Paperback. Condition: New. In an age of distraction, this issue of Plough Quarterly looks at inwardness - how sustainable human community and social activism must be rooted in the spiritual life.How much of your day is spent in reality, and how much in a fake world? We've learned that screen time is bad for you, too much media consumption damages your heart, and Facebook can make you mentally ill. We're aware of the mind-altering power of advertising, the dehumanizing passions of our polarized politics, and the fact that millions of us have learned to multitask while watching footage of refugees drowning.But what are we to do about it? If this fake world is invading our souls, it's in our souls that we must find the cure. Only a return to inwardness can bring distracted moderns back to Jesus and to constructive work for his kingdom.Here activists may object: Isn't it the height of selfishness to retreat into our interior life when we ought to be out saving starving children? Yet Christians through the ages have insisted that inwardness is crucial to the life of discipleship. It's what keeps us from falling for demagogues and false gospels, from wasting life on superficialities, and from ignoring our neighbor. In fact, throughout history it has often been the mystics who were most active in serving others. In true Plough fashion, this issue brings together a colorful cast of examples: from medieval Beguines and Benedictines to Gerard Manley Hopkins, Simone Weil, and Fannie Lou Hamer, to contemporary voices like Robert Cardinal Sarah, Johann Christoph Arnold, and three persecuted Syrian priests. These lives offer us glimpses of the real world from which our fake world seeks to distract us, and can guide us in our own refusal to conform.Also in this issue. Poetry from Gerard Manley Hopkins and Malcolm Guite. Insights on inwardness from Meister Eckhart, Eberhard Arnold, Marguerite Porete, Simone Weil, and Isaac Penington. A forum on the Benedict Option with Rod Dreher, Ross Douthat, Jacqueline C. Rivers, and Randall Gauger. Artwork by Jason Landsel, Bruce Herman, Jane Chapin, Graham Berry, Fra Angelico, Francisco de Zurbarán, Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale, Matthew J. Cutter, John August Swanson, Vittorio Matteo Corcos, and Leon DaboPlough Quarterly features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action. Each issue brings you in-depth articles, interviews, poetry, book reviews, and art to help you put Jesus' message into practice and find common cause with others.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a dramatic bundle of three comedies by Manley Dana published in 1913. The book is a collection of humorous and farcical plays drawing upon influences from notable works like 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and 'The Taming of the Shrew'. The book's most significant play, "Representing Barrett, Cox Co.", tells the story of Jack Carter, a travelling salesman, who finds himself mistaken for a British Duke. Carter plays along with the misunderstanding, hoping to sell his line of omelette tins to the Duke's family. However, he soon finds himself embroiled in a murder mystery and must work to solve the crime before he's exposed as a fake. This book of classic comedies of mistaken identity and romantic entanglements will appeal to lovers of witty and entertaining theater.
