''In Abstract Adventure V, straight and curved lines form different geometric shapes. By meticulously arranging these shapes I created a variety of designs. Every intersection creates a corner or angle that makes another shape. Each line influences the next from the first line to the last. It is in the nature of intersecting lines to form patterns within shapes. Overlapping shapes create depth. The lines flow outside the edge of the page so the patterns may continue undistorted. A pattern in an abstract form must stay consistently inconsistent to give the design order and reason. The ever changing patterns are common threads that run through the designs making harmonies that, like strings of musical notes, balance the composition. Harmony in abstract images is created through the slight variation of related shapes.'' - Kendell Bohn This book contains color theories to guide you while coloring outside the box. Colors also create harmonies, discords, patterns and depth. Use these theories to help answer your questions and to bring out the artist in you!

Threads, Knots, Tapestries reveals the way our dreaming expresses and reflects our deep interpersonal and environmental interconnectivity…. Drawing upon her decades of Jungian analytic practice, and many years of pioneering in dream groups, Castleman weaves a rich tapestry of dream threads which shows us how we are dreaming with and for each other. Her method is that of a storyteller telling the stories of people, their dreams, the stories of shamans, the stories of individuals suffering from cancer, love entanglements, and most delightfully, stories which show how dreams are woven together with communal life in other cultures, as well as in our own.

In June, 1979, William H. Jenks delivered the keynote address for the Class of 1954 to the 1,200 alumni and spouses of the multiple reunion classes of the College of the Holy Cross. What was traditional was that the twenty-fifth year class selected the speaker; what was unique was that Jenks had only one year of college before becoming a polio quadriplegic in 1951, never to resume the required curriculum for a baccalaureate degree. 
His message was to become a legendary lesson at Holy Cross; wheelchair bound and the pages of his speech being turned by Rev. John E. Brooks, S.J., President of the College, Jenks said: "I think it's likely I am not the most seriously wounded among us, only the most conspicuously bandaged. Sooner or later every one of us will be made to feel flawed, inadequate, powerless…. [W]hat I continue to learn daily is that there is only one way to put Humpty-Dumpty together again: Let yourself be loved." 
Will's message carries a wisdom which is universally applicable to adults of all faiths. His prescription is clearly rewarding for those afflicted with physically and psychologically crippling illnesses (cancer, arthritis, HIV, depression) as well as for those principally responsible for the care of such disabled individuals (a child with Down syndrome, a spouse with Alzheimer's disease).

A Boy's Book of Daily Thoughts will help the boys in your midst think and perhaps then talk about the ordinary as well as the stressful situations that come up in an average day. Every child needs some coaching on how to handle certain people, certain feelings, and numerous uncomfortable circumstances. Having a book reveal to them that any feeling or difficult experience can be handled and that all situations can be talked over with a parent will reduce the anxiety that's normal to boys, just as it's normal to all of us.

When Sam Jordan was born in 1925, his mother dedicated him to the Lord. As he grew into adulthood, however, Sam had his own ideas, none of them successful, about how to live his life. After many false starts, he received a message from God that he could not ignore, and he found the way clear, both to fulfilling work and, most important, a life focused on salvation and integrity in the Lord. Join the 79 year-old pastor and counselor in his engaging and often humorous reflections on the intersecting influences that have paved the path for his spiritual journey, his family's fascinating history, his mother's profound faith, his parents' economic struggles, and his difficulties as a young husband and father that led Sam to his true calling.
