When Jesus told Nicodemus that he must be 'born of the Spirit' He affirmed human sexuality as an appropriate metaphor for understanding the faith. Being 'born again' is one of the foundational concepts of Christianity, yet how many of us have ever heard a 'birds and bees' talk, expanding on how spiritual reproduction works?Traditionally, the church seems to avoid deep and open dialogue about sexuality, as a result Christians can find themselves poorly defended against pervasive secular trends, and ill-equipped to give compelling reasons for maintaining sexual standards. Discovering The Gospel In Our Sexuality reveals the faith affirming and purposeful nature of our sexuality. The cycle-of-life is not a series of random physical processes that must be negotiated as best we can; instead, human sexuality is a divinely crafted allegory that proclaims a profound message, beautifully articulating God's restorative plan for humanity.

During the 1st World War, thousands of captured Allied combatants were dispatched to neutral countries to await the end of the conflict. Their stories are seldom told. English-born Canadian soldier Kenneth Foyster was one of them. He fought at Ypres in 1915, was wounded, captured, imprisoned then found himself interned in the mountains of Switzerland. After the war, he penned an extensive memoir describing in vivid detail all these successive experiences.British author Mike Richardson has taken this account and put it into the context of contemporary world events. The result is a fascinating insight into one man's military adventures; from the woods of British Columbia, to the intensity of the battlefield, and on to the snowy highlands of the Alps.
