Kathleen Hey spent the war years helping her sister and brother-in-law run a grocery shop in the Yorkshire town of Dewsbury. From July 1941 to July 1946, she kept a diary for the Mass Observation Project, recording the thoughts and concerns of the people who used the shop. Among the chorus of voices she brings us, Kathleen herself shines through as a strong and engaging woman who refuses to give in to doubts or misery and who maintains her keen sense of humour, even under the most trying conditions.

The Revised Geneva Translation of the Holy Bible is a faithful 21st century update to the Geneva Bible of the 1500's, the very first widely-distributed Bible in English. It is specifically designed to be spoken and heard, repeatedly, and is built on the premise that a crucial key to revival in the present can be found in one simple practice from the past: speaking God's Word back to each other in community.
