Restoring Health: body, mind and spirit


Leave a comment

House of James an amazing bookstore

We had a great time at House of James in Abbotsford with our Blue Sky booksigning. Blue Sky makes a great present for others, as it focuses on family reconciliation and forgiveness.

“I’m afraid there’s been an accident…”
Sandy Brown and her family have just moved to Spokane, Washington where her husband, Scott, is pastoring a new church. With a fresh start, Sandy is determined to devote more time to her four children. But, within weeks of settling in their new life, the Brown family is plunged into turmoil.
Sandy receives shocking news that her children aren’t safe, which brings back haunting memories of the trauma she experienced as a girl. Then, the unthinkable happens…
A brutal attack puts Sandy on the brink of losing everything she’s loved. Her faith in God and the family she cherishes are pushed to the ultimate limit.
Is healing possible when so many loved ones are hurt? Are miracles really possible through the power of prayer? Can life return to the way it was before?
Blue Sky reveals how a mother’s most basic instinct isn’t for survival… but for family.
If you’re a fan of Karen Kingsbury, then you’ll love Blue Sky. Get your copy today.

More photos from the 2nd Cup of Hot Apple Cider booksigning

(photos, courtesy of Bill Bonikowsky)

It really was an enjoyable evening at House of James in Abbotsford on Friday night. If you haven’t been there lately, you will want to check it out.

House of James now even offers Gelato Italian Ice Cream, good food and good fellowship.

The HAC2 authors with the Owner: Ed Hird, Lando Klassen, Bill Bonikowsky, and Paul Beckingham

Booksigning in a coffeehouse environment with a warm cup of Hot Apple Cider…

Have you ordered your copy yet of a 2nd Cup of Hot Apple Cider?

The music by the Bonikowsky sons really set the tone for the evening.

Lando Klassen has been faithful in season and out of season.

It was Lando Klassen’s generosity in putting up the money up front that got my book Battle for the Soul of Canada off the ground.  I was able to pay him back in just a few short months because the book sales went so well.

An irenic look by Dr Paul Beckingham and Ed Hird, co-authors for the book 2nd Cup of Hot Apple Cider.

Lando really believes in the power of books, and has given HAC2 a strong endorsement. I would recommend that you contact House of James online to purchase ‘A 2nd Cup of Hot Apple Cider’ by clicking on ’2nd Cup’.  Lando and House of James deserve our customer support.

Alternately you can dial into Amazon  either in the USA or Canada and order a copy.

Why not order your copy right now before you forget about it? Just click here.  A Second Cup of Hot Apple Cider is a remarkably well-produced books with many stories that will inspire you and often leave you in grateful tears.
