"A Short Sentence" by Karl Loxton, who is a member of the church community, has been published to excellent reviews. 

It is his first published work and according to reviewers of Amazon is an amazing read. Here are a few snippets:

“This book resonated with me on so many levels. The anxiety and depression that can bury one in fear and exhaustion is exposed in this book. However, hope and positivity radiates from the page and shines a guiding light to acceptance, healing and strength to improve one's mental health. Amazing read.”

“A heart-warming, inspiring story.”

“Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. So much is relevant to the feelings I have experienced since losing my husband. Mental health can be affected by so many things in your life. I will be ordering a copy to take to my bereavement group, as I feel so many people will find it beneficial. I think you should send a copy to Prince William to share with the groups supporting mental health that he is involved in. This is a book that should be out there for everyone experiencing difficulties in their lives or to help those to understand mental health issues in others.”

“Superbly written. A must read.”

It is available on Amazon for £11.99, but you can buy it in St. Editha’s Church Bookshop for just £8.50 - and no delivery costs!
