This anthology is one volume from C.J.S. Hayward's collected works. It includes creative work ranging from very short to moderately long: an open letter to spam patrons, a look at Java and programming, a work that turns Gilbert and Sullivan's "Modern Major-General" on its head, a look at what is good about uncreative web design and what is not so good when administrators leave employees drowning in required readings, a few koans, a look at television and religion, a revised version of a classic FAQ list, and finally a satirical dictionary in the tradition of Ambrose Bierce.

This book is a paean of the glory of God: a doxology, containing many of C.J.S. Hayward's recent works of Eastern Orthodox Christian theology. The works are varied, but illuminated by common themes, chief among them the Sermon on the Mount and the Bible and Philokalia and their practical and poignant in spirituality in hard times and global economic (and political) crisis. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: C.J.S. (Jonathan) Hayward wears many hats: author, philosopher, theologian, artist, poet, wayfarer, philologist, inventor, web guru, teacher. He is an Eastern Orthodox Christian, has lived in the U.S., Malaysia, England, and France, and holds master's degrees bridging math and computers (UIUC), and philosophy and theology (Cambridge). He has websites at JonathansCorner.com and CJSHayward.com.

This anthology is one volume from C.J.S. Hayward's collected works. It includes an offbeat chain letter parody, a no less whimsical work (although more serious) in which a Church Father comments on a postmodern trend, a solemn farewell to a holiday, a look at all spirituality boiling down to two basic rules, a relatively long short story that looks at what, exactly, can be good about a life filled with pain, a paean of praise about the glory of the Creator reflected in the Creation, a dialogue exploring whether, exactly, time is what a watch measures, and then two closing, connected stories. One is a science fiction short story, and the other a fantasy novella, but they have much in common.

This anthology is one volume from C.J.S. Hayward's collected works. It includes a not-quite-right historical parody, a story of the worlds to be seen in Orthodox icons, a lighter look at the kinds of jobs that are available to theologians, a present-day revisiting that looks at the most famous allegory in Plato's writing, a look at two momentous moments, two documents about Eastern Orthodox Christianity in aspects that can be harder for Western Christians to pick, one of which takes a look at a Calvinist lens, a look at how much more there is in life than money, and a collection of vignettes each of which is meant to provide a little taste of Eastern Orthodox Christianity.
