From the Heart brings together a rich selection of articles by Rob Parsons, one the UK's best-loved Christian authors. Most of these were written for his monthly column in Premier Christianity magazine where he shared his thoughts about some of the things that matter to him most.

But it's not all sweetness and light: there are some things that not only make him sad, but angry. Topics include: - Nasty Christians - Dare to be Vulnerable - Deal or No Deal? - Disappointment with God - God's Will According to Cyril - Worry Wars - The Strugglers' Group 'From the Heart is searingly honest and wonderfully encouraging. I absolutely loved it!' - Cathy Madavan, author of Irrepressible
This novel tells the story of Anna, a young Englishwoman, who is drawn to Russia partly out of curiosity, to witness the "proletarian experiment," and partly by Otto, a glamorous but untrustworthy newspaper editor. She often had the impression of being imprisoned within a maze. She is preparing to leave Russia and return to England because she has nothing left to keep her there. But she hasn't factored in the surroundings of that closed country, which is already getting on her nerves. Anna is trapped and dazed by the Soviet Union's bewildering underhanded tactics as delays pile up. Will she ever leave Russia for England?
