Sir George Hay fu un vescovo cattolico romano in Scozia, celebrato per i suoi contributi come scrittore religioso. Il suo influente ciclo di opere sulla dottrina cattolica, che comprende titoli come The Sincere Christian, The Devout Christian e The Pious Christian, gli procurò grande fama. Gli scritti di Hay sono caratterizzati dalla loro chiarezza e profondità, con l'obiettivo di spiegare sistematicamente la fede e incoraggiare la devozione. La sua opera continua ad essere una preziosa risorsa per la comprensione della dottrina cattolica e per la promozione della vita spirituale.

Pravda o spáse je taká, že cesta k nej môže byť ťažká i ľahká. Azda najťažšie
sa k nej dostane, kto je ako otrok svojich vášní pripútaný k pôžitkom tohto
sveta a ponorený do zmyselných, telesných rozkoší. S ľahkosťou ju, naopak,
získa, kto pozná jej hodnotu a upína sa na Boha a jeho večné dobrá. Knižočka,
ktorej autorom je škótsky biskup George Hay (1729 – 1811), významná postava
Katolíckej cirkvi, nás upriamuje na najvznešenejší cieľ nášho života: večnú
spásu našej duše. Predstavuje nám jej troch úhlavných nepriateľov – telo, svet
a diabla –, aby sme ich rozpoznali vo svojom živote a vyhli sa ich nástrahám.

Stephen Crisp (Cover illustrator) George Hay (Introduction) Mr. Barnstaple was ever such a careful driver, careful to indicate before every manoeuvre and very much in favour of slowing down at the slightest hint of difficulty. So however could he have got the car into a skid on a bend on the Maidenhead road? When he recovered himself he was more than a little relieved to see the two cars that he had been following still merrily motoring along in front of him. It seemed that all was well -- except that the scenery had changed, rather a lot. It was then that the awful truth dawned: Mr Barnstaple had been hurled into another world altogether. How would he ever survive in this supposed Utopia and, more importantly, how would he ever get back?
