What makes a good yarn? Is it spun with a strong thread running through it, or does it need more than one thread? And how do you know a real yarn from a fake one? Does the difference really matter? After all, as soon as you open this book and start reading it, all the yarns and threads, the short stories and poems, they become yours. You can make of them what you will.Everything in this book comes from the heart. All the stories and poems were written with the hope that they will make you, the reader, smile or laugh, reflect or be moved. Perhaps the poems and stories will even encourage you to think about which yarns and threads you might like to spin as well.

  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    Edward V Bonner

Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

    Las tres cartas que vamos a estudiar en este libro hacen parte (junto con Colosenses, que será estudiada en otro libro) de las Cartas de la Prisión. Este nombre se debe a que Pablo estaba preso en Roma cuando las escribió (Hch. 28:16). A los Efesios y a Filemón el apóstol se considera Prisionero de Cristo Jesús (Ef. 3:1; 4:1; Flm. 1, 9,23), y en la carta a los Filipenses, menci...

Por este motivo, Hechos ocupa un lugar indispensable en el canon bíblico. ¡El libro de los Hechos es un desafío para la iglesia de hoy en día!
