Margaret Holmes – författare

There is a simplicity about this book which belies its profundity. It is a practical guide to greater spirituality, based on the life and teachings of Jesus. It recognises the immense power of thought and the benefit of meditative stillness. It also recognises out need for continual appraisal, whereby we acquire new values and increased sensitivity. Still within the Christian framework, it moves back from dogma to the simple words of Jesus, and without abstruse argument, restates His basic teaching for today's reader. For all of us there is one objective -- our growth in being -- and this is our raison d'etre.

That Was Then is a selection of midlife poems about midlife in the mid-1970s and 1980s. Tender, biting, silly, and honest; religion, spiders, adultery, and death all have their moments in That Was Then. Leaving us to wonder What Comes Next?
