For some time now, I have been writing a simple blessing each day. I share it with those who are connected to me on social media. My friends, family and those who journey with me through these avenues have often commented that they would like to see them in a little book that you could carry with you on holiday, or leave by your bedside. I pray they will be used by God to bless you, to bless others and to somehow, in a small way, build confidence in Almighty God. You can dip into them or use them on a daily basis. Whatever works for you. Whether you are already a follower of Jesus, or you are just exploring Who He is and what He does, I pray these little blessings will help you.

Once the heartland of British labour history, trade unionism has been marginalised in much recent scholarship. In a critical survey from the earliest times to the nineteenth century, this book argues for its reinstatement. Trade unionism is shown to be both intrinsically important and to provide a window onto the broader historical landscape; the evolution of trade union principles and practices is traced from the seventeenth century to mid-Victorian times. Underpinning this survey is an explanation of labour organisation that reaches back to the fourteenth century. Throughout, the emphasis is on trade union mentality and ideology, rather than on institutional history. There is a critical focus on the politics of gender, on the demarcation of skill and on the role of the state in labour issues. New insight is provided on the long-debated question of trade unions’ contribution to social and political unrest from the era of the French Revolution through to Chartism.
After her oppressive father’s failed plan to rebel against the king, Elin loses her title as the daughter of a baron and is instead labeled the daughter of a traitor. The despicable Baron of Redwood, who sees women as nothing more than his playthings, wants to make Elin his wife, regardless of her current crime-by-association, in an attempt to gain dominion over her father’s lands. But for Elin, if that is her only option, she’d rather be executed—and she tells the king as much! But the king, moved by Elin’s declaration, decides on a different fate for her. Instead, he unexpectedly marries her to his bravest, most loyal knight, Malcolm, a man who has built a reputation for himself in combat!
An account of Malcolm Little's life and evolution from youth to political figure.
