A Heritage Of Hope

Here is proof that the lives of ordinary people can have an extraordinary impact. This book is complied as a literary photo album; the theme is my grandparents, Nick and Ineke Willems. Come and be a part of the Willems’ family for a short while, and allow yourself to be challenged by what you read. Nick and Ineke have literally influenced thousands of people, both directly and indirectly—I hope that, as you read, you become the next person whose life they touch.

Where is hope to be found, not only for this generation but for generations to follow? Global media bombard us with accounts of tragedy and people in desperate circumstances. Too often hope is elusive and our hearts become hardened by our inability to respond to such overwhelming needs. Heritage of Hope: Lives Touched by God’s Transforming Power points to a Redeemer who hears the cries of people in crisis and those seeking direction, intervening with supernatural power. What an affirmation to our faith and hope in a God who is sovereign and cares for His people!

Excerpt from The Heritage of Hope Perchance you may look for a preface, Though why should I, friends, here rehearse The why and the how of my writing, When all is plain told in my verse. The world has its mirth-making authors, And glad would we be were there more; In wit I am sure I'm not trying, But just to heal hearts that are sore. I know if you read every poem You'll find a good moral in each, For never a line of my writing Is told just to please, but to teach. And so, friends, please wait with your verdict Till you have read all, every one Of my verses that here I have sent you; Then lay down the book when you're done And think of this wide world of sorrow, Of suffering, and longing, and pain. Then I fear not your verdict one moment; You know I've not written in vain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Heritage of Colour explores the techniques that can be used to create a wealth of colours from 50 plants, including many that have been in constant use as dyes for over 2000 years. Inspired by the colours on textile fragments from the Iron Age and by the achievements of early dyers, the author describes some of the dyes and methods of the past and considers how they can be adapted for use by today's dyers. The book covers all the basics of natural dyeing and explains in detail how to experiment with local plants, wherever you may live, to produce a wide range of beautiful, rich colours on textile fibres. A Heritage of Colour also includes sections on dyeing with fungi, contact printing on cloth and dyeing multi-coloured fibres and fabrics. The emphasis throughout is on environmentally-friendly methods and on the thrill of personal discovery through practical experience. Follow Jenny's blog on http://www.jennydean.co.uk/
