Literary Portals to Prayer series William Shakespeare Illuminated by The Message

William Shakespeare... Illuminated by the Messageby Ron Marasco - 120 pages - Paperback bookIn his introduction, Ron Marasco writes of William Shakespeare: "Hidden beneath a surface of what seem to be purely ‘secular’ plays and poetry, is a depth of soul that literary-critics have long called ‘genius,’ but that people of faith would recognize as prayer." Accompanying passages from The Message shine a light on works such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and The Sonnets, to reveal the prayers written into Shakespeare’s plays and hidden in the rafters of his poetry.
