This book is about Archangel Gabriels explanation of some of the words and phrases of the Bible. In nearly all his lessons (from 19871999), he quoted many Bible phrases. Most importantly, he explained the symbolic meaning of the Revelation to John, the last book of the New Testament. He clearly stated that this book is not about a horrific end-time but, rather, humankinds journey back home to God. Also, Jesus the Christ told us about his true journey two thousand years ago, correcting some misconceptions, providing original wording of mistranslations in the Bible, and expressing concern that his message was not passed on as he intended. Instead of his message of love and forgiveness, we got caught up in the miracles he performed.

Nico had come to the United States from France to hunt for his father, whom all authorities, French and American, believed to be dead long since. His search began in Cleveland and extended through Columbus, Chicago, St. Louis, across the plains and on to the coast. As he traveled, he met people; ordinary people, unusual people, a gas station attendant, a motherly housewife, a man who knew the history of Cincinnati, a noisy family, an Indian, a wise and visionary bum, people who hindered him, people who helped him. Worst was a menacing tramp in a freight car. Best was an older boy, Dud, who became Nico's good friend and the companion of his travels. Pursuers were after him constantly. In order to continue his quest he had to evade recapture by the organization responsible for his American adoption, but he was armed with determination and a short lifetime of experience in fending for himself, without parents or home, in postwar Paris.

A native of Long Island, New York, Pete Young first grew cannabis on the roof of a friend’s apartment building when he was fifteen years of age. A fascination with marijuana cultivation quickly followed, with Young mastering the specifics of HID lighting, hydroponics, water polymers, genetics, organic fertilization, soil mix, outdoor growing and seed generation. After permanently relocating to southwestern Ontario in the late-1980s, Young took part in one of the first constitutional challenges to Canada’s drug laws following a police raid on the Great Canadian Hemporium, a head shop in London, Ontario. Around this time, Young befriended a young man whose severe cystic fibrosis was aided by one thing only – marijuana consumption. Young started growing marijuana for medical users, and over the next twenty years became one of the biggest producers and distributors of illicit medical marijuana in Canada. A once-frequent contributor to High Times magazine, and a regular medal winner at the international Cannabis Cup, Young has had to overcome every obstacle facing the guerilla grower, including crop theft, forest fire, police arrest, bankruptcy, home invasion, physical assault and, perhaps most intimidating of all, hungry male deer. In 2015, Young stepped onto the right side of the law when he was named master grower at Indiva, a licensed, government-sanctioned producer of medical marijuana. Riveting, funny and unsparingly truthful, Master Grower recalls one man’s transformation from renegade gardener to boardroom participant, a high-octane voyage that also captures the way in which a culture’s attitude toward its illegal substances can, and will, evolve.

Love and tragedy converge in a seaside town in The High Road, a newly reissued novel from Edna O’Brien, the author of Girl and “one of the most celebrated writers in the English language” (NPR’s Weekend Edition) This richly peopled, compellingly readable novel explores the many lives of women—as mystic, mother, daughter, and lover. There is Iris, with her “winsome wonsome” ways, no longer young; there is Charlotte, a troubled debutante who has fled from society; and there is the narrator, Anna, who feels that her emotional life has folded until she meets a young Spanish girl named Catalina.

This deeply funny satire continues the story of Honest Angus McLintock, an amateur politician who dares to do the unthinkable: tell the truth. Just when Daniel Addison thinks he can escape his job as a political aide, Angus McLintock, the no-hope candidate he helped into Parliament, throws icy cold water over his plans. Angus has just brought down the government with a deciding vote. Now the crusty Scot wants Daniel to manage his next campaign. Soon Daniel is helping Angus fight an uphill battle against "Flamethrower" Fox, a Conservative notorious for his dirty tactics. Together they decide to take "The High Road" and—against all odds—turn the race into a nail-biter with hilarious ups and downs, cookie-throwing seniors, and even a Watergate-style break-in. But that's only the beginning. Add a political storm in the capital and a side-splitting visit from the U.S. President and his alcoholic wife, and Terry Fallis's second novel is a wildly entertaining read full of deft political satire and laugh-out-loud comedy.
