Five Gold Rings - Powerful Influences on Prominent People

An illuminating book that allows some prominent peeple to describe in their own words the 'five golden rings' of influence in the title: The Person, The Book, The Place (and sometimes the time), The Poem and My Philosophy of Life. The result is a stimulating and intriguing volume with contributions from many leading church people including members John Polkinghorne and Michael Perry. The poem that appears most frequently is 'Love Bade Me Welcome' by George Herbert, the person is most frequently the writer's spouse but the book and the place are more varied. `A reflective volume that can be used for spiritual reading.
