Initiate: A Journey Begun by Neil Axtell

In the world of the sound-bite and 10-second attention span, this is your invitation and permission to slow down.

This is a book of non-conformist poetry inspired by the Christian life. Here story telling is not confined to a single page and syntax is not mangled to meet a rhyme scheme. Stanzas flex their length, sentences are split and line breaks are used to slow your reading down.

A book full of pictures and stories filled with characters that have their entrances and exits, who they are is up to you. These stories will not tell you what to think.

Let these stories, musings and pondering seep into your soul and be slow-cooked by your imagination. To become a marvellous rich stew of ideas and emotions.

This is an invitation to become active in the exchange of ideas, not passive.

You are worth the extra seconds.
