The landmark text by William Carey sets out the principles of converting natives of foreign lands to Christianity.An Enquiry into the Obligations of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens led directly to the formation of the Baptist Missionary Society, and was to inspire Christian missionaries for generations to follow. The author himself could boast great experience: having amassed oratorical experience during his younger years as a schoolmaster, and as the pastor of Leicester's Harvey Lane Baptist Church. The text contains impassioned arguments which attempt to justify missionary work, followed by a researched history of the practice. Later, Carey discusses charts which measure populations through the world and their religious beliefs. All of these charts are reproduced for this edition, allowing the reader insight into Carey's ambitious approach.

Have a look at the world through the eyes of an artist...viewing it through a prism of art and haiku. Curious and eccentric, this book covers a wide range of subjects from romance to philosophy. It has over 100 haiku and 50 illustrations. It is easy to read with unusual words defined at the bottom of the page. Haiku, is a seventeen syllable Japanese verse form, that began in 17th century Japan. It is a very spontaneous process that distills thoughts and observations down to their essence. You may be inspired to write some of your own. The art in this book is just as spontaneous. Many of the initial sketches were done in coffee houses, then they were finished in the studio. In many cases, the art and haiku have been combined into an illustrated/haiku form. The main purpose of this book is to entertain. So, enjoy. Every time you pick it up, you may find new insights into these poems.
