The Assurance of Hope: An Anthology
Editat de Christopher Howseen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 2006
Christopher
Howse
opens
his
inspiring
new
collection
with
a
brilliant
introduction
in
which
he
examines
the
origin
of
the
word
comfort
and
shows
how
its
meaning
has
been
devalued
in
common
usage.
Comfort
is
a
rich
concept
and
should
not
be
taken
as
a
simple
thing.
It
is
sometimes
at
its
most
stirring
when
the
outlook
is
black,
as
this
book
bears
testament.
The book contains over eighty extracts, in prose and verse, from a wide variety of spiritual writers of a Christian background who have won a place in the English-speaking tradition, including Augustine, Christina Rossetti, John Donne, Oscar Wilde, C.S. Lewis, Hilaire Belloc and Emily Dickinson to name but a few.

Recenzii
'an
excellent
book
to
have
beside
you
as
you
bask
in
the
glow
of
a
good
hike
in
2007...a
collection
reflecting
a
constant
appetite
for
hope
and
the
strong
hand
of
religion
among
thinking,
feeling
people
down
the
ages.'
