Pete Rollins is inspired by the fact that all language fails when it comes to describing God. This he says is what nourishes poets & pilgrims alike as they try to capture enact & incarnate truth. Such truth can only be lived
- it cannot be reduced to mere words. From this starting point he revisits the parables of Jesus
- odd & unexpected stories that set hearers & readers spinning off course from what is safe & familiar towards some completely new kind of understanding. Parables are subversive; they never attempt to make faith simplistic. A parable does not primarily provide information about our world. Rather if we allow it to do its work within us it will change our world-breaking it
- & us
- open to wholly new possibilities. In the spirit of Jesus' parables Peter offers some transformative stories of his own.

George Orwell was an inveterate keeper of diaries. The Orwell Diaries" presents eleven of them covering the period 1931-1949 & follows Orwell from his early years as a writer to his last literary notebook. An entry from 1931 tells of a communal shave in the Trafalgar Square fountains while notes from his travels through industrial England show the development of the impassioned social commentator. This same acute power of observation is evident in his diaries from Morocco as well as at home where his domestic diaries chart the progress of his garden & animals with a keen eye; the wartime diaries from descriptions of events overseas to the daily violence closer to home describe astutely his perspective on the politics of both & provide a new & entirely refreshing insight into Orwells character & his great works." ...
