The Age of Bede
This volume contains Bede's Life of Cuthbert and Lives of the Abbots of Wearmouth and Jarrow; Eddiuss's Life of Wilfrid; and the Voyage of St. Brendan.

The Singing Bowl
Malcolm Guites eagerly awaited second poetry collection 'The Singing Bowl' takes is name from the breathtakingly beautiful opening poem, a sonnet which connects poetry and prayer. It includes poems that seek beauty and transfiguration in contemporary life; sonnets inspired by Francis and other outstanding saints; poems centred on love (which might be used at weddings), others on parting and mortality (which might be used at funerals). A further group, Jamming your Machine, searches for the life of the spirit in the midst of the modern era and includes an ode to an iphone.
