Description
Several years ago, Eileen and I, with the help of four friends, produced a scruffy little magazine called 'Small Cords'. It was intended to be a dig in the ribs at the pomposity of religion, and to point out a few glaring differences between cosy tradition and the radical teachings of Jesus. But that was years ago. There are few churches which haven't changed a bit since then, and the 'Small Cords' message is no longer as startling as it once was. So - here we go BEYOND Small Cords, beginning where the scruffy magazine left off, and setting out in the direction of the kingdom of God.
Originally this book was a slim fifty pages which a kind-hearted and long-suffering friend produced by slaving for hours over a hot photocopier. It sold out in no time. We hadn't the cheek to ask for a repeat performance on the copier, so we bought an elderly offset press, sort-of learned to work it, and printed a second volume. Which sold out even more quickly. Then we combined the two into a reasonable book of 144 pages... Since then we've lurched into the 20th century with an XT and put everything on disk. And (now) we've entered the space age, and battled the mysteries of burning and stomping onto a CD-Rom. At our age... Welcome to 'BEYOND SMALL CORDS'. It's an attempt to nudge religious thinking out of its comfortable rut. An attempt to ignore orthodoxy and take what the Bible says literally. An attempt to put the teachings of Jesus first and foremost, rather than in second place. Here you are... We hope you enjoy a good read.
