Lent & the Passion of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
A Study by Charles A. Minor and Comfort M. Minor
Every year Christians around the world celebrate the season of Lent. It is the period of the year to commemorate the culmination of the Mission of the Messiah. To rethink His sacrificial suffering, trial and death on Calvary Cross for the redemption of the world; and for personal spiritual reflection. The authors, Charles and Comfort Minor, have ably grabbed the attention of readers to engage them in the conversation of who the characters and accomplices in the plot to inflict suffering and death on Jesus were and what all of that mean for us today. This book is a good study guide for Lent and particularly the Passion or Holy Week.

Spirituality Put in Its Place
by Robert Bond
Something happens and “the way things should be” is upset. Next comes great effort to outdo the hurdle, interruption or sickness and get things back on track. This book is about a missing piece. Spirituality pays attention to the upsets. They are feedback: signposts to be heeded rather than end-run. This is true in medicine, psychology, religion, agriculture, engineering, … every human undertaking. Working from universal norms, the reader is led through meaning-finding and change-making, discovering spirituality in its rightful place.

404 Years
An Auto/biography by Cella Anne
In the early seventeenth century, the sounds of the Atlantic whispering in her ears, Elizabeth Haney rides a ship bearing her from England to the burgeoning colony of Virginia, where she will join her husband, John. It is there that the two will begin a life free from the turmoil of the upheaval of the churches under the rule of King James. Although they don’t know it yet, it is there that they will begin a family story of 404 years—and counting. Historical records brought to life through engaging narrative prose, 404 Years follows the Haney, LeFevre, Beaman, and Stuteville ancestors of Cella Anne, from that first voyage in 1621. In this gripping, informative text, Cella especially gives voice to the women of her family, using research to inform imagined conversations between them as they live through historical moments such as the American Revolution and the abolition of slavery. Interspersed with these stories is Cella’s own journey as she grows up in a U.S. Air Force family, leaves an abusive marriage, earns her Ph.D., and works for social justice. Looking at what was built by those who came before us while recognizing privilege, 404 Years honours where we’ve come from and shows us that it’s never too late to make decisions that will shape the future.

As a United Church minister, Leslie draws strength from her connection with God, yet her story holds comfort and wisdom for anyone seeking hope in dark times. Embracing the mystery of consciousness while demystifying the impacts of cancer treatment, This Is About Life is a manifesto for agency and self-love in the face of difficult realities.

Muffin
A Dog's Life by Muriel West
“No pet can wish for more than this: to be lovingly cared for while alive, and fondly remembered thereafter.” This story is an almost-true personal account of Muffin; a lovable, floppy-eared, mixed-breed dog. Born in Nova Scotia in 1980, Muffin’s tale begins with a military family who are challenged to give him the care that a frisky young pup requires. Fortuitously, he acquires a new forever-home with a kind young couple who are seeking a guard-dog. Over the course of his lifetime, Muffin experiences love, loss, and the simple joys of life, leaving an indelible mark on the many friends he makes, human and otherwise. Set against the backdrop of rural Nova Scotia, this story celebrates the forging of deep bonds which are possible between people and their cherished furry companions. This chapter book is designed for the enjoyment of children, particularly from ages of 5–10. Atlantic Canadian children especially may relate well to this story. The author sincerely hopes that readers of all ages will delight in Muffin’s clever autobiography as much as she has enjoyed helping Muffin craft his simple yarn.
