  • Rainy Days at the Cottage

    by Paul Grissom

    If you’re a Cottager you’ll understand. Seasoned cottagers will declare, “There’s no such thing as a bad day at the cottage”. Don’t believe them. I’ve had plenty of cold, rainy, wind-spitting days when sky and water were a spirit crushing grey and there was nothing to do but light a fire, lay on the couch with a full glass beside me and scribble random thoughts in my notebook. Annie would read, the cat and I would fall asleep. The result is this book: 38 years of thoughts about storms, maintenance, fishing, birds, bugs, various local characters, my love-hate relationship with cottage country labour… These are our stories, but I’ll bet everyone who has (or wishes they had) a Vintage cottage like Rebel’s Isle will find we have a lot in common. (If you plan to get your own Vintage cottage some day this could be instructive, but beware, I might talk you out of it).

  • Jesus Christ: The Heart of Vatican II

    by Glen Argan

    Sixty years after the completion of Vatican II, the full meaning of the only Catholic ecumenical council of the last 150 years is still not widely understood. Longtime journalist Glen Argan shows how the council intended to draw ordinary Catholics into an encounter with Jesus. That encounter empowers us for a mission to transform the world. Jesus Christ, the Heart of Vatican II presents the council as a call to deeper faith and inspired action. It shows how popes from John XXIII to Leo XIV have discerned the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking through the Second Vatican Council and calling the faithful to a dynamic mission. Catholic readers will find in Jesus Christ, the Heart of Vatican II a path to living out the council’s vision for following Jesus.

  • Losing George

    When Anne Majic’s husband dies suddenly, her world changes in an instant. Overwhelmed by grief, she wonders how she’ll navigate life alone. Yet in the midst of the darkness, Anne is visited by “earthly angels” who bring many gifts—acts of kindness, practical help, and emotional support. Losing George: Stories of Grief and Coming Together, tells the tales of the friends, family, and even acquaintances who stepped in to carry her through her painful loss. From cleaning her home and organizing her finances to sharing coffee, these angels bring light to the darkest corners of her grief. The stories of their compassion and service are inspirational, and they remind us that even in the smallest gestures, we can find great healing in the face of the raw emotions that accompany the death of a loved one. More than a personal story of loss, this book is a testimony to community and hope. It invites readers to consider how they can come alongside someone in pain and make a difference in their lives. Losing George reminds us all that even in the pit of grief and sadness, light can shine through and lead us into a new day.
