What informed and inspired the visual artists who depicted the Trojan War on vases, on walls, and in sculpture? Scholars have debated this question for years. Were Greek painters simply depicting the stories of Achilles and Odysseus as recounted in Homer's epics? Or did they work independently, following their own traditions without regard to the Iliad, the Odyssey, and other poetry of their time?

Steven Lowenstam offers here an alternative theoretical framework, arguing that Greek artists and poets interacted with each other freely, always aware of what the others were producing. As Trojan War myth was the common inheritance of all Greek storytellers, verbal and visual depictions of heroic myth were not created in isolation but were interdependent responses to a centuries-old tradition.

As Witnessed by Images investigates visual depictions of Achillean and Odyssean myth from ca. 650-300 BCE and traces the many messages that the stories of Achilles and Odysseus inspired. Lowenstam identifies a variety of images and interpretations -- some regarded Achilles as a hero, others believed him to be a cruel bully -- that reflect and directly respond to the ancient heroic tradition from which the Iliad and Odyssey evolved.

NEW EDITION In these dialogues through Tom Carpenter, Jesus, now teaching as the fully awakened Christ, describes our true reality as Spirit, and guides us through questions about the life we now experience, directing us all to the reality of the same Spirit shared by us all.

The practice of real forgiveness has a different purpose than what we have been familiar with. In the most direct and personal way, real forgiveness offers peace to both the giver and the receiver, dealing with the cause of all conflict, stress and fear. Forgiveness opens our mind to a way of thinking and seeing that is not dedicated to finding fault, thus freeing us to see a different world, one reflecting outwardly what we have chosen to experience within our mind's focus. As we each are willing to apply the grace of this practice, our forgiveness can have an increasingly powerful effect on the world of conflict we now perceive, bringing our own restored peace of mind as a Light that offers the same to all we encounter. Ultimately, real forgiveness leads us to the recognition within each of us of a Loving Presence that has never changed, but has been hidden in our awareness behind our present fearful judgments. Tom Carpenter has written this book to inspire the experience of this grace, as well as to help create a forgiveness network for any who wish to help extend this practice to the world. www.theforgivenessmovement.org Comments: "I think your book is starting a wildflower of joy." Richard Buckley "If the intention of this book was to convey the real meaning of forgiveness, it was accomplished " Larry McBride "The Miracle of Real Forgiveness is just what I've been looking for-a comparatively brief statement of what 'A Course in Miracles' is-not as a substitute, but a guiding idea." Jess Smith "I am on page 4 and feel happier already " Suzanne McGregorr "There has never been another book that explains the purpose of forgiveness as well as this book " Joseph Giovannoni. "The Miracle of Forgiveness" is a winner. In fact, I think it may be the absolute best spiritual book I've ever read John Nagy

No. 7-as Carpenter, the youngest of seven children, called himself-was born in Missouri in 1854 and moved west with his family, first to Kansas, then to the settlements near Pikes Peak, and finally, in 1872, to Texas with his elder brother. From the time he made his first cattle drive, he wanted no other life but that of herding longhorns across the free and flat grasslands of the West. His schooling was the trail, the campfire, the saddle. In 1900, after a full and active life, he retired to his own ranch west of the Pecos. As the years passed, he sadly watched the fences go up and the free range disappear. Thus this book came to be written from the longing memory of a time-stranded cowman. He tells his story in the hard-punching, gritty language, direct humor, and attachment to bald fact and frank opinion that characterize the true Westerner. Elton Miles has provided an introduction that fills in the details of Carpenter's life and completes a "vivid picture of the genuine old-time cowman," as Southwest Review observed.
