Hope from Donne's Sickbed


Review by Charles Hoffacker


"[Donne] ... presented with great force and effectiveness the reality of a vast and inescapable God who judges and saves and loves. Like St. Augustine’s Confessions, Donne’s Devotions is a single prayer addressing God again and again. Death is powerful, unavoidable, yes, but God is as well, and far more so." Read the review.

A Masterly Survey



Review by Simon Cotton

Orme does not merely describe buildings, but also the roles of the people "who made the buildings live." This work is "a fine account of the history of cathedrals, from the mists of Roman Britain to today."
