Strangely warmed reflections on God, life and bric-�a-brac / [electronic resource] : Andrew Rumsey. - London ; New York : Mowbray, 2010. - 1 online resource (ix, 117 p.) : ill.
Introduction; 1. The lion's share; 2. The other end of the telescope; 3. The last enemy to be destroyed is bric-a-brac; 4. The mild man of Borneo; 5. The sea is his; 6. Feeling the benefit; 7. The rucksack theory; 8. Into the mystic; 9. Then we'll take over the world; 10. Quirk of art; 11. A time of quiet; 12. Aunty nostalgia; 13. Not praying, but sleeping; 14. Down among the dead men; 15. All steamed up; 16. Evandalism; 17. It's trad, dad; 18. The beach; 19. I'm loathin' it; 20. That's the way to do it; 21. When a knight won his spurs; 22. The pigeon of peace; 23. The waiting room
A collection of short pieces designed to be read on the bus or in the bath, as one would a magazine column. Each piece takes a wry look at the world and reflects on the questions of faith that arise from the everyday -- the advertising slogan, the church jumble sale...Drawing on the ingredients of scripture, theology and philosophy, Strangely Warmed aims to make serious doctrinal points with a lightness of touch, offering bite-sized morsels to be enjoyably chewed over, in the hope that this will lead to a deeper reflection on, and appreciation of, Christian faith.
