A radical re-examination of 2,500 years of European art, deconstructing and demystifying its long history from ancient to present\nHow has art evolved from the pursuit of the ‘ideal’ human form to a black square on a white canvas? Why is a banana duct-taped to a wall worth more on the art market than a beautiful seventeenth-century landscape?\nBy taking art for what it actually is — a piece of stone or wood, a sheet of paper with some lines drawn on it, a painted canvas — this lively and accessible account shows how seemingly meaningless objects can be transformed into celebrated works of art. Breaking with conventional notions of artistic genius, Koenraad Jonckheere explores how stories and emotions give meaning to objects, and why changing historical circumstances result in such shifting opinions over time. Tracing its story from ancient times to present, A New History of Western Art reframes the evolution of European art and radically reshapes our understanding of art history.\nPublished in association with Hannibal Books

The Truth in crisis Volume 3: The Controversy in the Southern Baptist Convention

Hefley Ph.D., James C.

Penny and Tim Giesbrecht naively believed that bad things couldn't happen to good Christians. Until their "perfect" baby began exhibiting such strange behavior that "it seemed the Jeremy we knew had died." Two years of painful tests brought no answers. Then Jeremy was severely burned. As he screamed in pain, his mother cried, "Dear God, where are you?" In her much sought-after book, which was first published in 1988 and re-released in 2005, Penny Giesbrecht explores the feeling a parent in such situations experiences and also Scripture admonitions and teachings about suffering. Dr. Ross Campbell, author of How to Really Love Your Child wrote the foreword.
