Many plays, poems, novels and film scripts have been written about the life of Jesus, yet none of them has focused in any great depth on what is perhaps the most spiritually dramatic period of all: his agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. This work seeks to address this omission by exploring, at length, the thoughts and emotions possibly experienced by Jesus immediately prior to his arrest. In this prayer, Jesus speaks of his: • Physical and mental anguish • Love and concern for his mother, Mary • Betrayal by Judas and the sacrifice made by the other disciples • Gratitude to God the Father • Work amongst the poor and needy • Temptation to flee the cross • Final preparation when arrest is imminent. Written in free verse, A Prayer in Gethsemane aims to achieve a natural yet heightened form of language that is worthy of its exalted subject. It strives to reach the heart and soul of Jesus and will appeal to fans of poetry, and religious readers – Christians in particular.
Accompany a long-suffering pound coin as it is thrust from one experience to another. Fly off into space to encounter a ravenous black hole monster. See what great grandma gets up to on her flashy double-decker mobility scooter. Travel with the perplexed nobleman Arvid as he urgently searches for the most beautiful thing in the world. Discover the fate of Bubblegum Billy who can’t stop blowing bubbles. Join the hunt for the fabled slithery slogbort. And many, many more adventures! Children will find fantasy and mystery, dialogues and limericks, historical and narrative poems, spoonerisms and moral issues, humour and nonsense, deeper life experiences and school matters. All complete with wonderfully fun illustrations!
Far from merely recycling what we already know about certain paradoxes, this book breaks entirely new ground by providing what everyone really wants: solutions. The king of all paradoxes is the Liar ('This statement is false.' If it is true, it is false; if it is false, it is true), which in its earliest form is over two and a half thousand years old. Throughout all this time it has resisted every attempt to fully understand it. This work finally unlocks the secrets of the Liar, exposing principles, patterns and formulae that have long lain hidden. Several other important paradoxes also come under the logical searchlight and they too surrender their treasures. Though paradoxes are inherently difficult, this book approaches them in a clear and entertaining manner, using plain English. Secrets of the Paradox is written for the general reader, yet is sufficiently rigorous to satisfy the demands of the professional philosopher. If you relish an intellectual challenge, this book is for you!
