AN UNTROUBLED HEART by Kara Stout | Chapter One

In this glittering and heartwarming collection, three of today's bestselling sweet romance novelists offer up the gift of cheer for the winter holiday season. On the Way to Christmas features a return to small town home, a Christmas cross-country train ride, and a Christmas bakery. Perfect for fans of Hallmark Christmas movies and Debbie Macomber.

A Christmas Do-Over by Sheila Roberts

Darby doesn't want to go home for the holidays, but a career fail sends her slinking back to the small town she always wanted to escape. No one there is especially glad to see the former mean girl--especially not her sister, Erica, or childhood best friend, Gregory. Darby is working hard to be a better person, but has she eaten enough humble pie to make amends?

Dashing Through the Snow by Melissa Ferguson

When Willow's boyfriend of seven years dumps her on the eve of a romantic getaway, she decides to take the two-week train trip on The Christmas Express alone. Hurt as she feels, she can't anticipate how the hilarious rebound ride with conductor Oliver, elf Ian, and aging world adventurer Clarence will heal her heart--and renew her sense of worth.

A Perfectly Splendid Christmas by Amy Clipston

Kacey adores the metropolitan life, but when she gets away to help her sister during a family crisis and run her bakery, she falls in love with former classmate Drew. The problem: he's a small-town man, and she's a big-city woman. Is their love big enough to overcome such a major difference?

Curl up with your favorite holiday drink and escape the hustle and bustle into three worlds where dreams once thought long-gone are still within reach.

"Filled with Christmas spirit, and a little chaos, too, all three stories left my heart filled with joy . . . Five stars overall!" --Nancy Naigle, bestselling author

ON THE WAY TO CHRISTMAS by Sheila Roberts, Melissa Ferguson, and Amy Clipston

Discover the Jesus who has been pursuing you since before time! Join an unforgettable journey through the birth, ministry, and death of the Messiah as found in the Old and New Testaments, and have your own life transforming experience.

When reading the Bible we often miss essential details that add richness and significance, and therefore don't grasp the bigger picture. New York Times bestselling author Rabbi Jason Sobel, in his unique and engaging way, helps listeners see God's story in high definition, enabling them to better understand the cultural and historical background of Scripture, God's intention for every detail, and how it applies to our lives.

Revealing hidden gems of prophecy and promises, Transformed by the Messiah helps answer questions such as:

Is there any significance to the fact that Jesus was born in Bethlehem?
How does the Messiah's baptism set an example for us to emulate and what did it undo?
Did the Messiah have to die on a cross and why did he not rise until the third day?
Who are the shepherds and why was it important that the baby be found wrapped in swaddling cloth and laid in a manger?
How can we embrace a supernatural perspective—living with a sense of possibility—and not be limited by a strictly natural perspective?
Why does Genesis 3 talk about the "seed of a woman?"
Why were the disciples so willing to immediately drop their nets, leave their families, and follow Jesus?
You'll also learn how to respond with faith, not fear; trust God's plan, purpose, and provision; and move forward in the power of the Spirit.
If you need hope, or simply a better understanding of God's plan of redemption for all mankind and your part in it, Transformed by the Messiah will open your heart and mind to be able to live in the supernatural power of God's Spirit as you follow Jesus and His command to make disciples. And whether you are Jewish or not, to help you read and study in a way that connects His story in the Old and New Testaments.

TRANSFORMED BY THE MESSIAH by Rabbi Jason Sobel | Chapter 3

In this first episode of series five of Crossing Channels, podcast host Richard Westcott welcomes three affiliated experts - Jonathan Grant, François Bonnefon and François Poinas - to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming higher education.
Welcome to the fifth series of our Crossing Channels podcast, co-produced by the Bennett School of Public Policy (UK), and the Institute for Advanced Studies in Toulouse and Toulouse School of Economics (France).

In this first episode, our host Richard Westcott welcomes three affiliated experts to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming higher education.

Jonathan Grant (Affiliated Researcher at the Bennett School of Public Policy), Jean-François Bonnefon (Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) & the Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST)) and François Poinas (TSE & IAST) share different perspectives rooted in public policy, psychology, and economics.

They examine how AI is reshaping the way universities teach, conduct research, and connect with government, business, and civil society. They look into how generative tools are changing learning and assessment, how students and academics can build trust in AI systems, and what the rise of these technologies means for the skills and values that universities aim to foster.

Are universities ready for the age of AI?

Richard Westcott chats with Jack Newman, Angélique Acquatella and Pinelopi Koujianou Goldberg about what really drives inequality — from technology and trade to health and local policy — and how institutions can bridge the gap between national goals and everyday realities.

In this podcast episode of Crossing Channels, Richard Westcott talks to Jack Newman, Angélique Acquatella and Pinelopi Koujianou Goldberg about the forces that shape inequality today. 

Drawing on economics, politics and public policy, our guests examine why gaps persist, look at the roles of technology and trade, explore evidence on health inequalities in the UK, and discuss the delivery gap between national ambitions and local capacity. They share examples of when place-based approaches can work, what gets in the way, and how institutions can support more inclusive growth.
