Newly published this month is Mark Rimmington's book, In the Wilderness of Spirits. In the book, Mark describes his journey through life, with temptation and evil exerting their presence and seeking to corrupt his soul whilst he was trying to find God. The journey was often troubled and twisted.
It is also a story of redemption, finding a greater peace of mind, true love and a firm faith in God.
Profits from the sale of the book will go the The Cambridge Churches Homeless Project.

During the last year, it has sometimes been hard to find things to talk about, especially with loved ones who are becoming a little forgetful or have early dementia or Alzheimer's. This range of puzzle books, published in collaboration with Bright Old Sparks, is for sharing and sparking some of those hidden memories.
Our latest puzzle book is themed around sport - ideal for a summer full of football, tennis and - hopefully - Olympics. To order a copy and to find out more, email [email protected]
