Books with author Rob Ellis

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Some said it was a musical fish, others that the sounds came from a shell-fish. The sounds seemed stationary, but stopped at intervals. If we suffered torments from mosquitoes in daylight, no language can describe what we endured from them here at night. They came like a legion of devils, a whirlwind of flying needles in countless thousands, and allowed us no truce. But a shift of wind scattered them at last, and a sudden breath of Eolus sent us bounding away from the shore, and the boat skimmed through the water like a slender sea swallow, dipping its bows, then scudding with outstretched wings over the silver-tipped waves. The physical uneasiness of sitting bolt upright now became so absorbing that I had to try and sleep stretched on the top of the cabin. From a half-doze, half-dream, I started and gave such a spring that my companion the steersman only just caught me from going overboard. Poor fellow, he was himself drowned on the return journey by falling from the rigging into the water. A shark must have taken him, for he never rose again. He had an infinitude of quiet humour and old-world stories. After my last escape I tried the top of the luggage, but a stone jar under my shoulder gave way, and I fell through space on...

Thirteen and a half Stepping Stones into the Mystery of God is all about trying to make sense of the word "God" and does so through the experiences in school life of three thirteen-and-and-half year old, teenagers.One is Eric who is already quite religious in a sensible sort-of-way and enjoys most of what he has to do with religion at school and through home; the girl is Lucy for whom anything about God is a new experience and is both curious and attracted by it all, and, thirdly, there is George, who is always called Georgie for he answers to nothing else, and he is not really interested in anything to do with religious things but is not seriously put off by them either. Through what they get up to in school life and what they make of their different experiences, they slowly discover in their own very individual ways, something about the meaning and mystery of God.Why not join them as the fourth member of the group (as long as you yourself are about thirteen and half years old or round-about that age as a young-at-heart) and see what sense you can discover in that most extraordinary little word, God, a word so widely used in such a range of different ways and yet quite hard to understand. Quickly make friends with your new acquaintances and enjoy your exploration into the mystery of God with them. Hopefully all four of you will end up a little more aware of the deeper and exciting meaning of our word, God.
