Christmas with John Donne

Christmas with John Donne

A pilgrimage to the Manger through the sacred poetry and sermon excerpts of John Donne, the greatest of the Metaphysical Poets and England’s most erudite and popular preacher of his day. From the Introduction: "Donne found solidity in the event in which vulnerability was chosen by the Strong, and dependence by the self-existing, for love’s sake: in the Incarnation, he found paradox aplenty to provide mete fodder for his muse; to spark a fire of wit." Fr Tim Clayton has curated selected poems and sermon excerpts. “Fr Tim’s book is a warm glass of wine, well-spiced and ready to comfort those of us who feel increasingly chilled by the mad salesmanship of the modern-day Christmas.” (Alex Miller, author of the poetry collection A Bow from My Shadow ) 10% of profits go to international relief and development work.
