'I saw my teacher in the queue in the supermarket last Christmas. Miss Baxter. I was surprised to see her. She'd been dead six months.' In Out of the Depths, Cathy MacPhail introduces her latest character, Tyler Lawless, who has an unusual and sometimes scary gift. She is able to see dead people. And sometimes they speak to her, asking for her help. When Tyler moves to a new school she is hoping to make a fresh start. But it is very difficult to make a fresh start when a boy who is supposed to be dead appears in your classroom, and statues in the school seem to come alive and point towards the place where the dead boy, Ben Kincaid, was murdered.

The Indian Residential School in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, was established by the Canadian government in 1929 to provide residential education to orphan, destitute, neglected, and other Mi'kmaw Indian children aged 7-16. Since many Indian parents were poor and unable to provide for their children, they felt the school was a chance for their children to have adequate clothing and food as well as an education. The parents did not understand that when they signed school registration papers, they were transferring guardianship of their children to the school principal. The school's staff of 10 nuns and a priest (principal) provided room and board and education to an annual population of about 2...
Israel Meir Lau, one of the youngest survivors of Buchenwald, was just eight years old when the camp was liberated in 1945. Descended from a 1,000-year unbroken chain of rabbis, he grew up to become Chief Rabbi of Israel--and like many of the great rabbis, Lau is a master storyteller. Out of the Depths is his harrowing, miraculous, and inspiring account of life in one of the Nazis deadliest concentration camps, and how he managed to survive against all possible odds. Lau, who lost most of his family in the Holocaust, also chronicles his life after the war, including his emigration to Mandate Palestine during a period that coincides with the development of the State of Israel. The story continues up through today, with that once-lost boy of eight now a brilliant, charismatic, and world-revered figure who has visited with Popes John Paul and Benedict; the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, and countless global leaders including Ronald Reagan, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Tony Blair.

Can we receive salvation from God unless we know what it is to repent? Is it possible for a person to be a Christian without true repentance? If you are looking for understanding on such questions one of the classic passage to turn to in Old Testament to turn to is Psalm 51. The Psalm takes us back the story of David who had committed adultery with King Uriah's wife, Bathsheba. This is an unpleasant story but nevertheless this moving study gives readers a fuller understanding of the importance of repentance both for the unsaved and for Christians. Looking at Psalm 51 Out of the Depths details the sinner's confession, helplessness and a central need. There is good news though, Lloyd Jones goes on to say that there is deliverance and new life. This book will be a help to you if you are a earnest seeker who wants to take that first step on the road to salvation, and for the troubled Christian desiring to find again the path to a restore relationship with God.
Written from prison, Out of the Depths is a journey through sorrow, suffering, and despair, ultimately leading to a new vision of hope, love, and beauty. In exquisite yet gut-wrenching prose, Oscar Wilde processes his dramatic fall and public humiliation, and elucidates what he's learned from his descent into the shadow side of life. He also gives a unique, nonreligious interpretation of Jesus Christ, and reflects profoundly on the relationship between art and sorrow. Wilde charts the way through sorrow--not around it. He shows that we have to take responsibility for our lives--owning our own actions as well as the circumstances that are dealt to us--in order to take charge of our futures. "To regret one's own experiences," he says, "is to arrest one's development." If we respond to suffering with love and acceptance instead of hate and bitterness, we will turn it to our benefit--just as nature turns waste and decay into the soil of new life. Wilde teaches us the alchemy by which anguish can be transmuted into empathy and art. Today, with depression and despair afflicting so many--particularly creative and sensitive people--Wilde's reflections are needed more than ever.
A profound book of spiritual insight that helps believers live a deep life in God beneath the turmoil of our hurried business.
