The Gospel According to Jesus Christ - Jose Saramago
Saramago s Jesus is the son not of God but of Joseph. Mary Magdalene is his lover not his convert.

And he must die not for the sins of the fathers but for the sins of the Father. By investigating these simple inversions Saramago has woven a dark parable; a secular gospel of astonishing richness and depth.â ˜An original, wild and beautiful bookâ ™ Times Literary Supplement

First, Break All the Rules - Gallup
Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its revolutionary study of more than 80,000 managers in First, Break All the Rules, revealing what the world #39;s greatest managers do differently. With vital performance and career lessons and ideas for how to apply them, it is a must-read for managers at every level.Included with this re-release of First, Break All the Rules: updated meta-analytic research and access to the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment, which reveals people #39;s top themes of talent, and to Gallup #39;s Q 2 employee engagement survey, the most effective measure of employee engagement and its impact on business outcomes.What separates the greatest managers from all the rest?They actually have vastly different styles and backgrounds. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They don #39;t hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They don #39;t believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They don #39;t try to help people overcome their weaknesses. And, yes, they even play favourites.In this long-time management bestseller, Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers. Some were in leadership positions. Others were front-line supervisors. Some were in Fortune 500 companies others were key players in small, entrepreneurial firms. Whatever their circumstances, the managers who ultimately became the focus of Gallup #39;s research were those who excelled at turning each individual employee #39;s talent into high performance.Gallup has found that the front-line manager is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees. This book explains how the best managers select an employee for talent rather than for skills or experience, set expectations, build on each person #39;s unique strengths rather than trying to fix his or her weaknesses, and get the best performance out of their teams.And perhaps most important, Gallup #39;s research produced the 12 simple statements that distinguish the strongest departments of a company from all the rest. First, Break All the Rules is the first book to present this essential measuring stick and to prove the link between employee opinions and productivity, profit, customer satisfaction and the rate of turnover.First, Break All the Rules presents vital performance and career lessons for managers at every level — and best of all, shows you how to apply them to your own situation.

All the Best for the Future - James Greg
THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERBrilliantly funny and life-affirming stories of growing up from much-loved Radio 1 presenter and bestselling children s author, Greg James. When Greg James was ten years old, his nylon shell suit-clad idols the Chuckle Brothers ( to me, to you ) signed an autograph (from them, to him) with the message All the best for the future.â ™ It was a weirdly formal message for a kid. Ten-year-old Greg had no idea what the future held, no clue what was in store for him as he carried on through life. How could he? No one really knows what s coming. We all have big dreams and small ones, ideas about how we want our lives to pan out: when you ll get married, where you ll live, how many children you want, what you want to be when you grow up. We race through the milestones, desperate to unlock life s next level and before you know it, youâ ™re a â ˜grown up . Thatâ ™s all well and good but have you remembered to have fun along the way?Whether it s entertaining the nation with his hugely popular BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, writing big funny adventures for kids with his bestselling children s books, finding the joy in cricket and F1 in his podcasts Tailenders and The Fast and the Curious, or posting stupid videos of his adorable but quite thick dog Barney, Gregâ ™s focus is to put a smile on people s faces because, let s face it, having fun is something we all forget to prioritise sometimes. In All the Best for the Future, Greg looks at how he thought his life would go and shares the things that wind him up, make him sad, make him laugh and the little passions and interests that he relies on to get him through the day - whether it was a good one or a bad one. He tells us who he is, who he thought he d be and who he still thinks he could be. Most of all though, his message for everyone is not to let go of that inner child as he navigates how to grow up without growing old. Itâ ™s possible to be fully functioning adults, with bills to pay and a dog to look after, and still find time to play with a train set...

No one believes her visions. Which all seem to be of one girl - and she s going to start a war.Helen fled Sparta in pursuit of love - though that s proving more elusive than she d hoped. Far from home, Helen s navigating all the politics and backstabbing of the Trojan court.And one princess seems particularly intent on driving her from the city.. .But when war finally strikes, it s more than the army at their walls they must contend with.Cassandra and Helen might hold the key to reweaving fate itself - especially with the prophetic strands drawing them ever closer together.But how do you change your future when the gods themselves are dictating your demise?
