St Winifred's Well by John
Shaffer
Cold Tree Press
A beautifully designed and conceived book
about the holy well of St Winifred, once known
to everyone as "the Lourdes of Wales".
Shaffer's search began in 2004 in a riverside
park in Hudson, NY when he found a postcard
showing a statue of a saint, "gazing
laconically upriver, in the general direction
of Albany". It took him to Wales, to discover
the story of how in 1904 a family spent much
of their fortune trying to protect the well
from new drainage plans, and ultimately it
took him into the heart of the Halkyn
mountain, to a seemingly bottomless lake, from
which the well springs. For anyone who loves
sacred places, and wants to know the stories
behind and beneath them.

The Jesus Sutras: Rediscovering the lost
religion of Taoist Christianity by Martin Palmer
Ballantine in New York and Piatkus in
London, 2001
This book tells three extraordinary stories.
The first tells of the discovery (using maps
drawn by Japanese spies in the 1930s) of the
first church site in China – built in the
seventh century. The second is a history of
the Church of the East: an ancient and largely
unknown branch of Christian belief that
evolved in Asia. And the third is a new and
moving translation of the “Jesus sutras”
themselves: the beautiful liturgies and
meditations of the Church of the East.
