Experiencing the Camino may begin with a single step, but the lessons it offers can last a lifetime.

When Bonnie set out to walk the final 115 kilometres of the Camino de Santiago, she expected sore feet, beautiful scenery, and perhaps a meaningful adventure. What she discovered along her journey was something much deeper: a series of gentle, practical, and often surprising lessons from God.

Part memoir, part devotional reflection, Lessons from the Camino invites readers to walk alongside Bonnie as she learns to release control, choose gratitude in difficult circumstances, silence judgment, and follow trustworthy guideposts. Ultimately, she discovers that the Camino itself is not the answer to life’s questions—but it can create space to hear the One who is.

With warmth, honesty, humour, and deep faith, Bonnie shares stories from the trail and from her own life. Each chapter offers Scripture, personal stories, reflection, and prayer for readers navigating their own winding paths through life.

Whether you have walked the Camino, dream of walking it someday, or simply need encouragement for the road you are on right now, this book is a reminder that every step can become sacred when walked with God.

Buen Camino.

Santa and the Moonlings

When a meteor crashes into a lunar rover, five tiny Moonlings are forced to flee their glowing home on the Moon—and accidentally blast off to Earth. Lost in the snow, they meet three curious children and one very enthusiastic dog who decide to help them find a way back. But time is running out: without the Moonlings’ magic, Santa’s sleigh won’t fly, and Christmas could be lost for everyone.

Together, the children and their new friends set off on a daring mission that spans snowy fields, secret launch pads, and the shimmering surface of the Moon itself.

Santa and the Moonlings is a heartwarming adventure about courage, friendship, and the light we share when we work together, especially when the world needs it most.

The Television Creative Department

Dan Williams was seven years old when he went on Captain Satellite, an experience that led him to seek his own television rocket ship—or so his mother theorized.

The Television Creative Department tells the story of forty-four years in Canadian broadcasting; a system now reduced to a shadow of its glory days. From hazy hijinks as a pot-smoking longhair in community programming to prestigious awards for ads that pushed artistic (and practical) boundaries, the memories on these pages depict an all-consuming career: both a lifeline and a curse for a man on the run from his feelings.

When his mother is diagnosed with cancer, Dan longs to prove his creative worthiness to his biggest fan, but a stagnant workplace and crumbling marriage lead him to an even more important pursuit: the art of being human.

The Chair by the Window

The Chair by the Window takes its title from the position it is written from: a chair set beside a window, present to what lies outside but conducting its inquiry from inside the room. From that seat, this fourth collection asks what our oldest words actually hold.

It opens in refusal — a turning away from the frame that would supply ready answers — and settles into the quiet interior that refusal returns to. In the seminar poems at its center, a professor writes a single word on the board — War, Poverty, Success, Hope, Eternity — and the room produces what the word truly contains for the people gathered in it. The parables that follow move to a smaller table, where a question is asked and the answer arrives not in speech but through a body, a gesture, a hand that does not reach for what is offered. The collection closes at a dark window, where a man rises from the chair and walks toward what no prior framework can explain.

Written first in Persian and carried into English, these poems stand in the tradition of witness — compression over elaboration, image over statement, trust in the reader and in silence. Companion essays set each poem in conversation with poets, philosophers, theologians, and scientists across the Persian and Western inheritances. What the chair gives — by the light from the window, by the room around it, by what it holds when empty — is the substance of this book's report.

The reader is not told a verdict. The reader is offered a place to sit.

Outlandish Approaches

Hannibal Barca, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Ernest Shackleton: three men who dreamed of glory and would stop at nothing to achieve it. Their ambition drove them huge distances through hostile territory.

In the end, their reach exceeded their grasp, and all three men ultimately failed in their quests. Yet their names are still remembered, whether with admiration, respect, or bafflement.

What kind of person decides to spend months stuck in polar ice, or cross the Alps with elephants, or invade Russia in the dead of winter? For revenge, for conquest, for fame?

And…was it worth it?

This collection of essays documents each man’s campaign and speculates on what motivated them all. A thoroughly researched and approachable take, by turns knowledgeable and humourous, author Dan White takes the reader on a journey through history and around the globe in search of understanding the difference—if there is one—between genius and madness.

The Red Bucket

When ten-year-old Adam gets roped into his older brother Tarek’s latest scheme, he can’t help but think it’s a bad idea. Hockey? What do the sons of a Hungarian mother and Egyptian father know about Canada’s national pastime? What if he humiliates himself on the ice? Life at school is hard enough with mean kids like Zack to contend with, but wobbly knees and a huge red helmet seem to scream: BULLY ME! Despite his mom’s urging to put his trust in Allah, Adam isn’t sure he can ever be more than a target on skates. Only when he meets a new coach does he learn that hockey, like life, isn’t just about scoring goals. As he navigates new (frozen) waters, Adam realizes that teamwork, perseverance, and self-belief will take him farther than he ever imagined.

13 Months of Sunshine and Other Fables: The Beauty, Magnificence and Occasional Terror of Growing up as a Missionary Kid in Africa

In 1956, a young Canadian family left behind the comfort and certainty of home to answer a call that would change their lives forever. What began as a mission of service in Egypt and Ethiopia became an extraordinary journey marked by courage, sacrifice, humour, heartbreak, and wonder. Told through the eyes of the oldest son, this deeply personal memoir captures the beauty and hardship of growing up in a rapidly changing Africa, where childhood was shaped by separation, resilience, and unforgettable adventure. At once tender and inspiring, this is a story of family, faith, and the enduring truth that the places we set out to change often change us most of all. For anyone who has ever wrestled with belonging, loss, purpose, or the hope of a new ending, this remarkable memoir is an invitation to remember that even the hardest journeys can leave behind a legacy of grace.

The Liberia We Must Build: Moving Beyond Political Propaganda to Facts-Based Development and National Consciousness

Liberia has changed leaders, governments, and political promises—but why have the lives of ordinary citizens changed so little?

In 1966, the landmark study Growth Without Development by Robert W. Clower, George Dalton, Mitchell Harwitz, and A. A. Walters exposed the contradiction of rapid economic growth alongside widespread underdevelopment, a contradiction that Liberia, sixty years later, has yet to overcome. Too often, thoughtful Liberians evaluate identical government actions differently depending on which party or president is responsible, but such selective judgment prevents the country from confronting its urgent challenges.

Out of a deep love for Liberia and its future, Augustus Jonathan Flomo writes The Liberia We Must Build to compare the Weah and Boakai administrations while examining what each inherited, placing their performance within Liberia’s broader history of economic growth without development, abundant natural resources without sufficient benefits for citizens, and democratic aspirations without sustained institutional implementation. He updates that national reckoning through rigorous, evidence-based analysis of recent governance and calls on Liberians to judge every administration by the same standards, verify claims before assigning praise or blame, and measure national progress by the lived realities of ordinary citizens across all fifteen counties.

This book challenges Liberians to move beyond partisan propaganda, confront the evidence, and build a nation where leadership, institutions, accountability, and economic growth deliver measurable improvements for every citizen.

The Girl with Delphinium Eyes

A young girl vanishes, swallowed by darkness, her story lost to time. Decades later, a compassionate nurse inherits a quiet country home from a woman she barely knew, stepping into a mystery that refuses to stay buried.

Joanna Waters has built her life around caring for others, keeping her own painful past carefully contained. But when her elderly client Charlotte dies suddenly and leaves her everything, Joanna is drawn into a world that feels both strangely intimate and unfamiliar. As she and her husband settle into the late Charlotte’s rural property, disturbing dreams begin to haunt her. The land itself seems alive with memory, and the deeper Joanna digs, the more she senses that Charlotte’s past remains to be finished in the present.

As fragments of history surface, Joanna must confront the possibility that her connection to Charlotte runs far deeper than chance. Themes of loss, belonging, generational trauma, and redemption intertwine as past and present begin to blur. But some secrets resist exposure, and some truths demand a reckoning: what really happened to the girl with delphinium eyes and how is Joanna a part of her story?
