Edited by Alan Jenkins, this authoritative Collected Poems contains all of the poetry that Ian Hamilton chose to publish, together with a small number of uncollected and unpublished poems; it also supplies an illuminating introduction, and succinctly helpful apparatus. The result is an edition whose thoroughness and tact are themselves a moving tribute, restoring to view one of the most distinctive bodies of work in twentieth-century English poetry.

The book is a study of the gospels, not a verse by verse commentary, but an overview of the recorded events as written by each writer, focussing on the writers view and emphasis of events recorded. The gospel of John for instance looks at each character encountered, the situation prevailing and the outcome of the encounter, whilst the gospel of Mark looks at different events with suggested headlines that may be used in sermons, lessons for the young and old, or teaching on issues such as morality, divorce, community responsibility, treatment of neighbours, faith, belief in God etc. The gospels of Matthew and Luke are looked at from a similar view ie. focussing on the salient features as record by each writer and their particular emphasis on what took place and the outcome of the dealings of the Saviour for the individuals involved. Thus the book is suitable for the students of biblical records, not requiring high academic knowledge or particular language capability, but an interest in events in the life of Jesus Christ and the purpose of his coming into this world.

The features listed in the book are by no means exhaustive , but are intended to show those that would relate more readily to human experience. Such are beneficence, compassion, deliverance, faithfulness, goodness, healing, joy, kindness etc.Examples over and above those in the text are quoted at the end of each chapter and are designed for the reader to consider to enhance knowledge and appreciation of the features listed in the book.I am aware that certain situations in life bring into question some of those features listed but our knowledge of the future is limited and we bow to the infinite knowledge of the Almighty who knows the end from the beginning.I can only hope that the lessons contained in the book will be of some help in understanding the dealings of God in the experiences of life, whether pleasing or otherwise.

Thisbook is the fruit of a number of years of assimilating another culture and learning about the evolution of its institutions, altogether an incr- iblyrich andrewarding experience. Ihopetopassonto the reader some of that richness in the belief that, even in a “globalizing” context, learning about other nations and cultures is more and more necessary. The reasons andvalues behind this belief are perhaps evident,but I amconvincedthat they bear repeating here. To begin with, the hasty generalizations that often liebehind the cynicism—and ultimately the violence—of ethnocentrism and xe- phobia are still being aired today and still need to be fought, even in “unified and advanced” regions of the world like Europe and the United States. The historical and social sciences disciplines need to be solicited constantly in this combat, even though they themselves are terrains of controversy and contestation. I personally have not lost faith in their “progressive” potential and character. Second, my belief is that only through this process of appeal to these disciplines and their findings can we resist a dangerous contemporary slide into simplisticand sensation- ist pictures of the world—viewpoints often associated with an implicit assumption that social and economic change are linear processes, so- how unfolding according to the same neat “logic” wherever they are at work.

The search for love (or failing that, sex), the passing of time and the inevitability of pain and grief, the struggle for transcendence against our awareness of limitation: these are the things that can suddenly seem to compose a life - a life not so much reduced to essentials as seen in its passionate essence, a 'shorter' life.

In the harried, expect-the-unexpected flow of everyday life, faith seems far away for many people. Your car breaks down. The bills are due. The kids need school supplies. The business report remains unwritten.In A Wakeful Faith, Jenkins asserts that living awake to God in all of our daily affairs is the answer. Only when we become consciously aware of God's gracious activity in the details of the day can we transform and find purpose in our lives today."Each day brings a flood of demands for our time and attention," writes Jenkins. "Deep down, many of us feel the pace is killing us, but we do not admit it very often. After all, everyone else seems to get along okay. Something is killing us, but it is not the pace. It is the inattention to our deepest desire, the desire for God."Filled with humor and grounded in scripture, A Wakeful Faith calls us to a refreshed sense of God's presence, which can lead to spiritual well-being in all dimensions of life. Jenkins offers practical suggestions to rouse our spiritual wakefulness and alertness to God in daily living by showing how Jesus trained disciples to perceive the kingdom and to know God.Appropriate for individuals and small groups, A Wakeful Faith contains questions for reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter.
