The Relationship Devotional: 365 Lessons to Love & Learn byAbigail Wilentz Sterling Publishing Company, Inc., 2009 - 392 Seiten Devotionals have long been a mainstay in the lives of millions. The Relationship Devotional is the first to take this popular format into the all-embracing, all-encompassing realm of relationships. It’s an extraordinarily beautiful package, complete with front cover flocking and debossing with four-color tip, adorned with a colorful ribbon. Each week explores a new aspect of our romantic lives, from flirtation and fear of commitment to longing, seduction, and jealousy. And every daily entry examines that theme through a single artistic medium, be it a sonnet, novel, film, opera, TV show, or sculpture. These thought-provoking nuggets, both old and new, go from ancient times right up through Sex and the City. Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus jubilantly celebrates "Love and Beauty.” "May December Romance” looks at real-life couple Bogie and Bacall, while "From Friendship to Love” presents on-screen pair Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) & Paul Varjack (George Peppard) in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. With keen insight or subtle implication, Wilentz interprets the wisdom or lesson readers can glean from each selection. |
