditation keep us tethered to God in the wilderness of waiting.

With the advent of the World War ll, millions of men were torn from their homes and plunged into the impersonal surroundings of the barrack room. They took with them a few personal belongings to remind them of home, and to make their 'space' a little more welcoming. These included photos of loved ones and of course, pin-ups.

Glossop's existence as a village, manor, dale, township and borough is recorded since the eleventh century, although 'Glotts Hop' is named somewhat earlier. With the Industrial Revolution and the rise of the Cotton Industry, what we know as the town of Glossop came into existence. In over 40 mills, imported cotton was then spun into yarn and woven into cloth, calico was printed and paper was made and these industries provided employment for the area we call Glossopdale. Photographs and similar images, available from the late nineteenth century onward, show a dark and gloomy environment dominated by the many tall mill buildings and chimneys which are darkened by the mixture of low cloud and smoke trapped in the valley. In the new images here almost everywhere is brighter, cleaner and greener and though some open vistas may have gone, other scenes are impossible to match as dense woodland has taken the place of buildings.

Despite the fact that the sea covers 70 per cent of the Earth's surface, and is integral to the workings of the world, it has been perceived as marginal in modern consciousness. This title disrupts notions of the sea as 'other', as foreign and featureless, through accounts which highlight the centrality of the sea for the individuals concerned.

An in-depth look at the experience of the civilian life of Britain throughout the four momentous years of World War 1, including volunteering and conscription, women's changing roles, shortages, food queues, rationing, `standard' clothes, air-raids and everyday life, all illustrated by contemporary artefacts, photographs and illustrations.

On 3 September 1939, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain sat tensely at a microphone, using radio to declare that ''this country is at war with Germany''. During the ensuing wartime years, the BBC was the sole radio broadcaster in Britain, boosting morale through programes such as ''ITMA'' and ''Worker''s Playtime''; helping the Home Front with useful hints and advice; transmitting government messages; and providing news. Personalities and stars became household names--Tommy Handley, Arthur Askey, Ethel and Doris Walters, Mr Middleton--and their catchphrases could be heard everywhere. And yet, as this fascinating book explains, the BBC chose to avoid propaganda, and had to tread a fine line between what the people wanted to hear and what it was felt they should hear.

The 1960s have gone down in history as the swinging sixties; when the permissive society swept the UK in a haze of mini-skirts, psychedelic art, festivals and 'love-ins'. In this book, we look at some of the main aspects of living in Britain at the time; how we lived, worked, played and shopped, what we ate, wore, drove, watched and listened to.

Mike Brown's fully illustrated narrative captures what life was really like for children in Britain during the Second World War.

World War II affected every aspect of life on the British home front. From food rationing to air-raid shelters to war work, those left at home had to make huge changes in their day-to-day lives as Britain mobilised, economised, and saved in the name of Victory. This title looks at what these changes actually meant for families.

Contrary to the Hollywood-style romanticism of popular novels and films, the Second World War was more than courage on the battlefield, plucky defiance and doomed love affairs. Family and civilian life had to go on.

As the last days of peace ebbed away in 1939 and the outbreak of the Second World War appeared inevitable, a massive exodus took place in Britain: nearly two million civilians, most of them children, were taken from the cities, industrial towns and ports to the relative safety of the British countryside.
