The Food We Eat herbs in nutrition an anthology
Centenary Edition
by Maria Geuter
This book covers many unusual aspects of our nutrition from considering the temperament of the cook as well as those eating the food, myths and history surrounding herbs, to a practical understanding of how to use different foods and their effect on our being, and health.
The first part is “Herbs in Nutrition”, here Maria gives a wonderful insight into the Being hidden in each of our supposedly ordinary culinary herbs. In the briefest of essays for each herb she manages to paint in words the whole essence of the herb — in myths, history, cultivation, and uses in cooking and healing.
The second part “The Food We Eat”, is a selection of essays that were written during the height of her work at Sunfield Children’s Home, where she was in charge of the catering and kitchen garden. Maria wrote this in response to the many questions she received from parents, friends and colleagues. With titles such as “Why Should we use Herbs”, “The use of Herbs in Cooking”, “The use of Oil in Cooking”, “The Plant a Meditation”, and “The Feeding of the Small Child”, she brings a deep sort of spiritual knowledge into her most practical advice.
Although the first part of the book has been available for many years the second part is published for the first time, for the general public.

This booklet is based on a manuscript prepared by Maria Geuter for a cookery course which with the outbreak of World War II was cancelled at the last minute,it seems by way of compensations she sent the students (young mothers and those catering for young children)a copy of her notes.We had no idea of the existence of these notes until we found them among some papers from a friend.We think there is much beauty and wisdom in here words,and we trust the reader will fi nd it so too.

Review
“This is a delightful book which all parents and teachers of mentally handicapped children should read. Out of her wide experience in a Rudolf Steiner Home-School, the author meets with insight the problems and anxieties of parents whose children are prevented from growing up to be ‘normal’. Far-reaching questions of Karma and reincarnation underlie the basic approach to these children. There is another matter-of-fact approach, when asked why they want to help handicapped children, the teachers reply, ‘Because they are there.’ The book goes straight ahead from this point…
…This little book is a real Christmas story, beginning and ending with Christmas, and giving a glimpse of the way a human being goes -whether or not he is born to be ‘exceptional’ - in striving to bring about the birth of his own individuality.”– Muriel Yalentien 1971 - Anthroposophical Quarterly
How To Help Your Growing Child

Supplement Euthanasia and Rudolf Steiner’s Curative Education
Ursula Grahl was born near Hanover and educated in Berlin. While she was still a child her mother came in contact with Rudolf Steiner’s teaching, and so she grew up with Rudolf Steiner’s ideas though she herself was never a pupil of a Waldorf School. While on a visit to England she discovered Curative Education as inaugurated by Rudolf Steiner and decided there and then to give up all other plans and devote her life to helping afflicted children. Over the years she has worked as a nurse and a class teacher and at the time of writing her books was collaborating in the development of a special colour therapy for mentally handicapped children.

The Church and Rudolf Steiner
by the Venerable A. P. Shepherd dd.
“THE BATTLE FOR THE SPIRIT - The Church and Rudolf Steiner” is an anthology of essays, articles and speeches by the Venerable A. P. Shepherd DD.
Born in Barbados in 1885, and educated at the University of Wales and Jesus College, Oxford, A P Shepherd began his ecclesiastical career as Curate of All Saints Church, Northampton, eventually rising to the position of Canon Emeritus of Worcester, and Vice Dean of the Cathedral, before his death in 1968. During this long and distinguished career, he published several volumes of theology. He also contributed religious articles to the Birmingham Post and gave a series of talks on the BBC.
The pivotal moment in Shepherd’s career came in 1941, when he was introduced to the work of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy. Over the following years, he devoted much time and effort to the propagation of Anthroposophy, or Spiritual Science as it is sometimes known, delivering many lectures and sermons on the subject, and publishing two books on the life and work of Steiner, both of which are still in print - over thirty years later.
In this anthology, the editor gathers examples of Shepherd’s work from a wide variety of sources. The first part of this manuscript contains a selection of his Birmingham Post articles, from the Forties and Fifties, in which he uses the great festivals of the Christian year as a framework for increasing our understanding of ‘The Stairway of Being’ - the lifelong path of Christian pilgrimage. This is followed by a section entitled The Church and Rudolf Steiner, which contains a number of dissertations on Steiner’s Anthroposophical philosophy, and his mission to offer a new pathway to Christ for modern man. These include a lecture that Shepherd delivered to the Anthroposophical Society, under the title The Battle For The Spirit, and an extended essay called Anthroposophy and the Christian Churches.
The third, and final, part of the manuscript comprises five short broadcasts that Shepherd gave on Carrying Life’s Burdens, as part of a series entitled Lift Up Your Heart, first transmitted in 1956. The appendix includes a sermon that he delivered on the occasion of Bishop Mort’s induction, in Worcester Cathedral, in 1952.
