Art of 4 Elements

★ 4.6

Nataša Pantović

Art of 4 Elements Spiritual Poetry Book.
Discover Alchemy through Poetry and Love through Alchemy.

Four artists, a poet Nataša Pantović, a photographer Christine Cutajar, and two painters Jason Lu and Jeni Caruana, worked together to create The Art of Four Elements book with 120 art works and 120 poems. The poetry acted as an inspiration for the work of the artists: each one of them chose 40 poems and created the art work based on the theme and the ‘vibe' of the poems.

The poetry, the photography, the drawings, you will find in the Art of 4 Elements book attempt to deeper explore the infinite game of Life, through the exploration of:

Earth that is fixed, rigid, static and quiet, and symbolizes the world of senses;
Water that is the primordial Chaos, is fluidity and flexibility, and symbolizes the world of emotions;
Air that has no shape and is incapable of any fixed form. It is a symbol of thoughts.
Fire that is boundless and invisible, and is a parching heat that consumes all, or within its highest manifestation, becomes the expression of Divine Love; and
Spirit that stands at the center of the four elements as an Essence, an Observer, Consciousness coming forth to experience the magic of Life.

Practicing the Way: Be with Jesus, Become Like Him, Do As He Did

★ 4.5

John Mark Comer

The author of the international bestseller The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry calls us to rediscover the path that leads to a deeper life with God .

“One of the most important books I have read in a decade . . . If we would all follow in this way, our lives would change and the world would change.”—Jennie Allen, author of Get Out of Your Head and Find Your People

We are constantly being formed by the world around us. To be formed by Jesus will require us to become his apprentice.

To live by what the first Christian disciples called a Rule of Life—a set of practices and relational rhythms that slow us down and open up space in our daily lives for God to do what only God can do—transforms the deepest parts of us to become like him.

This introduction to spiritual formation is full of John Mark Comer’s trademark mix of theological substance and cultural insight as well as practical wisdom on developing your own Rule of Life.

These ancient practices have much to offer us. By learning to rearrange our days, we can follow the Way of Jesus. We can be with him. Become like him. And do as he did.

Dr. Alec McCullough, recovering naval officer, is investigating a rash of inexplicable octopus attacks, but his every effort is met with resistance. Coaxing an attractive young widow—the local healer—to allow him to examine the latest victim only leads to further complications.

Together, they uncover layers of deceit—and creatures fabricated from a fusion of both living and mechanical components. As innocent lives are callously sacrificed, Isa and Alec struggle to forge a future together while attempting to prevent a disaster of international proportions.
