When Jesus told His followers how much we all need God’s love, it was not a theological treatise. Instead, He told a story: There once was a man who had two sons… The simplicity of this famous parable belies some richly profound truths. The story Francis Thompson tells in his classic poem The Hound of Heaven works in exactly this way—stirring our hearts with a yearning we may not fully understand. Something comes through the poem that we cannot quite put our finger on… This book actually contains two versions of the poem, the original and a modern adaptation. Despite the depth and beauty of the poem, it is written in a vernacular difficult to understand. Our rationale for the adaptation of this masterpiece is to reveal its timeless beauty and insights for a broad, modern audience.

“I will make you the greatest living artist in all of England! But you must work very hard at your art, and you must decide between your art and your work with the poor.” This was the choice that John Ruskin, the celebrated Victorian art critic, presented to the young Lilias Trotter. With a storyteller’s eye and ear, Sally Oxley traces the steps that led up to this turning point in Lilias Trotter’s life and the amazing adventure that followed as she turned her back on worldly fame and set out in faith for the mission work in North Africa. Readers young and old will be stirred by the enchanting pictures and lean, moving prose and will come away with a renewed vision of the world and their role in it. Lilias Trotter’s full story can be seen in the documentary film Many Beautiful Things, available at manybeautifulthings.com.
