Katherine Mansfield: A Darker View

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Meyers, Jeffrey / Meyers, Jeffey, PUBLISHER: Cooper Square Publishers, The works of Katherine Mansfield (), one of England's most gifted short story writers, have influenced over eight decades of writers. A friend to Virginia Woolf, D. H. Lawrence, and Bertrand Russell, Mansfield left a literary legacy collected in The Garden Party, In a German Pension, and numerous anthologies. Biographies appearing after her death idealized her, but Meyers sets the record straight in his assessment of the author's life and career, revealing a woman with a self-destructive disdain for convention and respectability. Born and raised in New Zealand, Mansfield threw herself into several love affairs with men and women before living with literary critic John Middleton Murray. Meyers chronicles their tempestuous relationship (one that mixed abuse with devotion) and the years she fought a losing battle with tuberculosis.

The Mentored Life: From Individualism to Personhood

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Houston, James M. / Houston, J. M., PUBLISHER: NavPress Publishing Group, In our contemporary society, it is widely accepted in the search for self to seek the advice of a mentor. From upper management consultants to the well-meaning friend, mentors are readily available. But as Houston writes, "We can choose the pursuit of self-knowledge for enhancing one's professional ambitions, or we can go beyond ourselves in ever-living faith as disciples of the Word." This book is not a guide to mentoring. Rather, Houston thoroughly dismantles and exposes cracks in the philosophies used throughout the history of mentoring. Individualism, stoicism, even psychotherapy all fall short of God's ultimate plan. The Mentored Life reveals that it isn't about making the individual better. Instead, through Christian discipleship, individuals must humbly seek Christ, who alone can lead us to whole personhood.
