DETAILS ABOUT THE PACKAGE:
Julian's Cell: An Earthy Story of Julian of Norwich
 Ralph Milton | 224 PP | 5.5" x 8.5" Paper | ISBN: 978-1-896836-50-8 | List price $22.95 | Julian's Cell is a unique work of historical fiction, an attempt to imagine Julian of Norwich's life as it could have been. This is the earthy story of "Katherine" - daughter of a stern and bitter mother. Married at age 16 to Walter, she loses both her children and her husband during the great plagues. She has visions of the passion of Christ and becomes an anchorite - she is "buried alive" in a cell attached to St. Julian's church to lead a life devoted to prayer and spiritual counsel. Today she is known as Mother Julian, or Julian of Norwich, the first woman to write in the English language, and one of the greatest Christian theologians and mystics of all time. Dr. Ralph Milton is one of Canada's best-known religious communicators, and a recipient of an Honorary Doctorate of Sacred Letters from St. Stephen's College, Edmonton. He also has an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from the Vancouver School of Theology. A former news broadcaster, open line host and church administrator, Milton is the author of 17 books.
Creative Aging: Stories of Spirit, Grace and Gratitude
 Carolyn Cowan and Karen Close | 320 PP | 6" x 9" Paper with french flaps | ISBN: 978-1-77064-790-9 | List price $24.95 | Creative Aging is a powerful new social and cultural movement that is stirring the imaginations of communities and people everywhere. Often called Sage-ing, it takes many forms: academic, social and personal. It includes festivals, conferences, classes, group sessions and individual creative pursuits. The Journal Sage-ing With Creative Spirit, Grace and Gratitude was founded to honour the transformational power of creativity. Intended as an initiative for collaboration and sharing, the Journal presents the opportunity for the free exchange of wisdom gleaned from creative engagement. Sage-ing is about seeking - satisfying inner gnawing and transforming it to knowing and action. Aging can be alchemy when one allows the realisation that to Know Thyself and contribute that knowing to our culture is indeed one of life's highest purposes. That knowing brings the gratitude, grace and integrity that a life deserves. The creative journey into self is a strong aid to health and wellbeing for the individual and to our culture. Creative Aging brings together more than 50 essays and galleries of images that showcase the power of the imagination expressed and enjoyed.
After the Beginning
 Carolyn Pogue and Margaret Kyle | 32 PP | 8.5" x11" Hardcover | ISBN 978-1-896836-83-6 | List Price $18.95 | After the Beginning opens with the Divine Family (God, Goddess, and all the angels) celebrating the completion of the universe - sun, moons, and eight perfect planets, with no mistakes at all. But, when Little Angel suggests that there could be one more planet, one where "things aren't the same all the time," things begin to unravel ... God, Goddess, Little Angel, and the whole family of angels - Inventor Angel, Artist Angel, Musician Angel, Arithmetic Angel, Scientist Angel, Geometry Angel, Biology Angel, and Fire Angel - eagerly create a beautiful blue-green planet, filled with plants and animals and birds and fish. And for a long time, everything runs "just right." But then, some of the "new ones," who are just like angels, begin to get greedy and careless with their planet. They poison the water, pollute the air, and cut down the forests. Things get worse and worse, until children - from all around the word - cry "Remember!" "Remember the forest!" "Remember to share!" "Remember the water!" "Remember the air!" In this wise and marvelously enchanting tale, Carolyn Pogue connects the sacredness of the earth, the ecological crisis, and children's leadership in a way that will inspire children and adults alike. A perfect complement, Margaret Kyle's vibrant illustrations create a sense of awe that will move and delight readers of all ages. In this wise and marvelously enchanting tale, Carolyn Pogue connects the sacredness of the earth, the ecological crisis, and children's leadership in a way that will inspire children and adults alike.
Arousing the Spirit: Provocative Writings
 Susan McCaslin | 240 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | ISBN: 978-1-55145-597-6 | List price $24.95 |
These writings by author-poet Susan McCaslin offer fresh and alternative ways of seeing and understanding our relationship with the Spirit. Christian-based, the 14 pieces that make up this collection (on topics such as perfectionism, paradise, the Beatitudes, Revelation, and presence) range beyond the compass of traditional Christianity to reveal universal wisdom and meaning.
Written in beautifully nuanced language that articulates her clear thinking and captures her poet heart, the book reflects the central passions of McCaslin's life. McCaslin believes that actions speak louder than words or beliefs, and her pieces encourage us to explore ways to live life as a "mystical dance." Each chapter is prefaced by one of McCaslin's exquisite poems, leading the reader into a place of quiet contemplation from which to explore the writing. Susan McCaslin is a prize-winning poet and author of eleven volumes of poetry. Susan is Faculty Emeritus of Douglas College where she taught English and Creative Writing for twenty-three years. She lives in Fort Langley, British Columbia.
A Special BONUS - Yours FREE when you order.
If you purchase this Storytelling Package, we'll also send you The Long View: An Elderwoman's Book of Wisdom, an eBook by Donna Sinclair, which is all about finding and offering hope. It's about claiming the full meaning of eldership and knowing that elderwomen have much to offer.
This collection of 365 daily reflections offers elderwomen (and younger women who wish to listen in) an opportunity to nourish the wisdom and deep knowing that comes from life experience. It also holds out the potential for growth, the opportunity to waken to different perspectives that can lead to rich possibilities and courageous actions. The challenges we face today are so enormous, so threatening, it is easy to fall into despair. For this reason especially, elderwomen need to seek hope and offer it generously. A journalist for more than 30 years, Donna Sinclair is an award-winning writer who has traveled widely in Canada, Africa, Central America, Britain, and Eastern Europe, and now lives with her husband Jim in North Bay, Ontario.
