Holding On and Letting Go is a richly textured volume by Chris Leonard presenting real-life stories which paint a picture of 'God with us' in a very real way through the ups and downs of life. Woven through with Bible reflections and prayers, Holding On and Letting Go offers both comfort and encouragement to those of us struggling to believe in God's intimate concern in - and glorious purposes for - our own seemingl 'ordinary' lives. Chris Leonard tutors on creative-writing courses. She is the author of many books, including Waiting: Reflections, Stories, Prayers, which is also published by SPCK.

There are moments in life when the everyday is touched by something more glorious than we usually encounter. The beauty of a summer dawn, the kindness of a stranger, the comfort of feeling held during a time of great personal difficulty - perhaps an experience like this has got us wondering. Perhaps it has got us thinking about God. Is God for Real? is the question many struggle with. So Chris Leonard spoke to people from all kinds of backgrounds and asked them to explain how their relationship with God works out in practice, during crises, but mainly in normal, everyday life. The stories she has gathered together - of real personal experience - will be an encouragement to us whether we have know God for many years, or are just feeling our way to a trusting relationship with him.

Schenectady's General Electric Realty Plot was formed in 1899 when the General Electric (GE) Company purchased 70 acres of land from Union College to provide unique housing opportunities for its executives and scientists and to attract brilliant minds from around the world to work for GE. The original 178 homes were designed by leading architects from as far away as Boston, New York City, and Chicago. The neighborhood, colloquially known as "The Plot," would also become home to political and religious leaders, businesspeople, and entertainment elite. Inhabited by luminaries such as Charles Proteus Steinmetz, 1932 Nobel Prize winner Irving Langmuir, Ernst Alexanderson, and William D. Coolidge, the GE Realty Plot was also home to many important historic firsts, including the first demonstration of radar in the United States and the first reception of a television signal in a house.

Get closer to His personality, His friendships, what made Him human, and what made Him divine. And importantly, explore why it matters to us, over 2,000 years later.
