Koraramian Ways is the second book in the Grimes Trilogy.

Grimes and Elsay, both members of a secret race called Ancients, travel with Willyum the Bushman, to Willyum's home, the United Princedoms of the Kingdom of Koramar. Willyum, soon revealed to be Prince Haglund, and his two companions arrive to discover that Sarcigens, the centuries old enemies of Ancients, have taken over the Koramarian throne. Many battles are fought to re-take Haglund’s throne, revealing Grimes’ and Elsay’s increasingly special powers. But Gorputh is able to hold the castle secure and unassailable until Grimes invents the parachute and a winged flyer to attack and infiltrate it. The hundred Koramarian warriors that had been held in humiliating and degrading capture inside the castle, are released, and help to destroy the evil forces from within the castle walls.

Seventeen years pass peacefully. Grimes and Elsay have two children, Raven and Marn, also Ancients with special powers, each in their own right. Then Gorpurth, the Sarcigen believed to have been killed, is discovered to still be alive and seeking revenge. He will stop short of nothing but the subjugation of all humans and the death of all Ancients. Gorpurth uses the cochina seed, a strong addictive drug, to enslave and control his Fuchian armies and their ravenous canine hunters, the Goron. The power of the seed also allows Gorpurth to transform himself into a massive and vicious eagle who can attack without warning. As evil is set to prevail, the Sorceress, another Ancient from Grimes' distant past, arrives, herself transformed into the form of a raven. A bloody and brutal battle occurs on the ground; and in the air, the raven and the eagle, good and evil, Ancient and Sarcigen, fight for supremacy.

Themes of science, politics, personal growth, magical powers, philosophy, brutal warfare, and above all a continuing love story, will draw readers to this unique world.

I still remember the weight of that moment.

The word of the Lord didn’t whisper—it pressed. It came with purpose, with clarity, with the unmistakable authority of the God who made heaven and earth. Arise, go to Nineveh.

I froze. That one command unsettled everything I thought I knew about myself, my ministry, and my calling. Nineveh was not a place where prophets went. It was not a place to preach repentance; it was a place we prayed God would judge. Yet the command was simple, and I knew His voice.

But knowing God’s voice doesn’t mean we always welcome His assignment.

I, Jonah, son of Amittai, felt something rise in me that day—something I didn’t want to confess. It was fear. It was resentment. It was confusion. And if I’m honest, it was rebellion.

Sound familiar? Most likely. Because Jonah is us. Generations later, we still run from God’s call, resent His mercy, and prefer comfort over compassion.

The Jonah in Me explores the story of this reluctant prophet through a transformative lens, exposing the uncomfortable truth that Jonah’s resistance mirrors our own. But instead of stopping at conviction, we are pointed to the hope that comes from the Greater Jonah, Jesus, and the knowledge that like Jonah, we aren’t just rescued from something, but for someone.

Do you know what God has called you to do?

Do you know where God has positioned you to lead?

Do you know who God retrieved you to retrieve?

Filled with supporting Scripture, prayers, and reflection questions, this comprehensive resource introduces a revolutionary leadership framework—retrieved to retrieve—demonstrating how God uses our past struggles to position us to uniquely help others navigate similar circumstances.

Complete with a twelve-week sermon series, six-week small group discussion guide, and thirty-day devotional, The Jonah in Me will challenge the comfortable, encourage the reluctant, and show you that your rescue wasn’t random; it was purposeful.

“This remarkable piece of work speaks to a shining star of contemporary

Canadian philanthropy. The Barretts place trust and collaboration at the

forefront of their approach to grant making, and they seek to structure

flexible, long-term partnerships with their grantees. By doing so, the Barrett

Family Foundation is leveraging its philanthropy to influence lasting change

to seemingly intractable challenges in Canada and around the world.”

—Right Honourable David Johnston, 28th Governor General of Canada

“At World Vision, we are inspired by the Barrett Family Foundation’s thoughtful philanthropy. Their approach is broad, tackling big challenges; deep, by strategically addressing root causes; and generous, launching innovations that make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable youth and children. We so appreciate that Bob Barrett and the Foundation team see themselves as real partners, open to mutual learning, challenge, and sharing. We are grateful to celebrate the impact of this strategic approach to transformational giving!”

—Michael Messenger, President and CEO, World Vision Canada (2015-2025)

“Systems change in philanthropy is patient. Slow. Painfully slow. Built at the pace of meetings, listening, learning from people with lived experience. Built on the pace of trust. Investing in every relationship and partnership like it was the only one. Investing in the simple, unsexy stuff that may never make a headline but drives change where it matters. With people. No one does slow steady stubborn system change behind the headlines on the right stuff - and at scale - like the Barrett Family Foundation.”

In Finding Your Way . . . in the Fog of Life, William M. Scovell presents a lively collection of short, fictional tales that shine a light on the humor, mystery, and irony of everyday experiences. From porches and college dorm rooms to garages or a raging Caribbean Sea, the stories capture the rhythms of small-town Americana through the eyes of a witty satirical narrator who can’t help but find comedy in life’s complications.

Hold tight as Colt and Travis set sail on their Tahiti escapade. Each character is flawed, familiar, and unforgettable, caught in the adventures or misadventures that are equal parts heartfelt and hilarious.

By turns that are nostalgic, reflective and mischievously sharp, this collection offers “airportsize” reads perfect for slipping into a busy day. Each story is a reminder that humor is what keeps us steady in the fog of life, delivering warmth, wit and a wink at the truth.

I don’t think a person can live in any given locality for a prolonged period of time without noticing its peculiarities…

So begins The Berrylove Chronicles, a collection of ten interconnected stories set in the fictional town of Berrylove, Ontario, a familiar yet extraordinary place filled with some very unusual characters. Meet Sebastian, the high school principal who leads a rather flamboyant gang of bikers; Lonnie Cox, the bumbling teenaged superhero; Roland Parks, the ersatz mystic; and Nick Hoyt, who is possibly the unluckiest boy alive—all of whom struggle through hilarity and misadventure, and sometimes tragedy, in the pursuit of masculinity, heroism, and belonging.

Seemingly separate, as each story progresses, these disconnected lives start to intertwine, completing and rewriting each other with small mysteries and misdirections, until a grander master narrative begins to emerge.

Compulsively readable and delightfully entertaining, The Berrylove Chronicles is both an homage to the quirkiness of small-town life and a celebration of universal human experiences, one which asks the reader to consider the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to find the magic in everyday life.

You didn’t become “you” all at once. Your identity was assembled over years, often in the background of your conscious experience. Family and social

dynamics, what you were praised or punished for or taught to hide, your secret fears and ambitions, and your feeling of power or lack thereof all played a role,

whether you realized it or not.

Unmask Your Echo: Rewriting the Story of Who You Were Told to Be is a psychologically grounded personal development book that walks readers

through the formative stages of identity from early childhood to early adulthood, moving them from subconscious self-sabotage to conscious selfauthorship. Organized around pivotal ages and life phases, each chapter blends narrative reflection with psychological insights and practical exercises designed to help readers spot the patterns they inherited, the beliefs they absorbed without consent, and the roles they’ve been performing on autopilot.

Far more than a collection of motivational slogans or one-size-fits-all formulas, this book is an invitation into a deeper, more honest conversation with yourself that pairs emotional truth with strategic thinking. Written for high-functioning people who look successful on the outside but feel fractured internally, Unmask Your Echo offers a way back to a coherent self.

As we age, we are faced with increasing pressures about what the future may bring: How do I ensure I’m well looked after when I’m elderly? What can I do to help my loved ones as they get older and need assistance? These are just a few of the questions we must consider. But it is not enough to just consider them. It is important to plan for potential events and then implement those plans to mitigate difficulties as they arise. This includes talking to loved ones about housing concerns when living alone is no longer viable, designating a power of attorney before dealing with end-of-life care, or preparing detailed wills to minimize confusion for those left behind.

Change is a constant we must all contend with. The Forward Looking guidebook urges you to remember that truth and learn how to better care for yourself and others as those changes occur. It helps you explore the scenarios that may arise as we age and require help from professionals or loved ones. It provides a framework for problem-solving before a situation occurs so you can act rather than react when something does happen. This book offers starting places to begin to handle certain situations, while allowing you to do your own research and find the solution that best suits you. It is not an exhaustive look into aging and how to manage it. Rather, it invites you to ask questions and make the process of aging a more active part of your life.
