  HALLOW'S PRAY40 LENT BOOK CHALLENGE PICK!The Brothers Karamazov is widely recognized as one of the greatest novels ever written. Its power lies not in the drama between the brothers, the intrigue of its murder mystery, or the suspense of its courtroom finale, but in the questions at its heart: Is God real? And if He is, then what does that mean for me?At its core, it is a story of fathers and sons—of a father’s sins and the brokenness of his children, each struggling with who God is and what they owe to one another. Dmitri’s reckless passion mirrors his father’s corruption, Ivan’s cold rationalism rebels against it, and Alyosha’s tender compassion reflects the quiet holiness of his mentor, the soldier-turned-monk Father Zossima.Through their tragic, comic, and deeply human collision, Dostoevsky shows how sin and love ripple outward, shaping the lives of all who are connected to us. He invites each of us to step toward mercy: to confront our divided hearts, to return to God, and to be drawn back into authentic communion with one another. In the end, as Father Zossima teaches, “Love is such a priceless treasure that you can redeem the whole world by it.”

  This first full-length account of the Darby School of Art overturns Philadelphia’s long-held unwarranted reputation and demonstrates that Philadelphia was a hub of avant-garde painting in the early twentieth century.
  
  This first full-length account of the Darby School of Art overturns Philadelphia’s long-held unwarranted reputation as artistically stodgy—unwilling and unable to embrace Impressionism, post-Impressionist, and abstract art—and demonstrates that Philadelphia was more avant-garde in the early twentieth century than previously thought.
  
  This is the story of an almost completely forgotten summer art school that flourished first in Darby, PA, and then in Fort Washington, PA, between 1898 and 1918. The Darby School of Art was founded and operated by Thomas Anshutz and Hugh Breckenridge, two artists who taught during the academic year at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Anshutz and Breckenridge brought a lot of new ideas about painting back to Philadelphia after their European sojourns, and introduced those ideas to a public that was initially not very responsive to Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and semi-abstract art. But an appreciation for modern styles of painting began to slowly grow among Philadelphia artists and collectors, and Anshutz and Breckenridge were in the forefront of this development. They also sympathized with what some have called the "New Woman" movement, which backed women who wanted to pursue careers outside of the home.
  
  In this new history, expert Mark Sullivan argues that the Philadelphia area was a genuine hub of avant-garde painting in the early twentieth century, even though it has earned the reputation of lagging far behind New York City in its openness to new styles of painting. It also discusses how the Darby School should be recognized as an institution that got behind the idea of women as professional artists at a time when that concept was quite radical.
