    In John 17, Jesus prayed for the unity of the church. Yet today, we tend to accept disunity as inevitable. In this book, Anthony Burgess calls us to addresses the spiritual and visible unity that Jesus desires for His people. Burgess speaks of how union and communion with Christ and His people are "the life and comfort of believers." Giving careful consideration of what Christian unity should look like, Burgess excels at uncovering common causes of division and promoting means to advance unity among God's people.

    These are Anthony Burgess's candid confessions: he was seduced at the age of nine by an older woman; Little Wilson and Big God moves from Moss Side to Malaya recalling Burgess's time as an education officer in the tropics, his tempestuous first marriage, his struggles with Catholicism and the beginning of his prolific writing life.

    Little Wilson and Big God
  • W.B. Yeats wrote of a poem that he "made it out of a mouthful of air". All literature and indeed language, Burgess argues, is made this way - an oral rather than a visual medium. Burgess goes on to present a survey of the history, development and cross-fertilization of languages.
