When Love Is a Scam
Subtle Hidden Motives That Disadvantage Good People in Relationships by Peter Obiefuna
When Love Is a Scam is an eye-opening exploration of the hidden dynamics shaping love in romantic relationships, family bonds, and spiritual communities. Peter Obiefuna challenges the widely held belief that love is always selfless and fair, revealing how societal expectations and personal motives can quietly undermine relationships. Through real-life examples and thoughtful insights, the book examines topics such as gender roles, financial pressures in marriage, and the complex influence of extended family and external support systems. With a reflective and compassionate yet provocative approach, the author invites readers to rethink what they’ve been taught about love and to redefine it as a space for mutual respect, autonomy, and growth. Whether addressing the emotional burdens placed on men, the societal expectations imposed on women, or the unspoken power dynamics within extended family and spiritual institutions, When Love Is a Scam empowers readers to set boundaries, question ingrained norms, and reclaim love on their own terms.

Zigs and Zags
A Memoir of Ventures, Adventures and Misadventures on Land and Sea by John Dowd
THE ARC IS WIDE, the zigzags are many in John Dowd’s candid and compelling memoir of eight decades of ventures, adventures, and misadventures—from his youth in postwar New Zealand to grandfatherhood on a Canadian homestead. In between, Dowd threads back and forth around the world at speed, taking or making jobs for himself as he goes, his journal close at hand. We are swept right along: with him we grub it out in the New Zealand bush, culling invasive deer. We cross an ocean and climb Andean peaks. We thumb our way around South America, scouting routes for a future photographic bus tour venture. In Caribbean waters we take the helm of a giant schooner. We get an instructor gig at an Outward Bound School in England. We ride a big Norton motorbike across Europe. We crew on a merchant ship plying the Mediterranean, then hitchhike from Syria to India with a broken heart. We kayak the Indonesian chain and end up running a wacky summer camp for rich kids from Jakarta. We kayak Patagonian Chile on assignment for National Geographic, then take on the entire Caribbean chain. We dive in turquoise waters and at times in pitch darkness: under North Sea oil rigs, among cofferdams on the Thames Barrier, and into an industrial sewer pipe full of drilling mud. We learn as we go. The social and political ferment of the late 1960s and 1970s forms a backdrop to much of Dowd’s stories, as do his own candid thoughts around the mixed blessings of group travel and his quest for a soulmate—until a soulmate appears. A full-fledged writer by the late 1970s, Dowd gets distracted by a new set of ventures which culminate, most notably, in a retail business and a specialty magazine in Vancouver, Canada. But his adventures do not stop there—far from it.

Godsent
Messengers from an Invisible God by Olanrewaju
Explore the divine, invisible world of angelic messengers in Olanrewaju’s Godsent: Messengers from an Invisible God. Filled with biblical and personal accounts of the role of angels in our everyday lives, this book will introduce readers to this incredible realm of reality that can’t be seen but is definitely experienced throughout the world. From the promises to Abraham, the protection of Hagar and Daniel, to the proclamation to Mary, angels play a critical part in the biblical narrative, and readers are encouraged to look for evidence of angels in their own lives. The prayers of mortal humans—words spoken here on earth—evoke a response from the eternal God, who sends His angels to minister to us. Our words move the heart of God, but God's words command the angels of the Lord. Present with God’s messengers are the fallen angels, or demons, who work to oppose God’s kingdom and all who dwell in it. Ultimately, however, God and His angelic forces will prevail, as outlined in the book of Revelation, and evil will be defeated for eternity. An inspiring and eye-opening journey into the supernatural, Godsent: Messengers from an Invisible God illuminates the unseen battle between good and evil and reminds us of God’s protection over us at all times.

Protecting the Ontario Niagara Escarpment
Environmental Activism and Goverment Stewardship by Donald H. Avery
Protecting the Ontario Niagara Escarpment explores the intersection of politics and conservation, business and public interests, and government and not-for-profit organizations over more than six decades to protect what is today a UNESCO World Biosphere. Reflecting on both environmental activism and government stewardship, author Donald H. Avery captures an important period in Canadian environmental history. Starting with an overview of the North American conservation movement in the 1960s and the important 1968 Gertler Niagara Escarpment Study, he examines the different work done by conservation organizations such as the Coalition on the Niagara Escarpment (CONE), statuary bodies such as the Niagara Escarpment Commission, and government departments and agencies to protect this unique landform until the present day. As part of his assessment, Avery examines the goals and strategies of competing social groups including mining interests, commercial real estate developers, landowners’ groups and environmental organizations , while providing insight into how they used the political system to achieve their specific goals. This research is based on a wealth of environmental organizational records, government documents, news articles, and interviews with Niagara Escarpment Commission staff, that demonstrates how environmental activism and government stewardship made a difference.

Out of the Dark
by Ella Mehn
Kathleen Thomas is a twelve-year-old girl living in occupied Denmark during World War II. When she falls into a mysterious hole in the woods near her adopted aunts’ house, she loses her beloved Bible and meets a boy named Jack, the first of many compelling strangers to stumble into her life. A teenage Nazi, a baker’s apprentice with a tragic past, and a little girl forced to hide in a closet—all are connected, but how? When Jack’s friend is captured by the Nazis, Kathleen takes action and finds herself plunged into danger. But light can be found in the darkest places, and as friends emerge from the shadows, Kathleen makes discoveries that change her forever: loving one’s enemies and embracing the family God grants us.

Radical Farm
Animals, Food and Our Future by Abey Rae Scaglione
As a species, we have perhaps never been so confused about what to eat. The ethical, environmental, and health-related impacts of our diets are hot topics of discussion, with plant-based lifestyles often touted as the best way forward. But what if the opposite is true? What if animal agriculture is not only beneficial but necessary to ensure the health of our soil, ourselves, and our food system? Part memoir, part homesteading guide, Radical Farm argues this is the case. Drawing on a wealth of research and hands-on experience, author and farmer/rancher Abey Rae Scaglione recounts how her and her family make their living and their life raising animals and growing crops on a heritage farm on Salt Spring Island. Along the way, she argues compellingly for the need for a return to local, regenerative farming practices, setting the record straight on common arguments against meat-eating and highlighting the need for animal agriculture because of animals’ vital relationship with the soil (and the plant foods grown from it). The best way to support animal welfare, she argues, is not by opting out of animal agriculture altogether, but by supporting farms demonstrating good management. Radical Farm is also a guide to the basics of sustainably raising animals and growing plants. With information on cattle, sheep, chickens, turkeys and gardening, this book also includes instructions on how to use and preserve food. With information on canning, fermenting and cheesemaking, as well as plenty of real food recipes, this book is for anyone wanting to take back control of the food they eat. Informative and thoughtful, it is sure to make a welcome addition to the bookshelves of anyone interested in self-sufficiency, sustainability, and our modern food system.
