Harry Ferguson was an engineering genius. His ability to visualise and build a new system that changed the role of the tractor on the farm, changed farming around the world. The system in use today is still the same system he developed, all those years ago and this book tells how he saved countless farmers lives. We also read how the design changed the way tractors are used on farms. We hear about the effect on the 1930’s Wall St crash ans the need for the tractor and how the little grey Fergie saved an Australian town. The story then tells us about a Danish company that has made the tractor a media star. Harry Ferguson and his tractor, changed the world.
James Douglas’s story is one of high adventure in pre-Confederation Canada. It weaves through the heart of Canadian and Pacific Northwest history when British Columbia was a wild land, Vancouver didn’t exist, and Victoria was a muddy village. Part black and illegitimate, Douglas was born in British Guiana (now Guyana) in 1803 to a Scottish plantation owner and a mixed-race woman. After schooling in Scotland, the fifteen-year-old Douglas sailed to Canada in 1819 to join the fur trade. With roads non-existent, he travelled thousands of miles each year, using the rivers and lakes as his highways. He paddled canoes, drove dogsleds, and snowshoed to his destinations. Douglas became a hard-nosed fur trader, married a part-Cree wife, and nearly provoked a war between Britain and the United States over the San Juan Islands on the West Coast. When he was in his prime, he established Victoria and secrured the western region of British North America from the Russian Empire and the expansionist Americans. Eventually, Douglas became the controversial governor of the Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia and oversaw the frenzied Fraser and Cariboo gold rushes.
Throughout the centuries, the Letter of James has proved to be an excellent refresher course in what it means to live the Christian life. It is only a few pages long. It can be read out loud in twenty minutes. It is very direct and extremely practical. Several themes run through the Letter of James and make clear what his burden is. He writes about suffering and joy, riches and poverty, faith and works, the tongue and speech, and about wisdom and folly. In a word, he writes about the heart and life of the Christian believer. James's bte noire is false and hollow piety; pious platitudes are anathema to him. Faith that does not issue in good works, a holy life, concern for the needy, and a disciplined use of the tongue, is for James no faith at all. As with other volumes in the Let's Study series, the value of Let's Study James is enhanced by the Group Study Guide which follows.
Enter God's Rest: Lessons Learned from Mary and Martha

"Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." (John 4:35 KJV)Enter God's Rest was written to remind us that the ultimate form of trust is resting when we feel as if we should be working. Time and time again, throughout the Bible, Jesus is being ministered to while others continued to work. For instance, when Martha went off to prepare food, Jesus was being fed by Mary sitting at his feet hearing and believing the Word of the Lord. When the disciples went off to buy food, Jesus was being fed by the woman at the well hearing and believing the Word of the Lord. On the Mount of Transfiguration, God didn't say this is my beloved son, feed him. He said this is my beloved Son, hear him. There is a well-intended, but poverty inducing mindset that hinders Christians from receiving the abundance of God that is ours through faith in the name of Jesus; that is ours as joint heirs with Christ; and that has been set aside for us. Because of this mindset we try to create through our works what we should be receiving through our faith in the name of Jesus, who was not sent to be ministered unto but to minister unto us. Often our answers are in resting, not in working. We must learn to discern the time. Enter God's Rest will help you do just that. "Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." (Matthew 20:28 KJV)

The Glory of the Cross takes us through a series of meditations on the last hours of Jesus' life, from the Last Supper to Calvary. James Philip, Scottish theologian and pastor, brings unusually perceptive insight into Christ's "fierce, costly love." This book is intended to be read in both personal devotion and together with others.A blend of doctrinal instruction and pastoral application, poetically and intelligently written. A foreword by Sinclair Ferguson emphasises Philip's depth of feeling and clarity of expression. A study guide in the back of the book makes this book useful for Bible studies, Sunday schools, and church small group settings.
