"Balancing Blessings" is a companion book that offers insights from the Bible into the lives of twelve women who found spiritual balance by embracing the principles of grace through Jesus Christ. Each devotional examines the character qualities, roles, and relationships of women such as Mary Magdalene, Esther, Deborah, Ruth, and others. By stepping back in time and experiencing life-defining moments with these women, we see how God's unmerited favor intervened and helped them navigate life's fears, insecurities, and uncertainties. Moreover, from these women, we discover how to cultivate a more meaningful relationship with God and others and how to take steps toward obtaining spiritual balance in our own lives. Each section includes a dedicated journal page for personal reflection.

This special edition consists of two volumes on the art of Ana Maria Pacheco - Ana Maria Pacheco: Dark Night of the Soul by Sanda M. Miller and John Hedgecoe, and Exercise of Power: The Art of Ana Maria Pacheco by George Szirtes - in a slipcased set with Pacheco's signed, original, limited-edition print Hairy Legs of the Queen of Sheba. Ana Maria Pacheco grew up in Brazil, where she was surrounded by a culture that was richly influenced both by the Catholic religion and by the rituals of the indigenous population. Her suite of polychrome sculpture Dark Night of the Soul translates the legend of St Sebastian into a twentieth-century context. Ana Maria Pacheco: Dark Night of the Soul is the first book to trace the development of that work and its inspiration, and to document the finished piece through stunning and dramatic photography by John Hedgecoe. Exercise of Power: The Art of Ana Maria Pacheco traces the career of Ana Maria Pacheco from her origins and education in Brazil, through her arrival in England as a British Council scholar at the Slade in 1973, and her development over the next twenty-five years into one of the outstanding figurative artists of her time.
