Books by Mike Brown

Nestled between the devastation of Good Friday and the joy of Resurrection Sunday is the confusion, anger, and hopelessness of Holy Saturday. It is a reminder that most of our lives are lived in this middle space-after something has ended but the new has not yet begun. How do we navigate the uncertainty and pain of living in the space between what once was and what will be? How do we walk by faith when the future is dark and unclear? With real-life examples, author and pastor Mike Brown helps us understand what it means to wait on God.¿¿ This honest and insightful book will help you:¿ Experience comfort and hope when you feel lost.¿ Discover how God is at work between endings and new beginnings.¿ Be encouraged and equipped to better engage with Jesus during dry seasons in life.¿ Learn how the small disciplines of silence, stillness, and meditation keep us tethered to God in the wilderness of waiting.

With the advent of the World War ll, millions of men were torn from their homes and plunged into the impersonal surroundings of the barrack room.

Despite the fact that the sea covers 70 per cent of the Earth's surface, and is integral to the workings of the world, it has been perceived as marginal in modern consciousness. This title disrupts notions of the sea as 'other', as foreign and featureless, through accounts which highlight the centrality of the sea for the individuals concerned.

Mike Brown's fully illustrated narrative captures what life was really like for children in Britain during the Second World War.

World War II affected every aspect of life on the British home front. From food rationing to air-raid shelters to war work, those left at home had to make huge changes in their day-to-day lives as Britain mobilised, economised, and saved in the name of Victory. This title looks at what these changes actually meant for families.

Contrary to the Hollywood-style romanticism of popular novels and films, the Second World War was more than courage on the battlefield, plucky defiance and doomed love affairs. Family and civilian life had to go on.

As the last days of peace ebbed away in 1939 and the outbreak of the Second World War appeared inevitable, a massive exodus took place in Britain: nearly two million civilians, most of them children, were taken from the cities, industrial towns and ports to the relative safety of the British countryside.
