The Hodder Bible Commentary: 1 & 2 Kings (Hodder Bible Commentary)
by Nathan Lovell'Praise be to the LORD who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed on all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses.'1 KINGS 8:56The book of Kings is much more than an historical record. It is the story of the remarkable faithfulness of God to build the Kingdom he promised, even when his own people reject it. And it is about how different this Kingdom is to everything else the world has ever known.Nathan Lovell's thought-provoking commentary helps us to understand not only Israel's history, but how it shapes and challenges us today. As God works amongst his people, we begin to catch a glimpse of an entirely new type of world order. On the surface Kings is a book about power and glory, but by reading more deeply we begin to see the truth of Jesus' words, 'Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.'About the Hodder Bible CommentaryThe Hodder Bible Commentary is a comprehensive 50-volume Bible commentary series.

The Little Book of Darts
by OHWith Luke "The Nuke" Littler's ascendance to the throne as the new King of Darts - at just 17 years old! - the medieval pub game of darts is experiencing a renaissance. The game's popularity is continuing to rise, with more and more countries stepping up to the oche and growing interest among the younger generations. In the past 12 months alone, the number of youngsters in Britain playing darts has doubled, with 35 per cent of the nation now more interested in the sport than they were two years ago.Of course, darts has always been popular, with legions of fans remaining loyal since its eighties heyday - who can forget Jim Bowen's Bullseye amassing more than 20 million weekly viewers when it was on TV? But now darts is in a new league all of its own, with people tuning into tournaments from across the globe.This little guide contains 180 fun and fascinating facts, quotes and stats about the new favourite sport, an intoxicating mix of precision throwing that suddenly turns into quick-fire maths. This tiny tome celebrates not only the game's latest rise to fame, but also its cherished 1,000-year history and the long list of players who have stood proudly at the oche, either down the pub or as professionals.With the World Darts Championship in December 2025 set to be the most viewed tournament ever, the world of darts is once again about to take flight. To quote the late, great Martin Fitzmaurice, "Are you ready? Ladies and Gentlemen... Let's... Play.... Darts!"Sample content:"I just wake up, play on my Xbox, have some food, have a chuck on the board, and go to bed... I don't engage with anything outside the house; I'm just level-headed."Luke Littler, after coming second in the World Darts Championship final, ESPN, January 2024."When I keep focus, when I keep believing in my own ability, anything is possible. I'm not here for the jolly, I'm here to win a tournament, and we all know that."Michael Van Gerwen, on his focus, Sky Sports, January 2025.Slop is the term given to a lucky or unintended score, often when a dart doesn't go where it was meant to, but still earns a decent score.

The Great Gambon: Michael Gambon in his own words (and others)
by Milly EllisSir Michael Gambon was one of the greatest actors of the last 50 years, with a career that began as second spear carrier in Hamlet, alongside Anthony Hopkins (he had to lift Peter O'Toole - Hamlet - out of Ophelia's grave and was told he would never work again if he kept dropping him). He went on to star in plays by Harold Pinter and Samuel Beckett, as well as Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films .When Michael Gambon's memory began to fade, he found it increasingly difficult to remember his lines. Ultimately the job fell to Milly Ellis, to be his 'earwig', which she did for fifteen years, giving him his lines through an earpiece.This gave her the opportunity to see and hear him deliver some his most outstanding performances. As well as having chameleon-like abilities as an actor, Gambon was a legendary self mythologiser and this book celebrates the many outlandish stories he told about himself, as well as from those of his friends and fellow actors. Milly Ellis has woven the best of these - from the likes of Tom Hollander, Daniel Craig, Robert de Niro, Judi Dench and Eileen Atkins - into an affectionate tribute to this extraordinary man.

The Shape of Further Things
by Brian Aldiss"We are infinitely rich, yet we mess about with penny-in-the-slot machines," writes Brian W. Aldiss in this autobiographical work written over the course of one month. From his Oxfordshire home, he ruminates on dreams, education, the role of technology in our lives, the rise and function of science fiction, and a variety of other topics. The Shape of Further Things is a window into the life and mind of a Science Fiction Grand Master.In this provocative volume, Brian Aldiss seeks to recapture some of the strands of his life, using an elaborate tapestry to do so: using a basic diary form, he works alternately back into the past and forward into the future; the realities of our world alternate with the unrealities of fantasy.The result is an autobiography spanning one month - a month in the life of a speculative writer. Dominant topics include the Moon as real estate, the role of technology, the growth of science fiction in Britain, the nature of dreams and theories of the brain, and the possible part that education could play in enriching our lives.
