Paul calls the Galatian Christians foolish! Having begun in the Spirit, are now being perfected by the flesh (see Galatians 3:1-3). Legalism and religion do not trust in the finished work of Christ and the efficacy of His blood to produce His intended results. Therefore, they always appeal to the flesh, teaching to control people through behavior modification, which make those pastors who yield to this model, not shepherds per se, but mere sin managers. The only force capable of restoring America's local Churches in whatever areas need restoring is the Spirit of God animating the Word of God rightly divided, preached, and taught defining and biblically shaping and motivating the spiritual life of the body of Christ.

The essential idea of the graphic novel, Walk in the Light, is simple. It is that everything in Creation is connected by a force. Many people have grasped and understood this fact, but it has taken the writings of many others in many different fields of study through human history to understand this. Those fields, those disciplines, those sources, include ancient scriptures, the works of mystics and the endeavors of no nonsense scientists who seek to understand the world and universe. It includes the experience of ancient peoples and cultures who have bequeathed us their traditions in what we today refer to as mythology. It includes those thinkers who can study and develop more deeply a better understanding of our universe and our roles in it by using all of these disciplines in an interdisciplinary synthesis.

I believe kids would love to read through this book time and again with fascination. The interesting magical story helps the reader walk through the beautiful art."e; Judge's commentary, Writer's Digest, 12th Annual International Self-Published Book Awards 2005 "e;Celestine and the Magical Geranium is a delightful book for young children. Barbara Sala has provided both text and pictures."e;..... The visual impact is particularly striking. The pictures are vividly coloured, and full of lively activity of many kinds. Children tend to like books with many things to look at. Here we have gardens, birds, animals, and a few people. The birds and animals seem in constant movement as the gardens flourish and the sun and sky peer down on an animated earth. The vitality of all this movement is stimulating."e;Sheila McDonough, PHD, Professor emeritus, author of Gandhi's Responses to Islam and other works. Ms Sala, after some years of creative work on individual canvasses, has decided to venture one step further and to combine the written word with her painting. Through this fusion she gives verbal expression, and opens our eyes and minds, to the hidden meaning of her visual creations. It is a book where magic reigns, where material needs and spiritual aspirations go hand in hand, one complementing and necessitating the other. The heroine Celestine (i.e., the "e;celestial"e; in a blue and white dotted dress - sky and clouds) is the conduit for the appearance in this world of the eternal spirit (the magical geranium). Its development and growth to a mythical size, its downfall and destruction by the mindless masses and its rebirth and multiplication from the one to innumerable smaller flower-spirits all over the island clearly demonstrate the author's faith in the invincibility of the human spirit. In the numerous illustrations the geranium is always surrounded by a plethora of plants, trees, animals and people. The whole is watching, bathed in a kaleidoscopic whirl of bright, enthusiastic colours. Rigas Bertos, PHD, Chairman of the Department of Art History, ret'd., McGill University. "e;Barbara Sala's work has opened my eyes to the sophistication inherent in nave art, and the depth of the symbolism in her paintings. Her story "e;Celestine and the Magical Geranium"e; captivates and beguiles the reader - adult and child together - while subtly offering a lesson to treasure."e;Alcida Boissonnault, mother, grandmother, entrepreneur. What a wonderful book to share with children. Can be linked to science, and moral and religious instructions. Thank you for your wonderful vision"e;. Patrizia Ciccarelli, Vice-Principal and teacher.

This book discusses dream work through the lens of art therapy theory. It is written in a personal voice from a perspective of discovery and curiosity toward the unknown. This territory is metaphorically explored in relationship to geography and landscape. It provides a structural foundation for dreamwork within a relational art therapy approach based on phenomenological and existential world views. Approaches to dreamwork include psychoanalytic theory, depth psychology, gestalt theory and phenomenology. Poetry, theory, and praxis are interwoven, demonstrating the process for creatively exploring dreams and artwork. Dreamer and artist are respected in the journey discovering new horizons and footpaths that might be revealed and encouraged to make and remake their own maps along the way. The intention of this writing is to bring a felt sense of an integrated way of exploring dreams honouring the courage it takes to explore the dream's terrain.
