rank among the poems of Rupert Brooke, Wilfrid Owen and Siegried Sassoon. G.A

nick-named, Woodbine Willie, because he used to give Woodbines - a brand of
cigarette - to soldiers in the trenches. This book is a book for all and for
all time. For more information click here

Grace
and Mortgage: The Language of Faith and the Debt of the World: Peter Selby. A must
for all who know something is wrong with our credit-based economy, but want to
understand what it is and how to change it. Delusion and fantasy underpins the
world’s economic system, while debt’s corrosive effect impoverishes the poorest
and despoils the earth. Peter Selby compares the world view with that of the
New Testament where we learn that the God to whom we owe everything has
cancelled our debts. Peter Selby shows that the New Testament stands in stark
contradiction to the money-morality which has led to the greed and fear that
now threaten to engulf us. £12.00,
(RRP £15)
Christianity and Social
Order: William Temple: This brilliant seminal work, first published
in 1942, explores the extent to which the Church and Christians in general have
a right to interfere in matters of Society and State. While it counsels against
the Church dabbling in party politics, it lays down principles upon which
social policies should be founded. William Temple defines those matters on
which the Church’s voice should be heard and those on which, through lack of
competence, it should be silent. His arguments are illustrated by reference to
scripture, church history and issues which were contemporary at the time of
writing. William Temple was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1942 until his death
in 1944. He was known as ‘The People’s Archbishop’ and fought for social and
economic reforms. ‘Its arguments are just as relevant today; indeed, we can
only regret that as a nation, we have made so little progress in the directions
that Temple prophetically indicated.’ Third Way ‘This book has been described
as one of the foundation piers of the welfare state.’ Times Educational
Supplement. USD $15
Seeking
Meaning – Prayer as Quest: Ian Corbett and Chris Dunton. An elderly
priest, in mourning the absence of a young lover, is led to consider wider
issues of loss and isolation and where meaning is to be found in our lives.
This involves exploring issues such as the hiddenness of God and the
limitations to what answers may be found. A long-standing friend and academic
interleaves comments on the relationship between theology, literature and the
arts which are so central to this quest.
A Glimpsed-at Reality A

haibun - a diary of memoir, travel and images of the natural world, in prose
and poem.
…a collection of life’s gems: beauty, wisdom and meaning are found in the
