Encampment - Resistance Grace...

Maggie Helwig

ONE OF THE GLOBE AND MAIL'S BEST BOOKS OF 2025 
WINNER OF THE 2025 TORONTO BOOK AWARD 
"Striking, elegant." – Publishers Weekly, ★ STARRED Review 
An activist priest provides sanctuary for an encampment of unhoused people in her churchyard 
The housing crisis plaguing major urban centres has sent countless people into the streets. In spring 2022, some of them found their way to the yard beside the Anglican church in Toronto’s Kensington Market, where Maggie Helwig is the priest. They pitched tents, formed an encampment, and settled in. Known as an outspoken social justice activist, Helwig has spent the last three years getting to know the residents and fighting tooth and nail to allow them to stay, battling various authorities that want to clear the yard and keep the results of the housing crisis out of sight and out of mind.  
Encampment tells the story of Helwig’s life-long activism as preparation for her fight to keep her churchyard open to people needing a home. More importantly, it introduces us to the Artist, to Jeff, and to Robin: their lives, their challenges, their humanity. It confronts our society’s callousness in allowing so many to go unhoused and demands, by bringing their stories to the fore, that we begin to respond with compassion and grace.

Stop Worrying - Live in the...

Troy Black

I have a question for you, and I hope you’ll be honest with yourself about the answer: Are there areas of your life you would enjoy more if you worried less? If so, I want you to make the same decision I made years ago. Decide to do something about it. Many of us have heard the tips that are meant to help us stop worrying, but we’re still living a life plagued with worry. Some of us have believed the lie of worry to such an extent that we actually think it’s a good thing. We think that, if we don’t worry about our kids, we’re not loving them. If we don’t worry enough about money, we’re not being good providers. Or if we aren’t worried about our job or the future, we feel lazy or apathetic. The truth is God did not create you to be a worrier. There is a place of balance He intends for you to live where you still care about life without constantly worrying about it. When I look back at where I was 5 years ago, I see a completely different person. God has taken a nervous wreck like me and given me a heart of peace. This book isn’t just me talking the talk. In it, I share principles from God’s word that help us win against worry, but I also share my personal journey of practically walking those principles out. You don’t have to live in a constant state of anxiety. You can walk down a different path. So, what are you waiting for? Come with me as we journey down a better path. Stop worrying, and start living in the peace and favor of God every day.

Awake O Sleeper!

Dag Heward-Mills

Sleep is necessary for your body to rest, for relaxation and to have a break. Sleep is also important to improve your productivity and your performance. However, there are times when it is inappropriate to sleep, and there are also times when it is inappropriate to sleep for too long. When you are asleep your eyes are closed.  
You no longer have your sight and your vision. To be asleep, therefore, is to lose your sight and your vision. To be asleep is to lose awareness and knowledge of your surroundings. To be asleep is to be unaware of danger. That is why God says that you must awake from your sleep and your slumber!
