They are a treasury, however, of his views on the importance of women in eighteenth-century England as examples of how to live the Christian life. Entries in his MS Journal indicate an extremely positive relationship with women who are his coequals in mission and in the Methodist societies, and much of the work depended on them. Furthermore, Charles wrote numerous poems about women, often occasioned by death, which lift up individual women as models for the community at large and the church. The intent of this volume is not to present a historical survey of these women or their historical place per se in the early Methodist movement, rather the primary goal is to discover a literature that helps us to see the values which women had in the early Methodist movement and how those values were acknowledged, recorded, and fostered or encouraged by Charles Wesley, particularly in his poetry. The title, \u003cem\u003eMay She Have a Word with You\u003c\/em\u003e, suggests there is a need today to hear of these women's exemplary words, deeds, and lives as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50388303872273,"sku":"CIN1532648057G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52660517994769,"sku":"NLS9781532648052","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53337513328913,"sku":"NIN9781532648052","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1532648057.jpg?v=1751275960"},{"product_id":"ancient-wisdom-in-modern-verse-book-s-t-kimbrough-9781666785449","title":"Ancient Wisdom in Modern Verse","description":"The wisdom of ancient sages, many of whom predate the Christian era, particularly historians, philosophers, playwrights, and poets of Greece, but also many of the wise early church fathers and mothers continue to be a source of insight into life well lived. This book of poems gleans some of their gems of wisdom and views them through the lens of contemporary language and experience. In addition to the wisdom of early Greek sages, there is here a significant number of quotations from the apostolic fathers and the post-apostolic fathers\/mothers: Justin Martyr, Irenaeus of Lyons, Clement of Alexandria, and Origen. From the so-called Golden Age of Christianity (fourth to eighth centuries) there are comments from Basil (bishop of Caesarea), Gregory (bishop of Nazianzus), Gregory (bishop of Nyssa), Isidore (bishop of Pelusium), and Maximus the Confessor. From the Latin fathers of the same period there are selections from Tertullian, Augustine (bishop of Hippo), and from the Syriac fathers Ephrem the Syrian and Isaac (bishop of Nineveh). From the desert fathers and mothers there are excerpts from Symeon the New Theologian and Amma Theodora. These poetic paraphrases of ancient wisdom are shared with the hope that they are faithful to these servants of knowledge and faith, and that they will continue to enhance life's meaning today.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50399315263761,"sku":"CIN166678544XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51045396185361,"sku":"NIN9781666785449","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135068205329,"sku":"NLS9781666785449","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/166678544X.jpg?v=1751277686"},{"product_id":"global-praise-book-s-t-kimbrough-jr-9781890569877","title":"Global Praise","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50558249599249,"sku":"CIN1890569879VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50765107462417,"sku":"CIN1890569879G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1890569879.jpg?v=1751123540"},{"product_id":"of-death-and-grief-book-s-t-kimbrough-9781532643729","title":"Of Death and Grief","description":"This little book of poems reveals how the author has dealt with the grief that accompanied the death of his wife of fifty-nine years. The poems are a conversation on the journey through the grieving process, which perhaps has no end. Yes, they are permeated with a deep faith that there is more to life than merely living and dying. At the same time, they are honest responses to how painful it is to lose your life partner. Many of the poems are autobiographical: about first encounter, marriage, life and love together, and death. The actual physical occurrence of death can be readily described by physicians, but its emotional and life effect is much more illusory. Without question, these poems are simply one person's response to death and grief. They provide no decisive answers on how to respond to either, but if one's open and honest response can help others address such challenges, so be it. The goal of the author is not to provide steps for the grieving, rather through poetry to share the thoughts of the heart and mind as they grapple with death and grief. He avers that through the very difficult process of grieving, which may never completely end, love alone is the key to healing and renewal. In these piercingly honest poems occasioned by the death of his beloved wife, Sarah, S T Kimbrough, Jr., gives unguarded voice to his grief. This is not easy reading because these poems force us to face not only the death of those we love but our deaths. These are searing poems, but in a strange way they are beautiful. --Stanley Hauerwas, Professor of Theology and Ethics, Divinity School, Durham, North Carolina In these 33 poems by S T Kimbrough, Jr., I found a depth of love, grief, passion, and power that poetry alone can convey. My heart was melted and my resolve to live fully and die well was strengthened. The journey of life and death--grief and loss--is artfully presented. This little volume will bless and benefit many. --Thomas R. Albin, Director of Spiritual Formation and Congregational Life, The Upper Room Ministries, Nashville, Tennessee Kimbrough writes of the reality of the death of his wife in poems that express grief with emotion, tears, and faith. His acknowledgement of the enduring love of God and of his own love for his wife is based on the grace given by God in times of hurt, grief and loss. His poems also tell of the fact that even within 'grief there is hope, ' comfort and assurance of God's presence. --Joyce D. Sohl, Laywomen-in-Residence, Scarritt Bennett Center, Nashville, Tennessee I am moved by Kimbrough's ability to translate the many feelings that go with death and loss into words that he is now sharing with others. I am sure these poems will be a comfort to those who read them. They also model for others the power of writing to access inner strength and wisdom during a time of grieving. --Peggy J.

While the Eastern Church has been the primary harbinger of the doctrine of deification from the patristic era to the present, Charles Wesley's theology illustrates that this emphasis is by no means absent in the West. Though patristic influences on Charles Wesley's thought are primarily through secondary sources such as the writings of Lancelot Andrewes and Richard Hooker, as well as through the influence of his brother John, this volume underscores prominent resonances with the church fathers. The extent of these resonances in Charles's theology as regards participation in the divine nature is so widespread in his writings that they form the matrix of his ideas of salvation, perfection, and holiness, all of which are intimately bound with life lived in and through the Eucharist. If taken seriously, Charles Wesley's ideas on participation in the divine nature will require a rethinking of the role of Wesleyan theology in spiritual formation and in ecumenical conversation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51030757146897,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030759244049,"sku":"NIN9781498201896","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52583668089105,"sku":"NLS9781498201896","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/149820189X.jpg?v=1751117192"},{"product_id":"seagull-lunch-and-other-nature-poems-book-s-t-kimbrough-9781532690662","title":"A Seagull Lunch and Other Nature Poems","description":"Many poems in this book are simple descriptions of the wonders of nature. Some address the tragedy of nature's suffering caused by human thoughtlessness and negligence. Others are a response to the magical change of seasons, a cycle that transforms the colors of the earth's foliage, bringing the advent of animals' change of habitats, along with hurricanes, monsoons, and other storms. From one season to the next, the earth bears fruit, yields crops, and its meadows bloom. Many of the poems are from real-life experience, while others are products of imagination peaked by nature's numerous and precious gifts for enjoyment, sustenance, and preservation. Some of these poems offer words of caution about human carelessness in preserving nature and its wonders. Does one ever pause to consider what it would be like without the advent of autumn, or any other season? Yet, the truth is that in some parts of the world seasons are already disappearing. These poems stress that we cannot stand idly by when there is proven scientific evidence that destructive climate change is a reality: disappearance of some island nations, loss of farm land, steady crumbling of glaciers and ice caps, and the demise of sea life. They plead: Save our planet  These delightful poems are fresh, joyful, and wise. You won't look out your window upon a robin or take a walk in the woods in the same way after an encounter with these poems. --Will Willimon, Professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry, Duke Divinity School, Durham, NC S T Kimbrough, Jr. is a remarkable observer. . . . He also loves to celebrate the unexpected side of nature, the quirky and sometimes comic side of animal behavior. Above all, however, his urge to write nature poetry comes from a passionate desire to counter the effects of climate change, of what he calls in one section 'Nature's Demise.' --Richard Watson, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Durham, UK Like the psalmist, S T praises God and expresses gratitude for the gifts of creation available for the nourishment of body and soul with beautiful descriptions that appeal to all human senses. At the same time he emphasizes the responsibilities of humans in the 'need for rebirth' of God's great gift. --Joyce D.

The responsibility is in the hands of the world's most powerful nations.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51126093840657,"sku":"NIN9781666700848","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52481678541073,"sku":"NLS9781666700848","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1666700843.jpg?v=1751343327"},{"product_id":"becoming-just-book-s-t-kimbrough-jr-9781666750348","title":"Becoming Just","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51142521389329,"sku":"NIN9781666750348","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52455096647953,"sku":"NLS9781666750348","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1666750344.jpg?v=1751310686"},{"product_id":"becoming-just-book-s-t-kimbrough-jr-9781666750331","title":"Becoming Just","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51142523748625,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51142526337297,"sku":"NIN9781666750331","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52455294370065,"sku":"NLS9781666750331","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1666750336.jpg?v=1751310685"},{"product_id":"leo-lou-book-s-t-kimbrough-jr-9781665738507","title":"Leo \u0026 Lou","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51307576885521,"sku":"NIN9781665738507","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52690624020753,"sku":"NLS9781665738507","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1665738502.jpg?v=1751247102"},{"product_id":"global-praise-2-songs-for-worship-and-witness-book-s-t-kimbrough-jr-9781890569228","title":"Global Praise 2: Songs for Worship and Witness","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51330606301457,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51330608857361,"sku":"CIN1890569224VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53617372365073,"sku":"CIN1890569224G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1890569224.jpg?v=1751155573"},{"product_id":"poems-on-civility-book-s-t-kimbrough-jr-9798385251162","title":"Poems on Civility","description":"Although civility may sometimes have been viewed as formal politeness and courtesy in one's speech and behavior, its meaning has become more complex in contemporary society.
