Then let us leave the bustle of this earth, And find success in spiritual rebirth. With Christianity falling into desuetude among many Western nations, and the strident voices of rival creeds ringing in our ears, it is comforting to hear the explicitly Christian messages contained in Bishop Paul's latest compilation. Here are over ninety sonnets, introduced by a poetic commentary on the Beatitudes based on St Matthew's Gospel.
