About the Book

These lovingly crafted poems are about people and places, memories and emotions, and the art of poetry which understands the importance of the well-loved pen from which words and metaphors flow. They are also deeply Christian, though never intrusively so...Peter Stiles has a beautifully deft and gentle way with words and rhythms, his poems catching moments and memories - places in time.The Rev Canon Professor David Jasper DD FRSE, Emeritus Professor - University of Glasgow Honorary Professorial Research Fellow The verse of Peter Stiles is like the man himself - gentle, insightful, and full of a wisdom that lingers in your mind for months and years to come. These poems beautifully interweave the life and thinking of C S Lewis, Peter's own experience of suffering and beauty, and the subtle influence of the mountain home to which he loves to retreat. Engaging with these words enables the reader to experience life afresh - with a renewed vision, awake to all the splendour and mystery of life. Dr Mark Stephens, Lecturer in New Testament, Sydney Missionary and Bible College; Research Fellow, Centre for Public Christianity

About the Author :
Dr. Peter Stiles graduated from Macquarie University with a Bachelor of Arts and then a Master of Arts in English Literature. During those years he was pursuing a teaching career in NSW government primary schools (having graduated from Armidale Teachers College, where he won the Poetry Prize). In 1979 he transferred to teaching English in secondary schools, and subsequently became Head of English in two state high schools. He then undertook a Master of Education degree at the University of NSW. After pursuing theological studies at Regent College, Vancouver, in 1987, he decided to undertake a Doctorate in Literature and Theology at the University of Glasgow. On his return from Glasgow, Peter chose to move into the private school sector, where he had executive roles at two leading private schools. Since 2016, Peter has been lecturing at Excelsia College, in Macquarie Park, for several years in the role of Senior Lecturer in Education. Peter's collection of verse, 'Trumped by Grace', was shortlisted for Christian Book of the Year in 2017. His poetry has been published widely in Australia and the United States. He is currently engaged in editing a volume of poetry about the degradation of the natural environment.
