Having lost the love of my life and feeling my world had ended, I asked God, "Lord, is this all you have for my life?" and two weeks later, Canon Andrew White, the vicar of Baghdad, asked me to ring. I didn't know him but I rang and he asked me if I had heard of Saddam Hussein and explained that the judge who sentenced him to death, minster of justice for Iraq, Mr Raouf was coming to Spires Hospital Southampton for an operation and God told him I was to host him and his family. I thought it was windup, but I was to find out it was true...and this began a journey and friendships that are still ongoing ten years later. Read the story and find out what happened.

Every morning, these women put food on the table, braid their daughters' hair, and send them to schools. They have hope for the future but this is the Mumbai of dreams. On a wet wintry ni...

Plastic
Did you know that every single minute of the day, a truck load of plastic is dumped in our oceans? Did you know that by the time you are an adult there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish? Did you know that sea animals can't tell the difference between food and plastic? Even if you didn't know all those facts about plastic that's OK, but here are some more questions. Do you care about your oceans, and rivers, and seas? Do you want to help the creatures that live there? Do you want them to live on our planet forever and ever? Do you think that plastic is a bad thing to have in the ocean? If you say yes to all those questions, then you will love reading about what happens to the animals when they eat plastic, and what you might be able to do to save them.

The Belt Boy
Kevin Lueshing's tears fell freely as he lifted boxing's coveted Lonsdale Belt. Weeping openly at ringside, Lueshing had just won the fight of the year. But his tears were not tears of joy. They were the stain of a sinister secret he had kept hidden for a lifetime. The former British champion was living the dream. People called him 'The Look'. But behind the glory and the glitz, Lueshing's innocence had already been butchered, his hope crippled and his soul shattered. For the first time, he has rediscovered the strength and courage of a champion to tell his harrowing story. The Belt Boy is a completely true account of a brutal life kept hidden. Shocking, explicit, traumatic, Kevin's autobiography exposes a hideous crime and its utterly devastating legacy. He writes: ""I risk being judged, but I never want anyone to suffer what I went through. That is my motivation for writing this book."" ""Kevin's account of childhood abuse is truly shocking and disturbing. Like a true champion, he has displayed incredible strength and bravery to reveal the horrific ordeal he suffered. His book needs to be read so we may all stay alert to this evil crime"" - NIGEL BENN
