This book is an easy to read devotional Bible commentary based on a series of sermons preached at Lausanne Free Church, Switzerland. It will useful to the general reader and message preparers. Unlike most modern commentaries, Judged and Delivered does not see the period of Judges as just a time of spiritual darkness. Judges is about sin and salvation, not just about sin! No less than five judges are mentioned as men of faith in Hebrews 11. In 30 short chapters, the author shows how relevant the book of Judges is for the church today. We see the importance of the church staying faithful to God, faithful in worship and faithful in doctrine. We see afresh the importance of appointing godly leaders. But more importantly, all 12 judges all point to the greatest Judge of all: The Lord Jesus Christ.

In the Blood traces the relationship of two brothers through childhood to adulthood and in and out of institutions to reveal the intricate, often hidden bonds that are broken and forged by the effects of mental illness. In his debut full-length collection, former City of New Westminster Poet Laureate Alan Hill delivers a deeply revealing and heartfelt depiction of a lifetime of mental illness--both his own and that of his brother. In the Blood traces the brothers' relationship from childhood to adulthood, and how his brother's diagnosis became inextricably intertwined with Hill's own mental health struggles. As his brother spends much of his life in and out of institutions, Hill grapples with his own guilt, shame, and loss. Moving from the past to the present and back again, In the Blood is a search for meaning and comfort in the confusion of childhood and the untethered searching of adulthood. With stark vulnerability, Hill reveals the intricate and often hidden bonds that are both broken and established by mental illness and pushes toward a form of relief, release, and recovery.
