This is a book of rhyming poetry. Poetry about many facets of life about and including crime, passions, feelings, character, religion, politics, personal improvement, personal issues, children, the raising of our children, families, discipline, our responsibilities, encouragement and so much more. It is about compassion and answers to questions with no apparent answers. The message is communicated through rhyming poetry - easy to read and understand - no hidden meanings - just plain text for easy comprehension to identify with. It is a personal letter to you - shared feelings that affect us as passing souls in our lifetime. It includes an observation of many years - both of long ago and the present. It contains issues like anger, frustrations, and self control. It is also an attempt to awaken the sensibilities of those with a short attention span - to the serious issues that affect us all in this day and age. Poetry to perhaps make you think, stirring your feelings as mine has been stirred. Hopefully, you too, will read and then say "Yes, oh yes, I can identify with this " And also included are poems that will plant a big smile on your face Humorous or dead serious, it is all about the TRUTH

Combining thematic analysis and stimulating close readings, 'The Collar' is a wide-ranging study of the many ways - heroic or comic, shrewd or dastardly - in which Christian clergy have been represented in literature, from George Herbert and Laurence Sterne, via Anthony Trollope, G.K. Chesterton, T.S. Eliot, and Graham Greene, to Susan Howatch and Robertson Davies, and in film and television, such as 'Pale Rider', 'The Thorn Birds', 'The Vicar of Dibley', and 'Father Ted'. Since all Christians are expected to be involved in ministry of some type, the assumptions of secular culture about ministers affect more than just clergy. Ranging across several nations (particularly Britain, the U.S., and Canada), denominations, and centuries, 'The Collar' encourages creative and faithful responses to the challenges of Christian leadership and develops awareness of the times when leadership expectations become too extreme.Using the framework of different media to make inquiries about pastoral passion, frustration, and fallibility, Sue Sorensen's well-informed, sprightly, and perceptive book will be helpful to anyone who enjoys evocative literature and film as well as to clergy and those interested in practical theology.
