An unforgettable journey to breathtaking destinations around the world.

Venture beyond the familiar with Kinfolk Journeys, a celebration of inspiring and sustainable ways to travel slower and see the world anew. Take a subterranean tour of Tashkent, join a local mailman on his delivery route through rural New Zealand or sail the high seas en route to Antarctica--these stories will transform the way you travel, no matter the locale or distance. Kinfolk Journeys is filled with ideas for day trips, weekend breaks and grander adventures that center around slower modes of transport--road, rail, sea and trail--and encourage us to be our own guides along the way. Featuring lush photography, practical advice and thoughtful reflections on responsible travel, the eighteen stories in this collection take us to some of the world's most extraordinary landscapes, from Namibia's daring and desolate coastline to the most remote reaches of Australia. Guided by the belief that travel is as much a state of mind as an action or itinerary, Kinfolk Journeys is about exploring our world in a way that not only fosters thoughtful perspectives on the places we visit but also deepens our relationship with home once the journey is over.

In this gorgeous, aspirational work, Burns, editor-in-chief of Kinfolk magazine, collects 'stories about nature as nourishment' along with photographs from homes across the globe to inspire people to bring more nature into their own abodes. . . . Expertly evoking a mood of understated luxury, this stunning spread will have design junkies drooling. --Publishers Weekly

A gardener with a secret oasis on a Parisian rooftop. An artist making faux flowers to brighten Manhattan apartments. A family of ranchers rewilding the American outback.

Anchored around the idea of nature as nourishment, The Kinfolk Garden explores lush gardens and plantfilled homes around the world and introduces the inspiring people who coax them into bloom. Through visits to friends old and new, the Kinfolk team learns the secrets to a good garden, and what good a garden can do for our self-care, creativity and communities.

Though many of the people we meet along the way champion the idea of following natural instincts rather than a set of prescriptive garden rules, there are practical tips throughout the book that offer advice on everything from growing your own produce to foraging for artful arrangements to simply keeping your houseplants alive a little longer than usual.

The Kinfolk Garden is an invitation to engage with nature--to care for it, create with its beauty and cultivate new relationships around it--and offers inspiration and guidance to anyone looking to bring a little more greenery into their life.

Explore the art of mindful travel with Kinfolk, the pioneers in slow living, their philosophy of simplicity, authenticity, intentionality and community. With nearly 450,000 copies in print, the Kinfolk series has applied this philosophy to entertaining (The Kinfolk Table), interior design (The Kinfolk Home), and living with nature (The Kinfolk Garden). Now they have turned their attention to slow travel, offering readers a road map for planning trips that foster meaningful connections with local people and authentic experiences of local culture.

Go museum hopping in Tasmania, or birdwatching in London. Explore the burgeoning fashion community in Dakar. Take a bicycle tour through Idaho, or a train trip from Oslo to Bergen. Drawing on the magazine's global community of writers and photographers, Kinfolk Travel takes readers to over 20 location across five continents, with travel tips from locals, stunning images, and thoughtful essays.

An inspiring collection of the best images from the tastemaking Kinfolk magazine

With over 650,000 copies of their books in print and nearly 50 issues of their magazine distributed worldwide, Kinfolk has come to define the taste of a generation: From interiors to fashion, portraiture, food and travel, the consistently boundary-pushing photography produced by the brand has coalesced into one of the most influential and immersive lifestyle aesthetics of the last decade. The Art of Kinfolk brings more than 300 of the most iconic images from the first decade of the magazine into focus. Ranging from the deceptively simple to the surreal to the perennially stylish, this collection of originally commissioned photography captures the arc of an artistic adventure, a creative community at work, and in the process illuminates one of the most enigmatic aesthetics of the era.

In trying to rectify the agnostic scientist in me with the obsessive-compulsive Christian, I had to confront my entire existence. Religion had permeated my life to the point where I rebelled against every social and religious norm.

If I was ever going to believe in God, what attributes must I possess?

My science brain ushered me into the Bible from a historical and archaeological perspective. I craved proper epistemology in answering the God hypothesis. If God was indeed real, and he indeed spoke our universe into existence, then it must be supernatural.

I began to focus on teaching tools employed by a creator from within the dimension of time I am trapped in. If God indeed exists, he must be outside of how humans experience time.

Rivers became my classroom. Whenever life became chaotic and the waters were raging, God directed me beside the great rivers in forty-five countries spanning five continents. The journey of a thousand miles for me began beside the Delaware River and the Brandywine River valleys in southeastern Pennsylvania.

This entire book is about the mercy and grace of a loving creator on display in the life of his very stiff-necked child. The words are mine alone. This is my story; this is my song.

I pray the contents contained in my testimony may help one person going through a raging river episode in life to be still and know that God, through Jesus Christ, is in control. You are loved by the living God.

I am old now. My life is one of hard truths replacing the easy lies that permeated my existence for many years. God is redeeming the time in my life. Please join me, and if this helps you just a little, give God all the praise. I know my redeemer lives. In Christ's service, JB.

The road goes on forever, and the party never ends. Until the rivers meet the seas, be still...

Jesus Christ identified seven churches begun by John the Revelator to address what is wrong with the church he began on Pentecost.

One of those churches is Thyatira. This is the Greek name of the wife of Nimrod who had a Babylonian name of Semiramis. She is an adulterer, and she introduced child sacrifice into human religious practices.

Her practices migrated from Babylon to ancient Israel and the land of Canaan the descendants of Abraham were promised. These ancient fertility cults were eventually incorporated into Jewish worship under Jeroboam I. Ahab is his grandson.

Ahab marries the princess of Tyre and the daughter of the high priest of the Sidonian religion which had adopted the pantheon of Babylon and gave it a Phoenician touch. Jezebel is our villain, and she is our example of what church was never to become.

Jezebel set up Phallic symbols in Samaria and throughout the kingdom of the north. She believed in sacrificing babies on superheated fertility altars erected in Canaan. She convinces her husband, the King of Israel, to go along.

Jezebel begins her career corrupting Ahab by starting an inquisition upon the family of Naboth, a dresser of vines and a shepherd in Israel. She wipes out his entire bloodline over a piece of land. That land is still being fought over by the descendants of Ahab and Jezebel in Israel today.

Ahab was a man who once believed in God's plan to redeem man to himself through the sacrifice of his own son. A little leaven in the life of Jeroboam had now turned the whole lump of Israel toward sin.

The practices of Babylon had made their way into ancient monotheistic worship in Israel. Fertility practices venerated by pagans were now in the house of God on earth.

Nothing has changed. Today these practices are being venerated in Christian houses where they proclaim God exists.

Join me as we discover how Jesus Christ's church has allowed for the same practices here in America, and I fear tradition has replaced Bible truth in a way that hinders the true worship of Jesus Christ as King and Savior.

The road goes on forever and the party never ends.

He was crucified upon a cross of wood yet he created the hill upon which it stood.
He is alive forevermore and he is returning for his virgin bride very soon.

Enjoy Becoming Jezebel.

The Seekers is a British comic strip that ran in the Daily Sketch from 1966 to 1971. The main characters, Susanne Dove and Jacob Benedick, are two top secret agents employed by Una Frost, director ofthe Seekers', an elite agency that focuses on finding missing persons. THE MAN WHO DIED TWICE, originally serialized in the Daily Sketch, is the seventeenth installment of the popular British series originated by Les Lilley and taken over in this installment by Phillip Douglas and illustrated by John Burns. The strip bears some resemblance to another strip Burns later drew for a brief period, MODESTY BLAISE. The female characters were consistently drawn in an enticing manner, indicating Burns evident intent to challenge the limits of the daily British newspaper strip conventions of the times. LUCKY COMIX has painstakingly cleaned up the original dailies and reformatted them into a graphic novelette that will be sure to please fans of classic comic strips as well as those who just enjoy a cracking good mystery with very pretty girls. We hope you'll enjoy Susanne and Jacob's first outing as THE SEEKERS.

Author John Burns, cohost of the international program Family Success, shares how when men discover the miracle of a father's hug, they can change the life of their children forever.

Something miraculous happens when a father wraps his arms around his child, almost as if a heart-shaped hole begins to fill with the miracle substance called life. When a father learns how to love their children unconditionally and express that love through the miracle of a hug, they will find that the miracle that blesses their children will bless them as well.

In the dangerous world children are growing up in today--addiction, teen pregnancy, eating disorders, plummeting self-image, and a multitude of other threats can harden their lives in a second. This guide to discovering the power of a hug from a father and understanding the complex issues children face today shares a message of hope, healing, and unconditional love.

John Burns outlines revolutionary concepts that can redirect the life of a child and reinforce the teachings and values that fathers everywhere are striving to instill.

Poets writing in Spanish by the end of the twentieth century had to contend with globalization as a backdrop for their literary production. They could embrace it, ignore it or potentially re-imagine the role of the poet altogether. This book examines some of the efforts of Spanish-language poets to cope with the globalizing cultural economy of the late twentieth century. This study looks at the similarities and differences in both text and context of poets, some major and some minor, writing in Chile, Mexico, the Mexican-American community and Spain. These poets write in a variety of styles, from highly experimental approaches to poetry to more traditional methods of writing. Included in this study are Chileans Raúl Zurita and Cecilia Vicuña, Spaniards Leopoldo María Panero and Luis García Montero, Mexicans Silvia Tomasa Rivera and Guillermo Gómez Peña, and Mexican-American Juan Felipe Herrera. Some of them embrace (and are even embraced by) media both old and new whereas others eschew it. Some continue their work in the vein of national traditions while others become difficult to situate within any one single national tradition. Exploring the varieties of strategies these writers employ, this book makes it clear that Spanish-language poets have not been exempt from the process of globalization. Individually, these poets have been studied to varying degrees. Globalization has been studied extensively from a variety of disciplinary approaches, particularly in the context of the Latin American region and Spain. However, it is a relative rarity to see poets being studied, as they are in this work, in terms of their relationship to globalization. Taken as a sample or snapshot of writing tendencies in Latin American and Spanish poetry of the late twentieth century, this book studies them as part of a greater circuit of cultural production by establishing their literary as well as extra-literary genealogies and connections. It situates these poets in terms of their writing itself as well as in terms of their literary traditions, their methods of contending with neoliberal economic models and global information flows from the television and Internet. Although many literary critics attempt to study the connections and relationships between poetry and the world beyond the page, few monographs go about it the way this one does. It takes a transatlantic approach to contemporary Spanish-language poetry, focusing on poets on poets from Spain and the American continent, emphasizing their connections, commonalities and differences across increasingly porous borders in the age of information. The relationship between text and context is explored with a cultural studies approach, more often associated with media studies than with literary studies. Literature is not treated as a privileged object of isolated study, but rather as a system of ideas and images that is deeply interwoven with other forms of human expression that have arisen in the last decades of the twentieth century. The result is a suggestive analysis of the figure of the poet in the broader globalized marketplace of cultural goods and ideas. Contemporary Hispanic Poets: Cultural Production in the Global, Digital Age is an important book for library collections in Spanish, Latin American and Iberian Studies, Chicano Studies.
