  The World of Art and Diaghilev's...

  When, almost twenty years ago, we founded the World of Art, we had a burning desire to liberate Russian artistic activity from the tutelage of literature, to instil in the society around us a love of the very essence of art, and that was the aim we had when we took the field. We considered enemies all those "who fail to respect art as such", those who either fasten wings to an old nag or harness Pegasus to the cart of "social ideals", or reject the idea of Pegasus altogether. For that reason, we addressed ourselves to the artistic world with the slogan "Talents of all directions, unite!" And that is how in our ranks Vrubel immediately appeared alongside Levitan, Bakst alongside Serov, Somov alongside Maliavin. – Alexander Benois

  The Spiritual Practice of Watching Movies
  What's your favorite Christmas movie? Easter movie? Pentecost movie? Casual viewers and movie buffs alike have favorite movies to watch at certain times of the year. But for film critic Abby Olcese, movies with spiritual themes aren't just limited to the holiday season. They're part of a deep human need to connect our favorite stories to the natural rhythms of our lives, and to let them shape and give meaning to our experience of the seasons all year long.
  The life of the church is also defined by stories, which we revisit through the pattern of the Christian year. In Films for All Seasons, Olcese invites us to reflect on the great themes of the church calendar through the lens of film. From superhero movies and Star Wars to classics and arthouse films, she chooses movies for each liturgical season and leads us through them with skill and infectious enthusiasm, exploring how each one can informand deepen our appreciation of its corresponding season.
  Films for All Seasons is more than just a book about movies—it's a model for how we engage with art as Christians.
  Includes:
  
  - Explorations of popular, classic, and arthouse films and how they relate to liturgical seasons
  - Reflections on the great themes of the church calendar
  - Discussion questions after each movie designed to facilitate discussion with small groups and friends

  Grief is a journey that often feels like a path of endless twists and turns—unpredictable, raw, and at times, impossibly dark. In Grief Tales, Declan Lockwood takes us through the deeply human experience of loss with a series of twenty powerful stories, each exploring the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. 
  Told from the perspective of a man wrestling with the weight of his own sorrow, these poignant, sometimes painful, and often unexpectedly humorous monologues bring the reader face-to-face with the complexities of grief. With raw honesty and keen insight, Lockwood navigates the delicate balance between the struggle to hold on and the necessity to let go. 
  From the deep silence of unanswered questions to the slow emergence of hope, these stories are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, showing that even in the darkest moments, there is always the potential for healing. Grief Tales is an evocative and thought-provoking exploration of the space between loss and recovery, offering solace and understanding to anyone who has ever loved, lost, and found their way back again.
