SOUL IN MORTAL CHRYSALIS, a spiritual journey of the life cycle, seems in some ways like a unique prayer book as we explore inner thoughts about each step in life. Mark Singer's poems are given an artistic interpretation by Pegge Patton, who visually gives more meaning to the poetry. The insightful thoughts of Leon Lombard gives another dimension of depth to the ideas presented. The three together blend the aspects of spirituality in a whole new way for me.

I shall be re-reading this book many times. With each reading comes more understanding.

Life's biggest joys and challenges leap from the pages of this soul-searching, extraordinary work. How do we deal with the passages of life? What do these passages really mean and how do the affect us? The calm thoughtfulness of Mark Singer's probing thoughts and Pegge Patten's fascinating graphics make this a volume we all need to read many, many times. I pick this book up several times each week and glance through it for badly needed inspiration. Thanks to the three authors for pouring their hearts, minds, and being into this soothing study of life.

Mark Singer's spiritually moving and thought-provoking poetry, accompanied by Leon Lombard's eloquent prose, illuminates the many hidden aspects of one's sojourn in life. Pegge Patten interprets each poem through her insightful graphics, and her visual feast reveals the spirit contained in the poetry and prose. This profound work helps me explore the meaning of life, love, relationships, fear, hope, and inner peace. This is one book that I will never store on my bookshelf. I keep it handy and reflect often on the wisdom shared by these three compassionate artists. It's a book I imagine you would treasure for many years, too.
