Delores Churchill, Haida weaver, shares the stories of her life, her culture and the importance of passing cultural knowledge from one generation to the next. Told with humility, humour and deep respect, From a Square to a Circle is a testament to the values of her people, a technical guide to her masterful weaving skills and a gift to the reader at every point along her journey.

Part memoir, part how-to guide, this book shines light on Delores’s weaving teachers, including her strong-minded mother Selina (Ilst’ayaa), whose teachings Delores once resisted as a child. The Haida are connected to weaving through their history, which goes back thousands of years ago as shown through discoveries like the 4,000-year-old baskets at south Baranof.

Walk with Delores as she harvests cedar bark for baskets, Selina teaching “by modelling and then leaving the learner to imitate.” Learn the weaving harvest and preparation terminology. Follow the steps of how to prepare cedar bark, harvest spruce roots, and learn natural dye recipes. Photos and diagrams are visual aids that accompany the steps to Haida weaving techniques and instructions.

Having passed her skills on to hundreds of people, believing that “weaving belongs to all of us,” Delores wishes to share the knowledge of basketweaving where beginners and skilled weavers are able to express their distinct selves, just as every coastal Indigenous weaving style is unique. The love for basketweaving displayed in Delores’s writing is sure to make readers yearn to try their own hand at the craft.

Simple, Solid, and Looks Great
Color: Antique Bronze
This is one of those simple things that just works exactly how you want it to. First off, it looks really nice on the counter. The antique bronze finish has a slightly warm tone that doesn’t look cheap or overly shiny, and the design is clean enough to fit in with pretty much any kitchen style. Assembly took maybe 30 seconds. You just screw the pieces together and it’s ready to go, no tools or fuss. Swapping out rolls is just as easy, and the top cap keeps everything in place without being annoying to deal with. The weight is really what makes this stand out. The base is heavy enough that it stays put when you tear off a sheet, so you can actually use it one-handed without it tipping or sliding around. It feels solid and well made, not flimsy at all. Size-wise, it fits a standard roll easily and still has room for larger rolls, so you’re not fighting to get a new one on. Overall, it’s sturdy, looks good, and is genuinely easy to use day to day. It’s one of those upgrades that seems small but makes your kitchen feel a little more put together.

One of the best biblical motivational books I’ve read
Format: Kindle
I’ve always enjoyed Dr David Jeremiah’s expository preaching. He has been a faithful steward of God’s word. When I came across this book, I was amazed that he wrote a book to give people a positive attitude in moving forward with the vision and dream the Lord has given us. It’s been an enlightening and delightful read.

Awesome!
Format: Kindle
I love this book. I just completed it and now I'm ready it again with my wife. I love that it is very clear that no matter how old you are, God has a plan for you until He brings you home. I would recommend this book to everyone but especially those ages 50 and above. It was a blessing not only for how I will live the rest of my life here on earth but also helping me to understand better and appreciate more my eternal future. I have already and will continue to recommend this book to many I come in contact with and my clients.

Aging does not necessarily lead to retirement from serving God. Every Day is a new opportunity.
Format: Kindle
In our present world, the Church is experiencing a mega-change approach in how it members view the Bible, morality, service to God and man, prayer, and salvation itself. We all struggle with what lies in the future for us, how do we worship, what do we do with our spiritual gifts, and should we modify our relationship with God to fit comfortably with modern times and processes? It is becoming more acceptable within the Church to practice a reduced moral ethic or code, condone deviancy, accept what was unacceptable once and seek satisfaction, stimulation, and the satiation for spiritual thirst and hunger with theatrical, entertainment, grandiose, and electronic boosting of the Word of God. So much feel good, promises of wealth and health to those who follow the promises of so many televangelists, get rich quick preachers, and give that you might get schemes offer that which simply is not offered in Scripture. Doctor Jeremiah offers sound, Bible-based direction for growing spiritually in this troubled, deceiving world. God is not finished, we are not finished, the Gospel is more than sufficient for the times we live in. If we are bored, if we slumber, if we have become dull, acceptant of sin, and are no longer interested in being light to a dark world, read this book. Perhaps it is time to confess our sins and be filled once again with the Holy Spirit. Read Doctor Jeremiah's words and let them speak to your hungry soul.
