Excerpt from The Little Stone and the Great Image: Or, Lectures on the Prophecies Symbolized in Nebuchadnezzar's Vision of the Golden Headed Monster Though the prophetic portions of the sacred word have comparatively, both to their relative and absolute importance, been greatly neglected; yet he who should urge pretensions to much that is new in this field of biblical discovery, would probably produce the impression upon the minds of the learned, that his modesty and his sense were in direct proportion. Still though the leading fea tures of prophetic interpretation must necessarily be the same; there are many portions of these writings whose meaning is not sifted and ascertained beyond a doubt; and some which have been supposed to be thus settled, may yet be misunderstood. In selecting among such expositions as lay within his reach, the author need not say that he has exercised his best judgment; and where he could find no explanation satisfactory, in whole or in part, he has endeavoured to elaborate one for himself; not on the one hand, dissenting for dissent's sake; nor, on the other, yielding his own judgment to mere authority. He has generally, (and he supposes always in important matters) acknowledged his indebtedness to other authors; though possibly those extensively acquainted with such writings may find coincidences where there is no acknowledgment. If such cases occur, charity claims the imputation of them to defect of memory, or ih dependence of thought, and not to intention.

So ugly is the monster that he can turn a blue sky to snow and evaporate a pond just by dipping his toe in it. No living thing can stand to be in his presence. But the monster is not ugly on the inside; he's just lonely. So he decides to build some friends out of stone, but even stones can't stand the full force of the monster's smile, and they all shatter - except one. Suggested level: primary.
What if you had a friend that was always with you? A friend that listens quietly, without judging or criticizing. A friend who is solid, lasting, and shares its deep and ancient wisdom freely. You can have such a friend Little Stone. In this seemingly simple book about a seemingly simple object, James Wanless shows us how we can learn from the most primal and ancient of matter stone. Working with this often under-appreciated element, we learn to be grounded, to be powerful, and how to heal ourselves in order to be whole. Tapping into the qualities of stone integrity, simplicity, and solidity we realize these qualities within ourselves, so that we, like the stones, may sustain ourselves in a natural and creative way of life. These precious gifts from the earth teach us to live wholly, fully, and naturally.
"The object of the following poem is, to exhibit, in a concise form, a view of the divine purpose in the creation of man, so far as that purpose is revealed to mankind in the sacred scriptures" -- Preface, page [v].
