Beschreibung

It is so hard to maintain a sense of balance in today's world. With war and conflict, climate change, famine and flood, how does a person who believes in God and in the Brotherhood/Sisterhood of all life approach these crises? How do we find a point of reference that allows us to make a stand for a more just and caring world? How do we stay sane in a world gone mad? When so many of our former certainties are certain no longer, where can we find a firm rock on which to stand? With so many clamouring for an audience, with so many arguing for this philosophy or that, how do we find a voice that cuts through to the core of all problems, and speaks with love and understanding for all? This book is one such attempt.

Autor

Jonti Marks was born in London and grew up partly in England and partly in Kenya. He was a school teacher for 27 years and worked in Zambia, Kenya and the UK as an English and Drama teacher and also as a Head. He left teaching in 2013 to devote himself to his writing full-time.
Jonti became a Freemason in Nairobi in 1990 and has always been interested in the deeper, spiritual significance of the Craft. His Masonic writings aim to illuminate these hidden depths and to help make Freemasonry relevant, useful and inspiring for Masons and non-Masons alike.
Jonti's non-Masonic writings are largely informed either by his experiences as a teacher or by his life in Kenya - and often by his life as a teacher in Kenya!
Jonti's book,' Teaching from the Heart:100 Meditations for Teachers' follows the format of the Masonic books and offers 100 inspirational messages for teachers, parents, policy makers and educationalists in every sphere who do so much to determine the well-being of our society and the future of the planet. It was written as a parting gift to the profession and is the distillation of a 30-year philosophy of education that appears increasingly important and even urgent in today's moral climate.
'The Bhagavad-Gita in 18 Sonnets' also reflects a lifetime's interest and a deep connection with the spiritual teachings of India. Jonti has been familiar with the Gita for all of his life and was moved to try to capture some of the essence and spirit of this sacred text in a wholly poetic form.
