The sudden revelation of a powerful religious calling was an entirely unexpected event in the life of a college student named Lauren. But when it became clear to her that she had a spiritual vocation, she made the exceptional decision to dedicate her life to God. Drawing upon many visits to the cloistered religious community of Dominican nuns in Summit, New Jersey, photographer Toni Greaves has created a luminous body of work that follows the transformative journey by which Lauren became Sister Maria Teresa of the Sacred Heart. Presented in an exquisite photobook volume featuring a luxe cloth case, these meditative photographs capture the radical joy of a life dedicated unequivocally to love.

Radical Love, by Toni Greaves

Review "Toni Greaves's luminous images marry the quotidian with the divine in all sorts of ways: a young novice dribbles a basketball in full habit; a jar of Vick's VapoRub nestles a bottle of holy water; a group portrait of all 19 sisters, whose ages range from 25 to 90, includes Sabina, the golden retriever, splayed flat on the floor" - New York Times

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Prepare to be inspired! By CNemaz My copy of 'Radical Love' arrived and I dropped everything to spend a delicious, indulgent hour reading every word and perusing every photo. Toni Greaves has presented an intimate look at something 99% of the population will never encounter. I am not Catholic, and I've heard the usual banter about nuns in Catholic schools as well as read Karen Armstrong's arduous, short-lived journey down that path. Poring through this book, however, I cannot help but sense an undercurrent of change as modern, 21st Century women heed a call which has proven timeless. Greaves' images (and her words) left me filled with admiration for her subject, for her, and with an overwhelming sense of peace and gratitude for the devotion of these women on behalf of the world.As a documentary photographer myself, I am inspired. As a human being, I am in awe.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. I love these images By Carli Davidson I love these images, I found myself in a moment wanting the sweetness of being surrounded by sisters that comes with being a nun... and I'm as much of a heathen as you can possibly imagine. Really humanizing and haunting. I look forward to contemplating these photos more. Training Fred is a personal favorite.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. An astounding, powerful book By Barbara Ludwig Coleman I'm not a writer so I won't be able to fully give justice to what this book means to me and what emotions it evokes, but being a graphic designer and working with photographers enables me to give you some sense of the power of what I've experienced in reading and viewing it (time and time again I might add; it's that powerful). I've had the distinct pleasure of working with Ms. Greaves on a project for Cleveland Clinic, one of the top five hospitals in the country, and that experience alone wowed me. Toni is beyond a photographer/photo journalist: She was able to capture the acute illness of most of our patients while at the same time being discreet in shooting their sickness and their pain. She also endeared herself to many of the patients I would venture to say due to her truly caring nature. This book, Radical Love, some of whose photos I had the pleasure of seeing before, but most I have not, reminds me of the grace, caring, and fearlessness which Toni brings to her work. It's not just the tonality, the cropping, the in-camera capture of each photo, but the breadth and depth of humanity in pictorially telling the story of Sister Lauren. It brings me to tears and yet I can be laughing several pages further into it. It is a book I do and will treasure for many a year, and I plan on sharing it with my colleagues who also had the pleasure of meeting Toni and being amazed by her work. They will be astounded, as will you.

Ebook PDF Christmas Play: The Story of the Coming of Jesus, for Production in Churches, Using the Text of the English Standard Version of the Bible, by Gary Neal Hansen

Why Gary Neal Hansen’s Christmas Play? Your church wants to put on a pageant this December. You want more than kids as shepherds in bathrobes and tinsel-winged angels. Sure, they’re cute, but you want your congregation to know why the baby Jesus matters. You want to show the real meaning of Christmas: the story of the coming of Christ into the world, Jesus born of Mary, the Son of God. It is easy to go wrong in a play about Christmas. In a heartbeat things can get too sweet, or too preachy, or downright tacky. Despite the best of intentions, plays can even take our attention away from Jesus. Focusing too hard on modern problems like materialism, they can almost forget to show the world-changing story of the coming of Christ. So you fear that your play will aim too low. You fear missing the once-a-year opportunity to help people see and feel the story of how our salvation began to be revealed. Gary Neal Hansen’s Christmas Play tells the whole biblical story of the coming of Jesus in the Bible’s own words. It weaves all the relevant Gospel passages into one seamless drama. This is the story of the Light coming into a world of shadows -- the Light that darkness can never overcome. Gary Neal Hansen is the award-winning author of Kneeling with Giants: Learning to Pray with History’s Best Teachers (InterVarsity, 2012), and Love Your Bible: Finding Your Way to the Presence of God with a 12th Century Monk (Climacus, 2015). He serves as Associate Professor of Church History at the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary.

Christmas Play: The Story of the Coming of Jesus, for Production in Churches, Using the Text of the English Standard Version of the Bible, by Gary Neal Hansen

Review "What you hold in your hand is powerful. Hansen understands that the bells and whistles of Christmas often hide its true message, and so he allows the very words of scripture to irresistibly draw congregation and participants into the dramatic sweep of the story of God breaking into our world as the Christ-child. In Christmas Play, the Living Word becomes embodied and proclaimed, creating a simple, yet powerfully joyful and serious production. Hansen includes excellent stage directions and recommendations to ensure a deeply meaningful and significant Christmas experience. You will find that Christmas Play is a tremendous way to let the wondrous story of Christ's birth transform lives through this unique proclamation of scripture." Mark McIlraith, Ph.D., professional actor, currently Senior Pastor of Moorpark Presbyterian Church, Moorpark CA "Gary Neal Hansen has handed us a gift. Christmas Play is easily staged for full production or can be offered as a reader's theater presentation with script in hand. People of all ages can both enjoy and participate in this refreshingly full-bodied telling of Christmas. Angels, shepherds, prophets, animals, and a holy family; all take the Christmas stage and proclaim the Good, Good News: For unto us a son is born." Lauren McFeaters, professional actress, currently Assoc. Pastor of Nassau Presbyterian Church, Princeton NJ "As a current pastor, and a former actress, I can say with conviction that Gary Neal Hansen's play is a beautifully evocative rendering of the gospel birth narrative. I plan on using this play myself knowing that it will have great impact for congregations and that it will be simple enough for amateurs to perform well." Lesley Abrams, professional actress, currently Pastor of St. John on the Desert Presbyterian Church, Tucson Arizona

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The Big Picture By Amazon Customer If you’re looking for a Christmas play with depth and breadth, its roots planted deep in scripture, you may have found it.Gary Neal Hansen has stretched the boundaries of the traditional pageant, drawing together a variety of New Testament texts and weaving them together to create a harmonious narrative about the coming of Christ.Here are some of the things that stand out about this play:It is biblical.Every word in the play—including the part of the narrator—comes from the New Testament. Gary has chosen the English Standard Version for its dignity and poetry. Although the language is quite formal, it does highlight the beautiful hymns of Luke’s Infancy narrative (the Magnificat, Benedictus, and Nunc Dimittis) which rarely appear in Christmas pageants. I also love that the gospel of John—usually ignored because it does not narrate the birth of Jesus—provides the framework for the whole piece, carrying us from the beginning of all things to the mystery of the incarnation, leaving us to ponder how Christ is present with us now.It is flexible.Most of the speaking parts are done radio-play or readers’ theatre style, with the actors on chairs, reading their parts into a microphone. However, there is plenty of opportunity to flesh out certain scenes with additional actors, sets and costumes, so you won’t have to give up the adorable little sheep and shepherds in bathrobes.It is intergenerational.I love that this play includes characters often omitted from Christmas pageants. Zechariah, Elizabeth, Simeon, Anna, John the Baptist and King Herod all make an appearance alongside Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the shepherds and the magi. Not only does this reflect the biblical narrative more fully, it also creates an opportunity for a truly intergenerational cast to take on the roles of characters both young and old.A few words of warning: the English Standard Version does not use inclusive language, so some directors may wish to make a few editorial changes. Also, the play includes a reference to the massacre of the innocents (the killing of infant boys in Bethlehem at the command of King Herod). While this is presented with sensitivity, and is important to the narrative (it highlights the peril that drives the holy family into Egypt), it may be disturbing to some young children.In his introduction the author notes that harmonizing the different gospel accounts mutes the differences between them (something biblical scholarship takes pains to emphasize). However, he suggests, interweaving the accounts, “reflects the way Christians have remembered these stories down through the centuries.” Sometimes harmonizing different texts produces something truly beautiful. Just ask G.F. Handel.This review is based upon a complimentary copy of the play provided to the reviewer.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Christmas Play will do you – and your church – good. By TMS Biblically faithful and harmoniously arranged in a coherent, logical sequence, this simple adaptation of nativity and incarnation texts from three Gospels (Matthew, Luke, and John) assigns the words of Scripture in a fresh way to various voices and characters. Thus, e.g., we have Herod growling that the darkness not has been able to overcome the light. Wonderful! With this creative approach, Hansen invites congregations to read and hear anew the canonical account of Christ's first advent in a way that will strengthen faith, inspire worship, and provoke delight. Thank you for doing this, Gary. Good for you! And good for the church that performs Christmas Play!

Elegant, Powerful, Accessible, Biblical By Bradley Keyes I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author on the condition that I post an honest review. The four words above are the ones that come most readily to mind after having read this wonderful work. On a first read, one might well think, "What's the big deal? Everything's just copied from Scripture." This is true -- and yet, the gentle, faithful and nuanced way that Hansen has assembled it truly brings the Christmas Story to life in a unique fashion.Elegant -- because the entire script is from the Bible (which is much more concise than most of what's written today), but also because of the thoughtful ways Hansen assigns readings to various characters. Simplicity also comes to mind here. This production clearly highlights the Story (as opposed to stagecraft or acting, e.g.), and the author adds a minimum of direction that, because of its infrequent use, is all the more effective in communicating to the audience.Powerful -- As I read the play and imagine various people reading the parts aloud, the power of this re-telling quickly becomes clear. The entire story is read, but not just by one person. Nor is it shared by a succession of people walking up to the lectern, reading a passage, then leaving to let the next person have their turn. The use of people on a stage to give voice to the actual people in the Story, with minimalist staging, provides a more organic setting for the telling of the Story, one that allows the voices and the narrative to come forth in a uniquely powerful and faithful way. Furthermore, the Christmas Story IS a powerful story in and of itself; where we so often fail is in trying to modify it in some way as to add something that we think is missing, or needs to be emphasized. This production humbly (and refreshingly) refrains from this tack. As a consequence, the audience gets the "original, unedited, unadulterated" story all by itself -- and this allows the Story to fully express its authentic power.Accessible -- Both practically and intellectually. Again, because Hansen has added nothing, one can assume that most people in the audience have already heard most, if not all, of these words before. Neither the audience nor the readers are asked to examine or explore a (possibly disorienting) new "twist" or interpretation. The familiarity and simplicity of the narrative allow the audience to enter into the story with a minimum of preparation. Even for those who have never heard the story, the unadorned biblical narrative is quite simple and free of the distracting "fluff" that is added to so much of what we read and hear today. Practically, this production does not ask from the readers the kinds of theatrical talent that most stage productions do. Any church or faith group, no matter how small, could produce this play, and with far less rehearsal time and stage production that other dramatizations may require.Biblical -- This is probably the production's greatest strength. It uses the English Standard Version (ESV) translation, a relatively new translation, yet one that seeks to be more faithful to the original Greek and Hebrew than many other contemporary translations that attempt to make the scripture more "relevant" or "understandable." I personally think this translation has the least potential for raising concerns (or eyebrows) among any congregation, regardless of their theological bent. And as I wrote above, Hansen has added nothing in the way of his own words or explanations, but rather allows the scripture to stand on its own.In sum, this is a faithful telling of the Christmas Story that allows the powerful Biblical witness to stand on its own. It provides a minimum of voicing and stage direction that, although spare (or perhaps because it is spare), lifts the story out from the lips of a solitary reader or narrator and allows both the readers and the audience to see and hear this event in a way that is fresh, yet never novel. Hansen is to be commended for his gentle, respectful, nuanced and masterful stewardship of this precious and life-giving Story.

Arthur Rackham was a Victorian born illustrator and artist who influenced much of the book and commercial illustration of the first half of the 20th Century. The impish detail of his hundreds of drawings brought humour and dark detail to the fairy stories and classic tales which were popular at the time, from Washington Irving to the Brothers Grimm, Peter Pan to his exquisite work on the Alice in Wonderland. His water-colour work, and the graceful power of his ink and line work influenced the Golden Age illustrators of the 1920s, through to the pulps of Weird Tales, and the comic books of today. Arthur Rackham: Masterpieces of Art is a celebration of this industrious and lively artist.

By Muriel Elaine Wood Very nice little series of compact art books--I already own a couple of their other titles. Very heavy on the illustrations, which are high-quality, crisp and quite colorful. Not overladen with text, but what there is is informative. These volumes make a pretty good introductory tool to the various artists covered and are certainly worth the price.

The first retrospective of the pioneering work of Harry Gruyaert

Born in Antwerp in 1941 and a member of Magnum Photos since 1982, Harry Gruyaert revolutionized creative and experimental uses of color in the 1970s and 1980s. Influenced by cinema and American photographers, his work defined new territory for color photography: an emotive, non-narrative, and boldly graphic way of perceiving the world. In 1972, while living in London, Gruyaert created the striking series TV Shots by turning the dial on a television set at random and photographing the distorted images he saw there. A later series, Made in Belgium, portrays his ambivalent relationship with his homeland in a palette of saturated tones. In his most recent work, he embraces the possibilities of digital photography, taking further creative risks to capture light in new ways. Gruyaert’s images are autonomous, often independent of any context or thematic logic. This volume, the first retrospective of his work, is a superb overview of his personal quest for freedom of expression and the liberation of the senses. 80 color illustrations

Review “While the colors might pull you in, what is happening within the frame of Gruyaert’s photographs stand alone primarily because his intent is to create a narrative within a single image.” (Slate―Behold Photo Blog)“Graphic, charged, documentary-style color photographs. . . . Spans Mr. Gruyaert’s evolution as an artist.” (Lens: The New York Times Photography Blog)“Demonstrates that color can indeed be employed to compose exceptional photographs… Ideal for anyone curious about contemporary photography, photojournalism, and, of course, color photography.” (Library Journal)“Seamless and transporting… Gruyaert is in many ways kin to Garry Winogrand and Lee Friedlander, but he works in bold saturated color… In a world filled with street photographers, these days working mostly in color, Gruyaert's is a singular vision.” (The New York Times Book Review)

About the Author François Hébel is the curator of the Harry Gruyaert show at the Maison Européene de la photographie in April 2015. He has been producer, curator, and author of numerous exhibitions and books.

It reminds me that not all street photography is about getting in someone's face with a camera and flash and freaking them out while you snap their photo. Color, line, geometry and just one great image after another.

It's somber, kind of melancholic - a deep, thick color saturation with a Kodachrome red hangover but one that seems to support his perspective about the human condition. There's a sense that he knows our absurd situation well enough but also sees a beauty in our trying to keep so many balls in the air at once.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Rather mediocre work overall By A photographer Although having been compared to some of my favorite artists like Saul Leiter, Alex Webb, William Eggleston and others due to his use of color, I simply cannot get into Harry Gruyaert's photography. Not that some of it is not impressive, it's just that he seems to change color palettes and techniques too much to produce consistency. Some of the photos here are simply dreadful. His 1972 TV images apparently were praised at the time as being unique yet taking pictures of distorted television images was commonplace among photographers I knew personally during this period. I also did it and, like others, just considered it an exercise rather than serious work. We all tossed out our slides like painters throwing away failed practice drawings. Other images presented here are weak and, in some cases, the colors are so off they make the subjects look ill.There is no doubt Gruyaert has made a successful career from his work so it's hard to criticize his vision. Still, it leaves me unenthusiastic.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Intentional Possibility: A guide to bringing out that inner force within, hidden amid fears and doubts. By Erik Pizana This was an amazing read. I love how all of the examples come together, in order to further illustrate Intentional Possibility.While I was going through the book, I couldn't help stopping here and there in order to ponder what I had just read. In order to take in the wisdom that many people take for granted. There are many things that, in retrospect, should have been obvious for me to realize, but yet I did not, and reading this book seriously opened my eyes. It opened my eyes to seeing the possibility and the power that I have in order to achieve great things, things that only take maybe even "15 minutes" to do, things that make all of the difference. I read this book in one sitting, doing the exercises along the way. By the end, I was not only surprised by how much I had written down, but also by how motivated I felt to do the things I needed to do.What makes this book stand out, however, is that at the end, besides making one feel motivated, it leaves one with an action plan if one followed through with the examples. At the end, I was both motivated and had a a plan I was ready to execute, a plan, that I am sure will be successful, and if not, at least it will get me to leave my comfort zone and feel that adrenaline of doing something new.I know for sure I will be coming back to this book for reference, and to refresh that train of thought that everything is possible, that when we have the intention to accomplish something, we can if we simply act.This book should be a required reading for everyone!

For me, it’s perfect timing. As I prepare to move across country to a new city, this book shows me what I can do upon arrival to connect with others and immediately begin making a positive contribution to my new community. Wow! How about you? How do you experience possibility? Do you wait for it or do you create it? Whether it’s setting up a summer camp for orphans, or coaching kids to learn at lightning speed, or figuring out how to help families dealing with hardship… there is ALWAYS a way to make a difference. And it all begins with what change-maker Sergio Sedas calls “intentional possibility.” Sedas has accomplished a lot, and lucky for us, he has taken notes along the way. Now he invites us, too, to step up—to step INTO the extraordinary possibilities that we ourselves can create. If you were thinking that only great people do great things, think again. Professor Sedas teaches that it’s the DOING that makes us great. So don’t just read this book. Put it into action and spread the word!

On May 17, 1957, Lee Friedlander was given full access to photograph the participants of the Prayer Pilgrimage for Freedom in Washington, DC. This extraordinary event brought together many of the great thinkers and leaders of the civil rights movement and solidified Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. s position as its preeminent leader. The 58 previously unpublished photographs reproduced as duotones in this important and beautifully produced commemorative record are among Friedlander s earliest work. With his full access to the presenters stage, Friedlander was able to portray the famous individuals at the event - Mahalia Jackson, A. Philip Randolph, Harry Belafonte, Ruby Dee among many others - as well as the audience of some 25,000 men, women and children who gathered to give voice and energy to the ideas embattled by the movement. Timed with the three-year anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, the Prayer Pilgrimage placed pressure on the Eisenhower administration to uphold desegregation in the South and made voting rights a focal point of the struggle for equality. Also included in this publication is a facsimile typescript from The King Center of MLK s Give Us the Ballot speech and additional ephemera from the march, including the printed program and the Call to Prayer distributed to participants. The complete (and only existing) set of the 58 prints, acquired by Yale University Art Gallery will be on exhibition at YUAG and other venues in 2017 in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Prayer Pilgrimage.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. The artist as a very young man By B. D. Colen This little book is an absolute must for anyone interested in either Friedlander, a leading 20th century street and art photographer, or in understanding the growth and development of avisual artist. Shot by Friedlander in 1957, when he was only 23 and had barely begun his photographic career, these black and white images of an historic Washington civil rights rally bare only the slightest resemblance to the photographer's later work. That said, these powerful, evocative images of unknown foot soldiers and ultimately beatified leaders of the civil rights struggle, demonstrate that even at an early stage in his artistic development Friedlander had the eye for detail, and compositional ability, that would make him one of the greats. In addition to being of great interest to those who care about photography, this book is a must have for anyone with an interest in the American civil rights movement.

Super Baby Food Cookbook, by Ruth Yaron

About the Author When Ruth Yaron s twin boys were born premature and very sick, she knew the most important thing she could do for them was to feed them the healthiest diet possible. Unhappy with the information that was available to her, Ruth decided to do her own exhaustive research on nutrition and health food. Although she was a whiz at programming satellites for NASA, Ruth was an inexperienced cook. She used dozens of natural cookbooks to learn her way around a kitchen, experimenting with tofu, carob and wheat germ, much to the surprise of friends and family. A determined mother is a great motivator. She utilized her skills, developed writing technical manuals for the everyday reader, to diligently record her research of homemade, mostly organic, whole grain cereals, fruits, and home-cooked vegetables, as well as the best storing and freezing methods. The result was a remarkably easy and complete system of baby food preparation: Super Baby Food. As day follows night, Ruth s fans begged for a full color cookbook to complement their cherished, Super Baby Food. Ruth has answered with the Super Baby Food Cookbook.

The recipes include full color photos, which I always love in a cookbook. It is also much smaller than the original big purple book, which is handy for using in the kitchen and/or taking around with you when on the go.This is kind of like the Cliff's Notes version of the original book. If you want healthy food ideas for your baby and don't need the massive amounts of information in that book, you can get this book and just put it into action.Or if you are like me and love the massive amounts of information but also love photos for recipes, this is a great addition to the Super Baby Food book you already have.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent resource! By Princess Rosebud In the summer of 1981 when my Angel Boy was about four months old and just starting solid foods (in addition to breast milk), I thought seriously about imitating animals who pre-digest their food. I really wish I had had this book back then as there weren't very many resources for moms who wanted to avoid jarred foods. Now that I'm going to be a first time grandma, I gave this book to my daughter-in-law so she can feed my little grandson healthy and nutritious homemade foods right from the beginning!

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good for little ones By mommy This a great book for parents that need recipes for some nutritious food for their babies. I do not have a baby anymore so I gave this book to a family member. It has lots of recipes she can try with her daughter. So far she is pleased with the book.Starting solids is a big milestone for a child and this book give lots of ideas. I was one of those moms who didnt try making my own foods and regret it. My son is so picky now!I recommend this book to parents with little ones

Abilez Tejano music icon, Johnny Hernandez, has written his autobiography titled, THE COTTON PICKER/ AN ODYSSEY which is a must have for all Tejano music fans and historians to own and have. Johnny Hernandez takes you along his personal journey from a little boy growing up in a racist time in Texas, to the early days of Tejano music where he and his brother cleared the path for all artists to follow. His music career follows major events in our country's history, of which he played a part with his talent and music. Johnny Hernandez writes his book in such a way, that as you read, you feel like you are right there along with him through his life of success, hardship, highs and lows, drug addiction and even events during his life where evil and black magic tried to take control of his life as he lived the American dream. He answers the question about the reason for the breakup of Little Joe, Johnny y La Familia and why he chose to never perform again with his brother. Please order your copy today and read for yourself why Johnny Hernandez's autobiography is the best ever written by any artist in our Tejano music industry. He is an inspiration with his. message of "Don't Quit" and "Don't sell yourself short by not trying something new in your life," and "Believe In Yourself Always." Thank you Johnny for sharing your life story with all of us with your book.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. We need more of these as part of our Chicano history! By Stace I just got done reading the autobiography of Chicano music legend (and friend) Johnny Hernandez. Titled The Cottonpicker–An Odyssey, Hernandez takes us through various phases of his life: The kid who worked the cotton fields and went through a racist school system that left him in need of a formal education; the young teen dropout (I prefer pushout) who struggled job to job with a young family; the vocalist of an up-and-coming Chicano music band that made it big nationally and internationally; the successes of his songwriting and La Familia with him at the mic; the trials and tribulations that brought an end to the “Little Joe, Johnny y La Familia” era of the band; and his struggles as a solo act and a person.All of this, along with familiar stories of family love, personal struggles with drugs, alcohol, women, and business, and much more make for a book that was hard to put down. Add some personal successes in overcoming these struggles, and finding success in the radio business, and one can’t help but to feel good that Johnny is still around and thriving.What was the toughest read was Johnny’s depictions of his struggles with his brother. Frankly, I would think this is the part that people wanted to read most because for the longest time, people were too willing to blame Johnny for the “Little Joe/Johnny” break up. Like most band stories, there is much more to the story, and perhaps some bitter pills that we as fans must swallow. It is definitely an entry into musician life that we never experience.Of course, disturbing to me were the challenges Johnny faced as he attempted a solo career after La Familia. Being met with unhelpful promoters, producing and marketing his own albums, and trying to keep a band together aren’t necessarily new stories in music. They are part the overall story of what became of the Tejano market, where (in my opinion) big corporations exploited Tejano music, picked favorites, and left the industry in disarray once the cash wasn’t as lucrative. For Johnny, adding the 800 lb. gorilla that he was no longer a part of the premier TexMex band (La Familia), and one can only imagine Johnny’s struggles.As a fan of Johnny’s for a long time, I followed his solo career. I also noticed his long absence after his “big break” when Capitol EMI signed him, and his next return with various self-produced albums. This book fills in a lot of those gaps that many fans will appreciate.I’ll also say that Johnny putting his story in print isn’t only good for the fans, but it’s good for Chicano history. Seldom has the story of our culture and music been put in print, especially by the people that make the music. I hope this is the first of many more projects put out by some of our graying, yet continuing, Tejano titans. Great job, Johnny!

Hernandez Johnny Hernandez is a Mexican American "Chicano music legend" He and his brother Little Joe, changed the way traditional regional Mexican music was viewed. The Chicano soul filled horn accentuated music, filled the southwest, changed the socio political climate in the late 60tys as their song, "Las Nubes" was the soundtrack for the Farm Worker Movement. This book is about Johnny Hernandez's journey from the fields of Texas to the major rock venues around the country. Johnny tells about the highs and lows of being a true artist and the spiritual journey one has to take to find their true meaning in life. I am a Professor and a Doctor of Mass Media and I could not put the book down. The story is an American Classic and still resonates in my soul. Buy the book and learn some secrets............

Saying these stories are "short" is like saying Alabama summers are "warm".... but this southerner loved it By Goldengate I had expected a collection of short stories, but these are really brief flashes -- most only a page or two. At first I found this really annoying -- the author would reel me in with a catchy headline and a story and then boom! it was over. Dagnabbit as we used to say in the South, I want to sink my teeth into these vignettes, not have them whiz by only for me to turn the page and start another one. However, once I let that go, I got used to the cadence and the pages flew by as I chuckled and remembered when I used to live in the South.Bragg is at his best when he's writing about what is clearly one of his favorite topics, southern food. I was reading this on a Southwest airplane eating a teeny tiny bag of honey peanuts while he described his mama making cornbread: "Later my mama would take the cracklin's and mix them in a skillet of cornmeal and then bake it. As the meal cooked, the essence of the cracklin's would melt through the pone of the bread, and when it was done she would cut it into triangles and serve it with pinto beans and stewed squash and slice Spanish onions and pickled pepper so hot it would blind a baby if he rubbed it on his eyes." I sat in my teeney airplane seat and I didn't know what in the heck pone is but I wanted some of that cornbread "right quick." My mouth watered as I ate my darn peanuts and began to plan my next trip home. And that's where Bragg's artistry lies - just a few sentences and you're there. I won't even repeat his description of a place called "Harold's Barbecue" because if I do both you, dear reader, and me are going to have to go eat something and I've got to finish this review. Also, I loved that he mentioned one of my favorite smoked fish shacks in St. Pete Florida... Ted Peter's. This man knows his food and I think his next book should be a food / travel-log of the South.But it's not all about the food.. it's the cadence, just the way of being in the South that's so unique and seems so strange when I fly back there from (crazy) California and feel the humidity and smell the biscuits. His description of his neighbors pulling together after a big tornado hit his town in Alabama made me wonder if my neighbors out here in California would do the same, I sure hope so. There's no hurt that can't be comforted with a casserole he says and I smile thinking of the countless casseroles that I've eaten in The South.Overall, well-written but a star off because I wanted these to be a little longer so I guess even that's a good sign. Y'all check it out, y'hear?

Indeed, indeed, I felt that sense of place in every story. This man knows how to write, and in his sense he brings us all the goodness, the fun, the ridiculous, the taste, the feel and the food of the South.Do not, whatever you do, read this when you are hungry, planning your next meal, digesting your previous meal, making your food shopping list, or just sitting and reading and minding your own business. The next thing you know you will be up out of your chair, going through the cupboards and the fridge looking for something to tide you over until you can get all the ingredients for that meal that Rick Bragg was just talking about. This is a very dangerous book, and no one who is thinking of or on a diet should read this. In fact, read this on a plane like I did, when the only food available is the blue chips and the attendant looks at you strangely when you ask if there are any more bags. The chapter on Table is all about food. It is my favorite chapter, and I read it twice. He starts with food and drink in New Orleans, snow cones and ends with stories about Grouper sandwiches. The stories in between are much too dangerous to relate at lunchtime. Maybe a big tomato sandwich, tomato fresh from the garden.Stories of rednecks, big storms, football in Alabama, his mother, his brother and his brother's dog Pretty Girl. All of these stories and more are such a treat. The Southern gentility we have all heard about comes peaking through. The people are fun, wise, rich and poor, but they all have heritage and stories to share. Holiday fruit cakes, 'Have Gun Will Travel' , and the Spirit of the South. It is all here, in these stories. Rick Bragg has had a Southern life and he loves to talk about it.Recommended. prisrob 08-09-15

Even if that assessment is a tad overstated it can be safely applied to his relationship with the American South. From his touching memoir of his mother, ‘All Over But the Shoutin’’ to his recent biography of Jerry Lee Lewis, his works have beautifully expressed his undying love affair with the land of his birth.‘My Southern Journey’ continues this love affair with a series of short articles, many reprinted from magazines, that describes, in his unique style, what makes ‘The South’ special. From its food to its music, from the back-country religions to its armadillos, Bragg describes them all and does in that passionately biased way that he has that imbues even the most mundane aspects of life with a quaint charm.As an unrepentant Yankee, I particularly enjoyed his descriptions of how the English language is spoken in the South differs from the rest of the country. Speaking of Thanksgiving, Bragg said ‘When I mentioned that we were having turkey and dressing at my house, my Yankee friends looked confused. You mean, they asked, the stuff you put on salads? It is a miracle we only fought one war.’Perhaps my favorite line from the book is when he describes his attitude towards drinking in general and drinking bourbon in particular. ‘I am not a big drinker, but there has always been something comforting about brown liquor. After one, I always felt like I was covered in a warm quilt. The secret, across my life and my ancestor’s lives, was not to drink seven more, turn the drink into a parachute, and jump off something tall.’Speaking of moderation, I wouldn’t describe the book as ‘sweet’ but after reading it I can almost hear some woman’s voice saying ‘Ain’t that sweet!’ As with most things that are sweet, it’s not always wise to take too much at one sitting. I found that I enjoyed the stories the most when I limited my reading to two or three stories at a time.****Quotations are cited from an advanced reading copy and may not be the same as appears in the final published edition. The review book was based on an advanced reading copy obtained at no cost from the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review. While this does take any ‘not worth what I paid for it’ statements out of my review, it otherwise has no impact on the content of my review.FYI: On a 5-point scale I assign stars based on my assessment of what the book needs in the way of improvements:• 5 Stars – Nothing at all. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.• 4 Stars – It could stand for a few tweaks here and there but it’s pretty good as it is.• 3 Stars – A solid C grade. Some serious rewriting would be needed in order for this book to be considered good or memorable.• 2 Stars – This book needs a lot of work. A good start would be to change the plot, the character development, the writing style and the ending.• 1 Star - The only thing that would improve this book is a good bonfire.
