 |summary=In his own delightfully imaginative way, Kurt Vonnegut tells the story of the birth of Christ in this unique and long out of print children's book. Told from the perspective of the new born infant in his first hours of birth, this charming little story feels different to other children's Christmas books whilst at the same time goes back to the basics in exploring the true nature of Christmas.

 |summary= One of the comments made when I was offered this beautiful book for review was that it's not very long.  Having read the book twice over, I'm brought back inescapably to the Spanish proverb that Life may be short, but it is broad.   In this case I'm brought to the idea that the length of life is not the point; the point is its depth.  Peter Owen Jones dives deep.

 |summary=Klaka had celebrated Diwali and it had been great fun - a wonderful, beautiful day and tonight the city is lit up by thousands and thousands of lights.  Amma and daddy had given many gifts to their boy and Klaka and his brother had lit the earthen oil lamps known as diyas.  They didn't just eat and have a good time - they also offered their prayers for good fortune, prosperity and health to Ganesha, the God of new beginnings and to Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth.  But Klaka was curious:  ''Amma'' he said, ''tell me about Diwali''.

 |summary=I often wonder - usually after a moment of shaking my fist at the news on TV - what my manifesto for life and society would look like were I to write it down. I have all sorts of thoughts about these things, from the metaphysics of who we are and where we come from, right down to detailed critiques of quite insignificant government policies. I've never done such an exercise - mostly because I lack the time, the patience and the diligence required. It seems like an enormous task.

 |summary=''Spiritual Atheist'' is a new 'bible' for the spiritual not the religious, according to the tagline. This is a taboo smashing book which solves the problem of modernity and explains how to be a 'spiritual technologist' who can live and love freely in 'spiritual fullness' without relying on a belief in god. Touching on everything from 'brain science' to AI, Jankel offers a 'path to meaning', allowing us to move beyond consumerism towards an ethical life.

 There are a lot of self-help books about: it's one of the most thriving sections of the average bookshop, but it's not always easy to find the book you need.  Samesh Ramjattan has addressed this problem in ''Be Your Higher Self'', a book which allows us all to make sense of our place in the world, as most of us only glimpse our true potential and few people ever achieve it.  Even with hard work and dedication, obstacles present themselves and it's difficult to understand why or how they can be overcome.  Ramjattan offers us a guide to the spirit world, the chakras, karma and reincarnation as well as information about the age of Aquarius and the ego.  It's a slim book - just 128 pages - so can it provide us with the answers we seek?
