Memoirs from my father of his holocaust experience, what life was like in Europe before the Concentration Camps, his will to survive those times, the responsibility to live and tell about it, and then ultimately make a new life, when all he had known had been torn away from him.

The Beatitudes are primarily an announcement by Jesus of a paradigm shift, a new kingdom or country or community - whatever metaphor we use is less important than the point that is being made: the old guard is over, the new kingdom has arrived. If you were poor and stigmatized and rejected by society in the former paradigm, you are uniquely blessed by God and all things are yours in the new paradigm.The Beatitudes are not only as an expression of a promise, and therefore also a consolation, but they describe one's passage from earthly patterns of thinking and concerns to the paradigm of the kingdom, where an entirely new pattern of thinking can begin to occur. The path of the peacemaker is essentially paradoxical; there are miles to go but we are constantly arriving, participating in fullness while still being poured out. In seeking God, we seek peace, and in finding peace in God, we become peacemakers, which is the summit of the blessings which Jesus pronounces. One moves from possessing the kingdom of heaven, which denotes the opportunity to enter into the present reality that is at hand, to not only inheriting the earth, being filled, obtaining mercy, and seeing God, but having entered and having allowed the kingdom of God to possess us, we evolve to that status that is not natural to us, contrary to the popular notion - we are called children of God. We become, as St. Peter writes, "partakers of the divine nature," which is precisely who we are meant to be as human persons.

A Hockey Book from a collection of stories told by Players about their humble beginnings, and what it took in their pursuit to try and become Collegiate, Junior, and Professional Athlete

A story about friendship, that occurs between people from diverse backgrounds, and began during one of the most horrific times in history...WWII. The story starts with the rescue of a holocaust prisoner (Joseph) by a soldier who was the 1st African American man he'd ever seen (Bill), and their ensuing relationship. The story proceeds with a chance meeting on the way to a funeral of an old friend from early Europe days, with a troubled child, and how They're brought together...lifetimes apart in age, but that in different times have both had their families stripped from them, but bond through a love of soccer, and more important, the need for each other

For centuries tourists and other travellers have been travelling north to the Highlands of Scotland. This book follows the main thoroughfares north, using vintage and contemporary images to illustrate how they and the people using them have changed over time. The book starts as many visitors to Scotland have done over the years, by following the Great North Road from Edinburgh to Inverness. The reader continues north from the Highland capital by the east coast, thus joining the highly popular North Coast 500 tourist route going around the North of Scotland from east to west. The return journey south follows the spectacular west coast route all the way to Glasgow. Many of the old picture postcards and other images feature the beautiful scenery and way of life of the people of the Highlands. Illustrating the changes that came about during the twentieth-century transport revolution, this is an affectionate lavishly illustrated tribute to how travel around the Highlands has changed over time.

Eric Simpson's new book tells this story - the story of the growth of tourism in the Highlands and Islands.
