Book excerpt: This collection—erudite, insightful, observant, realistic, empathetic, playful, whimsical, hopeful—teases our knowing in the direction of wholeness, personally and communally. Thank you, Jim, for the gift. Phillip Aspinall, Anglican Archbishop of Brisbane Jim McPherson’s powerful and engaging collection will be a great resource for philosophy and religious studies at both secondary and tertiary levels. You'll want to return again and again because they so beautifully illuminate the philosophical and the sacred. Lana Priebbenow, Fraser Coast Anglican College These poems will meet readers in the midst of their own “going through” experience, because much of this writing comes from Jim’s own “earthquakes”, large and small. His quirky sense of humour reminds us to delight in the joy of every day; the Godbreathed spirit lives between his lines. Liz Smythe, Auckland University of Technology Jim provides a valuable resource for individual and group contemplation, and a gateway into the depths swirling within the sights, thoughts and hopes of what might all too easily seem as mundane and unworthy of further thought. John Fairbrother, Vaughan Park Retreat Centre
