"The I one Jesus of Sepphoris of Galilee clearly state that herein is carried my true and consistent testimony as written in my own hand from the time of my appearing on a bank of the Jordan River to my post-resurrection on the outskirts of Jerusalem." There thus begins this one of a kind harbinger of goodness. Written with much enthusiasm and passion the narrative movement is lively and yet of a comfortable pace having as it does an attractive sensibility and quest. It invites the reader to a refreshing manner of wisdom and thought which encourages an earnest commitment to live a morally good life. It puts forth the view that to be truly human we need to live nobly and that to live nobly we need to be of a fearless trust. This is a work of fiction fashioned from a single source, namely The Gospel According to Mark. It presents an authentic eye-witness testimony; a first person narrative of certain events which took place in the life of a one Jesus of Sepphoris.

Clearly you are someone who is looking for meanings to life. In your search for them you have perhaps been spending an inordinate amount of time strolling and basking in say the company of Tolle, Dyer, Chopra, Winfrey, Coelho, Meyer, Jakes, O'Donohue, Glenstal, Byrne and Nietzsche and even the Dalai Lama. Howsoever, of late you have been feeling the need to be on the look out for possible alternatives; alternatives that would be edging out of the ordinary, if not in fact hovering outside it for extended periods of time. If such is the case, then you owe it to yourself to give this present contemplative work some serious consideration. Assuredly, it will not disappoint for here is an exceptional book; a virtual cornucopia of original accumulated wisdom; a treasure trove of creative philosophical allegories that you will greatly enjoy delving into. You will be looking forward to reading Solaris Hibernia by degrees; needing you to but read from it a few passages a day for a sagely takeaway.

Of an eve in December 2013, the voice of Khalil Gibran visits Irish philosopher, poet, publisher, Richard of Eire while the latter is enjoying a cup of tea in a hotel lobby in Cork city in Ireland. He has an extraordinary favour to ask. He explains that while he was in this life he had never produced a literary work dedicated to William Butler Yeats. He expresses that he has a growing need to sing a deeper song to the world; to build a greater tower in the sky which he would dedicate to Yeats. To give light of day to this aspiration he has sought out the attentive ear and diligent pen of Richard of Eire. Bradawn Yeats is this deeper song; this greater tower. This is a work that could also very well serve as an enlightening resource for both the everyday-in-the-world lay contemplative of any or no creed, and the cloistered; a means of introducing them to the possibility of familiar concepts having surprising and endless associations.

While it is customary to have a spiritual book be solely on spirituality; a philosophical on philosophy, and a romantic on romance, it is rare indeed to come across a work that incorporates all three. Such a work is Visitant Eve. All saffron hued in a delightful Taoist sunshine is it a uniquely innovative work; a work of spirituality, philosophy, and romance having distinct Jewish, Christian, and Islamic associations. Save for the dream 'Right to live' which was written in June 2013, the work dates from December 2009 to August 2010. The charming interwoven love story is an adaptation of Scottish poet Andrew Lang's beautiful 1887 translation of the 12th century French work, Aucassin et Nicolete. At a time when the world is felt to be greatly in need of some genuine moral courage, does this succinct work from a nuptial hermit of the isle of Eire (Ireland), admirably go someways towards an attempted response to that need.

Monk Colombano Europaggio of Bobbio, Italy is a passionate mettlesome heir to St. Columbanus of Bangor, Ireland. His heart-wrenching vexations, frustrations, and anxieties with so many pressing concerns such as absolutism, totalitarianism, puritanism, fanaticism; the biosphere, conflicts, wars, belief, vocation, chastity and marriage, and of the Church hierarchy's lack of courage to take action on what is happening to Christians in for instance Syria are also among our own pressing concerns. His courageous journeying through these potentially hazardous fields leading to his discovery of a treasure trove of solaces unfolds for us a contentment and a hope for a better tomorrow. The work which appears on this the 1400th anniversary of the passing of St. Columbanus is dedicated to the Vatican Secretary of State: His Eminence, Cardinal Pietro Parolin.

Presenting a modest down to earth philosophical point of departure for boundless allegorical interpretation of the self-evident global reality of unexplained sightings in the skies, in the waters and on the land and by inference mysterious entities of unknown origins, whereabouts, capabilities, inabilities, motivations and intentions. "We have as such simply no way of saying or describing exactly what they are other than that they are in some way of the category of living beings like ourselves; like all things living on this planet: except they are not. They are beyond this planet's categories of being; of existence and as such do not lend themselves in any way to our traditional hand-me-down terrestrial definitions." In the lockdown year of 2021, a certain Rabbi Moshe ben Avraham came and put this question to the legendary Irish nuptial recluse Intinn Mh r: What if the Exodus never took place; that never was there a forty-years of wandering in the Sinai desert or an entering and taking over of the Land of Canaan? An Imam Muhammad of Makkah al-Mukarramah asked him how the people of Ireland might be more effectively introduced to true Islam. A Roman Catholic priest setting out on missionary work to of all places the People's Republic of China wished to receive from him some pearls of wisdom.

I cannot ask my body to take a substance that is only winging it: masquerading itself as a vaccine. And of all things, I don't wish to be treated as a test case for opportunistic pharmaceutical companies . . . What is being peddled out there around the world is nothing short of a crime against humanity where national and international codes of ethics are being cast wholesale to oblivion . . ." Also featured are 32 pages of original digital illustrations done by the author - illustrations suggestive of unidentified aerial phenomena in daytime skies.

Reader, have you ever wondered if Christian visionaries down through the centuries really saw what they claimed to have seen? This is the very question the two researchers in this twenty-first century thought-provoking work of realistic fiction long mulled over before definitively answering it; at least for themselves. What if one of them could go back in time they thought; back as it were to say thirteenth century Europe and there to be privy to the visions of a visionary. That is precisely what one of them did while the other remained in the present coordinating the visitation. He went back to see; to perceive what it was a certain visionary in the hill country of Illyria was seeing throughout his life. What they discovered was nothing short of astounding. You are hereby invited to come see and ponder for yourself their amazing visual discoveries. What bearing you will let them have on your own personal faith or ideas will be very much up to you to satisfactorily determine. But assuredly, if you are a Christian you will be brought face to face with a quandary: do these visual discoveries orientate me all the more towards Christ or all the more away from Christ; do they nurture to a greater level my faith, my hope and my love or not for my fellow human beings and for every living thing, however near or far they be in space and time?

This unique work, established on Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet was debuted and warmly received at an International Conference on Gibran held in Beirut in April 2006...Given the state that the world is in today, the author is of the strong opinion that a woman's word would be more effective in bringing about a qualitative change, and even more warmly received by peoples of the world, and of his native Ireland, than say a man's, especially, if she were perceived by them to be in every way exceedingly beautiful. The work Myriam of Lebanon has been his answer...It presents a philosopher-poetess called Myriam from the Phoenician port city of Byblos of the land of Lebanon who visits the isle of Eire and while there shares of her profound wisdom...This work is a bright beacon of hope and strength for our times and beyond; a beautiful and endearing work born of the green fields of Eire and the snow-capped mountains of Lebanon.

A genre-breaking work readily encouraging and lending itself to comparison and contrast with the Holy Bible, the Holy Qur'an, and the Holy Tanakh as well as with the principal philosophical Taoist texts, namely the Tao Te Ching and The Chuang-Tzu...Essentially a contemplative work, written as it is to be interpreted both exoterically and esoterically is an attempt to restore to the bright - the light, the memory, and the power of insight, dream, and intuition...A necessary caveat respectfully to the reader: neither the Jesus of the Gospels nor the Isa (Arabic for Jesus) of the Qur'an exists here within no more...Rather what exists here within is a Jesus of Richard's own inspiration, and, who to his own heart is eminently credible, enjoyable, and profound...The work traverses the lands we in modern times would refer to as the Arabian Peninsula, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria...See Preface for more.

Profound reflections by Richard Mc Sweeney on a sampling of life's eternal concerns...Like all Richard's writings, [Generations Reaching] is being presented as a time barque for the generations of our future, thence enabling them to know and to come to appreciate the reflections and aspirations that one of their ancestors had with respect to a sampling of life's eternal concerns, while happily living simply and plainly with his wife and two children in a 21st century of his era, in a beautiful border village that the people of his day called Tallow, on the lovely isle they called Eire, of the fragile planet they called Earth, of the...As honoured guests, does Richard cordially invite we his contemporaries on board the exquisite Time Barque of the Eternal Ocean for its precious cargo to bethink for ourselves, and to bless before it sets sail from out of the bay of our own day, for the unknown worlds of the future...See Preface to learn more about this fascinating work.

A purely philosophical-poetic work, Hearing in the Write shows a marvellous fluidity and rapidity of thought...While it neither advocates nor adheres to any philosophy per se; a philosophy in the sense of being a time-honoured discipline hauling and dragging after itself otiose luggage of correct principles of reasoning, it definitely does concern itself in its own lyrical way with profound questions on what exists, what are some of the essential natures of things, how we live our lives, what 'knowledges' are thought to be, and above all it concerns itself with safeguarding the spontaneity of speculation...This delightfully exhilarating work has healing qualities about it in that through means of its powerfully nebulous thought engagements it encourages the mind back out into the heartland of wondrously uninhibited speculations...Hearing in the Write presents diversion and digression in thought and expression as essential ingredients for the good of our intellectual health.
