What would happen if comedy were combined with growing deeper in your faith? You would have a fun devotional for learning more about God. One of America’s top comedians brings his unique style to an unlikely venue—a devotional? Laugh out loud with Rich Praytor as he looks at the humorous side of everyday aspects of life, such as marriage, money or work while discovering something about God and His plan for us.

Just try to keep a straight face when reading Keeping a Journal, Being Too Churchy, Honoring Your Parents and Marriage II. This is a devotional like no other!

Gallery and museum entries are organized geographically and alphabetically by state and city.

A bold book, built of close readings, striking in its range and depth, The Signifying Eye shows Faulkner's art take shape in sweeping arcs of social, labor, and aesthetic history. Beginning with long-unpublished works (his childhood sketches and his hand-drawn and handillustrated play The Marionettes) and early novels (Mosquitoes and Sartoris), working through many major works (The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Sanctuary, Light in August, and Absalom, Absalom!), and including more popular fictions (The Wild Palms and The Unvanquished) and late novels (notably Intruder in the Dust and The Town), The Signifying Eye reveals Faulkner's visual obsessions with artistic creation as his work i...
