OH MY WORD!,
By
This review is from: Living Word (Paperback)
Thought provoking, fun, inventive -- what a creative idea for a book! If you're having a small group gathering, ask each person to try & pick a single word to describe themselves & watch what happens!

what one word defines you?,
This review is from: Living Word (Paperback)
Living Word by Laura and William Gentry is an art project and a people project -- asking a variety of people of a variety of ages, races, occupations, and lifestyles -- what ONE word most defines them. Art is primarily about communication. This art project involves not only the original artists -- but it expands to include everyone who ever participates. The book includes black and white portraits of a wide range of people -- from the age of one to their 90s -- all wearing a plain white t-shirt of the word they feel best defines them. Brief text next to each portrait gives a sense of that individual. Look into the eyes of some fellow human beings and see a glimpse of who they are. This could be a wonderful project for middle school students; a discussion point for writing groups; a probing question to ask a friend or family member.

How God manifests in everyday life.,
By D. Donovan, Editor/Sr. Reviewer "California B... (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living Word (Paperback)
Laura E. Gentry's LIVING WORD gathers portraits of individuals who wear a t-shirt with one word to define him or her self. The insights are both spiritual and psychological, with LIVING WORD an intentionally religious title meant to describe how the word of God manifests in daily life. All ages and colors receive representation and black and white photos paired with descriptive insights of each word's meaning.
