Product Description
The poet George Herbert was born in1593 and died just before his fortieth birthday in1633.While an undergraduate at Cambridge, he wrote to tell his mother that he had resolved that the poetry he wrote would always be 'consecrated to God's glory'. He wrote poetry throughout his life, but we only know of it now because, from his death bed, he sent the manuscript of the collection of his poems known as 'The Temple' to his friend Nicholas Ferrar of Little Gidding. He asked him 'to bring that piece into the world if he thought good of it, else to burn it.' Ferrar thought so highly of it that he said 'he could not sufficiently admire it, as a rich Jewell, and most worthy to be in the hands and hearts of all true Christians.' Within a few months of Herbert's death Ferrar had had the poems published, and thirteen new editions were published during the next seventy years.Today fewer people know Herbert's poetry. Jane Falloon has written 'Heart in Pilgrimage' because of her desire that it should be more widely read and appreciated by non-academic lovers of literature. New readers will be astonished by its accessibility: his sentiments and humour are so modern and immediate: they will find that poem after poem gives them a feeling of wonder, delight, recognition of genius, sheer happiness, and shock. She has chosen twenty four of her favourite poems, and has added to each of them her own appreciation and critical analysis, combining her own commentary with that of such distinguished Herbert scholars as Helen Vendler, Elizabeth Clarke, T.S.Eliot, Seamus Heaney, and Dr. Rowan Williams the Archbishop of Canterbury, to whom the book is dedicated. She has introduced this selection with chapters on the life of George Herbert, and also of his friend Nicholas Ferrar, without whose efforts these wonderful poems would have been lost to the world. ...

Still fun to read
These eight stories were better than I remembered them.In these stories, Wells wrote mainly about the time he lived in, and he is very capable of bringing the reader back to the time and helping them to see just what it was like.From a historical perspective, fascinating.

The plots are intriguing, and the characters are believable.Unlike Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who I think was only able to bring Holmes and Watson to life and found it difficult to write about other characters, Wells creates numerous characters that come alive.

Even the Country of the Blind, which I never liked much before, was interesting not just as a story but as a provocative statement on culture, religion and science.

I loved this book and highly recommend it.

More Wall Than Door
Wells is never quite able to break free from an industrial age mindset, and this has always been one of his drawbacks for me towards the appreciation of his work. The title story stands on its own as a classic juxtaposition of cosmopolitan worldliness against idyllic innocence, but Wells was never visionary enough to transcend his time, and his scientific suppositions seem quaint by today's standards, especially "A Dream of Armageddon" which is pretty much a contradiction in terms, even if one accepts the historical constraints on the author. "The Lord of the Dynamics" is also offensively exploitative even if you allow for the bigotry of the age. There may be some minor typographical errors that the text preparer missed, particularly in "The Cone," I am not sure, but if you like the faith in mechanical supremacy that so called classical speculative fiction offers, then you like H.G. Wells, but he just isn't quite my cup of tea, even conceding his place as a master storyteller.

good stories
I got this book in an instant on my Kindle and so far I love it. I haven't yet read all the stories but the ones I have read I have really enjoyed. It's really easy to read even though it's written in an old style.

Another collection somewhat like Twelve Stories and a Dream, with a mixture of genres.This one throws in a couple of darkly humoured pieces in the last three stories.The best are Empire of the Ants and The Country of the Blind.

Product Description
When leading children to an abiding faith in Jesus Christ, it is not enough to know what to teach.One must also know how to teach, using materials and techniques which, at every stage of a child's development, respect the maturity, emotional needs and varied learning styles of our children. There is no substitute for mastery of the teaching process. Prayerful consecration cannot take its place. Ready command of the methods of teaching, on the other hand, is in no sense equivalent to having been "called" or "chosen" to teach religion. The two must go hand in hand. LEADING CHILDREN TO FAITH: A MANUAL OF EFFECTIVE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FOR CONTEMPORARY CHURCH AND HOME SCHOOL TEACHERS offers an exceptional opportunity to become a more effective Christian educator, applying the best educational science to the problems of religious instruction, without for a moment forgetting that a vital religious experience is the final goal of all teaching. ...

Product Description
George Herbert's "Holy Patterns": Reforming Individuals in Community explores Herbert's understanding of full individuality in community. Living communities depend upon imagined histories and futures. Like his mother Lady Magdalen Danvers and her friend John Donne, and unlike many of his Anglican contemporaries, Herbert imagined significant continuity with the pre-Reformation past; that imagination was tied to a prophetic imagining of the future triumph of Christ's universal and apostolic church. Herbert's project was to 'purify' a unified national church from within, this purification taking place through lives lived communally in self-scrutiny, self-regulation, sacrifice, and loving service. Such 'holy patterns' of living were imagined as leading to the purification of the whole church, the spread of the Gospel, human advancement through what we would call scientific knowledge, and international peace. ...
