** Suitable for online learning and study **At its heart, the Oscar and BAFTA-nominated film The Two Popes is not about Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI. It is about two men, who happen to be religious figures, exploring a number of themes that are at the heart of being human, of faith and belief: ‘the journey’, listening, change, mercy, loneliness and love.The Glorious Journey provides an opportunity to watch The Two Popes with such themes in mind; to read, reflect and discuss what we can learn from it about human nature and values.Liam Kelly opens each of the six chapters with a suggestion of a short clip from the film to watch, then provides thought-provoking reflections, including questions to prompt your own response. Each chapter ends with a prayer.The Glorious Journey is designed to be used individually or as part of a regular group discussion. It could be adapted for use as the basis of a seasonal course for Lent or Advent.

This long-awaited volume brings together much of Brian O’Doherty’s most influential writing, including essays on major figures such as Edward Hopper, Mark Rothko, and Andy Warhol, and a substantial follow-up to his iconic Inside the White Cube. New pieces specifically authored for this collection include a meditation on O’Doherty’s various alternate personae—most notably Patrick Ireland—and a reflection on his seminal “Highway to Las Vegas” from 1972, penned after a return visit in 2012. The beautifully written texts, many of which have been unavailable in print, are insightfully introduced by art historian Anne-Marie Bonnet and complemented by forty-five color illustrations of artwork discussed in the essays as well as documentary photographs of O’Doherty and other major art-world figures. Adventurous, original, and essentially O’Doherty, this collection reveals his provocative charm and enduring influence as a public intellectual.

During the school day, I was never able to talk about how I felt because I didn't have the words to express those feelings. The words seemed to be hidden inside of me! Worried William's Hidden Words is a poetry book that allows you to see the words that I kept hidden for so long. For me, poetry is a way to communicate how you feel without talking. Let the words leave the page and talk to you in a new unique way. The words had always been there, yet I felt speechless. Throughout this poetry book, you will read the words that I had kept hidden from an early age until my late thirties. I'm also honoured to share my words with other adults and children who kept their words hidden as well.
