If More Walls Could Talk
Valerie Green and Lynn Gordon-Findlay have put their ears to the walls of Vancouver Island's historic homes and transcribed the whispered secrets of bygone days when folk of every description left their echoes in the buildings where they lived, worked, played, and died. If the walls of a venerable mansion could speak, what stories would it tell? How about that rustic shack farther down the road? In her first book, If These Walls Could Talk,Valerie Green explored 50 heritage homes in the Greater Victoria area. In this second volume, she ranges further afield, covering Greater Victoria and Southern Vancouver Island, Duncan and the Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Courtney and District, and Campbell River and the North Island, including homes in Telegraph Cove and Port McNeill. Each home tells of a way of life long past, of people who dwelt within its walls, when and how it was built, or how it is historically significant. Once again, Valerie's text is complemented by architectural artist Lynn Gordon-Findlay's exquisite drawings.

Mark Them Which Walk
Mark Them Which Walk The sequel to The Apothecary’s Ointment. In the previous story, disappointment in a trusted friend and mentor had given Melvin Heath a temporary setback and left him disillusioned and uncertain, but hopeful. At this low point in Heath’s spiritual life following the downfall of his mentor, when he found himself bewildered and adrift, an older friend had encouraged him with these words: Cursed be the man that trusteth in man . . . but Blessed is theman that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. In the years that followed, Melvin remembered these lines from the prophet, Jeremiah. Through his experiences, they proved their worthiness as a guiding principle in his life. As Melvin regains his spiritual equilibrium, the adverse winds of tribulation assail him anew. With his Lord and Savior as an unfailing beacon, Heath steers a steady course through the troubled waters of religious politics.
