Klein (art history, U. of Missouri, Columbia) surveys the history of Matisse's portraits and their sitters, with attention to the details of the financial transaction or other agreement that caused the painting to be made. An analysis of Matisse's self-portraits is also provided. Klein works chronologically, detailing the artist's developing style, but remains attached to his biography as well, with many quotes about Matisse or his works from contemporary sources.

A brand new look at the extremely beautiful, if underappreciated, later works of one of the most inventive artists of the 20th century Between 1935 and his death at midcentury, Henri Matisse (1869–1954) undertook many decorative projects and commissions. These include mural paintings, stained glass, ceramic tiles, lead crystal pieces, carpets, tapestries, fashion fabrics, and accessories—work that has received no significant treatment until now. By presenting a wealth of new insights and unpublished material, including from the artist’s own correspondence, John Klein, an internationally acclaimed specialist in the art of Matisse, offers a richer and more balanced view of Matisse’s ambitions and achievements in the often-neglected later phases of his career. Matisse designed many of these decorations in the innovative—and widely admired—medium of the paper cut-out, whose function and significance Klein reevaluates. Matisse and Decoration also opens a window onto the revival and promotion, following World War II, of traditional French decorative arts as part of France’s renewed sense of cultural preeminence. For the first time, the idea of the decorative in Matisse’s work and the actual decorations he designed for specific settings are integrated in one account, amounting to an understanding of this modern master’s work that is simultaneously more nuanced and more comprehensive.

From the beginning, books were my first friends. I never felt alone when reading a good book. And, a man alone I have been off and on during my challenging, yet fortuitous life. Many times I've been told that I have a powerful impact story – one that should be told. For years I've resisted telling my story out of fear of either revisiting the scorched earth of my past or being perceived as one who is playing the victim card. Having said that, in truth, at times I even find my story hard to reckon. We all have a story, don't we? Mine is a bit out of the ordinary. This is my story...a love story, if you will – as I love life! Simply put, that's my philosophy. And I love the people in my life. I am blessed. I'm a man of deep faith and guiding principles. This is a story...a victory march highlighting passages of a life well lived – despite insurmountable odds at times. From childhood to adulthood, I'd have good people enter my life, as if a school play where and when the perfect character entered stage left or right, then parted. Unfortunately, evil and misfortune commanded my stage as well, often making me feel powerless and unworthy. Thank God God was in control. God prepared me well to be a life and career coach. In 2003 I published “Your Pathway to Personal Enrichment &amp; Vocational Enlightenment.” The book featured (if not branded) the art of encouragement. I'm fond of telling people I'm not a therapist or a theologian. I am, indeed, The Encourager. I earned that title! As an older gentleman now, without doubt, it will be my legacy. With this book, just as it is my practice when coaching, it's my heart's desire that this book become a “temporary best friend” - to gently nudge you, while reading, allowing your spirit to soar to a better place. A dear friend of mine calls it “adding beauty to the world.” May this book be entertaining and informative as I share some of the “Lessons Learned from the University of Life” (speaking series). Life is an adventure! My adventure is one of exploring and developing my religious beliefs, personal philosophy and guiding principles to live by. It is my expectation, if not mission, dear reader for you to find new learning and spiritual awakening from my story...my victory march of grace and encouragement

During the course of our biblical studies over the last twenty-five years we've discovered several interesting insights into the Hebrew Scriptures. For example, probably very little of what we've included in this publication would have seen the light of day if we hadn't learned a long time ago to approach everything from an Hebraic perspective. No matter how many times we translate it into other languages the Bible is still an Hebraic book, which introduces several important considerations. Undoubtedly the most important would be the Hebraic approach to writing history, recording recommendations, and even laying out God's law. The same basic approach shows up over and over, beginning in Genesis and ending in Revelation. At the same time it's quite simple, involving just two basic things. First, the ancient Hebrews usually began each written series of observations with a short summary that essentially spelled out what was coming next, perhaps to give the reader a "feel" for what the writer wanted to say. This would then be followed by as many details, both broad-based and intricate, as the author felt necessary to convey his full intent. The first and possibly the clearest example of this unique approach occurs in the first few chapters of Genesis. In these passages God Himself provides an overall summary of the original "Days of Creation," followed by a series of details that essentially fill in the blanks by amplifying and clarifying some of the specifics that came before. But again . . . this is only one example of how the Bible itself, in its overall approach and its specific language, conveys the "full story" and provides the reader with the understanding he or she needs to comprehend God's nature, His purposes, and His hopes for the salvation of mankind. So . . . given all that, we hope that the following short, individual insights into the organization, the specific language itself, the history it reveals, and many other considerations will help you more fully understand and more tenderly treasure the Bible yourself. Essentially, we have tried to highlight some of the "Aha!" moments that we've had in our own studies of the Scriptures. We've grouped them into seven different categories: Science and the BibleEnd TimesPersonal Relationships with GodFrom an Hebraic PerspectiveBiblical HistoryHebrew Language and PictographsBiblical Feasts You will find these individual sections more fully introduced in the Table of Contents, so that when you do your own research you'll be able to more quickly find what interests you the most.

Revised 2016 Edition: Despite the sensational nature of its subject, Lost in Translation: Rediscovering the Hebrew Roots of our Faith is written in simple, clear, rational language that relies 100 percent on the Bible as the ultimate authority. The book's authors clear away centuries of confusion surrounding subjects that are seldom addressed in modern sermons and Bible studies. Using the ancient Hebrew language and culture, the authors clarify many of the Bible's so-called "mysteries" and help the reader rediscover many of the foundational truths that have been "lost in translation." Topics include: • Who is the Bride of Messiah? • Is there a difference between covenant and testament? • Israel: Who are they really? • What is the difference between devils, demons, and nephilim? Join us on an exciting adventure to rediscover the treasures still buried within the pages of The Book that reveal the pathway to the heart of God. "A must-read for the church! Providing foundational insights which lead to a greater understanding of God's master plan, this book will open your eyes to scriptural distortions due to the centuries of Greek influence on the church." - Corey Berti, Senior Pastor, Silver Valley Worship Center, ID "I've been a believer for 12 years, and I've read numerous scriptures that didn't make sense. The authors do a tremendous job of explaining the importance of understanding our Hebrew roots which provide context and clarity to the overall theme of God's message. It's like watching TV in black and white and then suddenly seeing it in color. The truth hasn't changed, but it's meaning becomes more vivid." - Jason Carr

Selah Publishing Group

Lost in Translation - The Book of Revelation Through Hebrew Eyes is a worthy follow-up to its predecessor, Rediscovering the Hebrew Roots of Our Faith. This is the second in a three-volume series that will cover the entire book of Revelation in awe-inspiring detail, expounding and expanding on familiar verses in God's Word that have been misunderstood and misconstrued for many years. Or, in some cases, linking together verses and concepts that have been repeatedly overlooked. In this volume the authors explore the first half of Revelation from the perspective they established so clearly in Volume 1 - that of a Hebrew God speaking through a Hebrew believer to an audience that was intimately familiar with the Hebrew language, culture, customs, and concepts that form both the literal and the metaphorical foundation for vast portions of Revelation. *Who are the 144,000, anyway? What will be their true function in the End Times? *Who is the Bride of Messiah? Does that designation automatically include everyone who accepts salvation, no matter when or where? *What does the book of Revelation really tell us about two vastly different and completely separate sequences of events that transpire at one and the same time, in entirely different places yet all as integral parts of the same vast panorama of end-times happenings? How do the Wedding and the Judgments fit together - if they even DO? These are just some of the questions to which you'll find plausible, sensible, biblically sound answers in this volume. Please join us, right now, for another voyage of discovery unlike anything you've embarked on before, even if you've already read volume 1!

The Book of Revelation Through Hebrew Eyes (Lost in Translation, Vol. 2)

Revised 2019 Edition: Lost in Translation - The Book of Revelation: Two Brides Two Destinies is a worthy follow-up to its predecessors, Rediscovering the Hebrew Roots of Our Faith and The Book of Revelation through Hebrew Eyes. This is the final in a three-volume series that covers the entire book of Revelation in awe-inspiring detail, expounding and expanding on familiar verses in God's Word that have been misunderstood and misconstrued for many years. Or, in some cases, linking together verses and concepts that have been repeatedly overlooked. In this volume the authors explore the second half of Revelation from the perspective they established so clearly in Volumes 1 and 2 - that of a Hebrew God speaking through a Hebrew believer to an audience that was intimately familiar with the Hebrew language, culture, customs, and concepts that form both the literal and the metaphorical foundation for vast portions of Revelation. In the process they answer a multitude of important questions, including the following: Whose Bride are you? Can you change sides or are you stuck forever in a relationship you really don't want? What is the ancient framework by which you can identify most of the players? Who or what is the False Messiah? Who or what is the False Prophet? What is the Second Death? Who will experience it? How does it differ from any other death? These are just some of the questions to which you'll find plausible, sensible, biblically sound answers in this volume. Please join us, right now, for another voyage of discovery unlike anything you've embarked on before, even if you've already read the first two volumes! About the Authors: Collectively, John Klein and Adam Spears have studied the Scriptures for more than sixty years. Together they have also taught countless hours of biblical courses, on Hebrew foundations, that bring alive the Holy Scriptures. Their motto, "If you don't know covenant you can't know Scripture!" identifies one of the primary concepts that these two long-term scholars believe underlies the entire Bible, from the first verse in Genesis to the last verse of Revelation. Both authors spend their time studying, writing, teaching, and counseling on full-time schedules. In addition, John is associate leader for House of Covenant, a Messianic congregation in Bend, Oregon, while Adam serves as the congregational leader. Michael Christopher is a writer/editor and a long-term veteran of the publishing industry. He has worked with dozens of authors, both famous and unknown, to produce religious and secular books of many different kinds. But he has never enjoyed any book project as much as this three-volume series, nor has he ever learned as much in the process.
