In this collection of letters to her autistic son, Patrick, Elizabeth Matthews describes, with candor and humor, the joys, challenges, and heartaches of raising a special needs child. An inspiring work for all who struggle to understand the presence of the Cross in their lives and a hopeful reminder that God''s plans are infinitely greater than we are able to comprehend.

Character education ideas and activities for the classroom.

In this study of the work of Jorge Guillén (1893-1984), an important twentieth-century Spanish poet, Dr Matthews argues that his vision of the world as an ordered harmonious unity is echoed in the structural symmetry of his work. Close analysis of twelve long poems, forming ideological and structural pillars of the Cántico and Clamor volumes, reveals the intricacies of Guillén''s mimesis of cosmic harmony. The first English translations of the twelve poems appear in an appendix.
