DETAILS ABOUT THE PACKAGE:

The Spirituality of Art


New from Wood LakeJim Kalnin and Lois Huey-Heck | 160 PP | 8.5" x 9" Paper | List price $39.00 | Centuries ago, we shared a common visual language. The meaning of symbols, colors and patterns were understood by our largely pre-literate population and much of the art was religious and spiritual. Back then, we knew how to "read" the language of the visual. Over time, the written word replaced visuals as the primary communicator. In the transition, we lost familiarity, and then comfort, with the rich world of images. Consequently, many of us have an uneasy relationship with art - especially "new" art. We like some of it, but a lot of it seems confusing, fantastical, or even downright ugly. Why would someone want to paint atrocities, or make pictures that are so chaotic? Why would someone else sculpt beauty or paint challenge? The Spirituality of Art is an invitation to engage these and similar questions. Through stories, quotes and thoughts, it's a guide to deeper enjoyment and appreciation of visual art, the spiritual journey and the connections between the two. This is also a celebration of the richness of art in forms as diverse as cave art, traditional painting, photography, print-making and found-object installation.


The Spirituality of Bread


New from Wood LakeDonna Sinclair | 160 PP | 8.5" x 9" Paper | List price $37.00 | This book is about bread - why we make it, how to make it, what it has to teach us, the memories it gives us. Bread offers connection - as Jesus connected with his friends; as we connect with our children; as Demeter, the goddess of grain, bound herself to her daughter. People of every culture are tied together by the breads they bake. Bread helps us remember who we are and whom we love. Bread gives us calm. It is the opposite of fast food. You cannot make bread in ten minutes and the slow work of kneading and shaping and meditating heals our over-scheduled lives. Bread demands peace; you cannot grow grain in a battlefield. And justice: cheap bread that depends on the loss of the family farm is too bitter to eat. Bread, in fact, rises up out of the past into our fractured postmodern age. When we question all our assumptions and struggle to find a reason for existence, the making of bread gives meaning. You can make your own bread (and memories) with this book; or simply contemplate the wisdom of stories found within as you visit your local bakery or make your morning toast.


The Spirituality of Music


New from Wood LakeJohn Bird | 160 PP | 8.5" x 9" Hardcover | List price $37.00 | Author John Bird invites us to discover how music touches us throughout our lives, from the pulsing rhythms we experience in the womb, to the music that will escort us out of life. In between, Bird shows how music connects us with family and friends and the world of the spirit; how it can express our "authentic voice," both as individuals and as members of particular cultural traditions; how it strengthens and unites us during times of protest, and comforts us during times of loss. He shows how music and word combine to integrate mind and spirit, and how music and movement combine to integrate spirit and body. As with all titles in this series, The Spirituality of Music is beautifully illustrated with full-color photographs throughout. We seek the sublime sweep of violins at the symphony, the mighty roar of a massed choir, or the soaring scream of an electric guitar, to lift us out of our humdrum daily existence.


The Spirituality of Wine


New from Wood LakeTom Harpur | 160 PP | 8.5" x 9" Paper | List price $37.00 | Few things in life can compare with the experience of sitting at a table, enjoying fine food, and taking the time to share a glass of wine. Such moments make us rich beyond compare. They transform our souls and help us vibrate with the sheer joy of being alive. Here is a sweeping look at the deep connection between wine and spirituality from ancient times to today. A feast for the senses, this book overflows with apt quotations, spiritual wisdom, and lavish images. The Spirituality of Wine is a book treasured by wine lovers of every persuasion. Here is a sweeping look at the deep connection between wine and spirituality from ancient times to today.
