For a change this month, here is a selection of new titles from The Bible Reading Fellowship.

God's Reality Show by Mike Coles

This book takes a leaf from the TV reality show format where Eleven Old Testament characters spend a week together in a tent in the wilderness. Eve, Noah, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Rahab, Deborah, Samson, Ruth, Saul and David interact, learn about each others' experiences and carry out various tasks that the Lord God has set. £6.99

Changing Lives! Daily readings for women who want more than a makeover. Editor: Catherine Butcher

Some of today's best Christian women writers look into the Bible to discover how God works to transform our everyday lives. The readings are drawn from BRF's Day by Day with God and include a short Bible reading, comment and a prayer or reflection. £9.99

Beauty from Ashes by Jennifer Rees Larcombe

Forty daily readings for people experiencing all kinds of grief - each offering a short Bible reading, reflection and a prayer, with a question or quote to mull over during the day. £5.99

Marriage. Restoring our vision by David Robertson.

Aiming to restore our vision of God's created purpose for marriage, this book allows the Bible to shed light on both our inherited cultural values and our contemporary Christian assumptions. Linking with the vows exchanged in the marriage service, it examines biblical principles and challenges current practice. It can be used by individuals or groups. £7.99

Rosie by Stephanie Jepps

Jenny's sister, Rosie, was not very well. She didn't have a sore throat or runny nose or spots and didn't feel sick but Rosie was still unwell. Jenny wants to know why Rosie doesn't get better. This story shows a warm and loving family, learning to deal with long-term illness. Age range 4 to 6 years. £5.99
