Changing the Face of Death - The Story of Cicely Saunders - Faith in Action Series
by Shirley du Boulay
This series makes available to young people biographies of those who have changed or are changing the world by what they do. By the questions alongside, and ‘things to do’ at the end, these books help with assessment or examination practice. Cicely Saunders is the founder of the Hospice movement and this is the story of her life and what she has been working to attain. These days most of us has a Hospice for adults or children in our area, many of us have good cause to be very grateful for the service they provide. This book is well worth reading for anyone.

Following St. Peter - The Story of Pope John Paul II - Faith in Action Series
by Liam Gearon
This series makes available to young people biographies of those who have changed or are changing the world by what they do. By the questions alongside, and ‘things to do’ at the end, these books help with assessment or examination practice.
Of necessity this is a brief outline of the life and work of Karol Wojtyla who became Pope John Paul II in 1978. Despite its brevity it manages to reflect his care and love for individuals as well as telling the story of his life with its travels around the world.

So What? - A thought provoking resource for young people
by Susan Hardwick
Using characters that many youngsters will have met if they used the Confirmation books Sure Thing! or Chosen, the author explores by use of stories, issues such as Bullying, Doing Drugs, Peer Group Pressure and many others. Each story is ‘followed by discussion starters, questions, prayer and Bible references, to expand upon the points raised.’ Aimed at 11-15 year olds, adults reading this could learn a lot about the problems facing young people and gain a greater understanding of them. Susan Hardwick has many years experience of working with youngsters, mine included, and writes in a style that they can relate to.
