A Patriot for Me shows how a young, able and ambitious officer of the Imperial and Royal Army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was, through his homesexuality, blackmailed into becoming a spy for Tsarist Russia. When John Osborne wrote A Patriot for Me it was not licensed for public performance by the Lord Chamberlain. In July 1965 the Royal Court Theatre, London, had to be converted into a club for the first production to take place. This volume contains a list of the cuts and alterations requested by the Lord Chamberlain - to which Osborne refused to agree. The play was revived by the Royal Shakespeare Company on the Barbican stage in October 1995.

This book is an introduction to contemporary Christianity for serious seekers, young and old, who desire a better understanding of the unique character of the Christian tradition. It is a book that illuminates the deep bond that exists between the inner life of the soul, a contemplative lifestyle, and the traditional teachings or doctrines of Christianity. The spiritual hunger in the midst of modern materialism has prompted many seekers to turn Eastward to Zen, Transcendental Meditation and other Vedic practices. The rich inner experience that meditation practice provides can also be found by reclaiming the mystical and contemplative heritage of Christianity and by recognizing the contemplative aspects of life found in all great religions. Father Keating believes that Christianity and the religions. Father Keating believes that Christianity and the religions of the East can enrich each other and together can help heal the modern split between rational belief and spiritual experience.
