Jack Banks On Trial
ISBN: 9781507895214 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This is the second story for boys (aged 9/10 upwards) dealing with the adventures of Jack Banks and his friends as featured in the first book, 'Jack Banks' Discovery'. Ideally the first story should be read before the second, but this is by no means essential to enjoyment of 'Jack Banks on Trial'. In this new story Jack aged 13, meets with a series of personal trials which put his new-found Christian faith very much under strain.

Marin Ashworth Fourteen Plus
ISBN: 9781502410702 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 65 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Martin Ashworth Fourteen Plus (39,000 words) is the sequel to Martin Ashworth Fourteen, an adventure story with a musical and Christian slant, written for boys and girls aged 13 to 18 (adults also have liked it). The hero and heroine are both keen piano students, but no specialist knowledge is required to enjoy this further story of teenage shyness, bravado and exciting adventures. While there is some advantage in reading the first story before the second, the sequel can still be read as a separate novel.

The History of Freedom, and Other Essays
ISBN: 9781517639396 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The two volumes here published contain but a small selection from the numerous writings of Acton on a variety of topics, which are to be found scattered through many periodicals of the last half-century. The result here displayed is therefore not complete. A further selection of nearly equal quantity might be made, and still much that is valuable in Acton's work would remain buried. Here, for instance, we have extracted nothing from the Chronicle; and Acton's gifts as a leader-writer remain without illustration.
