The True Essence of a Woman's Beauty
Author: Yvette Carbone
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 9781624190940
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Mrs. Yvette Carbone is a Licensed Ordained Minister and Christian counselor in private practice. She is Vice President of Administration for Bethlehem Aglow in Pennsylvania. She also organizes Bible studies that encourage woman's beauty to reflect the glory and beauty of God. The Author has a strong passion to see the glory and beauty of God reflected in women. A study of Queen Esther demonstrates that her beauty was so captivating that a King could not resist her charm. Esther had to take time to prepare herself with beauty products before appearing in the King's presence. In the same paradigm, women are being prepared holistically to meet the King of Kings as His bride, the church. Women are the epitome of beauty. If they lose that beauty, the earth axis will not rotate anymore. Can you imagine a world without beautiful women? It is unfortunate that most women, especially in the church, see the pursuit of beauty as vanity. God is beautiful and He requires His bride to demonstrate her inner and outer beauty in a healthy balanced way.

Essence and Alchemy
Author: Mandy Aftel
Publisher: North Point Press
ISBN: 1429936126
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
An artisan perfumer reveals a lost art and its mysterious, sensual history. For centuries, people have taken what seems to be an instinctive pleasure in rubbing scents into their skin. Perfume has helped them to pray, to heal, and to make love. And as long as there has been perfume, there have been perfumers, or rather the priests, shamans, and apothecaries who were their predecessors. Yet, in many ways, perfumery is a lost art, its creative and sensual possibilities eclipsed by the synthetic ingredients of which contemporary perfumes are composed, which have none of the subtlety and complexity of essences derived from natural substances, nor their lush histories. Essence and Alchemy resurrects the social and metaphysical legacy that is entwined with the evolution of perfumery, from the dramas of the spice trade to the quests of the alchemists to whom today's perfumers owe a philosophical as well as a practical debt. Mandy Aftel tracks scent through the boudoir and the bath and into the sanctums of worship, offering insights on the relationship of scent to sex, solitude, and the soul. Along the way, she imparts instruction in the art of perfume compositions, complete with recipes, guiding the reader in a process of transformation of materials that continues to follow the alchemical dictum solve et coagula (dissolve and combine) and is itself aesthetically and spiritually transforming.

The Beauty of Everyday Things
Author: Soetsu Yanagi
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0241366364
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
The daily lives of ordinary people are replete with objects, common things used in commonplace settings. These objects are our constant companions in life. As such, writes Soetsu Yanagi, they should be made with care and built to last, treated with respect and even affection. They should be natural and simple, sturdy and safe - the aesthetic result of wholeheartedly fulfilling utilitarian needs. They should, in short, be things of beauty. In an age of feeble and ugly machine-made things, these essays call for us to deepen and transform our relationship with the objects that surround us. Inspired by the work of the simple, humble craftsmen Yanagi encountered during his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea, they are an earnest defence of modest, honest, handcrafted things - from traditional teacups to jars to cloth and paper. Objects like these exemplify the enduring appeal of simplicity and function: the beauty of everyday things.
