This little book, "Teach us to Pray," is my way of inviting the entire Church to this necessary practice of discipleship. Prayer is not, in the first instance, about techniques. It is about disposition and relationship. The technique will come if we have the right disposition towards God, and thus, the right relationship with God. With the right disposition - a Christian disposition rooted in the Gospels - a conversation with God is an incredible prayer, as we come to know who we are in Christ Jesus our Lord. Moreover, we get to know our Father and His awesome love that is always present in little and great things. We recognise that God's love has been pursuing us long before we ever knew it. Prayer is about this love - from beginning to end. This disposition towards love and the relationship with a loving Father is what Christ taught his disciples. This I want to pass on to you.
This book is a compilation of my writings on preaching. It is intended to offer the reader a journey through the rudiments of preaching as a discipline, to the deeper calling of mystagogue. It is my belief that preaching is an underutilised gift, that within the Church it is too seldom used to its full potential. A preacher who understands the rudiments and follows them with a sense of the depth of the journey, who furthermore has been initiated into the sacred mysteries, begins to allow the gift of preaching to mature in him and to offer fine aged wine.
These pages of poetry will touch the readers soul. It will take you to places in your mind, some you've been and experienced and others you can only imagine. Allow the words to flow through your soul and the winds of heaven will dance with you.

A Fleece of Gold: Five Lessons from the Fable of Jason and the Golden Fleece is a philosophy classic by Charles Stewart Given. Among the smaller forces which operate upon the mind and tend toward strengthening and exalting the best ideals, are little books like this. They are especially valuable when so much of the author's own experience forms a thread upon which are suspended jewels of thought and illustration serviceable to those who would see and know the best things.
*Includes pictures *Includes ancient accounts *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading There are few mythological characters that require less of an introduction than Hercules. His "labours" are known and have been reimagined by cultures far beyond their Greek beginnings, and he continues to influence modern culture in more ways than any other ancient Greek hero. What is curious about Hercules's character is that, despite his fame even in the ancient world, there was no authoritative source for his biography. The Library of Myths, commonly though falsely attributed to Apollodorus, is frequently used to illustrate the key episodes of Hercules's life. Despite being written at some time during the 2nd century CE, the Library encapsulates much of the "conglomerate of popular tales" that has become Hercules's vulgate biography. Ultimately, though these tales are well known, their true beauty lies in the social and religious influence of their telling and the historical memories that remain, to this day, as shadows in their lines. The story of Jason and his crew of Argonauts is one of the best-known and most beloved myths of all time. Blockbuster movies have been made about it, and legendary explorer and historian Tim Severin even constructed a replica of the Argo in 1984 and succeeded in sailing it to Colchis (modern-day Georgia). In the ancient world too, this myth was told and retold time and again. The best source of the myth available to the modern reader (generally considered to be Apollonius Rhodius's Argonautica) comes from the Hellenistic Period (ca. 323-31 BCE), which is very late in terms of most sources available for Greek myth. This means that the story written at that time had already been exposed to centuries of influences and additions. However, mythology is not the study of a story's beginnings alone, and very often, it is the changes and adaptations that provide the story with its most fascinating characteristics. The vague geography of the Argo's story will become apparent, but it's also important, because there are numerous theories as to why the ancient writers may have charted the journey as they did. The Argo's journey was as revelatory to Jason as it was to the late ancient Greek readers/listeners, since it incorporated many of the mythical, political, and cultural themes that pervaded myths throughout the Mediterranean. These themes accumulated with every revision and retelling of the story until it became a central motif in the Greek mindset, with strands linking it to myth, peoples, and places. It is this story of multitudes that contains the most fascinating curios of Jason and the Argonauts. Hercules & Jason and the Argonauts: The Legendary Stories of Ancient Greece's Most Famous Heroes looks at the famous myths. Along with pictures depicting important people, places, and events, you will learn about Hercules and Jason and the Argonauts like never before.
