Book Description
Without an understanding and appreciation of the culture we seek to preserve and protect, the defense of Western civilization is fundamentally futile; a culture that believes in nothing cannot defend itself, because it has nothing to defend. The past not only still has something to tell us, but it also has something that it must tell us. In this profound and wide-ranging historical survey, Michael Walsh illuminates the ways that the narrative and visual arts both reflect and affect the course of political history, outlining the way forward by arguing for the restoration of the Heroic Narrative that forms the basis of all Western cultural and religious traditions. Let us listen, then, to the angels of our nature, for better and worse. They have much to tell us, if only we will listen.

Book Description
The operas of Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) mark a significant contribution to twentieth-century music and theatre. Opera was Prokofiev's preferred genre; not counting juvenile and unfinished works, he wrote a total of eight. Yet, to date, little has been published about the context, rationale or musical and compositional processes behind this output. While systematic studies of Prokofiev's symphonies and his ballets exist, the operas have come under no such scrutiny. This book is the first in the English language to engage with the composer's operatic output in its entirety and provides a contextual, critical and musico-analytical account of all of Prokofiev's operas, including those juvenile works that are unpublished as well as the incomplete works composed towards the end of his life. It also includes synopses of the operas. Drawing on a wealth of archival material and other sources, the book provides the compelling untold story of Prokofiev the opera composer. CHRISTINA GUILLAUMIER is a music historian, pianist and writer on music. She is currently Head of Undergraduate Programmes at the Royal College of Music in London.

Book Description
Angel stories from the Bible — for kids
Modern believers may be tempted to look upon angels as one of the more fanciful elements of Scripture, but this illuminating and entertaining collection of angel stories from the Bible shows that there are just too many angels for them to be metaphorical, allegorical, or unimportant.
So that children will come to know and learn to revere angels, Marigold Hunt explains what angels are (and are not!) and gathers here in one volume most of the stories of angels in the Bible, including exciting tales of:
The fallen angels, beginning with the devil himself, tempting Adam and Eve
The angel who barred the gates of Eden so Adam and Eve could never enter again
The angels who announced that Sara, Abraham’s aged wife, would have a baby
The angels who tried to save Lot from destruction with the city of Sodom
The angel who stayed Abraham’s hand as he was about to sacrifice his son Isaac
The angels in Jacob’s dream who climbed the stairway to Heaven
The angels who saved Sidrach, Misach, and Abdenago from the fiery furnace
The angel Raphael, who shielded Tobias from death, and protected his wife Sara
The angels at the Ascension who chided the apostles for staring at the sky
The angel Gabriel, who foretold the birth of Jesus and John the Baptist
The choirs of angels who sang above Bethlehem when Jesus was born
The angel who carried food to Daniel when he was imprisoned in the lion’s den
The angel who freed Peter from prison, and, of course:
The countless angels who fill the marvelous pages of the Book of Revelation
