Volume 1 of this life-time collection has a wide variety of quotations on 52 topics. And it is full of quotes that will be of particular interest to writers, speakers, teachers, and anyone else with an inquisitive mind. I am not apologizing for that emphasis, just explaining it. I am, after all, an Anglo male who is older than grass but younger than dirt. And I am a Christian who is also fairly conservative on social issues and politics. So this collection of quotes, my personal stash, naturally leans in that direction. But there are plenty of remarkable ideas here for everyone. My ...

Although she prefers service in Pontius Pilate’s palace to a loveless marriage, Leah is betrothed to a Roman centurion. Before he can have Leah, however, he must go on a secret mission.

Eccentric and reclusive, Emily Dickinson wrote poetry that reflects the richness of her interior world and the peculiar beauty of her inner vision. During her lifetime, her poetry was considered too unusual to be publishable, but after her death in 1885, Dickinson achieved posthumous recognition as one of the great poetic voices of the 19th century. This collection, read by Alexandra O'Karma, includes commentary and some of Dickinson's letters as well as 75 of her over 900 poems, including such favorites as "Because I Could Not Stop for Death," "'Hope' Is the Thing with Feathers," "There Is No Frigate like a Book," and "There's a Certain Slant of Light."

When I think of poetry, I envision the classic works written by great poets of the past—poetry that modern educators often label as ‘elitist’ literature. Such writing may now be primarily found in private schools, especially those that are religious or uphold traditional standards of scholarship and merit. This is a tragedy. Great poetry should not belong solely to a select few; it should be the birthright of all children. Poetry is the language of the soul (consider the Psalms), and since we all possess souls, it is vital for everyone. This statement challenges the spiritual ...

Perhaps the most important book in the Old Testament regarding Man's honor of God. Bringing into perspective the symbiotic relationship between everything that exists, the Book of Psalms offers a window into the minds of its authors regarding their sense of loneliness at times, and also their absolute dependence on and protection of God. The Book of Psalms is considered to be the hymnbook of the Old Testament Jews. The Book has several authors, most notably David, King of Israel, who is credited with writing 73 of the Psalms.
