A timeless, little-known literary classic. As the Black Death
ravaged London in 1608, the theatres closed, many people moved out
of town for safety, and playwrights scrambled to find other outlets
for their talent. While Shakespeare retreated to his hometown of
Stratford, Thomas Dekker wrote Four Birds of Noah's Ark, a book
containing fifty-six prayers for the people of London and all of
England. Dekker's prayers bear witness to his deep faith and
profound understanding of human psychology with a power and
poignancy that few written prayers in English literature achieve.
Bringing this devotional classic back into print for the first time
since 1924, editor Robert Hudson has included a fine introduction,
annotated the prayers, and modernised the language without
sacrificing any of its beauty and simplicity. This lovely book at
once surprises and enchants with its literary voice, devotional
heart, and accessible writing.
This Is A New Release Of The Original 1912 Edition.
7 ready-to-use lessons on the topic: Between a Rock and a Hard
Place. Each lesson consists of 20 or so ready-to-use questions that
get groups talking. Answers are provided in the form of quotes from
respected authors such as John Piper, Max Lucado and Beth Moore.
These lessons will save you time as well as provide deep insights
from some of the great writers and thinkers from today and
generations past. I also include quotes from the same commentaries
that your pastor uses in sermon preparation. Ultimately, the goal
is to create conversations that change lives.
