{"product_id":"9780826481580","title":"Poetry and Prayer 2006","description":"\u003cp\u003eTowards the end of his distinguished academic career, Richard Griffiths fulfilled a longstanding aspiration by being ordained into the Anglican Church. Since ordination, Griffiths has been in demand as a preacher and speaker to Christian audiences in the UK. Griffiths has therfore written this book for use in the Lenton season. Each of the sections in the book focuses on a poem or part of a poem. Using his skills as a literary critic, Griffiths turns his attention in deeply meditative fashion to the study of Christian poetry as a means of raising the heart, mind and soul to God. The writers to whom we are introduced come from all periods; from the 16th century to the present, and include not only well-known authors such as Henry Vaughan, R.S. Thomas and T.S. Eliot, but also some who may be less familiar - such as Thomas Traherne, Alice Meynell, Francis Thompson, David Gascoyne.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015473774832,"sku":"9780826481580","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780826481580_p0.jpg?v=1763753467","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780826481580","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
