The winner of the 2006 Best New Canadian Christian Author Award. No matter how far you run, God will find you. No matter how bad you've been, God will forgive you. Alex Donnelly is running and trying to hide. He has picked a good place to do it - The Yukon - but he is pursued by friends, enemies, and most effectively, by God. Burning with the need to know about his parents, Alex returns to his birth-city, Seattle, where he discovers that his mother tried to abort him. The trauma sends him on the run again only to find out God has orchestrated a divine appointment for him back in the Yukon. The story is filled with miraculous healing, struggles with rage and an obsession with revenge for a childhood abuser. This story illustrates that God never gives up on those whom He has chosen. God's mercy and grace extend even to those who consider themselves unworthy, and even more, to those who are considered unworthy in the eyes of the world.

With Holy chutzpah and a bold trust in miracles led Morris and Annie Zeidman to found The Scott Mission in 1941. With the help of their children, they built one of Toronto's best-loved inner city ministries: "the Miracle on Spadina." Through the eyes of their daughter Elaine Zeidman Markovic, a remarkable story unfolds of blessings, heartbreak and personal triumph--and the presence of God who never failed, even in the darkest hours, to renew hope and restore their faith.

This is the story of one small ministry that is making a big difference in the lives of thousands of children across the world. It's not just the story of man's efforts to reach out to and help children; it's not just the story of people seeking to meet the needs of children in a Biblical and cost-effective way; but it is the story of the gracious and miraculous workings of God through these facts! It's also the story of God's amazing provision, of His leading, of His power and the story of how obedience to the call of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit produces fruit. This is the story of God at work in and through the lives of faithful men and women who have given themselves to be 'the Arms of Jesus' and to reach the most needy of all unreached groups; children. It was written to bring hope to a hurting world, hope in the faithfulness of God, and it is written with a heart full of thankfulness to God for what He has done and is doing, and for the privilege we all could have of being involved in His work.

Reflections is a truly unique collection of wisdom, insights and "e;lessons-learned along the way,"e; highlighting almost 50 years of the robust ministry of Cal Bombay. Recounting his diverse ministries, extensive travels and life experiences, Reflections is sometimes an anthology and other times a collection of rich encounters, memories and musings. Cal's life reads like an adventure novel and his remembrance of these encounters and lessons learned show a keen sense of God's providence at every step in his life. Most ministers would be pleased to have even one of Cal's many experiences. His reflections are at times built on the impact of a mere peculiar incident, other times it is the profoundness of a random thought that occupied his mind for a while, and then there are insights from years of trodding the paths of life with God as a personal friend-being mentored every moment and turning every rich encounter into a reflection. Cal's hope is that perhaps what he writes in the pages of Reflections will give his readers a positive insight into the ways of God with man. That is his prayer and stated purpose in writing this book. The reader will find his perspective interesting, exciting, frightening, intimidating, daunting and even threatening - but never fearful. Forward is the only direction Cal knows.

Are you called upon to give wisdom and direction, inspiration and hope, vision and paths of execution - sometimes with little notice? Leaders get this all the time - and being a leader at home, at church or in an organization - is not easy. So where does one access the resources to make decisions and to lead? If you desire to be better prepared the next time you feel discouraged...by leadership indecision; by hardships of your role pressing in on you; or by waning enthusiasm about being a leader... Mentoring Wisdom could be the encouragement you need. Carson Pue knows - perhaps better than anyone - that 'two people shorten the road' and sometimes you just need a word of wisdom. This mentor, seasoned by experience, shares a collection of spiritually insightful thoughts. With gripping honesty these practical nuggets are delivered as if you are sitting across the desk from a trusted friend. Included with each is a scriptural verse pointing towards faith and God's promise to walk with you through each day. For each topic, Carson hones in on leadership values while providing tested practices learned through his lifework developing servant leaders. Woven into each section is a prayer that can be used to guide a leader's own prayers into their situation. Every page invites God to speak to the reader and enjoy the peace of His presence.
