Description:

God of the Old Testament Exposed is highly engaging as it presents compelling arguments suggesting that the Bible was written by fallible humans with specific agendas. It draws parallels between the ancient peoples who became the Israelites and other groups in our modern world. These comparisons help illustrate how a warring people in Bible times might choose a fearsome god to represent them, despite also describing God as loving and compassionate. This presents a contradiction, especially when considering the acts of violence attributed to God throughout the Old Testament, including commands for blood sacrifices and filicide.

The author argues that these stories of blood sacrifice, often overlooked by Christians, reflect the violent histories of the peoples who wrote the original texts of the Old Testament. He compares this to his own history of a fierce people defending themselves as superior to the majority population and stood firm against global criticism. A similar warlike attitude of survival and being the only chosen people helps the reader see why both populations might believe in a fierce god who demands blind loyalty and requires sacrifice as proof of faith.

The author’s personal story guides us through how a community under threat would shape their image of themselves into a fierce rather than peaceful God.

The narrative then shifts to Jesus, questioning the traditional view of blood sacrifices, which challenges conventional Christian teachings presenting Jesus as such a blood sacrifice.

The book is thought-provoking, making you reconsider the version of God that many have been taught to fear and love. It was a bit scary or “triggering” as it questions the very nature of God. As it is a controversial subject, it is good that the author uses many references to connect readers to direct sources. This certainly builds trust as does his own story.

The delivery of the material in ways which first start opening a crack where you might examine what you have been taught and then give you more and more evidence so that you are willing to challenge what you learned is a smart way to structure the book. In the end, you might feel quite shook-up, as you realised you had not examined, only accepted, the version of God passed down through Sunday school, worship, and holiday gatherings.

Overall, it's a compelling book that challenges established religious beliefs and prompts deep reflection on who God really is.

Author Details:

Gert Janse van Rensburg, South African born and raised on an African farm devoted his life to the Christian faith. Through the years he developed from a faithful minister or pastor in 3 different Christian denominations in 3 different countries on three different continents into a truth seeker. Due to his experience in ministry, he was forced to change his focus from preaching the traditional gospel to searching for the truth of the teaching of Jesus. This took him on a journey to get rid of dogma, rules, assumptions, and false doctrines that have been presented, by the Church, through the years as the ultimate truth. This book is the first in a series of three books that lifts the veil from the liberating teachings of Jesus Christ. This will set you free to not only discover the true Christ but also to become the Christ and enter the promised Kingdom of God.

Description:

Against the backdrop of 1979 post-revolution Iran, seven-year-old Mozhgan Mahmoodian struggles to understand the right and wrong in her world. At home, the kitchen wall is the only thing separating her father’s two lives – one with her maman, and the other with his second wife. In her dogmatic school, disillusionment threatens to take away Mozhgan’s claim to her one superpower: her brain.
Determined to create her own path, she decides the best way forward is by doing the opposite of what the adults around her do. But can a young girl reinvent her life with nothing but her own will and judgment?
The Ballet of Swallows is a coming of age memoir about how we define our own story and defy the one that’s given to us. Navigating grief, depression, and familial trauma, Mozhgan Mahmoodian invites us into the intimate and harrowing world of her childhood.

Description:

A bold, much-needed guide for Ashtanga yoga practice, useful for all levels and illustrated with 250 color photos, by one of yoga’s best known and respected teachers, Kino MacGregor.

This offers an updated, more accessible view of the traditional series, adapting it to serve a wider range of practitioners.

Even experienced practitioners find the challenging style of Ashtanga Yoga to be daunting. Whether you’re a beginner, living in an unconventional yoga body, or need modifications for any reason, this book will make you feel empowered, inspired, and confident to make the adjustments and modifications that feel right for your body. Kino posits that the Ashtanga Yoga method needs a systemwide reset and reevaluation to make it viable and beneficial to all students. She reframes the guru model and re-envisions the method in a way that will truly make Ashtanga available to all, while maintaining the integrity of the traditional teachings.

She also presents a brief theory of movement mechanics that can help prevent injury, optimize physical mobility, and tap into the natural intelligence of the body. The practice section presents each of the poses of the Ashtanga Yoga Primary Series—plus some of the poses in the Ashtanga Yoga Second Series—in traditional, modified, accessible, and adaptive forms (including using blocks and a chair). Not only will you see how to modify the pose, you will learn how best to work the pose for your unique need. Teachers will find plenty of reference material to update their teaching methodology.

The Art of Becoming Another Person Entirely is a quirky but touching novel about family expectations, redemption, and why it's never a good idea to fall in love with your husband's brother.

"On the surface, Brenda Arnold's The Art of Becoming Another Person Entirely seems like a fun and frothy beach read. But keep reading Arnold's nostalgic story of a young woman becoming her genuine self and you'll find this utter gem is just packed with wisdom and insight and pain and joy."

—Stephen Stark, author of The Final Appearance of America's Favorite Girl Next Door

"With The Art of Becoming Another Person Entirely Brenda Arnold has given us a wildly entertaining and brilliantly written book. Arnold's extraordinary psychological insight into her characters makes this a universal story of transformation, told with wit and intelligence. You won't be disappointed."

—Gail Storey, author of The Lord's Motel and I Promise Not to Suffer

"Brenda Arnold brings 1960s L.A. to vivid life in this poignant literary beach read, with vibrant characters and a love story that will steal your breath."

—Meredith Moore, author of I Am Her Revenge and Fiona

"This witty and emotionally rich story will have you alternately laughing and feeling beautifully overwhelmed.”

—Angélique Jamail, author of Finis and Homecoming

Myrna Rutledge has it all in the summer of '65. A well-curated wardrobe. A diamond with no discernible flaws. A floor plan to die for. The only problem? Her husband, Frank, comes with the plan. And so, after a disastrous twenty-fourth birthday party, Myrna packs it in and heads for L.A. armed with two skirted swimsuits, a bottle of Coppertone, and one million in unmarked bills that Frank has stashed under the guest bed upstairs.

Only L.A. is more seductive than Myrna ever imagined. As for Frank's younger brother, Dan, he's a woundingly attractive artist obsessed with the need to photograph every empty chair in the greater L.A. area. Lonely and alone, Myrna joins him on this quest—a journey that takes her from the dazzling Pacific Ocean to the gleaming photo lab at UCLA where he teaches her how to create the perfect image. There she discovers that she not only has something of value to say, but a unique way in which to say it.

Still, Myrna intends to honor the vows she made before God and her parents and the most expensive caterers in Chicago, Illinois. The problem is that L.A. is the epitome of everything cool that summer, and Myrna finds herself at the epicenter of it all. Warhol. Gernreich. Hockney. Dylan. And Frank's younger brother, Dan.

Brenda Arnold's achingly funny book is a love letter to L.A. in the summer of 1965. It is also a story about love, loss, and the art of becoming another person entirely. If you believe in second chances and enjoy the work of Nora Ephron, Cathleen Schine, and Anne Tyler, this book is for you.

Author Details:

Ms. Arnold has enjoyed a varied career as a professional flamenco dancer, a story analyst at MGM and Universal Studios, and a writer of short fiction. Her stories have won two of the annual short fiction contests sponsored by the National League of American Pen Women. Her work has also won the prestigious Hackney Literary Award for short fiction. She began The Art of Becoming Another Person Entirely during an invitation-only workshop led by the ever-brilliant Justin Cronin, who encouraged her to write a novel and then taught her how. Now far from the dazzling beaches of Southern California, she lives a tranquil life with the family she loves so much and with the ghosts of her many pugs.

Follow Caleb’s family as they maintain hope while Caleb recovers from severe brain injury and coma. This is more than a story of survival—it’s a gripping tale of resilience, love, and the extraordinary strength of prayer, community, medicine, and the human spirit.

Description:

This book is for everyone at some time in their life. If you're breathing, this book's for you... or your parents, friends, teenagers moving into their first apartment, newlyweds, new parents, siblings, ... oh, and the person or people you name as executor. Hope to be a beneficiary or heir? Yup, you too. Think you can do it alone? Be my guest, but first Google "executor horror stories."

What makes this book different?
- It's four for the price of one: You can use it when you're naming, accepting to be, or serving as executor, and if you're an heir or beneficiary.
- It's by a layperson who survived: Most of what you'll find about naming, being, and dealing with executors comes from legal, financial, or tax experts, and governments. Makes sense. For them, death is a growth industry. But for you, it's about naming someone you trust to look after your affairs when you die, understanding the effort and risks if you've been asked to be an executor, managing an estate effectively if you're acting as one, and knowing where you stand if you expect to inherit.
- It offers useful tools: The book provides plain-language explanations, checklists, templates, and tips.
- It's long-lasting: While legal, tax, accounting, and financial rules change, and the book mainly uses Ontario examples, the process to follow and the questions to ask experts will not. Also, the approach is generally similar to that in many other countries.
- Caution: To help relieve the subject's misery and tedium, this book uses humour-be warned!

Author Details:

Barb is a recovering executor who’s co-managed three estates and consoled others in the sorry throes of executorial duties. She served for years in the salt mines of the financial industry, encountering the weird and wonderful ways of financial institutions, advisors, regulators, policymakers, lawyers, tax professionals, bureaucrats, and government tax authorities. Her experiences with funeral homes, cemeteries, as well as heirs and beneficiaries? Well, some she’d just like to forget. In writing this book, she researched and became addicted to executor stories from the odd to the instructional to the “what were they thinking?!"

Most recently, Barb led a team and co-authored content for Heritage Lower St. Lawrence’s 2022 Governor General Award-winning multi-disciplinary "Live Our Heritage." She’s been published in The Quebec Chronicle Telegraph, Wealth Professional, Canadian Investment Review, Canadian Banker, The Observer, and Irish Banking Review.

Barb has made regulatory submissions to people she thinks should know better, including on how to make estate management and other painful processes much easier. She longs for a simpler life and argues frequently with her husband about who better not die first.

Description:

Truth spoken plainly and powerfully is difficult to dismiss and impossible to ignore. Edited with purpose by Greg Frankson, AfriCANthology: Perspectives of Black Canadian Poets brings together some of Canada’s most influential dub, page, and spoken word poetic voices and gives them space to speak freely about their personal journeys in piercing verse and unapologetic prose. Just as individual experiences of Blackness are diverse across Canada, each contributor recounts aspects of navigating their unique personal, professional, and artistic paths in Black skin with fearless candour and audacious forthrightness. Unforgettable in its charged emotional potency and stirring in its unrelenting urgency, AfriCANthology: Perspectives of Black Canadian Poets is a stunning tour de force by a celebrated gathering of truthtellers that demands we comprehensively reassess the present and reimagine the future of Blackness in Canada.

Description:

In a world that often misunderstands what it means to be different, living openly as an autistic person can be an act of bravery. Much like the challenges faced by those who were not traditionally gender-oriented in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, being out in the world and open about autism comes with its own unique struggles and triumphs.

Through humor, honesty, and heart, Out in the Spectrum reveals the realities of navigating a world built for neurotypical brains when yours works differently. As an autistic adult, often with other disabilities―some of which place more limits than autism―and as part of a community that includes a higher percentage of those who are not straight or are transgender, building a good life is challenging but remains the goal. Out in the Spectrum celebrates the courage of those who speak out, offering readers a glimpse into the vibrant, creative, and diverse lives of autistic individuals.

Whether you are autistic, love someone who is, or simply want to broaden your understanding, this book is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of community. Discover what it means to live authentically, connect meaningfully, and rewrite the narrative around autism.

Book Summary:
Alia’s Voice is a warm, hopeful account of a real family, wrenched from their homeland and resettled in Southern Ontario. The title character arrives in 2016 with one word of English, knowing no one except her husband and children, and nothing about her new country. Three years later, encouraged by her new Canadian friends, she finds herself addressing a women's group in her new language, telling her life story, and why she loves her new country. This is her story.

Reviews:
I have stood with Syrian refugees trapped in frigid temperatures due to the sudden closure of Hungarian borders. I have met with Syrian refugees in Lebanon who face many restrictions because of their heritage. The displacement of people around the world, and the need to take flight from war and conflict, is a stain on humanity in general. The statistics are staggering and the politics so complex that many feel overwhelmed by the realities. Ann McRae’s book Alia’s Voice; A Syrian Refugee in Canada helps us to break through our immobilization as we learn of one sponsorship story. We are exposed to the courage, tenacity and resilience of a refugee family and, in particular, through the personal and cultural adjustments of the wife, Alia. McRae also exposes us to the voices of those who performed grassroots assistance in the sponsorship of this family, skillfully reminding us again that each of us can make a profound difference in the lives of others by simple, sensitive and steady acts of kindness. ---- reviewed by The Rev. Dr. Karen Horst, Moderator of the 141st General Assembly of The Presbyterian Church in Canada

This book provides a well deserved tribute to immigration staff at the time of welcoming Syrian refugees. Indeed, so many Canadians pulled above their weight at this time - all the provincial governments that welcomed refugees so warmly, federal and provincial civil servants, immigrant sponsors, and all the settlement agencies, generally the best in the world, that worked incredibly hard to make everything come together. ---reviewed by the Hon. John MacCallum, formerly Canada's Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.

In refugee law, we often see the worst of what people can do. Meeting Alia and her family, and the many others whose stories fill the pages of this remarkable book, is a much-needed reminder of the best: of the power of hope, resilience, courage, kindness and friendship. -- reviewed by Hilary Evans Cameron, Assistant Professor, Lincoln Alexander School of Law, Toronto Metropolitan University
Who can forget the heart-wrenching photo journalism of Alan Kurdi, a 2 year old Syrian boy, lying face-down in his death on a public beach in 2015? It produced global horror, lament and an outcry for justice.
In contrast, the responses of joy, intrigue and hope are evoked in Alia’s Voice, authored by Ann McRae. In response to this photo, truly ‘worth a thousand words’, Canada implemented a Sponsorship Program in 2015, and a further response was the sponsorship of Alia, Hussein and their four children by two churches in Clarkson, ON. Read this page-turner story of commitment, struggle, fear and determination, interspersed with engaging historical background, as Alia’s Voice invites us into the journey of sponsorship and the journey of new life from Syria to Canada, and becoming Canadian citizens in 2021.
This personal ‘story’ paints a larger picture that each one of us and all of us collectively can make a difference to mending the injustices of our country and world. --reviewed by the Very Rev. Dr. Marion Pardy, 37th Moderator, The United Church of Canada (2000-2003)

Description:

"An accessible guide for those wanting more" gives an accurate description of MYNDFUL's dual aim: i) to remove any barriers upon the practices of yoga, meditation and mindfulness for those feeling 'on the outside', and ii) to deepen the understanding of this body of knowledge for those who have already dipped their feet into its pool.

Working across five distinct sections designed to offer stand-alone insights, MYNDFUL is the first book of its kind to deliver teachings from this often elusive subject in easily digestible, five-minute-read portions.

With the ever-encroaching digital world bombarding us with stimuli and drowning in bits of information, we are desperately in need of what yoga and mindfulness have to offer. Finding calm in turbulence, clarity in fog and true contentment in our everyday trials is what we are all seeking. The teachings in this book are the medicines to cure what ails us. They are within our reach, in unlimited supply, for any and all who recognize that there just has to be more to life than our unending lists and schedules would suggest.

Like hitting the fast-forward button on decades of daily practice in these ancient disciplines, MYNDFUL is the proverbial Coles Notes on all things consciousness and the nature of the mind - for when you just don't have the extra ten or thirty years to painstakingly unearth them for yourself.

Description:

Sandy always stood out. From a young age, she was labeled as "too loud," "selfish," and "unladylike." She couldn't help but feel invisible, like a vibrant painting hidden behind a dull curtain.

As she grew into a woman, the pressure to conform only intensified, but it was the 1980s and the music, the makeup, power suits, and sexual hookups were fun. Sandy survived work with precious few hours of sleep but as the fun became routine, she went back to feeling small and invisible. She had no idea what was holding her back.

In her memoir, From Invisible to Technicolor, Sandy takes us along as she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, sexual awakening, and empowerment. She learns that it's not selfish to prioritize her own happiness and dreams. Through trials and tribulations, she sheds the layers of societal and familial expectations, embracing her true self with all its colors and complexities.

In a world that tried to make her invisible, Sandy becomes a beacon of individuality and strength. This is a story of resilience, self-acceptance, and the audacious pursuit of a life lived authentically, unafraid to be technicolor in a world that expects women to be quiet and invisible.

Author Details:

Sandy O’Shea is a holistic sexpert, intimacy coach, and dynamic speaker dedicated to helping individuals embrace their authentic selves and foster deeper intimacy in their relationships. With over five years of experience as a sought-after speaker, podcast guest, and TV contributor, Sandy uses her expertise in holistic approaches to sexuality, hormones, and relationships to inspire personal transformation.

Her debut book, Let’s Talk About Sex with Sandy, offers practical advice for men and women looking to improve their health, balance hormones, and enhance their intimate connections.

Sandy’s talent for storytelling extends to her two captivating erotic novellas, When Friends Become Lovers and Lost Then Found, both available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback.

Her most personal work, From Invisible to Technicolor: A Memoir, is a powerful account of her journey from self-doubt to self-discovery. In this deeply honest book, Sandy shares her struggles with self-worth, family dynamics, and the healing process after her father’s sexual misconduct. She provides a roadmap for women to break free from societal pressures, reclaim their identity, and unapologetically embrace their true selves. Accompanying the memoir is From Invisible to Technicolor: A Journal, a practical guide to transformation, focusing on building healthy habits and cultivating a positive mindset.

Through her books, workshops, and her platform, Let’s Talk Sex with Sandy, Sandy empowers women to reconnect with their sensuality, uncover their personal power, and celebrate their divine femininity.

Sandy resides in the picturesque Kawartha Lakes Region of Ontario, Canada, where she continues to write, coach, and inspire others to live bold, authentic lives.
