    CA$14.95
    “The trick is to age honestly and gracefully and make it look great so that everyone looks forward to it.”—Emma Thompson

    Aging itself is a bit of a conundrum, as the only alternative to growing older is not living. Despite all the niggling little physiological changes that start to show up with predictability, every day older is a privilege, good health is a gift and feeling youthful is a choice.

    It’s all about perspective.

  • Leper Who Became a Prince...

    CA$14.95
    Imagine yourself seated near a flickering bonfire on an African night, listening to stories told by the elders of the tribe; folklore that passes on tradition, culture, history and manners. Or simply entertains.

  • God is Remerseth

    CA$14.95
    "There is one thing that we all must do. If we do everything else but that one thing, we will be lost. And if we do nothing else but that one thing, we will have a glorious life." Rumi (Persian poet and philosopher, 1207-1273)

    Expression through poetry is Murray A. Logan's "one thing". Written over several decades, God is Remerseth is an eclectic collection of poems - highlights (so far!) of the adventures in faith of a father, doctor's husband, prison chaplain and pastor.
  • It Takes 2 to Tango, Maybe...

    CA$14.95
    This book speaks to the power of commitment and availability as a treatment tool to effect the most change. In traditional therapy the therapist sits on one side of the process and the client sits on the other. In Dr. Manswell's approach, the therapist, while still respecting the boundaries of therapist and client, becomes part of the solution. Trust, availability, respect, commitment and patience shared equally amongst these three key players makes the difference. Gambling addiction is such a puzzle to those not afflicted with this disability. Dr. Manswell and his clients help us gain insight into the thinking process and emotions that are at war within the gambler as they struggle to overcome the devastating hold gambling has over their lives. It is a story of pain, but more importantly it is a story of hope and of perseverance — and, finally, of success.
