As he composed A Christmas Carol in 1843, Dickens said he wept and laughed and wept again, transported—as countless readers have been since—by the emotional power of Ebenezer Scrooge''s .

Ellie, Magda and Nadine are back - but they're not very happy! Ellie's glorious romance with Russell is teetering on the rocks. Magda's lost her pet and is desperately upset (though the others didn't even know she still had a hamster!). And Nadine is fed up with the other two lecturing her about the dangers of meeting someone on the Internet - her e-mail boyfriend sounds wonderful! Buckets of tears are wept and hundreds of tissues sniffled into. Can the girls' friendship survive these testing times? A superb fourth installment in the GIRLS series, following GIRLS IN LOVE, GIRLS UNDER PRESSURE and GIRLS OUT LATE. A perfect read for older fans from the best-selling author, Jacqueline Wilson.

A few years ago, I met Bob Garner, executive producer at Focus on the Family Films. When he was a boy, his grandmother had shown him a copy of an old, illustrated book about the Titanic. He told me that the book left a deep impression on his seven-year-old heart. One image in particular haunted him: that of the hand of God holding the Titanic with a quote from Scripture, "Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand?" (Isaiah 40:12). That illustration reminded Bob that God was sovereign. Years later, while working with Robert Ballard, discoverer of the Titanic, God used the memory of that book and the story of the Titanic to bring him closer to the Lord. Intrigued, I asked my staff to track down an original copy. What I found fascinated me: the true account of men who gave up their lives for women and children because they grew up in a culture of Christian family values. We reproduced The Sinking of the Titanic to give you the look and feel of a vintage classic. We have received hundreds of testimonies from families that have used it for devotionals, and from boys and girls who just can't put it down.Book DescriptionThis is the greatest account of bold manhood in maritime history.This is the true story of the RMS Titanic as told by the people who knew. Download DescriptionSIXTEEN boats were in the procession which entered on the terrible hours of rowing, drifting and suspense. Women wept for lost husbands and sons, sailors sobbed for the ship which had been their pride. Men choked back tears and sought to comfort the widowed. Perhaps, they said, other boats might have put off in another direction. They strove, though none too sure themselves, to convince the women of the certainty that a rescue ship would appear.

Queen Victoria's death in January 1901 shook Britain to its core, and reverberated not just throughout the Commonwealth, but around the world. She was a woman in her eighties, and yet it seems no one could contemplate the end of a reign that had lasted so long. The anxiety of the government and the royal family about the prospect of the Queen's death was such that the news of her illness was deliberately concealed from the public for more than a week. When it came, people from England to Jamaica wept in the streets, and this grief was surpassed only by fear for the future. Last Days of Glory is the definitive account of those last 23 days in January 1901, when Victoria traveled to Osborne House to die. The momentous reaction to the Queen's passing attached to it more significance and a greater sense of change than the turn of the century had carried just a year earlier. Through the prism of those last days Tony Rennell presents us with a series of resonant and absorbing snapshots of a fading Empire at the end of the Victorian Age, and captures a nation coping with change, balancing comfortable nostalgia with the arrival of a new order.
