Synopsis
What harassed and harried city-dweller has not dreamed of escaping to a quiet place in the country? Sixteen years ago, Lawrence Scanlan--then books editor at The Whig Standard--had that same dream and he acted on it. With his wife, he moved from the city of Kingston to a 19th Century frame house on the Napanee River in the village of Camden East, Ontario (pop. 250).
Heading Home plots their transition from city to country, with its challenges and comic twists. The book's twelve chapters, each devoted to one month, chronicle a year in the life of the village. Scanlan points to a wide range of data and interviews dozens of people who have opted out of city life--all to show that a major demographic shift is underway.
As lyrical as it is practical, Heading Home shows the way to a new life beyond the freeways and high-rises. Heading Home is the perfect book for all who have lived in the city but who yearn to start over--in a country place.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and extreme weather events are setting the stage for the coming tribulation. Miraculously and with wit, Isaac and his friends elude capture from the forces of the Beast, False Prophet and their world dominating empire. Society is divinely dissolving around them.Using the forces of the Anti-Christ as a tool to prepare the world for the triumphant return of his son, God delivers those who love him, through the final trumpet blasts and woes of Revelation, to a place of safety. The globe encompassing action culminates with the Beast and False Prophet preparing the world's armies to battle a returning Jesus and his resurrected saints, descending onto the Mount of Olives.In the prequel to Heading Home, The Eden Conspiracy, Isaac's peripheral religious doctrines and childhood beliefs are proven scripturally incorrect by a grubby old trucker. The sting of that lesson is lasting, spurring him to delve exhaustively into the Bible and place all his beliefs on the sure footings of the holy texts. Seller Inventory # 00103586652
