Tokyo Reverie
by Lynda Grace Philippsen
After the end of a successful career, but one that has failed to fulfill her lifetime longing to live and work as an artist, a succession of random and serendipitous events prompts Lynda Grace Philippsen to head for Japan. There she begins the formal study of ikebana at Sogetsu Kaikan (Headquarters), in Tokyo. Ikebana, the centuries-old, sophisticated and highly-nuanced sculptural art of arranging flowers, presents her with numerous challenges. Communication barriers, cultural blinkers, unfamiliar pedagogy, and confounding social codes are, at times, as daunting as the curriculum’s demanding and enigmatic nature. Like a bird on her shoulder, Lynda takes the reader along the kado (the way of flowers), in a way that is both eloquent and relatable. A fascinating and immersive experience, not only does her story, which is told with insight and candour, contain moments of profundity, but it is also laugh-out-loud-funny at times. And while she captures the energizing experience and ambience of Tokyo in vivid detail, she does not sugar-coat her struggles. Her voice remains refreshing, raw and real. When COVID-19 interrupts her studies, forces a return to Canada and leaves her mourning the Tokyo life she must let go, Lynda discovers that the kado holds enlightening twists and turns of its own. Remarkable surprises beyond her imagination, leading to self-actualization, transformation and a new understanding of home.

The Dilemma
by Katerina Antonopoulou
Violeta has built a life defined by restraint, reason, and appearances. Highly educated and financially independent, she radiates success and is known for her sharp intellect and self-control. Her banking job is reliable, her boyfriend is nice, her life is risk-free. What more could Violeta want? But beneath this mask of discipline, Violeta is deeply conflicted, haunted by always making the safe choice in life and an unresolved past love. When this past love reappears, Violeta’s control slips. Desire resurfaces, not as nostalgia but as a living force, charged with everything left unsaid, everything denied. Every glance carries history. Every touch threatens collapse. Their kind of love is rare, and second chances even rarer. As the pull toward her forbidden truth tightens, Violeta must decide whether resisting desire will save her—or slowly destroy her. Does she have the courage to take a risk? Will she choose her life of comfort and safety, or the one she has denied herself for years? Across cities steeped in heat and memory, The Dilemma explores the dangerous space between longing and loyalty, temptation and fear. It is a sensuous, haunting meditation on love that refuses to be forgotten—and the cost of pretending it no longer matters.

Fearfully And Wonderfully Made
Thirty One Days of Love by Nathan Hughes
An Invitation into the Compassionate Heart of God Fearfully and Wonderfully Made powerfully reveals God’s unconditional, compassionate, and fearless love for his creation. At times such lavish and freely available love may not feel comfortable. In light of our mistakes and regrets, we often don’t feel worthy or deserving of such kindness and compassion. But as the pages of this “love letter” from God are turned, the inspiration to surrender ourselves over to this divine love will grow. Thankfully, God’s relentless love doesn’t ignore our failings. It courageously acknowledges them in light of his extravagant grace and mercy. It actually dissolves our lack of love for ourselves and renews our sense of identity as God’s beloved. This is God’s perfect love for us. Refreshingly, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made invites readers to settle more fully into this rhythm with God. The devotions, artwork, and contemplative exercises engage readers and offers generous space to remember and more fully embrace with radical acceptance God’s perfect love.
