Of Glass and Ashes
A glass blower with a unique ability. Ember Farrow breathes magic into every piece of glass she makes. It’s a gift handed down through generations in her family of fire elementals-- all the way back to when her great-great-grandfather created Cinderella’s slippers. But then the slippers are stolen. . . and Ember is the prime suspect. An FBI agent determined to crack the case. Every criminal claims to be innocent, and Agent Calder Ford isn’t easily convinced. Still, his gut tells him there’s more to this case than meets the eye . . . and the same goes for the fiery woman who challenges him at every turn. She may not be a crook, but she’s definitely hiding something . . . and Ford’...
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is an opposing Spirit the Bible calls the Spirit of the Antichrist. It is at heart the denial of The Shema (the greatest commandment). It is declaring that “Yahuah came to Earth as a man and died to save us”. We call this the Doctrine of Incarnation. The "carn" in "incarnation" refers to flesh or meat (of the human body). Thus, "incarnate" means "in the flesh". REINCARNATION is a word that means "to be born again (in the flesh)". Any concept of a Trinity or a Bi-Entity is blasphemy as Yahuah has declared He is ONE and He is Spirit and cannot and will not “come in the flesh”. The phrase “in the flesh” means... “natural/physical origin (not Spiritual)...
Hope for God's Creation
What are the connections between the Great Commission and creation care? In Hope for God’s Creation, Andrew Spencer develops a Christian vision for creation care that is rooted in the goodness of the physical world and the hope for new creation. Spencer demonstrates that a hopeful and realistic environmental ethic is a natural result of an orthodox, evangelical theology. An accessible, biblical, and winsome guide, Spencer’s work invites the reader to consider stewardship as a way of life and an act of worship.
The Wedding Invitation
The Spring Feasts rehearse the Engagement and the Fall Feast are a rehearsal of the Wedding. We should approach our celebration of these Moedim from that standpoint. If we do, not only will we please Yahuah, but we will mature from the milk of the Word to the meat of it. In the process, we will fulfill “the letter” and properly prepare ourselves as the Bride; and have our candles lit when Yahusha returns to receive us unto himself. We read in 1 Corinthians 2:7 that Sha’ul mention “predestined before the ages to our glory”! We are going to go back to the very beginning, before the Feasts of Yahuah were given orally to Adam and before they were written down in detailed instructions in The Mosaic Covenant. Why? Because now, in The Yahushaic Covenant, they have found their ultimate meaning Spiritually; meaning which was ordained before the foundation of the world and predestined before the ages, as Sha’ul stated.

Contributors explore what deregulation means in the context of political campaigns--from scandals and reform to public opinion and campaign finance law
Authenticity and Belonging in the Northern Soul Scene
This book, which builds on a three-year immersive ethnographic study, argues that what scene participants do and say within the northern soul scene constitutes a claim to belong. For younger members, making claims to belong is problematic in a scene where dominant notions of authenticity held by insiders are rooted in a particular past: the places, people, events, and soundscapes of particular venues during the 1970s. In order to engage with this past, young men and women participate in a range of discursive practices. This book argues that these practices, and the ways they intersect and deviate from dominant notions of authenticity, represent shared and individual negotiations of the 'true soulie'. In doing so, it reveals the rich experiences of the younger generation of this multigenerational music scene, and the ways they establish a claim to belong to a scene first formed before they were born.

Honest Politics Now
For many, honest politics is an oxymoron. Yet there have been enormous changes in Canadian public life in the past two decades to identify and address expectations that politicians and officials will act honestly and in the public interest. Using high-profile political scandals as case studies, this book explores the standards of accountability to which Canadian politicians are now being held. Among the case studies addressed are the gas plant scandal in Ontario, the "Railgate" scandal in B.C., the Robocalls affair, the "sponsorship scandal", Stephen Harper's attack on the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and the saga of Rob Ford. This book critically analyzes changes introduced and implemented over the last twenty years intended to deal with ethical issues in politics, including the boom of independent ethics commissioners, the regulation of lobbyists in Canada, and federal efforts to protect whistle-blowers. Contributors to the book include experts in all these areas, drawn from across the country.
The Consulting Trap
The Consulting Trap does a deep dive into how governments have become hooked on private consultancy firms with dire consequences for democratic decision-making, public accountability and accessible public services. Hurl and Werner contend that firms like McKinsey, Accenture, KPMG and Deloitte increasingly take responsibility for core public services, trapping governments in cycles of dependency. Through orchestrating tax avoidance for the wealthy while engineering austerity for the rest, these firms have created the foundations for the deepening privatization of the public services, further entrenching their power. Drawing on case studies from Canada and around the world, Hurl and Werner investigate how big consultancies leverage social networks, institutionalize relationships, mine and commodify data, and establish policy pipelines that facilitate the quick diffusion of ideas across jurisdictions. Drawing from real world examples, The Consulting Trap offers strategies for how these powerful firms can be resisted using people’s audits, public consultations, access to information requests, and social network analyses.
