Called to Be a Soldier
This book tells the experiences of conscientious objectors in Canada during World War II. It details their lives in the camps where they performed alternative service instead of joining the army. Most of the boys were from Ontario, and they first served at the Montreal River Camp, clearing land for the Trans-Canada Highway. Later some were transferred to forestry camps in British Columbia to fight forest fires and plant trees. Copies of letters to and from government officials are included, as well as some letters from church leaders. Although the practices of the different faiths vary from what we practice, this book gives a good picture of what CO camp life was like. 519 pages; paperback; Vineyard Publications.
In My Father’s House
This is the story of the early life of Corrie Ten Boom, before World War II and her work with sheltering Jews. Corrie was a timid girl when young. She grew up in a busy household with several siblings, a number of aunts, and her devoted father and mother. As she got older she reached out to others, helping form girls’ camps for activities and learning about the Lord. Later still, her family took in children who needed a home. Fast paced and alternately humorous and sobering, it makes for interesting reading. 197 pages; paperback; Lighthouse Trails Publishing.
Later On
The songs in this book were written over the past 60 years. Some have been previously published in Precious Promises and Fireside Songs while others are published here for the first time. Several songs are accompanied with the “story” behind their inspiration. (Additional background to some of these is in the book “Wide Open Road” by John R Toews.) Paperback.

In the context of God’s plan for families, this book looks at how cultural changes affect us, and the realities of tears and tantrums, discouragement, and exhaustion. A good read for all Christian mothers. 138 pages; paperback.
Plain Folks in CPS Camps
Until WWII, nonresistant Christians were not exempt from the draft and boot camp. In 1941, churches negotiated with the government to set up CPS camps. Peace-loving boys traveled far from home to work, serving several years without wages. Digging postholes, fighting forest fires, and working in mental hospitals, they served their fellow man instead of going to war. 184 pages; paperback; Fisher.

Silver
He was a beautiful sight, the pure white colt with long, silver mane and tail streaming in the wind. He could run faster than all the other colts in the wild herd. Charlie Barr was determined to have the wild colt for his very own. “I must hurry and get my brand on him before some other feller does!” Charlie said. That would not be so easy, and after being captured once, Silver got his freedom again. He lived an adventurous life before Charlie finally got him back. 245 pages; paperback; Lone Oak Books.
