Book Description
8 walks following the Pilgrims Routes of Britain. Giving history and extra information about some of our best known ancient routeways. A wonderful companion to these historical and spiritual walkways. Take a person, a time and a place: say Canterbury in 597, St Augustine has just arrived and sets off walking. What is he thinking? How does he find his way across the country? What would he find when he arrived at the various places along the route? Using historical stories and vignettes Cecilia Baker has gathered together to follow his, and other, footsteps we can know him and his world a little better. We can follow his route today but thankfully not have to worry about wild boars, nor highway robbery (hopefully!), nor indeed of falling foul of the monarch or his henchmen as was very much a possibility in the past. England is criss-crossed by a myriad of ancient routes that are being way-marked and walked for the first time in, often, hundreds of years, named after people who have gently faded into history. Through this book you can explore the rich heritage of England while enjoying these ancient paths. You will learn about these routes both from a geographical and historical, but also from a spiritual point of view. Walking has never been more popular both to make us healthier and to enjoy the quality of life that we now crave. We are able to enjoy this pastime today in a way that was never possible in more ancient times. So put on comfortable shoes and take a raincoat, this is Britain after all, and start walking in the footsteps of our ancient ancestors.

The Hive Of The Saints
Author: David Craig
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595336736
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 173
Book Description
"The Hive of the Saints" reveals both the beauty and the sometimes-harsh reality that is integral to a Christian's lifelong journey with grace. In this moving collection, Poet and Author David Craig shares poems from the three companions of St. Francis, stigmata poems from the Fioretti, and sonnets based on the gospel of St. Matthew. Capturing a spirit of celebration and hope, Craig's poems introduce us to genuine and eccentric characters like the Apprentice, who sticks out his foot to trip you as you pass and then "will hold his side laughing as you fall, like an insurance salesman from Nebraska." Or, the cab driver with the back-seat fare who asked, "So are you going to turn me in, or "what?"--discovering, weeks later, that the man had stabbed someone. Other poems detail the third shift at a nursing home, the Cleveland Rapid Transit Station, and a lonely Christmas spent with only the company of a remote control. In "The Hive of the Saints," Craig creates an atmosphere throughout his poetry that encourages the reader to look inward, and walk a path of spiritual discovery to a more hopeful world.
