Michael Simpson (b.1940 Dorset, England) is an artist whose work is characterised by a reduced palette and a distinctive vocabulary of ?Benches?, ?Confessionals? and ?Squints?, three motifs that appear in three separate series of paintings within his oeuvre.00Whilst his apparent subject is the infamy of religious history and the politics of belief, these subjective references provide only a subtext for his principal subject ? the mechanics of painting.00A ?leper squint? is a feature built into the walls of medieval churches which allowed sufferers of leprosy and other ?undesirables? to view sermons while remaining outside. In Simpson?s paintings the squint appears as a rectangular aperture p...

For the first time since 1990, the Kunsthaus Bregenz has exhibited approximately 60 drawings by Richard Serra in a comprehensive presentation of the sculptor's graphic oeuvre. This catalogue, published in conjunction with this historically important exhibition was produced in close cooperation with Richard Serra and presents six work series from nearly two decades of his artistic practice. It contains high-quality, large-format reproductions of all the drawings in this exhibition, in part as foldouts. As a special highlight the large-format Diptychs (1989) were juxtaposed against the artist's most recent work series Solids (2007/08). The work Forged Drawing, which was recently reworked especially for the Kunsthaus Bregenz, as well as the work series Weight and Measure, Rounds, and out-of-rounds all combine to convey the independent power and artistic significance of Richard Serra's graphic work. James Lawrence and Richard Shiff, two art historians and Serra specialists, contribute knowledgeable essays on Serra's graphic work, which is certainly on a par with his sculptures. English and German text.
So, I'm a Christian - Now What? is a book designed for new and immature believers who have never been formally or properly discipled. This book helps the reader define spiritual maturity in a way that creates a realistic objective to pursue thoughout their life. They will be encouraged to naturally develop healthy spiritual disciplines that will provide the foundation for their continued spiritual growth, including serving others and sharing their faith, ultimately leading to discipling others. They will also become better prepared for the many surprises, and the normal struggles of life that so often derail the immature Christian's intimacy with God. The uniqueness of this book is in its frank, converastional style emulating a personal relationship with the reader; as well as the breadth of topics, including uncomfortable issues such as dealing with your past sins, unlearning lies you believe and addressing issues with your church.
