Jim Mc Phersons powerful and engaging collection will be a great resource for
philosophy and religious studies at both secondary and tertiary levels. You’ll want to
return again and again because they so beautifully illuminate the philosophical and
the sacred.
Lana Priebbenow, Fraser Coast Anglican College
These poems will meet readers in the midst of their own going through experience,
because much of this writing comes from Jims own earthquakes, large and small.
His quirky sense of humour reminds us to delight in the joy of every day; the Godbreathed spirit lives between his lines.
Liz Smythe, Auckland University of Technology
Jim provides a valuable resource for individual and group contemplation, and a
gateway into the depths swirling within the sights, thoughts and hopes of what might
all too easily seem as mundane and unworthy of further thought.
John Fairbrother, Vaughan Park Retreat Centre
