A Gospel of Wild Flowersby Anthony Foottit, illustrated by Pat Albeck I can imagine this book being looked at and read with great enjoyment by the giver, before being passed on to the intended recipient! Anyone with eyes to see the flowers around them in the hedgerows will be familiar with the flowers portrayed so delightfully and realistically here, and the author’s musings on the flower’s appearance, properties and associated Bible and folk lore will remind you of things perhaps forgotten, or not even heard of before. A charming book, highly recommended. Review by Mary Bartholomew (28/05/10) |

The Chronicle of Pilgrimage to the Holy Land- The Adventures, The Events, The Holy SitesText Editor Deborah Camiel, Translation Betsy Karpenkopf, Photography and Illustrations, various. The UK Distributor website www.thechroniclebook.co.uk will show you the detail of this amazing book, but there is nothing like having it there before you to read through or dip into as you wish. It is a large ‘coffee table’ sized book that I read using my lap-tray for comfort. I was soon enthralled by the contents. Written deliberately in newspaper format, the items are eye catching and wonderfully illustrated. From Bible events told as if written by a reporter to recent times - the last date to appear is 2005. Through the centuries we are told and shown, ‘news items’ about Saints, Monks, Crusaders and Pilgrims and many other items of relevant history and archaeological finds. Truly a treasure trove of information brought together in this remarkable publication. I could rave on and on, but far better for you to see it for yourself, it is worth every penny.

Three Down None Across- 80 Bible-based Crosswordsby John Capon Originally published in the Baptist Times The author writes ‘I hope these puzzles will provide you, the reader of this book, with some not-too-demanding mental activity, and if it sends you back to your Bible into the bargain , well, that can’t be bad!’ There are general knowledge questions and anagrams as well as Bible based questions, so sit down and enjoy and learn at the same time. An ideal gift to buy for yourself or to give away. Review by Mary Bartholomew (10/12/08) |

Embracing Change- Spirituality and the Lindisfarne Gospelsby Ewan Clayton, photographs by Robert Cooper This is a book to linger over and ponder upon. Glorious photographs alongside meditational text about the island of Lindisfarne (Holy Island) the life of St Cuthbert and the Lindisfarne Gospels all intermingled with the human journey. Not a book to glance through and enjoy superficially, but one to look at again and again as you are drawn deeper into the marvel and mystery of the Lindisfarne Gospels and their place of origin. The story revolves around St Cuthbert and the Gospels that came to be dedicated to his memory. This lovely book can be purchased from www.cooperphoto.co.uk Review by Mary Bartholomew (17/11/08) |

River Diaryby Ronald Blythe Another compilation of pieces previously published in the Church Times as ‘Word from Wormingford’ – always on the back page, yet the first part of the Church Times I turn to every week. Ronald Blythe’s gentle meditative style, his reminiscences and his descriptions of the countryside around his home - and further afield when he travels, make for very pleasurable reading and re-reading. An essential volume for fans, and as each title in the series ‘stands alone’ an excellent introduction to these pieces for newcomers. Review by Mary Bartholomew (31/07/08) |

The Life That I Haveby Leo Marks Reprinted on 2002 &2006, this illustrated little book is of Leo Marks poem written to his fiancée Ruth after her death in a plane crash. He said that this was the message he had failed to deliver when he had the chance. The heartfelt sentiment has haunted the memories of many since that time when it was written during the war, 1943. Its lilting rhythms go round and round the brain even when the words are elusive. This is a book to treasure, a poem to use as a prayer of praise and thanksgiving to God or a gift to a loved one. Elena Gaussen Marks’ pencil illustrations, portray the mood perfectly. Review by Mary Bartholomew (08/03/08) |
