For readers of Bruce Feiler s "Walking the Bible" and Kathleen Norris s "The Cloister Walk" comes a powerful exploration of the Bible in translation. Aviya Kushner grew up in a Hebrew-speaking family, reading the Bible in the original Hebrew and debating its meaning over the dinner table. She knew much of it by heart and was therefore surprised when, while getting her MFA at the University of Iowa, she took the novelist Marilynne Robinson s class on the Old Testament and discovered she barely recognized the text she thought she knew so well. From differences in the Ten Commandments to a less ambiguous reading of the creation story to a new emphasis on the topic of slavery, the English translation often felt like another book entirely from the one she had grown up with. Kushner began discussing the experience with Robinson, who became a mentor, and her interest in the differences between the ancient language and the modern one gradually became an obsession. She began what became a ten-year project of reading different versions of the Hebrew Bible in English and traveling the world in the footsteps of the great biblical translators, trying to understand what compelled them to take on a lifetime project that was often considered heretical and in some cases resulted in their deaths. In this eye-opening chronicle, Kushner tells the story of her vibrant relationship to the Bible, and along the way illustrates how the differences in translation affect our understanding of our culture s most important written work. A fascinating look at language and the beliefs we hold most dear, "The Grammar of God" is also a moving tale about leaving home and returning to it, both literally and through reading. Praise for "The Grammar of God" The highest praise for a book, perhaps, is tucking it into a slot on your bookshelf where you ll always be able to effortlessly slide it out, lay it across your lap and soak it up for a minute or a long afternoon s absorption. "The Grammar of God: A Journey into the Words and Worlds of the Bible, " Aviya Kushner s poetic and powerful plumbing of both the Hebrew and English translations of the Bible, now rests in just such an easy-to-grab spot in my library. In a word, it s brilliant. And beautiful. Barbara Mahany, "Chicago Tribune" Aviya Kushner has written a passionate, illuminating essay about meaning itself. "The Grammar of God" is also a unique personal narrative, a family story with the Bible and its languages as central characters. Robert Pinsky Kushner is principally interested in the meanings and translations of key Biblical passages, and she pursues this interest with a fierce passion. . . . A paean, in a way, to the rigors and frustrations and ultimate joys of trying to comprehend the unfathomable. "Kirkus Reviews" A remarkable and passionately original book of meditation, exegesis, and memoir. In Kushner s redemptive vision, the Bible in its many translations is a Noah s ark, and her book, too, does a work of saving. When I put it down, I wept. Rosanna Warren, author of "Stained Glass" What a glorious book! From Sarah s laughter to the idea of Jewish law being a dialogue and not a rigid set of rules, this is a book not only to learn from but to savor. Peter Orner, author of "Love and Shame and Love" In this splendid book, each page is a wonder. Willis Barnstone, author of "The Restored New Testament""

This book is about the fundamentals of light, shadow and reflectivity; the focus is firmly on helping to improve visual understanding of the world around and on techniques for representing that world. Rendering is the next step after drawing to communicate ideas more clearly. Building on what Scott Robertson The Unofficial Guide to Crafting the World of Harry Potter: 30 Magical Crafts for Witches and Wizards from Pencil Wands to House Colors Tie-Dye Shirts free pdf and Thomas Bertling wrote about in How To Draw: Drawing and Sketching Objects and Environments from Your Imagination, this book shares everything the two experts know about how to render light, shadow and reflective surfaces. This book is divided into two major sections: the first explains the physics of light and shadow. One will learn how to construct proper shadows in perspective and how to apply the correct values to those surfaces. The second section focuses on the physics of reflectivity and how to render a wide range of materials utilizing this knowledge. Throughout the book, two icons appear that indicate either observation or action. This means the page or section is about observing reality or taking action by applying the knowledge and following the steps in creating your own work. Similar to our previous book, How To Draw, this book contains links to free online rendering tutorials that can be accessed via the URL list or through the H2Re app."
