&#8220;For those seeking the wellspring of creativity, this book, like its predecessor, is a solid gold diving rod.&#8221;--PUBLISHERS WEEKLYPraise for THE ARTIST'S WAY....&#8220;THE ARTIST&#8217;S WAY by Julia Cameron is not exclusively about writing&#8212;it is about discovering and developing the artist within whether a painter, poet, screenwriter or musician&#8212;but it is a lot about writing. If you have always wanted to pursue a creative dream, have always wanted to play and create with words or paints, this book will gently get you started and help you learn all kinds of paying-attention techniques; and that, after all, is what being an artist is all about. It&#8217;s about learning to pay attention.&#8221;--Anne Lamott, Mademoiselle&#160;&#8220;The premise of the book is that creativity and spirituality are the same thing, they come from the same place. And we were created to use this life to express our individuality, and that over the course of a lifetime that gets beaten out of us. [THE ARTIST&#8217;S WAY] helped me put aside my fear and not worry about whether the record would be commercial.&#8221;--Grammy award-winning singer Kathy Mattea&#160;&#8220;Julia Cameron brings creativity and spirituality together with the same kind of step-by-step wisdom that Edgar Cayce encouraged. The result is spiritual creativity as a consistent and nourishing part of daily life.&#8221;--Venture Inward&#160;&#8220;I never knew I was a visual artist until I read Julia Cameron&#8217;s THE ARTIST&#8217;S WAY.&#8221;--Jannene Behl in Artist&#8217;s Magazine&#160;&#8220;Julia Cameron&#8217;s landmark book THE ARTIST&#8217;S WAY helped me figure out who I really was as an adult, not so much as an artist but as a person. And award-winning journalist and poet, Cameron&#8217;s genius is that she doesn&#8217;t tell readers what they should do to achieve or who they should be&#8212;instead she creates a map for readers to start exploring these questions themselves.&#8221;--Michael F. Melcher, Law Practice magazine&#160;&#8220;This is not a self-help book in the normative sense. It is simply a powerful book that can challenge one to move into an entirely different state of personal expression and growth.&#8221;--Nick Maddox, Deland Beacon&#160;&#8220;THE ARTIST&#8217;S WAY (with its companion volume THE ARTIST&#8217;S WAY MORNING PAGES JOURNAL) becomes a friend over time, not just a journal. Like a journal, it provokes spontaneous insights and solutions; beyond journaling, it establishes a process that is interactive and dynamic.&#8221;--Theresa L. Crenshaw, M.D., San Diego Union-Tribune&#160;&#160;&#8220;If you really want to supercharge your writing, I recommend that you get a copy of Julia Cameron&#8217;s book THE ARTIST&#8217;S WAY. I&#8217;m not a big fan of self-help books, but this book has changed my life for the better and restored my previously lagging creativity.&#8221;--Jeffrey Bairstow, Laser Focus World&#160;&#8220;Working with the principle that creative expression is the natural direction of life, Cameron developed a three month program to recover creativity. THE ARTIST&#8217;S WAY shows how to tap into the higher power that connects human creativity and the creative energies of the universe.&#8221;--Mike Gossie, Scottsdale Tribune&#160;&#8220;THE ARTIST&#8217;S WAY is the seminal book on the subject of creativity and an invaluable guide to living the artistic life. Still as vital today&#8212;or perhaps even more so&#8212;than it was when it was first published in 1992, it is a provocative and inspiring work. Updated and expanded, it reframes THE ARTIST&#8217;S WAY for a new century.&#8221;--Branches of Light&#160;&#8220;THE ARTIST&#8217;S WAY has sold over 3 million copies since its publication in 1992. Cameron still teaches it because there is sustained demand for its thoughtful, spiritual approach to unblocking and nurturing creativity. It is, dare we say, timeless.&#8221;--Nancy Colasurdo, FOXBusiness

Advance Praise for Slow Family Living"In a society set on having it all, Slow Family Living points out -- Wait! You already have what you need. All you have to do is slow down and appreciate it. Bernadette Noll&#8217;s book helps us reject the time- and money-wasters we've been sold on, and savor the most golden thing we've got -- time, especially time together."&#8212;Lenore Skenazy, author of Free-Range Kids&#8220;Bernadette Noll has a long track record helping families slow down and find the pace of life that suits them best.

The pauses are integral not only to happiness but to pure unadulterated brilliance.&#8221;&#8212;Gever Tulley, author of 50 Dangerous Things (You Should Let Your Children Do)&#8220;Bernadette Noll, one of my favorite authors, offers essential advice for healthy family living: Slow down and be present with yourself and your loved ones.

All Christian theology must give an account of its relation to Israel and Jewish people or it is not Christian theology. Karl Barth understood this. This wonderful collection of essays by leading Barth scholars takes up what Barth understood and in so doing asks us whether Karl Barth was a Post-Holocaust theologian. Their answer to this question is not first a matter for historical theology, but for what Christian theology must be in this moment and for our time. Indeed we are yet to understand fully how Christian theology has been changed by the Holocaust, and what a Post-Holocaust theology looks like. This text brings us a long way toward envisioning such a theology by exploring Karl Barth as such a theologian.

"Harris…does a good job in summarizing the field and its literature."
—PR Update
"The author astutely blends research from academic journal articles and monographs with the admonishments of how-to books, articles from trade magazines, and stories from the daily newspapers, so that we lose the sense of priority among the sources. This creative integration of academic research reports what the popular press contributes to our organizational behavioral knowledge base."
—Contemporary Psychology
"Thomas E. Harris, in Applied Organizational Communication, earnestly addresses this question by describing organizational communication as a diverse cultural process that is subject to change. He offers what appears to be an upper level undergraduate textbook that is wide-ranging, concrete…Harris accomplishes what he sets out to do.
