A traveler's guide to the fascinating facts, intriguing incidents and lively legends in Saskatchewan's past. Cowboys and fur traders, proud Indians and rebel Métis, socialist saints, spiritual Czars, frauds, booze kings, dilettante party boys, resolute homesteaders-they all crowd the stage of Saskatchewan History Along the Highway. Using the province's major highways as pathways into history, Bob Weber points to the when and where of Saskatchewan's vivid past, and in the process pens the first new travel history book on the province in more than twenty years.

The Longest Road examines how a single highway linking the entire country has changed the nation that built it, the travelers who follow it, and the people who live alongside it. Everybody loves a road story, and the Trans-Canada Highway is the world's biggest stage for one. The Longest Road hops in the driver's seat, winds up the engine and heads out to tell it.

The Longest Road: Along the Trans-Canada Highway

Canada

His name is William Dickenson Hunter, but to generations of Canadian sports fans he’s known best as Wild Bill. Part showman, salesman, rebel, visionary, and 100 percent lover of the game of hockey, Bill Hunter has been witness to and part of the lore and the history of Canadian sports for over six decades. Bill Hunter formed his first team at age 17, when he toured a baseball club through dust-bowl Saskatchewan. Since then he’s owned or managed many franchises—from ladies softball to junior hockey to pro hockey to big-money curling. Pro hockey changed forever when he threw his weight behind the short-lived, colorful World Hockey Association, which broke the National Hockey League’s stranglehold on the game and brought hockey into the modern era. He brought Edmonton the Oilers, and he fought valiantly to bring Saskatoon the Blues. And along the way, his on- and off-ice antics made great sports-page copy for decades. They called him Wild Bill for a reason. At age 82 and among the last of the great hockey showmen, his business card reads: "Bill Hunter, Sports Entrepreneur, Not Retired." And he means it.

Oh, Brother! Brat Attack!

“Oh, Brother captures the innocence and fun of being a kid. The delightful drawings and snappy warm-hearted humor make this one of my very favorite comics!" -- Sherm Cohen, artist/writer: SpongeBob SquarePants Oh, Brother! stars the sibling duo of Bud and Lily, who humorously interact within the leafy confines of their middle-class suburban home and neighborhood. Whether they are playing together in the family room or running amok in the schoolyard, Bud and Lily elevate the act of one-upmanship to Code Red levels. Lily is the quintessential slightly older and far more sensible sister. She takes it upon herself to look after her uninhibited, prank-loving younger brother, Bud. While Lily wins the occasional battle with her cool-headed maturity, Bud is intent on winning the war with his brazen brand of mischief. Despite their obvious differences, Bud and Lily love each other deeply and have a strong sibling bond.

In short, Coming Attractions reveals the Kingdom of God in its foundational stage. The lives and experiences narrated by the author demonstrate how God interacted with the people He chose to represent His ways. As the narrative of 1 Samuel proceeds through the episodes about Hannah, Saul, David, and others, God wants us to learn something new or affirm something old. In fact what the reader learns are the same principles that a contemporary person of faith needs to learn when encountering the God of Samuel and David. The contemporary relevance of these ancient stories is what makes the entire narrative so intriguing. The trials and victories that the individuals faced revealed much about the God they served, opened up new ways of life, moved Israel closer to her destiny, and provided the foundation for kingdom living fully revealed in Christ. In 1 Samuel as each character experienced more of God’s ways, every encounter revealed new aspects of salvation history, and as the episodes unfolded, God was previewing the Kingdom established by Jesus Christ.
