Odin’s Crows is a cautionary tale of the pain caused by blindly pursuing material wealth and learning the value of true love, the hardest way possible. This is the story of the lifelong bond between Sandy Macleod, who was orphaned young, and his grandmother, Rose, a wily and spiritual woman who does her best to manage the wild impulses of her grandson. With her encouragement, Sandy opts for Queen's law as his route to the riches he covets. While at school he befriends Darren Brown, a cerebral college all-star goalie, while at the same time his closest friends from back in Thunder Bay, the uncontrollable Murdo MacRae and his kid brother, the destined-to-be famous Little Ray from Thunder Bay, begin their careers in professional hockey. Sandy parlays the friendships into hockey championships and money for all concerned. The friends' paths merge in Calgary's booming 1970's, where fortunes are made by means fair and foul. Sandy falls in with an unscrupulous oil-rich bible thumper while his grandmother and a wealthy-widow Holocaust survivor who becomes his mentor, conspire to intervene. Sandy's fortunes soar too close to the sun and his wildest dreams succeed at at price that threatens to destroy everything he knows to be important, including the love a beautiful young woman who can see into his heart. The story takes place during Canada's tumultuous Seventies, recalling campus unrest, the unsung heroines of the nascent abortion rights movement, the early days of gay rights, the emergence of televangelism, women surging into the legal profession, the explosive growth of professional hockey, and Alberta's marvellous boom years. - "The best book you've ever read!"

Christian Focus

Your Body, Actually for HC There is only so much content at hand and life has become very straightforward. One option unfolds another: touch me and die. Reassuring as a sinkhole, totally. Seasons come on as a sausage restaurant, hopeful, with all its blinding trinkets and inherited imagery. No other replies needed. We are living in a post-sacred age, so it's official, nothing is sacred. It's official: leather pyjamas. Go away, thoroughly, where winds have worn deserts to a whistle, rocks shaped to a gesture. How many rugs were pulled from under us? And will we know a burning platform among all this interference, this life of soft graft.
