York has been America's historic crossroads since the town was laid out in 1741. From 1777 through 1778, it was the seat of American government from which the Second Continental Congress led the fledgling nation. Less than a century later, York became the largest northern town occupied by the Confederate army. Gilded Age prosperity created a vibrant and growing town throughout the first half of the twentieth century. York showcases this period with a unique collection of vintage postcards. Travel back to an era of trolley cars, five-and-dimes, downtown department stores, and high-style buildings that all helped to define this dynamic community.

Winner of the 2010 Donald Grant Creighton Award Artist Frances Gage, born in 1924 in Windsor, experienced both artistic recognition and acute despair in her life, yet she flourished in her work and as part of the contemporary Toronto art scene. A friend of Frances Loring and Florence Wyle, she developed a greater connection with the Group of Seven, working closely with Frederick Varley and producing reliefs of both him and A.Y. Jackson while working in Tom Thomson’s shack Frances remained focused and positive and became a successful sculptor, creating more than five hundred works of art. Still, even though she achieved the dream she strove toward during all the years of struggle, she discovered that the Dante-like Paradise she had sought and gained was instead the poet’s Inferno in disguise. Her correspondence, as referenced in this remarkable biography, bears out this insight in a life often marked by unsatisfying triumph over tragedy. It presents a candid view of one of Canada’s most fascinating artists of the twentieth century.

This book argues that the authentic church is the most precious thing on earth. It addresses such critical issues as the Church's true identity and God's intention for the Church on earth in the 21st Century as opposed to alternate humanly devised paradigms. It directs us back to God's original glorious purposes and postulates that when we work to God's original plan our experience moves closer to that of the New Testament church and we set in motion healing and restoration within the organic body of Christ. It does not avoid the hard topics such as authority in the church, the biblical distinction between gifts and offices, contemporary unbiblical practices, church discipline, sectarianism and eschatology. It provides insights as to how the timeless spiritual principles which governed the New Testament church can be applied in the vastly changed Western society of the 21st Century. The author sounds a prophetic trumpet call for our times, calling the Church to return to her Head and presenting a biblical alternative to the failed institutionalised church culture. This book will also be helpful for those who have suffered from abusive churches.
