What is a wiseman? What is a prophet? Someone with a strange, unflappable demeanor. Someone who speaks in cryptic koans, words whose meanings take years to unravel. Someone who has confronted death, God, sin, and the immortal soul. Someone unfit for this world, but too brilliant to depart it. Someone--in short--like Keith Richards. Here, at last, the wisdom of this indefatigable man is recorded and set forth. These are his visionary words: "I would rather be a legend than a dead legend." Or "Whatever side I take, I know well that I will be blamed." And--indeed--"I've never had a problem with drugs, only with policemen." Not merely a compendium of wisdom, this book is also a complete guide to the inner workings of a complex and inspired belief system, and the life of a man sanctified by fame. What Would Keith Richards Do reminds us to learn from our mistakes, let our instincts lead us, and above all, do what Keith has done better than anyone--survive.
“It never occurred to me while growing up that art is an industry involving countless jobs, so if this book helps shed light to just one kid that it is a viable career option, then it has done its job, as art is indescribably important!” —Oliver Jeffers, Artist and Illustrator “This book so beautifully explains to kids what goes into making an art exhibition. It’s not just about an artist hanging something on a wall for people to see: it’s so much more lively, layered, and community-driven. Even I learned a ton about what truly goes into a fantastic art show!” —Joy Cho, Author and Founder of Oh Joy! “I wish I’d had this book when I was a kid! I always wanted my art to be in a big museum one day but, growing up in a small town, that just seemed impossible. Making a Great Exhibition is a beautifully illustrated behind-the-scenes peek at exactly how art makes its way from an artist’s mind to the big white walls of a fancy gallery. Turns out, there are a lot of people, with some very cool jobs, who make the magic happen—and any book that shows kids (and parents!) they can grow up to have a career in the arts is okay by me!” —Danielle Krysa, The Jealous Curator An exciting insight into the workings of artists and museums, Making a Great Exhibition is a colorful and playful introduction geared to children ages 3-7 How does an artist make a sculpture or a painting? What tools do they use? What happens to the artwork next? This fun, inside look at the life of an artwork shows the journey of two artists’ work from studio to exhibition. Stopping along the way we meet colorful characters—curators, photographers, shippers, museum visitors, and more! Both illustrator and author were raised in the art world, spending their time in studios, doing homework in museum offices, and going to special openings. They have teamed up to share their experiences and love for this often mysterious world to a young audience. London-based illustrator Rose Blake is best known for her work in A History of Pictures for Children, by David Hockney and Martin Gayford, which has been a worldwide success. Author Doro Globus brings her love for the arts and kids together with this fun journey.

Who doesn't desire to experience a perpetual abundant life? Of course, everyone does! But it would appear that relatively few attain and joyfully maintain it. Why is that? The author offers his heart-felt and scripturally supported reasons for missing out on the inherent blessings embodied in such a life. His greatest desire is for all people to live such an abundant life. It's the Life that Jesus came to provide. After all, he says, we really only have "Just one lifetime", to pursue it with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. Attain it, enjoy it, share it, and be eternally grateful for it. He encourages people of all faiths, or no faith at all, to come along with him on a scriptural journey to spiritual and relational intimacy with God. An incredible journey that he personally took himself, that culminates in an "everyday abundant life". Don't miss out on it. It is yours to experience. In addition, the author believes, a person's "thought life" plays an integral role in experiencing the abundant blessings of God from day to day. He contends, when our "thoughts and subsequent actions", are focused on ourselves, that is, an "I" mentality, not only will our thoughts RUN our life, they will RU "I" N our life. This is Pats' second book of timely encouragement. His first, "The Bottom Line", was a must read book for people of all ages and walks of life. Likewise, this is yet another. Read, heed, and enjoy a constant quickening life that it will bring, in this, your lifetime.
