The Power: My Autobiography

Eric Bristow, Phil the Power Taylor, Ronnie O'Sullivan and Steve Davis might have something to say about this too. And don't tell me they're not athletes. I bet Messi couldn't hit a treble 19 after 6 pints or casually knock in a 147 in 5 minutes

The Works Of George Herbert In Prose And Verse ...: Prose

George Herbert
Capel LofftCapel Lofft

Nearly finished 'Touching Cloth' by @_F_B_G_. Am enjoying it immensely. Stands very much in that Anglican tradition of seeing God in the mundane and everyday: a sort of raucous modern prose version of George Herbert saying: 'Teach me, my God and King, In all things Thee to see'

@dcsandbrook The 1650s are the best advertisement for strong monarchical rule I know, so don't worry about that. And King Solomon's Mines sounds tremendous, I love Rider Haggard

Good idea. I recommend Jeremy Taylor's 'Holy Dying' and John Donne's 'Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions', plus his sermon 'Death's Duel' https://t.co/162kPonSnX

Going to soothe away the rage in the only way I know how at lunchtime: reading 17th century devotional poetry. You know what my idea of 'self-care' is, young 'uns? The work of George Herbert, Henry Vaughan, Thomas Traherne and Richard Crashaw.

Letters: Collected and Edited by George Birkbeck Hill. Vol. 2

Samuel Johnson
Capel LofftCapel Lofft

Today Anglicans commemorate Dr Samuel Johnson, man of letters, moralist and staunch High Churchman. His essays are a masterclass in sober Christian piety, and, despite his cantankerous reputation, he opposed slavery and took in an ex-slave to whom he left a £70 annuity https://t.co/E1KxFamEIL
