Recipient of the prestigious $100,000 Templeton Prize, Brother John
is the true story of a monastic encounter between August Turak,
going through a midlife crisis, and an umbrella wielding Trappist
monk: a magical Christmas Eve encounter that eventually leads the
author and us all to the redemptive power of an authentically
purposeful life. Uplifting, deeply moving, and set in the
magnificent Trappist monastery of Mepkin Abbey, Brother John is
dramatically brought to life with twenty-two full-color original
oil paintings by Glenn Harrington, a multiple award-winning artist.
Brother John works equally well either as a Christmas gift or all
year long, and the book's inspirational message and rich
illustrations are sure to bring the reader back again and again.
He was the greatest poet and playwright who ever lived, the
dramatist who penned lines that we quote without even realising
their origin. Shakespeare's glorious works have even inspired
animated films - like Disney's "The Lion King". Introduce children
to the Bard with this wonderful, fully annotated collection of
sonnets and soliloquies, enhanced with beautiful, highly realistic
colour paintings that bring each excerpt to vivid life. Here are
Shakespeare's most famous speeches: including everything from
"Hamlets" - 'To be or not to be' - and "Macbeth's" witches cackling
'Double, double, toil and trouble' to the sonnets, "Shall I compare
thee to a summer's day?" and humourous songs sung in comedies such
as "Twelfth Night". Every entry is a revelation.
