An enchanting and evocative look at the unique relationship between a solitary, island-dwelling wolf and a renowned wildlife photographer. A lone wild wolf lives on a small group of uninhabited islands in British Columbia's Salish Sea, surrounded by freighter, oil tanker and other boat traffic and in close proximity to a large urban area. His name is Takaya, which is the Coast Salish First Nations people's word for wolf. This wolf is culturally significant for the Songhees, and some believe he embodies the spirit of Chief Robert Sam, who died close to the same time that the wolf appeared in the islands. Over half of the largest island is a marine park and is used primarily by kayakers and other small pleasure boaters. The existence of this beautiful being in such an odd place leads to many questions: How did Cheryl Alexander come to know Takaya, and what is her relationship with the wolf? Why has Takaya chosen a solitary life on these islands, so close to human habitation? What current issues or threats face Takaya, and how can they be mediated through compassionate coexistence and conservation? Why is Takaya's story important, and what is the relevance of his story to wolf conservation in British Columbia and the Salish Sea ecosystem? Through journal entries, interviews, and a stunning collection of photography, Takaya: Lone Wolf answers these profound questions and tells a story that is certain to inspire, enlighten, and touch the heart. It is the story of a wild animal, alone yet at peace.

One woman's story about her struggle to stop drinking and how Christ has changed her with dated writings, praise, and prayer. God said, "You will have to quit drinking soon." I said, "As in Christ is coming soon?" The answer is yes. If there is nothing better than being in the presence of God, then why are we still using drugs and alcohol? Once I started writing in my book, Jesus came. The Holy Spirit said, "If you are really serious, God will help you." I said, "Yes." Part of coming clean is coming clean. Two days later, God took the urge away. I didn't want anything! By faith and walking with Christ, I truly believe I've been changed already. Replacing one thing for another is still the same scenario. We have to know what our triggers are and avoid them like the plague! Although I'm still a work in progress, I know and trust in Christ's perfect timing, and I know I am going to be okay. The book is called 365 Days. I have dedicated myself to one year to get it right this time. I told my family, and I am sharing with you my near-death experience when I took my belief in my addiction to the limit because it's time to get serious! Are you ready to start your journey to be a better you? Are addictions ruining your life? Are addictions running your life? Tired of losing it all? What if I told you this--this method worked for me, and I believe it will work for you too. What do you have to lose? The time is now. Why wait? Try it! Read this book today! This book takes 60-90 minutes to read. Please read it in it's entirety to get maximum results.
