Way of the Worlds - Once upon a time in 1987

“Ministering with Ian Moilliet since 1994 I have observed him shepherding his natural and spiritual sheep. Therefore, I believe that this writing contains more than words about shepherding.As you read this book, you will hear the spirit and heart of a true shepherd expressed with passion. Your spirit will be empowered.”
—Arlo A. Johnson, Founding pastor of Westsyde Family Fellowship, Prince George, British Columbia 

“Whether you see yourself as a sheep or a shepherd in God’s flock—be prepared for a paradigm shift.”
—Pastor O.J. Zerbin, Lead Pastor Calvary Community Church, Edmonton, Alberta 

“With over thirty-five years as both a pastor and a sheep rancher, Ian Moilliet parallels his personal experience in both roles to bring fresh insights in the development of a pastor’s heart.”
—Pastor Mark Hughes, Church of the Rock, Winnipeg, Manitoba 

“New in the ministry, or for long time shepherds of God’s flock, Ian Moilliet’s book is a most useful tool. Written with passion and insight, it is a “must-read.”
—The Rev. Earl C. Gerber, retired Anglican Minister, Ontario 

Over the years of shepherding his flock and pastoring his church, Ian began to see the similarities between the two kinds of sheep. This book is the result. 
Ian has lived his entire life on Aveley Ranch. He is the third generation to carry on in the family sheep business on the 105-year-old ranch. His grandfather, Theodore Albert Moilliet, homesteaded in 1906 and started with sheep in 1913. His father, John, carried on what his father began. Ian began pastoring Vavenby Christian Church in 1976 and continues to this day. 
Ian married Karen Scruggs in May 1974. Together they have raised seven children. They continue to live on Aveley Ranch near the village of Vavenby, British Columbia, Canada. 

John Tucker loses his father, his place at Cambridge, his family home and his comfortable privileged life. He discovers Alison Stacey is the cause. Is he upset? You bet he is!

Alison is descended from an old upper class family and has a strong sense of social superiority. She believes in putting people like John Tucker in their place but she does not know how to cope with the economic disaster which threatens to overwhelm her.

Sarah Grant is bored by her role as wife to a local professional businessman. She is determined to use her recent legacy to bring some interest into her life, even though this will mean a certain amount of manipulation of others.

These characters work out their ambitions and their problems against the backdrop of 1950’s South Devon, where the population is just emerging from the period of post-war deprivation into the realisation of the benefits of owning the houses that they live in. But underlying their struggles is a mystery which goes back to before the Great War when a happy young couple set out to find a new life in America on board the Titanic.

Volume 1 of The Hounds of Annwn.

George Talbot Traherne is just doing his job on a fine autumn morning, keeping the hounds together for the huntsman of the Rowanton Hunt in Virginia along the Blue Ridge Mountain. Doesn’t pay to get distracted by a white stag in unfamiliar territory, though. Next thing you know, you might find yourself… somewhere else.

The land is the same but not the people. Their huntsman has just been murdered, and George is tapped for the job. It’s an emergency -- the Wild Hunt is only two weeks away, and if it doesn’t happen on schedule, the antlered god Cernunnos will take the realm from its ruler Gwyn ap Nudd and find someone who can mete out justice with the Hounds of Hell in his place.

George throws himself into the task, finding strength in the mission and resources he never knew he had. The more he comes to feel at home, settling into his new responsibilities, the more he wants to stay and make a life for himself. He’s finally met someone worth spending his life with, even if she’s just a bit older, a mere fifteen hundred years or so.

Can he keep the Wild Hunt on track despite the attempts to thwart it? Will he be accepted by those he wants to defend who view his timely presence and his human blood with suspicion? Above all, what does Cernunnos want of him and how far will he go? Can he survive the attention of a god?

Readers who are familiar with the sources of Arthurian literature such as the Mabinogion will recognize many of the characters, flourishing still in the world we cannot quite reach.

Editorial Reviews

"Comparisons with other great sci-fi and fantasy writers are inevitable, and I would not hesitate to put this into the same short-list as David Eddings or Robert Jordan." -- Baily's Hunting Directory

"A blend of hunting and fantasy fiction, and the first entry in The Hounds of Annwn series, To Carry the Horn takes the reader into a world of magic and ancient rivalries where hunting with hounds plays a significant role in life and law. Well-written and finely detailed, this book provides an excellent opportunity for some enjoyable hours of escapism, particularly when read on a chilly winter evening before a cozy fire." -- In and Around Horse Country

"Myers has constructed a smooth, strong novel, her content well built, characters believable and richly developed. "To Carry The Horn" is well-written and displays a thorough knowledge of foxhunting.''  - Fauquier Times-Democrat

"Myers takes readers on a fascinating ride into a parallel world where she weaves figures from Welsh mythology into a well-written tale that involves stag hunting, a huntsman’s murder, and a large case of greed and envy." - FoxhuntingLife

"To Carry The Horn is an intriguing piece of fantasy that paints, through Myers’ artistic eye, a vivid picture of a parallel otherworld where hounds and hunting are an integral part of daily life. A riveting read for anyone with ties to the chase, To Carry The Horn sets the scene for the next stand-alone entry in the extended series, The Ways of Winter. To tell the truth, we can’t wait." - Middleburg Life

This is not a “How To” book. It is a “Why To” book.

Gerry tells us about his 15 year journey of discovery by relating to some experiences in his life prior to recovery from alcoholic addiction and bi-polar affliction. The author applies a common saying or thought to every letter from “A” to “Z” and expands on the theme. In the “Awareness” segment, Gerry explains how this is the basis of all aspects of living. In “What’s In It For Me,” we learn of the benefits of enjoying the good life. He reflects on his “previous life” to show the difference between then and now. We do not have to be recovering from any addiction to relate to this book. Actually, if truth be known, we are all recovering from something. Some of us have had or have addictions to alcohol, drugs or we are simply stuck in a tired, boring life.
 

Let this book show you what wondrous revelation awaits if you want it.

Remember the girl in school who carried around a notebook everywhere? You know the one: She was always scribbling down something, anything, whenever inspiration hit her. Did you ever wonder what she was writing all the time?

I think I can give you a pretty good idea...because, well, I was that girl.

One score and several years ago, a morose teenage girl took an interest in writing poetry...and systematically butchered it with every word she penned. Years later, a slightly less morose thirtysomething woman found a folder full of high rhymes and misdemeanors—and she couldn’t help but admire the train wreck she excreted on the page.

And this poetry collection is the result of those teenage musings, mired with suicidal ideation, murderous preoccupation, random British spellings, and overwrought teenage emotion.

But what else would you expect? These poems do come from the bowels of teenage angst after all.

Author’s Note:
Poetry from the Bowels of Teenage Angst is a 4,100 word collection of shitty poems. Please keep that in mind when considering this chap full of crap.

Also included in this e-book is the short story “The Drain Cleaner” by Mack Mulluncey.

This basic question of philosophy lies in the fundamental facts of our lives. Yes, there are material phenomena – physical or chemical phenomena, but there are also spiritual and mental phenomena such as consciousness and thought. This distinction between being and thinking enters into any act of human consciousness and behavior. Every individual distinguishes them self from that which surrounds them.

One is aware of oneself as something different from everything else. Thus one sees that no matter what phenomenon is considered, whether a person consciously realizes it or not, can always be placed in the sphere of either the material (Objective) or the spiritual (subjective). And yet, despite the differences between the objective and the subjective there is a definite connection between them. It is found that, on closer inspection, this relationship turns out to be a bond of interdependence. This interdependence is laid bare in the Elbibnarokdoc Philosophy Dissertation. Being unarmed in Philosophy can cost you a fruitful life.

Hundreds of millions of Christians around the world are lacking the basic knowledge of the Bible's teachings. Moreover, they are therefore, unable to take advantage of the full happiness of partaking in joint worship with God. They need to have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil, they need to leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and move on to maturity. This magazine has been penned for that very purpose, to help all Christians to increase and expand their understanding of God's Word and to apply it more fully in their lives. Be aware that Christian Way of Life (CWL) will ask those tough questions that are designed, to help us investigate our inner-self.

In the Bible you can interact with a living God who wants a personal relationship with you. And in CWL you will learn how to engage His words like never before.

CWL creates the opportunity to grow in faith and knowledge through short, practical articles that will help you grow in the faith, overcome the difficulties that Satan's world will throw at you, and maintain your relationship with the one and only true God. You will learn to observe, interpret, and apply the Scripture to transform your life.
