Discover the History of Native people
October’s Dying—though a novel—graphically reflects the horrific history of Canada’s relationship with the Indigenous Peoples of the country. It reveals Canada’s best kept “dirty little secret” widely recognized as genocide.
Long before Canada became a nation (1867) the European influence was at work north of the 49th. Parallel. The Jesuit Order of the Roman Catholic priesthood was present in New France—later to become the Province of Quebec. This was as early as the mid-sixteenth century, and from the beginning the European passion was to assimilate the Native Peoples of the land into the various forms of European culture—and most especially religious culture.

A Tale of Two Fields:
What Readers Say about the Book
“Although this is a “religious” book, it is not about religion. It’s about being freed from religion and all of its restraints upon a true communion with a holy God. The author skillfully uses the analogy of two fields–hence the title–to compare the vastly different life of religious conformity with a life of unbridled faith. The Foreword sets the tone that conformity to a ritual is not a life of faith, but the freeing influence of shedding the conformity is freedom for the spirit. This book is a thinking man’s commentary on the modern church and church experience. A must read–and re-read.
A Tale of Two Fields is a treasure yet to be discovered.”

Wrappers and Revelation:
What Readers Say about the Book
“Author’s revealing insight into how we view the world and the people around us. The exterior “wrappings” set up the impression without ever looking at the gift. Our paradigm shifts when the gifts around us are revealed. Excellent read.“
