Book Description
Poetry. "In Afton Wilky's CLARITY SPEAKS OF A CRYSTAL SEA, entire rooms of installation are captivated by book form. The pages hold out paper sculptures, words in compound trains and scatters, and juxtapositions of wrought and abandoned explanation, while the character Haada acts in story fragments that bring us closer in to this book's 'blinkers and the stammering whispers.' An incredible balance between openness—text in movement—and refinement—text brought to a pitch of expressive preparation—is part of what makes you feel you are in the room where it's happening. Hand- writing entries, cutting-room floor word piles, the thirsty water glasses, the photographed concertinas and text-braids: all these elements are paced to make the book a whole experience, air shifting through the brain and black ink at the heart. This is 'piling' at its excruciatingly breathing hinge, and it's beautiful."—Lisa Samuels

Read my Mind
Author: Fred Sedgwick
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113476359X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
In this, Sedgwick's latest book, he aims to help all those involved with children and their learning through poem-writing improve their practice. He argues that through poetry, children can learn about the whole curriculum, including history and science. The book begins with an introduction outlining the importance of poetry, and defining it. It discusses poetry in terms of children's learning and the imagination. Case studies are used to show how children learn about themselves - first, their bodies, and second, their thoughts and emotions - through the writing of poetry. Using many examples of childrens work he considers how children learn about their environment and the relationship between themselves and their environment. Finally, he discusses his techniques for getting children to write and provides recommendations for further reading. Fred Sedgwick is a freelance lecturer and writer specialising in children's writing, art and personal, social and moral education and has been described as 'the nearest thing I've seen to the Pied Piper'. Previously a headteacher in primary schools for 16 years, he has published books of poetry for both children and adults.

When the Man Comes Around: A Commentary on the Book of Revelation
Author: Douglas Wilson
Publisher: Canon Press & Book Service
ISBN: 1947644920
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
"Though St. John the Evangelist saw many strange monsters in his vision, he saw no creature so wild as one of his own commentators." ~ G.K. Chesterton The book of Revelation was written to do just that: reveal. But most commentaries nowadays either engage in bizarre speculations about the future, or they keep an embarrassed distance from all the apocalyptic events that the apostle John says will “shortly take place.” In this commentary, Douglas Wilson provides a passage-by-passage walkthrough of the entire book, showing how John’s most notorious prophecies concern the Fall of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Explaining symbols and characters as he goes, Wilson shows from the text that not only is this book not an elaborate code, but that Revelation is not even ultimately concerned with the end of the world as we know it. Revelation is about the triumph of the Church, which always happens when the Man comes around.

The Testimony of Jesus: 1907 Biblical Study Notes on the Book of Revelation
Author: George N.H. Peters
Publisher: BookLocker.com, Inc.
ISBN: 1634908228
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
This book contains the author’s (George N.H. Peters) never before published 1907 study notes on the biblical book of Revelation. Mr. Peters unique approach to interpretation faithfully adheres to the the plain grammatical sense of scripture. By doing so He successfully combines biblical prophecy with oath-bound covenants (Abrahamic and Davidic) to unlock this book’s predominant symbolic language. Peters correctly identifies Jesus (not St. John) as the real source of this prophecy. He clarifies the main subject of the book as being, not a ‘Revelation’ of future events but rather, an ‘Apocalypse,’ a personal appearing. He further demonstrates through the symbols used that the ‘Day of the Lord,’ or 2nd Advent, (like the 1st Advent) will unfold in distinct stages and over a discernible period of time. Therefore, although this study is today over 100 years old the reader is instantly confronted, through this ‘Testimony,’ by Jesus, the predicted ‘Son of Man,’ righteously administering the judgements of God and proclaiming His physical return to establish His Kingdom on earth. The prophetic future series of events laid out strikes the reader as eerily similar to today’s dangerous and chaotic world.

ENOCHIM Anna and Jamie were soon to celebrate their twelfth birthday and looked forward to getting the usual presents. However, the early birthday present they received was to be attacked in their own home by two mysterious strangers which left them distraught and their mum fighting for her life.

The road they were now travelling would teach them many new and old truths and would lead them to witness the greatest battle the universe and history had ever seen. But as well as these universal truths, Jamie and Anna would also discover the truth about their dead grandfather and 'the wolf' he had to battle. The story of Jamie and Anna is the story of The Enochim and even now, 'The half has not yet been told'.
