 Thine is the kingdom /by James S. Stewart. This little book is based on lectures delivered under the auspices of the Duff Missionary Trust.

Three rival versions of moral enquiry: encyclopaedia, genealogy, and tradition : being Gifford lectures delivered in the University of Edinburgh in 1988 /by Alasdair MacIntyre. MacIntyre’s project is to put up a fight against philosophical relativism. MacIntyre claims that different schools of philosophy must differ fundamentally about what counts as a rational way to settle intellectual differences. Reading between the lines, one can see that he has in mind nationalities as well as thinkers, and literary criticism as well as academic philosophy.

 Tough trip through paradise, 1878-1879 /by Andrew Garcia ; edited by Bennett H. Stein.  The autobiography of Andrew Garcia (1853-1943), a man of Hispanic descent who was born in El Paso, but moved north to Montana in 1876 and became a mountain man.

 Uninvited: living loved when you feel less than, left out, and lonely /Lysa TerKeurst.  Lysa shares her own deeply personal experiences of rejection–from the perceived judgment of the perfectly toned woman one elliptical over to the incredibly painful childhood abandonment by her father. She leans in to honestly examine the roots of rejection, as well as rejection’s ability to poison relationships from the inside out, including our relationship with God. Uninvited reminds us we are destined for a love that can never be diminished, tarnished, shaken, or taken–a love that does not reject or uninvite.

 Very close to trouble: the Johnny Grant memoir /edited with historical annotations by Lyndel Meikle.  Trader, wrangler, and raconteur, Johnny Grant (1831-1907) lived “very close to trouble” on the wide open Montana/Idaho frontier of the mid-nineteenth century. The son of a Hudson’s Bay Company official, he was a young man caught in the cross-currents of Indian, Canadian, and American cultures. In his entertaining reminiscences, Grant delineates the differences as well as the frequent interaction and cooperation of these frontier peoples. As such, Very Close to Trouble brings to life the chiefs, warriors, traders, and ranchmen of the 1840s-1850s, and the miners, merchants, entrepreneurs, settlers, soldiers, and road agents who surged into the Bitterroots and northern Rockies with the gold strikes of the 1860s. In 1867, he relocated to Canada’s Great Plains, witnessing the famous Riel Rebellion. Grant’s description of the landscape and population of the early interior Northwest is a much anticipated addition to the  historical writings of this pioneer era. His exciting observations of Montana’s famous vigilante movement, for example, provide valuable new testimony to the Montana gold rush literature of the early 1860s.

 Voyage of a summer sun: canoeing the Columbia River /Robin Cody. The author describes his three month adventure on the Columbia River.

 Way out West: on the trail of an errant ancestor /Michael Shaw Bond. In 1862, a British lord named Viscount Milton and his friend  Dr. Cheadle, set out to travel across what is now western Canada. Starting their journey in the Red River Colony (Winnipeg), they hired guides and proceeded across the prairie, encountering both Natives and Hudson’s Bay Company traders, and enduring a gruelling journey through the Yellowhead Pass, in terrible conditions, down the Thompson River to Kamloops. They moved down the Fraser River from the B.C. interior to New Westminster and took a steamer to Victoria, from which they visited the Cariboo goldfields, and then headed home from Victoria by ship via Panama. Their book about the trip, The North-West Passage by Land, published in England in 1865, was a huge success.  Bond – a great-great-grandson of Viscount Milton, and a London journalist –  travelled in the footsteps of his distinguished ancestor. Hitch-hiking and walking across the prairies, searching  for the descendants of the natives who helped Milton and Cheadle survive their first winter, and encountering both grandeur and extreme discomfort on horseback through the mountains, Bond tackles his experience with curiosity, good humour, and a good deal of Milton’s own courage. In the process he discovers not only Milton’s trail, but much about Milton – and himself. On his Canadian adventure Milton was able to escape the pressures and expectations of his position, and come to an awareness of what he did well. So too did Bond, dealing with a difficult relationship and a time of uncertainty in his life, find in his adventure a time in which life is reduced to essentials, and priorities are clarified – through the centuries the reward of pilgrimage.

 When Athens met Jerusalem: an introduction to classical and Christian thought /John Mark Reynolds. When Athens Met Jerusalem provides  a well-informed introduction to the intellectual underpinnings  — Greek, Roman and Christian —  of Western civilization and highlights how certain current intellectual trends are now eroding those very foundations. This work makes a powerful contribution to the ongoing faith versus reason debate, showing that these two dimensions of human knowing are not diametrically opposed, but work together under the direction of revelation.

When love’s in view: finding focus in dating and relationships /Conway and Jada Edwards. The Edwards  write from the heart to Christian singles about the best way to prepare for marriage. Discussing courtship and dating from a biblical perspective, they also share their personal story- including the mistakes they made along the way. The result is a thought-provoking, encouraging manual on making the most of your single years, and getting yourself ready for marriage.

 Why we belong: evangelical unity and denominational diversity /edited by Anthony L. Chute, Christopher W. Morgan, and Robert A. Peterson. Showing how denominational affiliation can be natural without being negative, and how evangelical identity can help rather than hinder Christian unity, Why We Belong explains both the personal and doctrinal reasons each of the following contributors fit not only in their church, but also in the Church.

 Why you matter: how your quest for meaning is meaningless without God /Michael Sherrard. Sherrard shows that life is only meaningful if God exists and explains how that knowledge provides clarity for a number of important issues, such as identity, hardship, ethics, and vocation”
