“How does one describe a work as rare, as priceless, as this? Nourishment for the malnourished soul. Food for those hungry for beauty. Manna in the postmodern desert. Lembas for sojourners in Mordor. All we need is to taste and see that it is good!” - Joseph Pearce
I recently took a silent retreat at the spectacular Cloisters on the Platte in Nebraska. I was very selective about the books I took along and The Hundredfold made the cut. It did not disappoint! Doctrine, theology and apologetics are essential, but we must not forget the value of poetry, silence and contemplation.
This one did scare me, because it’s a book of poetry. But…….it’s a book! Start with the introduction, and keep going. A magnificent work, both as spiritual reading and as literature.
I don't find the link to your reading the poem... just to a noisy interviewer four years ago. I own your book... but I'd love to hear you read this piece. Am I missing something?
Marsha, Tony's readings from "The Hundredfold" are in our archives here at Word & Song. The link was for people to find out a little bit about the entire poem, but as interviews go, they go. I hope someday that Tony can do a podcast of his own just to talk about what the poem is. It's an entire book of 100 poems all ordered and linked to the time of Christ's ministry. The Hundredfold is the work of many years in the making.

Dear Tony,
Looking forward with great anticipation to having my own copy of THE HUNDREDFOLD!
