Palm Sunday is upon us!

Imhotep!

Melissa Chen Speaking of looking into the past, the book 'In Defence of Civilisation' by Michael R. J. Bonner is an absolute must-read. To revive the present we must look into our past for the answers lie there in plain sight. reviewcanada.ca/magazine/2023/…

I have just embarked on reading Dr Bonner's 'In Defence of Civilisation'. It is a gripping read with enough facts and opinions to hold you on your seat reading for long hours without noticing it.

READING “In Defence of Civilization” by Michael R. J. Bonner and can’t help wondering if the next great western renaissance will come when future generations unearth original texts of great literature and academic works from before the Woke Era and learn what words really mean.

Dr. Bonner on the island that birthed the first European civilization. How very apt.

It is bizarre to take a break from a book to find that the book's author just liked one of your tweets.
