Product Description
Fifteen-year- old Ted Asquinn gets to work with the most celebrated police force in Ontario, perhaps even Canada, The Ontario Provincial Police. He volunteers to help rid Forest Lake of witch craft, high priests, and all bad guys.
He is braver than his identical twin brother, Korah, best friend Harley Olson, and cousin Trever Olverton when he accepts the challenge of auxiliary policeman to assist the highly decorated Chief Inspector, his Uncle Matt, while his partner the Chief Superintendent, his Uncle Ken and another most recognized and decorated cop in Ontario, is away on vacation.
Malcolm Weistein is released legally from jail. Conrad Cameron escapes from prison, and through witch craft, compels his half- brother to meet him in Forest Lake. He has a score to settle with Uncle Ken, Conrad's distant cousin. The Chief Superintendent, along with his wife, Ted's Aunt Charlotte is raising Crystal as their own daughter.
The stand-off begins with Uncle Matt and Ted when Conrad holds the entire Olson family hostage, threatening to kill the babies if his demands are not met. Uncle Matt tells him he doesn't have the authority to see that he gets Crystal back and Conrad demands Uncle Ken be brought back from vacation. The stand-off ends peacefully.
Ted is touched when he notices a definite softening from within, in Conrad. he learns the power of prayer as the Holy Spirit works in the once high priest and brings him to salvation.

The Asquinn Family Comes To the James Bay Frontier

2010-11-06T06:49:00.000-07:00

The Book is in three parts;

Part One

Into The James Bay Frontier

A young woman, Erma Asquinn, with three- year- old twins, Marty and Martha and a six-year-old, Ken, and Ricky, the baby in her arms, leave all that is familiar in her home in Aberystwyth, Wales. Erma follows her missionary husband, Obediah Asquinn across the ocean and to Canada. Eventually she ends up in Northern Ontario on the very tip of the province; a vast area known as The James Bay Frontier and where the beautiful white Trillium blooms. The Trillium is a flower that grows in abundance on the wooded forest floor in the spring and is the symbol of abundance, peace, and prosperity.

Erma finds memories of living in the James Bay Frontier bitter sweet.

Devil worshiping abounds in this dark and heathen area and Erma worries how these evil spirits will affect her children, the four that arrived in the hamlet of Forest Lake with her and the other children born later. Erma realizes her husband has been called by God to come to this are to prepare a people for Him.

Ken meets another boy, Matthew Turehue, his age who becomes his life-long friend. Matt has a sister, Charlotte to whom, without pressure from the older folk, Ken becomes engaged to at the ages of ten and thirteen. Under their own will and understanding what they were doing, Matt asks Martha to wait for him and marry him when they grow older. Martha agrees.The
proposas are sealed with an engagement ring and a kiss.
It is Matt's dream to become a policeman with Ontario's police force. Ken follows this dream along with him. But as the boys move into their teens and high school, what Forest Lake has to offer is suddenly not good enough. Their vision shifts to joining and training with the Royal Canian Mounted Police.

Part Two
Where The Trail Forks

In part two Erma's oldest son, Ken, the child of her heart, and his best friend, Matt Turehue are not living the well behaved christian life as they did when boys. During their high school and teen years both boys, being only human, stumble and stray from Christ- like living. For years the friends, now married to their childhoods betrothals, live anything but a godly life. Now almost nineteen years old and waiting to enter the police academy in Regina, Saskatchewan, they live the way in every way a christian should not. They get lofty ideas and want more than the little hamlet of Forest Lake offers. They want to joined the mounties instead of the provincial police.
A rift is formed between both sets of parents and when it's time to leave for police college, the trail forks and Erma wonders if it will ever be repaired again. Pastor Asquinn reassures her the boys (now married to Martha and Charlotte) will be back with their tails between their legs.

Part Three

No Greener Pastures

Ken and Matt have graduated from police college and are full- fledged members of Canada's famed Mounted Police. But are they happy? Ken is given a placement in a small town in Saskatchewan while Matt is placed on an Indian reservation on the northern tip of the province. Both continue living ungodly lives.
Charlotte, with their two sons, Murray and Kirk, leaves Ken because of his unfaithfulness, but when Ken arrives in Forest Lake, she is all too ready to forgive him his transgressions against her and Ken forgives her transgression against him. They get back together again and after the church is certain he's returned solidly to God's fold, reinstates him to church fellowship. He's stumbled but in God's grace, he did not completely fall.
Ken quits the Mounted Police and joins Ontario's own police force. Immediately Charlotte notices he is more at peace.
Matt and Martha have stayed together. Matt arrives with Martha and the two boys, Gerald and Lyle, back in Forest Lake three years later and together the old friends patrol the streets of Forest lake.
In the end Ken and Matt found out there are no greener pastures but God's greener pastures.

Hi,
I want to take this opportunity to tell you all about the first book in The Asquinn Family Saga. The James Bay Frontier is set in the more laid back era of 1945-1968. It's Mamcu's (Grandma's) story and tells how she, with four children, left all that was familiar in her home in Wales and followed Tadcu(Grandpa) to Canada, and eventually ending up in the James Bay Frontier. The town they settled in is the scenic little hamlet of Forest Lake, (fictitious name)where the family settles and Tadcu's preaches and prepares a people for God.
The story transcends ages and genres. There is a question page at the back so that readers can study the book with their book club group. Sunday Schools, Youth camps, and Church camps can use the book as well as Christian schools, and anyone that works with adolescence. If you are in the position do do so, please have the adolescence (or any age) in your charge read this book.
