A MONK'S GUIDE TO COVID-19
Although there are many negative and tragic consequences of the present COVID-19 pandemic, there are also many unexpected benefits. Now that we are working from home, we have opportunities to see our immediate families more during lunch breaks, snack time, and quick trips to the loo. We also have fewer distractions and more time on my hands. There’s no commute to work, no digressive chats by the water cooler, no hunting down staplers or office supplies, no neckties or polished dress shoes. Even after work, we have more time: stadiums, theatres, museums, malls have all been shuttered. What to do with the time given to us?

All Things New: Essays on Christianity, culture and the arts
ALL THINGS NEW: This is a collection of essays on Christianity, culture and the arts, which focuses on art & creativity, the artist's call, literature, music, cinema and faith & culture. The idea of the essays is to engage Christians to think through how their faith impacts their interaction and involvement with arts & culture, specifically in seeing the value of the imagination, the enrichment creativity brings to all of society and the delight the arts bring to daily life. Now available from Amazon in paperback or Kindle ebook.
