This is an absolute beautiful book (inside I mean). I love CS Lewis, and this is one of his best.

From the stunning metallics of the cover through the beautiful illustrations within and straight to the lovely bonus of cards at the back,  this book is amazing to look at.

But the real centerpiece is the content from Maia Toll which is charming,  whimsical, and powerfully written to bring the herbs within to life and light.  I can't recommend this book highly enough.  This is a book to spend time with,  slowly,  absorbing its contents as they wash over you like a gentle, warm rainfall.

This is an absolutely beautiful book.  The interiors are beautiful, finely edited and extremely livable.  No clutter here yet a sense of a modern take on tradition.

Although a Protestant (Presbyterian), I study Orthodox Christian iconography with one of the Prosopon School's master Iconographers.  This book, illustrated with many, many colorful images by the hand of the founder of the Prosopon School, is absolutely beautiful in every respect.  After seeing it for the first time, I had to have one.  Now that I have one in my own home, I want to share it with . . . everybody!  So, I will be acquiring additional copies as gifts for my church library, for my young grandchildren, other family members, and cherished friends.  The illustrations are not strictly iconographic (being painted before the founding of the Prosopon School) and some have a charming almost Celtic (more likely Russian) folk art flavor.  Because of this, the book will appeal to all who appreciate beautiful art, especially Christian oriented art, even children and young people.  It is NOT necessary to be familiar with Orthodox iconography to enjoy this book.  Words escape me when I attempt to describe the beauty of this book.

There are so few words I have that can do this book justice - It's pure and utter beauty! Interesting story that sparks the imagination and feels as though you are watching a film. I found this book after watching a short animation clip (of the same name) and was absolutely enamored by the detail. I hope to see more soon! I am in love with it!

I just received this book today and I am so in love with the beautiful pictures and warm narrative throughout the book. I just want to curl up on the couch with this book and a nice big cub of tea for the next week.  It is absolutely dazzling.

Each and every chapter screams WOW!  My favourite chapters are 'serenity', 'tranquility' and 'individuality' - every page speaks to you and the photographs are amazing.  I also really like how there are little descriptions of the rooms on every page ... like "The study's tailored flannel chair is given a touch of whimsy with a hand-embroidered pillow."

Thank you Sandra Nunnerley for the endless enjoyment out of your book - I could get lost in the pictures all day, noticing different furniture, artwork and objects.... like the snakeskin mantel on page 39... stunning!

A great book that I highly recommend.

I had no idea that I would be getting a coloring book this beautiful. I had flipped through the preview and liked some of the pictures but never did I imagine the extent of what I was getting. When it came I knew instantly I wasn't going to be doing like I usually did. I always cut my pages out and used a clipboard because I like a hard surface to color on. I knew I wouldn't be cutting anything out of this one. It is hardcover with some of the artists work on front and back. The binding is a beautiful satiny gold. The pictures inside are very pretty. I decided that this book was going to be for my 4 year old grand daughter. I have been working hard in the book and when I'm done it goes to her for when she grows up and I'm no

First of all, the photos in this book are astounding!  I'm having trouble deciding whether I want it to live in my kitchen or on my coffee table, it's that beautiful.

The combo of chef, nutritionist and photography skills put together makes this my favorite book of the year.  After trying a few of the recipes, I know they will all turn out exactly as promised and that without much experience in the kitchen I can easily put these together.

I love being able to paleo-ify some of my favorite mediterranean dishes like hummus, stuffed cabbage and fattoush salad and try new ways to cook offal that my family will love. I seriously can't wait to cook my way thru the rest of the book.

Also, Caitlin's nutritionist tips are not only helpful but I feel like I can take her advice because her story is so remarkable.  She's not just a nutrition coach, she's someone who has battled weight gain, autoimmune disease and a myriad of symptoms that she's managed with food.  THAT is a nutrition coach I can pay attention to.

I highly recommend this book.  I will be ordering several copies for holiday gifts this year.

Ive followed Ruths Instagram for a while now and always appreciate her beautiful watercolors and vulnerable truth-telling. When I heard she was coming out with a book, I knew I wanted to read it. I have not been disappointed in the slightest. This is one of the most beautiful books Ive read in ages, but the wisdom and space to reflect in the pages have fed my soul in some deep ways. Im savoring this book in my time with Lord and found myself sharing the things I was learning after only being a few pages in. This is a treasure of a book.

This book is beautiful inside out. I love how easy this book makes painting feel. I love the examples, the instructions and just every single page in this book. The author has decades of experience and this particular style, abstract with a dreamy, atmospheric mood is really beautiful.
  I would say not to wait but to go ahead if you have even the slightest inkling or desire towards painting.
  I can't say enough good things about this book and I doubt you'll have any regrets if you buy it.

I just opened this and it is incredibly beautiful.  It's much larger than I'd anticipated, which is great.  I'm a prolific journal keeper, so the smaller ones tend to fill up too fast.  I just can't get over how nice this book is!  My life is not so great right now and I'd intended to save this journal for when things were better, but it's so pretty that I can hardly wait.

What a beautiful book!!!!!! I bought it for both of my granddaughters 2 yrs and 4 months. The photography was beautiful...depicting such important words I feel are important for the girls to learn and recognize...Love, Family, Smile, Peace, Beauty! NOT the usual "First Words" book! I am so very glad that I discovered this treasure!

Although [the price] seems hefty for a paperback book, you won't think that after seeing it.  It is filled with color photos and helpful diagrams of the incredibly beautiful, complete with step-by-step directions to almost ensure success.  Best of all, it is helpful for many other arts as well, since the information about coloring, centering, decorating letters, composing a monogram, etc. can be applied just as well to numerous other arts.  I really love this book; it is unbelievably gorgeous and inspiring, with such great directions that even I should be able to do this successfully.  Even if you're not a calligrapher, this will greatly help you should you decide to give it a try -- and will also help even if you use computer fonts, just want to frame and display treasured quotes or invitations, etc.  I have nothing to do with the author, publisher, or anyone involved with this book ... I just took a chance and ordered it, and am thrilled beyond words with it.  HIGHEST possible recommendation.

This is a beautiful book and it almost feels sacred to hold it in your hands and turn the gorgeous pages.  It is well laid out and relaxing on the mind to read.  The information in this book is invaluable.  I wish that I had known about it years ago.  It has really changed my perspective.
I bought 'Presentation Zen' by Garr Reynolds too and they are two of my favorite books on the bookshelf.

I just received my copy of Men and Angels and I am absolutely giddy with delight.  This is THE most beautiful book I own.  I have quite a few art and photography tomes that I love, but this one truly takes the cake.  A few years ago, I ran across one of Christensen's other books, A Journey of the Imagination, in a bookstore.  I knew nothing about him at the time, and I recall sitting in the floor of the bookstore, mesmerized by his paintings.  I went home with my purchase and read it cover to cover that evening.  It remains one of my favorite books of all time.  I discovered very recently that Christensen had published another one in the past year or so.  The quality of this book is superb.  I am almost afraid to turn the pages without wearing cotton gloves!  The color is exquisite and the pages (and text) are very large, allowing for very nice detail of the paintings.  Again, in this work, Christensen describes his inspirations (and perspiration) that go into the pieces, and you get more insight into his symbolism and personal philosophy on life.  If you are a fan of Christensen or fantasy art, you will not be disappointed in having this book in your library.
