Tenth book of the year. Slow progress with my 25 for the year. May have been optimistic. Useful book, not too thick but insightful coverage of a wide range of family situations and considerations for supporting a child to explore a Christian faith #BookSky #WomeninChristianity
Aqua blue book with picture of a dad and child called Raising Faith. Written by Katharine Hi and Andy Frost. Subtitle “Helping our children find a faith that lasts”

Not sure how I managed to injure this book, think something attacked it my bag. But I’ve finished it now. Sad and challenging stories
Photo of a book cover. There is a tear at the top of the cover. The book is called ‘The prison doctor The Final Sentence - Stories from inside a foreign national prison’ By Dr Amanda Brown There is a photograph of a doctor sitting with her arms folded in a white coat, holding a red stethoscope on the table.

With maternity leave drawing to a close in just over a month, it’s time to dust off the various medical-themed books I’ve been given as gifts but never got round to reading. First one completed: Your Life in My Hands by Rachel Clarke
