St George and the Dragons

St George and the Dragons

St George's Day has become a topic of debate as more and more organizations promote celebrations on 23 April and more people wave the flag of St George to proclaim their allegiance and identity. But who was St George? How did this Near Eastern martyr become England's patron saint and an icon of English culture? And what is his relevance for today's secular, multicultural England? New research reveals that from the third century St George was revered as a healer, protector of women and the poor and patron of agriculture and metal-working more than a military dragon-slayer. Discover the origin of the cross of St George and the roles of Richard I, Edward III and Henry VIII in making St George the patron saint of England. With a foreword by Professor Emeritus Dan Brown, this richly-illustrated celebration of English culture shows how St George can be reinterpreted for our times while remaining true to our English heritage. St George can be enlisted in the cause of ecology, the campaign against FGM, and the fight to end modern slavery and resettle refugees. English yet international, revered both by Christians and Muslims, St George is a multicultural figure who symbolizes universal values.

John Henry Newman was an important and controversial figure in the religious history of England in the 19th century.

During the four years he spent in Dublin he was was instrumental in the founding of the Catholic University of Ireland in 1854; this later evolved into University College Dublin, now the largest university in Ireland.

The Feminists Go Swimming

The Feminists Go Swimming

Michael Collins explores different aspects of the Irish character, and neatly satirises his country's current preoccupations. Feminism, alcohol, emigration and the Church - none escape the author's caustic and unforgiving eye. As always with Collins, there are humour and horror in equal measure, love and betrayal mingled with defiance and laughter. 'Michael Collins's vision is breathtakingly black and his writing so sharp you could cut yourself on it' IRISH TIMES

The debut collection of essays from one of Britain's most celebrated photographers. For many years, photographer Michael Collins had wondered what exactly it was that he found so mysterious and compelling about photography. In this series of linked pieces, Collins offers a reappraisal of photographic genres – including the humble and ubiquitous – that he believes are worthy of greater understanding. From restoring abandoned photos, whose subjects are lost to time, to a quotidian history of the studio portrait; from tracing the origins of the photographic survey within the wider field of the history of art to an experiment in portraiture using gorillas, Collins reveals what it is about photography that is so enduringly fascinating.

When You Lack Oil

When You Lack Oil

Michael Collins Tettey; Richard Owusu Akyeaw; Alexander Obeng Boateng

Ink Touch

pokkari
The function of oil in the everyday life of an individual is overwhelming. Most countries have their economy revolving around the oil deposit on their land. Oil is essential in the development of every nation. God is also into the business of oil. He gives oil, and He uses oil as a representation of His presence and power in the lives of His ministers. Most Machines and vehicles can never be efficient without the use of proper oil in their engines or hubs. When there is no oil, friction and rust destroy the capabilities of a good machine. This book throws more light on the importance of oil in the life of a minister. It shows the significance of the presence of God in the Church. "When you lack oil" simply means "When you lack the presence of the Holy Spirit". What is the effect on those without the presence of the Holy Spirit in their lives and ministry? How can you accomplish more without the power of the Holy Spirit? You cannot serve God well without the Helper, who abides in you forever; Jesus Christ assured His followers in John 14:12, "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also, and greater works than these he will do because I go to My Father." We must believe in Jesus Christ to enable us to serve God and do more outstanding works. That is the assurance we have. Again, Jesus Christ promised His followers the Helper in John 14:16, 17, and 26. And I will pray for the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever. There is a Helper who will remain and stay forever. He is the third person in Trinity, God the Father, the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. He is your comforter. He is your counsellor. He is your Helper. He is your intercessor; He is your advocate. He is your strength. As you read this book and ponder the scriptures, we pray that the Holy Spirit will strengthen you. The same Holy Spirit fortified David after returning from war, and the enemies took his family captive. (1 Samuel 30:6) The oil represents the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. (Exodus 29:7). We need the oil in our lives to empower us to serve God well. (Acts 1:8)

Raphael's World

Raphael's World

Michael Collins

Messenger Publications
2020
nidottu
Hailed by his contemporaries as “the divine painter,” Raphael Sanzio of Urbino ( 1483-15200 was one of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance. A contemporary of Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael was sought out by popes, kings and aristocrats to decorate their residences. Michael Collins’ new biography, Raphael’s World, portrays the era in which the divine painter lived. Born thirty years after the invention of the printing press and nine years before the discovery of the New World, Raphael harnessed the new techniques of printing and the riches which flowed from the Americas into Europe in the early 16th century. The political map of Europe was changing as Raphael painted for his wealthy patrons. Pope Julius II commissioned him to decorated his apartments at the Vatican while Pope Leo X appointed him architect of the new St. Peter’s which replaced the 1000 year old Constaintinian basilica. While Raphael painted the Apostolic Palace and designed tapestries to be hung in the Sistine Chapel, a German friar, Martin Luther was about to rend Christendom apart. Raphael’s World brings the reader into the ducal court of Urbino, and follows the young Raphael to Perugia where he studied in the studio of Perugino, to Florence where he saw Michaelangelo and Da Vinci at work, to Rome where he painted for popes and cardinals, as well as Agostino Chigi, one of the wealthiest patrons of the day. Based on contemporary documentation, Raphael’s World explores the complex era in which the artist flourished and introduces the reader to the fascinating panoply of patrons. The 500th anniversary of the death of Raphael occurs on 6 April 2020. There will be a number of events to celebrate the event, including the rare display of his Sistine tapestries and a symposium at the Vatican and other galleries around the world.

On any other day just another dust bunny landing on a boy's wretchedly squalid bedroom floor would go unnoticed. But not this time. The arrival of Rayon, an intrusively bright blue dust bunny recently entangled from a hat, triggers a full-scale tidy-up. Now every tribe of dust bunny in the house is in danger of being inhaled by the insatiable central vacuum system. But, from the sound of it's feeble gasping, that old, congested and wheezing vacuum cleaner needs some professional maintenance before it's full power can be unleashed on the defenceless dust bunnies. With only 48 hours until the repairman comes, Rayon and his new friends Knickers, Stour, Twill and the fluff-brained fuzzballs have to make their perilous way from basement to attic to recruit the forces of entropy, entanglement and technology in a bid to save themselves - and every tribe of dust bunny in the house - from certain annihilation...the Spring Clean.

Look Up

Look Up

Sarah Cruddas; Michael Collins

HQ
2020

‘Sarah Cruddas is a gifted writer and Look Up is an inspired book. I am hopeful that we will never stop looking up.’ Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins Most of us have never been to space. To date, of the more than 100 billion humans that have ever existed, fewer than 600 humans have ever left Earth. But the exploration of space is the most significant thing we will ever do as a species. Sarah Cruddas has been looking to the skies her entire life. Her childhood was spent staring at the Moon and hearing stories of the space race, and she worked in a fruit factory to fund her love of the subject. Her subsequent career studying astrophysics, and becoming a television host and space journalist has seen her report on space exploration and chase launches across the world. In Look Up Sarah explains why she has always been a passionate advocate for why space should matter – to everyone. From our ancestors who first painted patterns of the stars in caves, to the US and Soviet pioneers who first forged a path beyond our planet, Sarah Cruddas explores the stories and sacrifices that humankind has made to understand more about our place in the universe. And even today, when Moon walking and people in space suits seem less relevant to us than climate change and conflicts here on Earth, she shows how everything from medicine to mobile phones is affected by space technology, and how a new generation of entrepreneurs have kick-started a new story with the stars. This is an inspirational and enlightening introduction to the importance of space to everyone, and why we should all learn to Look Up.
