Authors Shannon Hengen and Ashley Thomson have assembled a reference guide that covers all of the works written by the acclaimed Canadian author Margaret Atwood since 1988, including her novels Cat's Eye, The Robber Bride, Alias Grace, and the 2000 Booker Prize winner, The Blind Assassin. Rather than just including Atwood's books, this guide includes all of Atwood's works, including articles, short stories, letters, and individual poetry. Adaptations of Atwood's works are also included, as are some of her more public quotations. Secondary entries (i.e. interviews, scholarly resources, and reviews) are first sorted by type, and then arranged alphabetically by author, to allow greater ease of navigation. The individual chapters are organized chronologically, with each subdivided into seven categories: Atwood's Works, Adaptations, Quotations, Interviews, Scholarly Resources, Reviews of Atwood's Works, and Reviews of Adaptations of Atwood's Works. The book also includes a chapter entitled 'Atwood on the Web,' as well as extensive author and subject indexes. This new bibliography significantly enhances access to Atwood material, a feature that will be welcomed by university, public, and school librarians. Margaret Atwood: A Reference Guide 1988-2005 will appeal not only to Atwood scholars, but to students and fans of one of Canada's greatest writers.

Life ebbs and flows in and out of seasons...good, bad, joyful, or uncertain. Honestly, some seasons can lead to broken places in our hearts. As a believer going through a tough season, you might lapse into moments of forgetting who God is and need reminders. In this story, you will look at the life of Hagar and compare her situation or circumstances to your own. Consider a few questions: How did you get here? What is your place? What do you know about the character of God? What are His promises? Even if, or when you forget what you know, God reminds you like he did Hagar. God met her at her lowest place and gave her hope. At that encounter, Hagar was so moved she gave God the name El Roi, The God who sees me.
After my twenty-two year marriage ended in what seemed like an instant, God began to talk to me in ways He never had before. As only He can, God took a terrible situation and turned it into a journey that drew me closer and closer to Him. After I lost a marriage that I thought would last forever, God showed me that my journey had really just begun. Through the pain, He taught me that He wants to talk to us as much as we want to hear from him. From being overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit, to dreams, and even through an open vision, God showed me that He will go to every effort to talk to us. His desire to help me, to comfort and guide me amazed me repeatedly. Acts 10:34 tells us that God does not show favoritism. If He will do these things for me, if He wants to talk to me, He wants to talk to you, too! Whether you are going through a similar situation, or some other unpleasant life event, please join me in my walk as we learn just how much God wants to bring us out of a dark situation and turn that darkness around for His glory!
