<p>In a culture that seemed to have given up on Native youth, a petite Winnipeg nun founded a drop-in centre that soon became a beacon of hope for Native youth in the city's poorest neighbourhood. Twenty-five years later, Rossbrook House remains a thriving school, training centre and a place for young people to socialize safely. Guided by Sister Mac's conviction that "no child who does not want to be alone should ever have to be," Rossbrook House remains a Winnipeg success story that other communities can learn from. Sister Geraldine MacNamara (1938-1984) was a woman of strong opinions and strong convictions who found her vocation in fighting for the poor. She became a well-known local and national advocate for the rights of the disenfranchised, especially the young urban poor. This book is a "social-spiritual" biography that explores how MacNamara - a privileged, well-educated religious sister - was changed by the experience of living with and serving the poor, especially Native young people. Her personal journals, her speeches and writings, and interviews with people who knew her reveal both the internal and external person - a woman of idealism and commitment, yet focused on practical results.</p>

Find the meaning of your life - and live it! What is your personal mission in life? Many of us find it hard to answer this question. It is so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day concerns of paying the rent and putting food on the table that we lose sight of the bigger picture. Whether we are young or not so young, we may feel that we haven't quite found our mission - that we're not doing what we feel we should be doing. How to Discover Your Personal Mission invites readers on an adventure: to discover your personal mission. In this user-friendly book, best-selling author John Monbourquette will lead each reader through a three-stage process: learning to let go of the past; deepening your sense of identity and mission; and risking a new beginning in life. Through exercises and reflection, each reader can find the path that leads in the direction each person's soul is calling him or her. That path may be toward an ideal to pursue, a personal passion, a goal to strive for, or a deep, persistent desire. John Monbourquette's great skill as author and counsellor is to enable his readers to work through complex, tangled human situations in order to empower themselves to become more fully the type of person each was always intended to be. Let the journey begin . . .

<p>One of the world's leading practitioners of Christian Meditation, Paul T. Harris has gathered together the questions he has heard most frequently asked by interested newcomers to this flourishing, rediscovered method of specifically Christian meditation. Based on his vast experience of leading workshops in Canada, Europe and the U. S., Harris has written clear, helpful answers to each of these important questions. In doing so, he has produced a comprehensive, practical handbook for beginners (and teachers of beginners) on the history, theology and practice of Christian meditation. Among the questions addressed here: Why should I meditate? Is it difficult to master this discipline? What is the role of the mantra in Christian meditation? What are the benefits to the body and our health? What is the best way to sit while meditating? Can emptying the mind be dangerous? I'm very busy; how can I set aside time every day to meditate? Can one meditate anywhere? Why is silence important in our life? Where will the "contemplative journey" lead me? Harris has tapped into a remarkable variety of inspiring sources to help answer these questions, from the earliest Christian communities to Etty Hillesum, Thomas Merton and John Main. Reading through these thoughtful Q &amp; A's will provide readers with a comprehensive overview of Christian meditation.</p>
