Millionaire orphan YY DeLisle has it all - four passports, a trust fund in Switzerland and a semi-legitimate fireworks business, operating from a Victorian sea-fort in the English Channel. Unfortunately, the record company that used to own the fort left something in the cellars that powerful forces in the US establishment will kill to get their hands on. YY and his companions - failed ex-safe-cracker Holygod Raskolnikov and wild-child tabloid princess Minty Foxxe - must dodge exploding shisha pipes, decapitated drummers and psychotic rogue agents from the shadowy SCUM organisation to discover the secret before the whole thing blows up...Light blue touch-paper, and jump right in!

A YY DeLisle Story

Hangfire

Mi plan en este libro es muy simple. En primer lugar, quisiera estudiar tres palabras que nos indican qué fue lo que hizo nuestro Señor Jesús al morir en la cruz: redención, reconciliación y propiciación. Son palabras que cualquier cristiano conoce, pero ¿qué significan en realidad? ¿Es posible entender su verdadero significado? Yo creo que sí. En segundo lugar, quiero buscar la respuesta a una pregunta que escuchamos con frecuencia: ¿Por quién murió Cristo? Cuando alguien pregunta ¿Por quién murió Cristo?, inmediatamente nos damos cuenta de que la respuesta depende de lo que hizo el Señor Jesús al morir. Y en cualquier caso, ¿qué tipo de acción es la expiación? Enseguida nos encontramos de frente con aquellas tres palabras que he mencionado antes, así que creo que lo mejor es seguir el plan que he trazado.

National Theatre Connections is an annual festival which brings new plays for young people to schools and youth theatres across the UK and Ireland. Commissioning exciting work from leading playwrights, the festival exposes actors aged 13-19 to the world of professional theatre-making, giving them full control of a theatrical production - from costume and set design to stage management and marketing campaigns. NT Connections have published over 150 original plays and regularly works with 500 theatre companies and 10,000 young people each year. This anthology brings together 10 new plays by some of the UK's most prolific and current writers and artists alongside notes on each of the texts exploring performance for schools and youth groups. Salt Life is never plain sailing, but when a new government initiative comes into place offering young people the chance to train and learn skills overseas, droves of teens jump at the chance to secure their future.

Bitter rivalries, secret alliances and false promises are laid bare. As a ruthless battle ensues, who will win and does anyone really care? A play about politics, populism and the 'ping' of a text message. The Sad Club This is a musical about depression and anxiety.

A play about trying (but not really managing) to help. Flesh A group of teenagers wake up in a forest with no clue how they got there. They find themselves separated into two different teams but have no idea what game they are expected to play.

New Covenant Theology

The word 'home' brings with it a cluster of ideas, sucj as love, security, discipline, warmth and commitment. At the heart of 'home' is not a place or a building, but a right relation to someone, who will give you the things that you need while loving you. 'Home' in that sense was God's idea, and the home and family, at their best, are models for man's ideal relationship with God, but sin came in and changed all that. Now there is a homelessness which applied to the whole human race and of which each of us is a part. But God did not leave it there. He still brings men and women back to himself, and he has a place for his family, where they will be truly at home with himself and his Son Jesus Christ for ever. In simple, clear language, this book shows us the way back to God and urges us to 'come home to God....for ever'. It is a book to read and to give to non-Christian friends. The author is well-known for his Evangelistic books.

Finding the Goal of Life

Come Home for Ever

An irresistibly funny and tender play about big dreams and small changes. Amid the dreaming, the dramas and the dirty dishes, something has to give. But will it be Kath or the kitchen sink? Things aren't going to plan for one family in Withernsea, Yorkshire. Pieces are falling off Martin's milk float as quickly as he's losing customers and something's up with Kath's kitchen sink. Billy is pinning his hopes of a place at art college on a revealing portrait of Dolly Parton, whilst Sophie's dreams of becoming a ju-jitsu teacher might be disappearing down the plughole. This volume also includes the monologue Spacewang, in which a teenage girl roams the streets of Withernsea in search of aliens.

The Kitchen Sink

The War Within: America’s Battle over Vietnam is a painfully engrossing and popularly written account of how the battle on the home front ended America’s least popular war. This absorbing narrative, hailed by critics of every persuasion, is the fruit of over a decade’s worth of research: the author sifted through mountains of government documents, press coverage, and transcripts of interviews he conducted with virtually all of the key players, both inside the U.S. government and among the dissenters who eventually brought the war to an end. In these pages the antiwar era comes to life through the words of scores of participants, both the famous and the forgotten, who speak with candor and passion about this tumultuous period. A remarkable story of a powerful grassroots movement and its influence on officials in Washington.

America's Battle Over Vietnam

The War Within

A charmingly offbeat, surreal comedy of knitting, penguins and Battenberg. Stitch is hitting the gay scene of Hull. Or at least dipping his toe in the water, while staying with his heavily pregnant sister Liz and her shabby sofa-loving partner Mark. But why won’t Stitch let anyone into the bathroom even though Liz is dying for a pee? And who is the man in the giant penguin costume? This volume also features two monologues by Tom Wells, About a Goth and Notes for First Time Astronauts.
