Joseph Campbell: a Fire in the Mind
the authorized biography
Stephen and Robin Larsen
Joseph Campbell forged an approach to the study of myth and legend that made ancient traditions and beliefs immediate, relevant, and universal. His teachings and literary works, including The Masks of God, have shown that beneath the apparent themes of world mythology lie patters that reveal the ways in which we all may encounter the great mysteries of existence: birth, growth, soul development, and death. Biographers Stephen and Robin Larsen were students and friends of Campbell for more than twenty years. With exclusive access to his personal papers and journals, they weave a rich tapestry of stories and insights that catalogue both his personal and public triumphs.
paperback, 6x9 inches, 636 pages, 2002.

The Arts, An Affectional Ordering of Experience
E. Bruce Glenn, edited by Vera P. Glenn
In an age when entertainment is a multi-billion dollar industry, this book makes an important distinction between art and entertainment. Using poetry as the means to illustrate his points, Glenn explores the role of art in human life. He discusses the external elements of artistic creation, rhythm, imagery, and composition which are connected to the sensual, imaginative, and rational planes of the human mind. He also presents his view of the vital role that art plays in the cultivation of truly human affections.

Countless are Your Children
|
|
|
Countless Are Your Children portrays the life of Helga S. Childs as it unfolds within ... the International General Church in the twentieth century. It is at once an autobiography and a history. It documents the personal stories of many members of the founding generation of the General Church - Helga's and her husband Geoffrey's 19th century forebearers. It reveals the norms and expectations that confronted and shaped Helga's life as a New Church woman, a pastor's wife, and a mother of a large family....
The life of service gave life and took its toll. Helga's honest, well-written self-portrait was brought into being by her daughter Heather's urging and encouragement. It is a testament to their shared courage. Heather's spirit and songs triumphed over her pain and death in her unsuccessful battle with cancer. Helga's deep faith and trust in the leading of the Lord gave her strength to use her grief to shed light on her own person journey within the General Church for our benefit.
