Living Generously is a new resource from the Church of Scotland to promote a whole-life approach to Christian stewardship. Its holistic approach comes from a perspective of abundance rather than scarcity, and invites readers to reflect on God’s goodness and the resources we have at our disposal, both personally and collectively in our churches. It offers a practical and positive alternative at a time of anxiety about decline. It explores how we recognise and steward gifts in twelve different areas: God • Vision • Relationships • Volunteers • Gifts • Time • Money • Possessions • Generations • Body • Mind • Earth. A range of contributors offers real life examples of the impact of effective and generous stewardship. Reflection and conversation around each theme are facilitated by prompts and discussion starters, making this a practical book for both individual and group engagement.

A fast-paced international spy thriller, Precision Kill focuses on the experiences of Alexander Sasha Zukov, a young Russian colonel stationed in Afghanistan during his countrys war with the Afghans in the mid-1980s. As the story unfolds, the action shifts from Afghanistan to Russia to the U.S., where Zukov is assigned to a joint mission between his own country and an unusual partnerthe United States. After being wounded in Kabul, Sasha is forced to take an administrative job in intelligence in Moscow. He could never have foreseen working with American CIA agents to apprehend a shrewd, murderous traitor threatening both the U.S. and Russian space programs. But neither could he have imagined at the outset of the war that his father would be killed so brutally, that he would be betrayed by a lifelong friend, or that he would fall in love with a beautiful Afghan girl from the Hazara tribe.
