John Galsworthy was born at Kingston Upon Thames in Surrey, England, on August 14th 1867 to a wealthy and well established family. His schooling was at Harrow and New College, Oxford before training as a barrister and being called to the bar in 1890. However, Law was not attractive to him and he travelled abroad becoming great friends with the novelist Joseph Conrad, then a first mate on a sailing ship. Galsworthy first published in 1897 with a collection of short stories entitled The Four Winds. For the next 7 years he published these and all works under his pen name John Sinjohn. It was only upon the death of his father and the publication of The Island Pharisees in 1904 that he published as John Galsworthy. His first play, The Silver Box in 1906 was a success and was followed by The Man of Property later that same year and was the first in the Forsyte trilogy. Whilst today he is far more well know as a Nobel Prize winning novelist then he was considered a playwright dealing with social issues and the class system. He is now far better known for his novels, particularly The Forsyte Saga, his trilogy about the eponymous family of the same name. These books, as with many of his other works, deal with social class, upper-middle class lives in particular. Although always sympathetic to his characters, he reveals their insular, snobbish, and somewhat greedy attitudes and suffocating moral codes. He is now viewed as one of the first from the Edwardian era to challenge some of the ideals of society depicted in the literature of Victorian England. He was appointed to the Order of Merit in 1929, after earlier turning down a knighthood, and awarded the Nobel Prize in 1932 though he was too ill to attend. John Galsworthy died from a brain tumour at his London home, Grove Lodge, Hampstead on January 31st 1933. In accordance with his will he was cremated at Woking with his ashes then being scattered over the South Downs from an aeroplane. This item ships from multiple locations.

Dimensions: 8.0in. x 4.9in. x 0.2in.The prayers contained in this book have been credited with causing people to view prayer in a new and different way. They have been described as graphic, heartfelt, outside the box, pictorial, colorful, rather offbeat, and prayers that stay with you in the everydayness of life, not just on Sundays. These unique prayers, published here for the first time, were developed for personal devotion as well. Heres one example from the book: With so much for which to be thankful, how can we merely turn inward It is as if we are on the Atkins Diet or the South Beach Diet spiritually - changing from low card to low prayer, losing contact and relationship with You - like we didnt get the memo. (Jan. 18, 2004) In addition to the prayers themselves, there are several helpful suggestions from the author, who has over 50 years experience in the ministry, on the preparation of meaningful and attention-getting prayers.
