DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Are you ready to give Jesus a second look? Many of us have absorbed an image of Jesus from the culture around us. Once that sinks in everything we experience, watch, hear, or read only serves to reinforce what we think we already know about him. There is so much more to the story though. In this book, we’ll take an honest look at one of the best-known passages in Scripture—Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Some of the concepts you will explore in a new way are: –What it means to be poor in spirit –How to be the salt of the earth –Why Jesus turned the law on its head –How God’s judgment displays graciousness and generosity –What Jesus’ model for prayer really tells us about our relationship with God –How seeking, asking, and knocking impacts you—and those around you –What taking “the narrow road” means for your life If you are interested in exploring Jesus’ teaching, read Dirt and Stardust and see that you are a part of what is good about both the dirt under your feet and the cosmos above your head. You are invited into a story much bigger than you were perhaps first told about.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →People are nature. From the water we drink to the trees we climb, we are connected to the natural world in big and surprising ways. With simple, poetic text, and exquisite artwork, You Are Stardust introduces kids to these connections - sparking their imaginations and starting conversations. Combining the ideas of environmental author and educator Elin Kelsey with inventive, three-dimensional dioramas by artist Soyeon Kim, this remarkable picture book reveals ties that are often sensed, yet seldom explained. Children will learn that the salt in their body is the same as the salt in the ocean, that they learned to speak in the same way that baby birds do - by copying their parents, and that elephants, bats and whales make friends, just like they do. In a world dominated by technology, never have these connections between people and nature been more worth exploring.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →WINNER of the EDNA STAEBLER AWARD for CREATIVE NON–FICTION From its opening image of the varied workforce at a Vancouver postal station, Stardust is a series of literary essays defining Bruce Serafin's world. The teenage Serafin is a captivating figure, freshly arrived from the United States and eager to immerse himself in the particular delights of a still largely frontier–era Vancouver. As a young man enrolled at SFU, he refuses the perm pressed upon him in a Chinatown barber shop and eavesdrops on his rowdy neighbours in a Powell Street apartment house. Working in the post office, Serafin discovers Michel Tremblay's The Fat Woman Next Door is Pregnant and realizes for the first time that writing about working–class people is not only possible, but desirable. Later, Serafin embarks upon an intimate criticism of touchstones of Western culture. Roland Barthes and Daniel Defoe are counterparts, he suggests, and shows why. Leonard Cohen was read so avidly by the young proto–hippies of the era not because of his writing, but because he physically modelled a way to be cool. The ceremonial objects collected by anthropologists, according to Serafin, are not actually art but something else again. Serafin critiques literary magazines and western novels. He discusses the work of Don DeLillo, Terry Glavin, Steve McCaffery, Northrop Frye, and William Henry Drummond. There's an engagement to these essays that lightly sketches the workings of a mind forever learning.
