Our lives are filled with in-between times, those times when we are not quite where we would like to be (or where we thought we'd be). Dreams are on hold, prayers seem unanswered, and life can feel hard. And just when we think we have it all together, life happens again! During these times it can be difficult to see God in our situations and trust him with the future. With empathy and wit, Debbie Alsdorf uses the book of Philippians to encourage women to lean on God, to live one day at a time, to rejoice and not to worry, and to give thanks to God in all circumstances of life. The confidence and peace readers will gain from the perspective presented in this loving book will help them live fully in the moment, in every season of life.

In this complete collection of the webcomic West of Bathurst, which ran between 2006 and 2014, Marie Dumont, a graduate student newly arrived in Toronto, takes up residence at U of T's Davies College and finds herself sucked into a strange world in which robes are expected, socialising is mandatory, and everybody puts way too much effort into the annual Murder Game. Struggling to pay at least some attention to her studies as she juggles old ghosts and new friendships, Marie stumbles through a world that is almost ordinary, except perhaps when mythological beings wander the streets of Toronto or objects burst spontaneously into flame. She is accompanied by cynical Rahim, dotty Sherlock Holmes-wannabe Barbara, and devious Casey, who is quite possibly Satan. In the process, Marie tries as hard as any twenty-something graduate student never to grow up. She also consumes a fair number of maple doughnuts, but that's only to be expected.
An Invitation to Reflect and Pray During Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany There is no busier time of year than Christmas. So much is vying for our time and attention that it seems impossible to slow down and ponder the true meaning of the season. What a relief it is that God understands our desire to be still and wants the same for us. His Word helps prepare our hearts for the miracle of Christmas—the story of an almighty God sending his only son into the world to save us. Eighth Day Prayers is meant to usher us into a place of reverence and prayer where we await the coming Messiah (Advent), celebrate Jesus’ arrival (Christmas), and realize the fulfillment of his promises to us (Epiphany)...
