School children across the country wrote to the Prime Minister pleading to have the horses returned to the island, to save them from certain death. This fictional account of that pivotal moment in Canada's history follows young Lucas Beauregard, son of the retiring superintendent of Sable Island, as he befriends and then plots to save Gem, one of the horses.

Paperback. Condición: Good. In Riding with the Wind, Fay Hoh Yin paints an indelible portrait of three generations of her family in China as the imperial era ends and war with Japan begins. Her parents are among the first young people to escape the archaic traditions of foot binding and arranged marriage, then use their newfound freedom to study in the West. They return home in the early 1920s to become pioneering educators and proponents of physical fitness and sports. In lyrical prose, the author recalls scenes from her improbably happy childhood amid bombs and atrocities.Yin later comes to the U.S. herself, marries a fellow foreign student, and starts a family. Tragically, she loses her husband at age thirty-seven, but forges a unique partnership with her widowed mother-in-law that far outlasts either of their marriages. Yin's stories of daring, hardship, and perseverance are deeply personal, yet illuminate the changing roles of women in 20th century China and the United States.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. What we believe is our filter for everything. Our beliefs dictate how we walk before God, how we see people, sin, disease, and life. What we believe matters. What we believe about the Bible matters even more. What the Bible actually says matters most. Everyone has theology, whether Christians or atheist. And just because we believe something does not make it true, accurate, or correct. God said that His people were destroyed because of their lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). How devastating when we have such an abundance to study the Bible. Engineers study for a degree, so that they can build buildings, yet so many Christians don't study in order to build their lives. Book 1: Curses and Book 2: Demons and Christians have both been a subject of study for me since the late 1990s. Since George and I have moved a great deal, we have been a part of many different churches. When I first started to study these two subjects we were in a church where Christians were constantly breaking curses off each other and casting demons out of each other as their solutions to their problems. Whether it was sexual problems, financial, interpersonal, mental, or prayer problems, the answer was to break it off or cast it out. It was in the midst of this barrage of problems that the Lord opened my eyes to His truth concerning curses and demonic habitation within Christians. Jesus said, And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). Let us be students of the truth. Confronting the Wind is a systematic biblical treatise discussing the subjects of curses, demonology, and New Testament living. What are generational curses? Have you ever wondered if you were under a generational curse? Do the words of mortals have spiritual power to bind you? Have the words spoken by others, or even yourself, bound you by forces unseen in the natural world? If so, then how can you be free? And what about creation, is it cursed? And regarding demons: Can demons curse you? Can they live inside you? Just exactly what power do they have over mankind or Christians? How can we walk in victory? What is biblical New Testament Christian living? Confronting the Wind answers there questions through careful exegesis.…
