Gleanings Of A Fruitful Harvest

Gleanings, fourth in a collection of inspirational books penned by the author, enhances his success with his other publications. His unique ability to interact with the reader is confirmed with the continuation of his exceptional skill to find inspiration in simple experiences, elegance in the unsophisticated, and hope in the "valley of the shadow of death" as expressed by King Davis in Psalms 23. At 93 years of age with failing health, the author shares his enduring faith in God, the joy he brings to the world, and his wealth of wisdom while resolutely giving the glory to God. As in his other writings, the reader will find joy, sadness, humor, truth, and peace of mind. He leaves a huge footprint in the sands of time as he humbly points his readers toward following the footsteps of our Lord Jesus.

Gleanings is a gathering of hitherto uncollected essays written by Christine Downing during the quarter century since the publication in 1981 of her seminal book, The Goddess: Mythological Images of the Feminine. Many of the essays continue her exploration of Greek goddess traditions and other aspects of Greek mythology. Others grow out of her ongoing involvement with the thought of both Freud and Jung. The interrelationship between polis and psyche, city and soul, is a central theme of several of these papers, including those that focus on the Holocaust. Various facets of lesbian and gay experience are also examined.
