A Journey Through Torah
Have you been told Leviticus is the most boring book in the entire Bible? It may lack the excitement and the action of Genesis and Exodus, but it contains important teachings for all of us today. In this third volume of A Journey through Torah, the authors examine the world as it was then—a world where people lived in tents or small communities. Here, they gathered in the open spaces of the Tabernacle and brought animals to the priests for slaughter and offerings to God. This was a world and time when people were told how to dress, what they could and could not wear, and how they were to worship God. The authors explore how we can find relevance in the reading of the Book of Leviticus as they seek to answer an essential question: How can we make meaningful connections with God in the world we live in today?

The Surprise of My Life
“It’s an autobiography! If I tell you what’s in it you won’t read the book.” — Claire Drainie Taylor Or would you? Maybe you’d be intrigued by the progression of a life begun as an unexceptional little girl born to a middle-class Jewish Canadian couple in a small prairie town who, at age sixteen, married a refined Englishman, and survived the Great Depression, partly alone in a shack in the woods of Vancouver Island. Or how, only a few months after returning to Vancouver, with no training and minimal education, this same young woman walked on stage at one of Canada’s finest old theatres, and went on to a successful thirty-year career as an actress and radio dialogue writer. Having been compelled by her family to write her memoir, it wasn’t until she’d finished and reread her manuscript that Claire Drainie Taylor realized what an extraordinary life she’d led. Her descriptions of the many fascinating incidents that make up her story, and how she dealt with them, revealed herself to herself in a way that illuminates what she calls “The Surprise of My Life.”
