The dog who was there
by Ron Marasco
"No one expected Barley to have an encounter with the Messiah. He was homeless, hungry, and struggling to survive in first century Jerusalem. Most surprisingly, he was a dog. But through Barley's eyes, the story of a teacher from Galilee comes alive in away we've never experienced before. Barley's story begins in the home of a compassionate woodcarver and his wife who find Barley as an abandoned, nearly-drowned pup. Tales of a special teacher from Galilee are reaching their tiny village, but when life suddenly changes again for Barley, he carries the lessons of forgiveness and love out of the woodcarver's home and through the dangerous roads of Roman occupied Judea. On the outskirts of Jerusalem, Barley meets a homeless man and petty criminal named Samid. Together, Barley and his unlikely new master experience fresh struggles and new revelations. Soon Barley is swept up into the current of history, culminating in an unforgettable encounter with the truest master of all as he bears witness to the greatest story ever told"

Hot Apple Cider With Cinnamon : Stories of Finding Love in Unexpected Places
by N. J. Lindquist
The men, women, and children in these stories experienced love in ways they'd never have thought of, from people they might not normally have noticed, and in surprising places: - on the wrong side of the tracks in small-town Ontario - beside a wood burning stove in the Central African Republic - in the words of an old letter in a New Brunswick house - next to a burned-out Saskatchewan farmhouse - upon a deserted country road in British Columbia - adjacent to a chopped-down jackfruit tree in the Philippines - over a table in an empty Alberta restaurant - at a bus stop in a Quebec city - from the bombed-out ruins of a house in the Netherlands We hope the stories in this book will encourage you to make a difference in the lives of the people around you by showing love toward them, even when you don't feel particularly loving. I love this collection of stories and poems told by great Canadians; stories of real people that transcend the ages. Many of these stories felt like they were a leaf from my own life book. You will find this reading hilarious, therapeutic and inspirational. A must-read for all book lovers. Randall W.
