The Book, The Burial, by R. Penman Smith is available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and directly from Tate Publishing. The Burial is a Spiritual Thriller with a dark twist and a redemptive outcome. The story springs out personal experience; ‘write what you know about’. Those who are comfortable with fantasy and are not afraid of the reality of the spiritual warfare inherent in Christian life will love this book.

SecularSacred and Nonsense

Imagination is the faculty through which we discover the world around us, both the world we see, and that other unseen world that hovers on the fringe of sight. Love, joy and laughter, poetry and prose, are the gifts through which we approach that complex world. Through the gift of imagination we have stepped into an ever flowing river where the realm of Faerie touches Middle Earth.

Don't Look a Winged Horse in the Mouth


What is the dividing line between fantasy and imagination and the realm of spiritual gifts, the charisms, particularly the charisms of prophecy, the discerning of angels and demons, and the gift of knowledge of things hitherto unrevealed except in the realm of the Spirit?  The same Spirit that hovers over creation hovers over all creativity whether in the realm of faerie or the realm of the charisms of the Christ within the Church.  Do not look a winged horse in the mouth, the two realms are one.
