This is the story of the experiences of Jonathan in the Vietnam War. It is a story of death, violence, pain, and sorrow; of nightmares and disillusions, but it is also a story of God's healing and his message of hope and prosperity.

The Prayer of Jonah--From the Depths of Vietnam Jungles is the story of Jonathan, the Jonah of the modern world, disobeying God's call and finding himself in the belly of the "depths of Vietnam jungles."

After returning from Vietnam, Jonathan, like all the soldiers returning home, was not welcomed by society, especially the hippie movement, calling them "assassins," "baby killers," and all kind of insults.

Jonathan received the call of God for the second time and like Jonah, obeyed the Lord and went to the city to deliver God's message, "a 9-1-1 emergency call" to the great city. He too went in search of his brother, Carlitos, and gave him "a 9-1-1 message" of salvation.

Walter Sickert was one of the most influential artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An apprentice of Whistler and close associate of Degas, he engaged with the work of French artists of the time. Sickert in turn influenced many British painters up to the present day. This book will show how Sickert transformed the representation of everyday life, with his innovative approach to subject matter, radical compositions and the evocation of the materiality of existence in paint. It will explore the changing nature of his work - from an impressionistic approach in the 1880s to a pioneering use of photography in the 1930s - and how he returned over and over to locations and subjects, including his penetrating self-portraits. Sickert's imagination was fuelled by news and current events such as the Camden Town Murders and newspaper photography, but also by popular culture - music halls, the stage, the rise of cinema and celebrity. Featuring over 200 images from the exhibition and a wide range of essays by scholars, as well as reflections on Sickert's relevance and influence by a selection of contemporary painters including Kaye Donachie and Somaya Critchlow.

Sam is a struggling songwriter who becomes a new father and scores a hit record on the very same day. But with opportunity calling he is too exhausted to answer. His passion and creativity have vanished and the steady stream of music that once flowed freely through his mind is now bone dry. In despiration, he answers a cryptic ad and is drawn into an all-encompassing adventure that takes him beyond the fascade of the man-made world to the one nature designed. So begins The Way Back, author and nutritionist Sam Rose's tale of man and Earth that is equal parts rich parable and enriching resource. Rose weaves into his story a treasure trove of self-care and environmental truths that will not only enlighten and save the character Sam, but can serve to set readers on a similarly transforming course toward greater well-being. With the wry and wise guidance of a Native American recluse named Nate, the skeptical Sam reestablishes a connection with planet Earth that forever upends his assumptions about every day life. From food choices to sleep patterns, Sam embarks on a quest for the modern-day Holy Grail: a set of natural laws that forge a path to vibrant health. Based on truths that are as old as time, though long obscured by forces within the man-made world, this new direction quickly informs every meal, every step, even every breath. With Nate as fatherly linchpin, Sam meets a host of dynamic characters that share his newfound reverence of nature. The winsome Heather, a bright nineteen-year-old with a penchant for patchouli oil and tie-dye, sells fruit and vegetables at the Farmer's Market and sings for spare change. Noah, a congenial African American street vendor with uncanny intuition, provides his clientele glimpses into their youthful past, while serving up hot chestnuts and fresh lemonade. The dynamo, Maggie, holds court over her health-food store, a self-avowed labor of love. Al, an ardent United States Senator, is driven to educate everyone on the Earth's precarious ecological state. As Sam comes to understand the inexorable connection between his own health and that of our planet, he uncovers secrets that turn his world inside out, upside-down, and finally, right-side-up again. Rich in gentle humor and age-old wisdom, The Way Back is a stirring, tender-hearted tale of one man's awakening; chock full of eye-opening knowledge for anyone embarking on the journey to better health.

This important new study reevaluates British art writing and the rise of formalism in the visual arts from 1900 to 1939. Taking Roger Fry as his starting point, Sam Rose rethinks how ideas about form influenced modernist culture and the movement’s significance to art history today. In the context of modernism, formalist critics are often thought to be interested in art rather than life, a stance exemplified in their support for abstract works that exclude the world outside. But through careful attention to early twentieth-century connoisseurship, aesthetics, art education, design, and art in colonial Nigeria and India, Rose builds an expanded account of form based on its engagement with the social world. Art and Form thus opens discussions on a range of urgent topics in art writing, from its history and the constructions of high and low culture to the idea of global modernism. Rose demonstrates the true breadth of formalism and shows how it lends a new richness to thought about art and visual culture in the early to mid-twentieth century. Accessibly written and analytically sophisticated, Art and Form opens exciting new paths of inquiry into the meaning and lasting importance of formalism and its ties to modernism. It will be invaluable for scholars and enthusiasts of art history and visual culture.
