Over 400 major scriptural points in each book, with examples from everyday life, beautifully show the power of the Bible for solving marriage problems and transforming lives.

Reader: Patsy's materials are such a radical divergence from everything else on the market. Imagine going straight to God's word for help and healing in your marriage. What a novel idea!!!!

Understanding how the Bible turns marriages into literal tastes of heaven will thrill you as you learn the Biblical formula for solving every marriage problem.

You'll examine current medical evidence for the physical and mental differences between men and women and see how they apply to Bible verses. At the same time, you'll find your self-esteem growing along with increased respect for the opposite sex.

The verse-by-verse study of the Song of Solomon will delight you as it captures the emotion God put into this wonderful true love story. The chapters deal frankly with the Shulammite maiden's dilemma of who to marry--rich, powerful King Solomon who cares only about her body or the common Shepherd who loves her as a whole person with a mind of her own.

Perhaps best of all, you'll discover tht God put a blessing instead of a curse in subjection as you examine both the husband's and the wife's parts and learn where God tells wives to draw the line.

I'm falling in love all over again! is the most common statement readers make. Your marriage will never be the same!

Thought-provoking study, research, goal-achieving and personal exercises make this series of books ideal for class and personal use and growth. Both men and women love them..

Graphic designer, professor, historian, and author Philip Baxter Meggs (1942-2002) was born in 1942, Meggs began teaching in the Communication Arts and Design Department at Virginia Commonwealth University, chairing the department from 1974 to 1987. In 1983, he published his History of Graphic Design--the book that not only put graphic design in its historical context; it put graphic design on the cultural map.

Before Phil Meggs wrote his seminal book, graphic design was left largely unchronicled. A History of Graphic Design offered designers and students of design a foundation on which to build, a starting point from which to move forward, and a context for graphic design's place in history.

This single work afforded an immediate legitimacy to a field that had, until that moment, been considered more of a trade than a profession. As Steven Heller wrote in PRINT magazine, Meggs "laid more than a groundwork; he built a monument to graphic design's legacy. Now he is an integral part of that legacy."

Meggs: Making Graphic Design History is at once a retrospective of Phil Megg's achievements as a historian, educator, and artist in his own right, a deserved tribute to his lasting influence on the graphic arts, and a loving memoriam written by family, friends, and colleagues who were lucky enough to have known him..

Here is the first major collection of the teachings of Taizan Maezumi Roshi (1931-1995), one of the first Japanese Zen masters to bring Zen to the West and founding abbot of the Zen Center of Los Angeles and Zen Mountain Center in Idyllwild, California. These short, inspiring readings illuminate Zen practice in simple, eloquent language. Topics include zazen and Zen koans, how to appreciate your life as the life of the Buddha, and the essential matter of life and death. Appreciate Your Life conveys Maezumi Roshi's unique spirit and teaching style, as well as his timeless insights into the practice of Zen. Never satisfied with merely conveying ideas, his teisho, the Zen talks he gave weekly and during retreats, evoked personal questions from his students. Maezumi Roshi insisted that his students address these questions in their own lives. As he often said, "Be intimate with your life." The readings are not teachings or instructions in the traditional sense. They are transcriptions of the master's teisho, living presentations of his direct experience of Zen realization. These teisho are crystalline offerings of Zen insight intended to reach beyond the student's intellect to her or his deepest essence..
