A poignant, heart-lifting graphic memoir about anorexia, eating disorders and the journey to recovery Like most kids, Katie was a picky eater. She’d sit at the table in silent protest, hide uneaten toast in her bedroom, listen to parental threats that she’d have to eat it for breakfast. But in any life a set of circumstance can collide, and normal behaviour might soon shade into something sinister, something deadly. Lighter Than My Shadow is a hand-drawn story of struggle and recovery, a trip into the black heart of a taboo illness, an exposure of those who are so weak as to prey on the vulnerable, and an inspiration to anybody who believes in the human power to endure towards happiness. ‘Even at its most heartbreaking it never feels sombre ... Inspiring, plucky and, in the end, consoling, it’s hard to put down’ Observer

"This book is a testament to the power we have in the creation of our own lives and the lives of all living things in the world around us. Every step we take, we are on an unconscious quest for the pieces of our selves that we left behind so long ago. We have allowed our inner wisdom to be overshadowed by those who we choose to vies as the directors or authorities in our lives. The release of our own power, in favor of what we believe is expected of us by whomever we label our authority, binds us in chains. Our torment and suffering become far reaching and can actually destroy us, leaving us ablivious to the true reality in our own lives and teh role we play in its creation. On our path to wholeness we are unaware that we first seek that which we deny in ourselves, leaving us in pain or numb, longing for the fullness of love. It is only when we embrace every piece of ourselves that we will rediscover that from the beginning, we were always whole and complete and we need not journey away from ourselves to find peace. This book defines one person's journey inward, leading to teh enlightened path where relentless suffering comes to an end, and reveals the key to living a life fully free from Fear and Control. This revelation...forever allows us to experience the Love and Freedom that has always been awaiting us. In finding our sholeness and freedom within ourselves, we discover something even more powerful; we realize that each of us as individuals is a reflection of the world as a whole. It is our decision to remain asleep, unconscious to the abuse we allow in our lives, that keeps us fragmented and wounded. It is time to awaken to all pieces of ourselves, and unite them in wholeness to rediscover that omnipotent power within us, and remember how to ignite that power to create an entire world-at peace."--back cover.

A stunning, powerful debut novel set against the backdrop of the Cambodian War, perfect for fans of Chris Cleave and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie For seven-year-old Raami, the shattering end of childhood begins with the footsteps of her father returning home in the early dawn hours bringing details of the civil war that has overwhelmed the streets of Phnom Penh, Cambodia's capital. Soon the family's world of carefully guarded royal privilege is swept up in the chaos of revolution and forced exodus. Over the next four years, as she endures the deaths of family members, starvation, and brutal forced labour, Raami clings to the only remaining vestige of childhood - the mythical legends and poems told to her by her father. In a climate of systematic violence where memory is sickness and justification for execution, Raami fights for her improbable survival. Displaying the author's extraordinary gift for language, In the Shadow of the Banyanis testament to the transcendent power of narrative and a brilliantly wrought tale of human resilience. 'In the Shadow of the Banyanis one of the most extraordinary and beautiful acts of storytelling I have ever encountered' Chris Cleave, author of The Other Hand 'Ratner is a fearless writer, and the novel explores important themes such as power, the relationship between love and guilt, and class. Most remarkably, it depicts the lives of characters forced to live in extreme circumstances, and investigates how that changes them. To read In the Shadow of the Banyan is to be left with a profound sense of being witness to a tragedy of history' Guardian 'This is an extraordinary debut … as beautiful as it is heartbreaking' Mail on Sunday
“Always preach to broken hearts and you will never lack for a congregation,” an old saying goes. And for that reason, this book is for everyone—because there are many, many things that break our hearts. Sicknesses, spiritual depression, disabilities, painful memories, strained relationships... all of these weigh on Christians’ hearts at one time or another. And even when our hearts feel light, there is a longing that runs through us—a crying of the soul for eternity, for a new heavens and a new earth. Yet even in the midst of our heartache, we know there is a faith that comes from Jesus Christ that not only encourages us through our pain, but can even transform our pain... as long as we let it. And here is a collection of warm, pastoral messages, filled with personal illustration, that does just that: helps the brokenhearted Christian to locate the God of all comfort in the center of all pain. We are not left there, either; Mike Milton takes us a step further to see how the gospel actually transforms our private pain into personal praise. So read and discover how God uses the things that seek to destroy us to become the very things that bring us salvation, bring us hope, bring us to prayer, bring us together, and ultimately bring us to heaven.
