A 90-day devotional based on the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Scripture says to . . . be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ . . . (Eph. 5:18b-19). The Lord has given Virginia a gift to write and sing prayers and praises from her heart. The Lord is magnifi ed as she speaks of her Savior, His Word, and how He is the only One who can fi ll the empty cavities of our souls, as she so eloquently says in one of her prayer-songs. She speaks of Jesus unceasing love for her, and of her deep love for Him. She speaks of Jesus holding her hand and never letting go, and her words are fi lled with thanksgiving. I trust that her prayers and songs of the heart will cause all who read or hear her beautiful words to look to the Only One who can give us an eternal song the song of salvation and life everlasting. In Christ, Kathleen Ruckman, writer and friend Kathleen is the author of the following childrens books: The Tiny Book and The Big Book (creation books); Gods Amazing Book (about the Bible); and What Will Heaven Be Like? (to be released Jan. 2010)and other inspirational stories printed in collections and magazines. The scribe has written and so as the Holy Spirit has dictated, the glory of the Lord is celebrated within these pages. Readers of Virginias literary chronicles will dare to grow in ways never before imagined. They will question; they will smile; they will pray; they will exclaim; they will confi rm and most of all, they will soar!!! To GOD be the glory! Minister Eleanor Dennis, The Church of the People, Harlem, New York It is with joy to look forward to Virginias book on praises, prayers and songs. She has an angels touch with words and a singing voice which comes from God. Her presence among us is a blessing as she gives generously of her time, talent and her spirituality. The concerts she has given at Sacred Heart to raise funds for ill parishioners have been such an inspiration. Pat Cashman, Sacristan, Sacred Heart Catholic Church

This book is a compilation of seventy weekly sermons that follow the Lutheran Church Calendar Year. Written by Reverend Eldore F. Messerschmidt over fifty to sixty years ago, the things he discussed in his sermons back then still pertain to what is happening in our world today. Thus the name Yesterday's Sermons for Today's World. This is a great book for the shut-ins who no longer can attend weekly worship services or for the average person who needs a weekly inspirational pick-me-up.

Directors have long been the main figures on Eastern European stages. During the last three decades some of the most outstanding among them have risen to international stardom thanks to their ground-breaking productions that speak to audiences far beyond local borders. Not by chance, a considerable number of these directors have won the second-biggest theatre award on the continent – the European Prize for (New) Theatrical Realities. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the top directors of the region have been pushing contemporary theatre as a whole ahead into new territories. This book offers informative and in-depth portraits of twenty of these directors, written by leading critics, scholars, and researchers, who shed light on the directors’ signature styles with examples of their emblematic productions and outline the reasons for their impact. In addition, in two chapters the selected directors themselves discuss their artistic family trees as well as the main stakes theatre faces today. The book will be of interest to theatre scholars, students, and anybody engaged with theatre on a global scale.

“You can’t be happy all the time. You can’t feel comfortable all the time. You can’t have the feelings you want when you want them for as long as you want them. Life just doesn’t operate like that. Maybe you have tried counseling or therapy or diets or meditation or chemicals or some sort of esoteric magic to work on your feelings, to fix your life or make it perfect. Nothing worked as well as you had hoped. Reading this book won’t solve your life problems either. But it will give you some suggestions that are sensible, practical and doable—suggestions about how to work on your life. Work is the key word here. Sitting and talking with someone is not enough. Venting your feelings is not enough. Putting your mind in some quiet inner place is not enough. Working on your life involves moving your body, doing your life purposefully and constructively. This book offers you concrete assignments for such activity.” Adapting ideas from Japanese psychotherapies and Eastern thought, Constructive Living (CL) offers a sensible way of living. Across cultures and generations, CL ideas make sound, practical sense. Water, Snow, Water presents the current state of CL in its application to the West. Using a variety of materials—including essays, tales, maxims, detailed behavioral advice, case studies—David Reynolds, the founder of CL, presents fresh perspectives on everything from worrying to love, from psychotherapy to death.
