Burdens Lifted
Walker, Janet
¥39.14
This is the story of an ordinary person who had a journey within her relationship with Jesus. It was a journey full of pain, joy, fear and peace, during which she was by turns labelled, understood, teased, loved, crushed, hugged and encouraged. Time moved on, and with the reassurance of Jesus and friends she got to a point where she no longer believed she was what she had been called - much conversation and listening had gone on between her and Jesus. "e;This is not a study/theological/theatrical book. It's a book about the thirty-three years Father God and Jesus have spent together with me, along with the important part the Holy Spirit has played in that time."e; Janet Walker.

Butterflies
Butterflies
Cairns, D. D.
¥29.33
Like the metamorphosis of the butterfly, the spirit too has to grow by obtaining knowledge. Some say we change our personal characteristics by the path that we have chosen in life. The personality of a young man has been determined through social interaction, while he has been unwittingly embarking upon a journey seeking for something he already has. This life journey takes him to see many cultures in order for him to understand and experience the real extremities of life. He forms relationships, and through these relationships he discovers the diversity of human thought, and so, with this, personality change. This short story, Butterflies, therefore seeks to question the boundaries of social thought alongside our own individual determination. True we all have our own individual personalities, and look and search for things that are arguably beneficial toward our own ends, but are there other forces at work? This short story enables the reader to follow this journey, and see him question his own individual ethic regarding the knowledge he is now acquiring, through the help of quotations from acclaimed writers.

Entering GPS addresses after arriving at the station will generate turn-by-turn directions from one Sherlock Holmes site to another. Six walking tour maps are also included. These are not the usual rambling tours, but walks in Holmes and Watsons footsteps. Finally, for those with a statistical bent, the book lists 454 characters named in the book, and statistically analyzes their titles and occupations.
