Young readers will know and love award-winning Christian children's author and illustrator Andy Robb from books such as 50 Weirdest Bible Stories and Professor Bumblebrain's Bonkers Book on Parables. But it's Andy's Amazing Agents of God series which has inspired The God Files - a children's Bible for 7+ year olds. This colourfully presented Bible - in which each book is styled as a 'file' - will invite children into the story of Scripture by encouraging them to play their part as agents with a mission, inspired by the adventures and impact of the special agents they read about, such as Joseph, David, Esther and Mary. In addition to the Agent Profiles, the Bible features a wealth of integrated extra content to help children explore faith, learn about God and to start them off on a lifetime of Bible reading. Each book of the Bible has an introduction that informs agents of the key facts about the file, such as 'Where the action happened', and 'Agents to look out for'. In each book, there are encoded verses to decipher, jokes, 'Undercover Investigations', 'Fascinating Facts', 'Agent Essentials' and much more. The Bible also contains thirty two full-colour pages, packed with everything a young reader will need to become an agent of God - info on key agent activities, such as prayer, reading the Bible and what to expect at church (or, your 'Agent Outpost', as The God Files calls it), testimonies from famous Christians of the past and present, and notes on worship, the trinity and heaven - all vibrantly illustrated.

Everybody knows everybody else's business in Downtown, Tennessee. Neighbors while away afternoons at the local bar, swapping rumors about voodoo, incest, and illegitimate children. Usually they're gossiping about the Boten clan. In this epic family saga, Lolita Files unveils the hidden lives of three generations of the Boten family. She introduces us to Grandma Amalie, a mother so fiercely protective, she will quietly sacrifice everything for her son. There's Grace, who conceals the identity of her child's father for more than twenty years. There's Aunt Sukie, whose strange power over her husband, Walter, is matched only by the strength of her dark magic. And then there's Lay, the bad seed, whose secret betrayals will cost his family dearly. The family's past begins rising to the surface when a mysterious fire takes the life of young Ophelia Boten's infant son. The tragedy sets the family in motion, its members on a quest for self-discovery that will lead them to the drug world of inner-city Detroit, a midwestern college campus, the jungles of Vietnam, and back again. Ophelia sets her own course, one that will ultimately bring her into the arms of a caring and benevolent lover. But before she can embrace her new life and begin a family of her own, she must fully understand and accept the Boten clan's tormented legacy. Inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet, Child of God is a story of family bonds, of forbidden love, of sacrifice and redemption. Moving deftly forward and backward in time, the narrative weaves the past with the present, and the family's mistakes echo unforgettably through each successive generation. As rich as it is rewarding, this is Lolita Files's most ambitious novel to date.
