Summary: Essential "Reading"
Comment: I discovered this book when I was 16. It is a tale told only in woodcuts, sublimely, by Lynd Ward. There is no wanting for the written word here. Each page is meticulously cafted to take you, step-by-step, through the story of an artist who makes a pact with "Evil" to gain fame and fortune, only to come to realize that those goals are not worthy of desire in the first place.

I have given copies of this book away to people that I thought could use some amazement in their lives. Each time I did so, I scrambled to find another copy for myself.

I cannot recommend this work higher. It will appeal to any age; preschooler to octogenarian (older, if you're so lucky!). The tale is universal and the art is masterful.

Summary: A Spiritual Journey
Comment: A 1930 hard copy edition of God's Man has occupied a very special place in my family's heart and bookshelf for over 50 years. As a young child, I opened this book many times, sometimes moving quickly from woodcut to woodcut, pausing at my favorites and other times moving slowly through each one.

Just last week my grown daughter came into my home office, excited about the concept of scanning pictures and ironing them on t-shirts. She saw God's Man by my computer where I put it to remind me to check its current availability. Her first reaction was excitement, "Oh, these would be great on a t-shirt". But then, as she started going through the book page by page, she quickly reconsidered. "No, I couldn't put any of these on a t-shirt. I grew up with this book and each one is so special to me. They are too sacred to put on a t-shirt."

God's Man has been a significant part of my family's spiritual journey and I am sure it will also be a part of future generation's explorations of the spiritual and the sacred.

Thanks to Eric S. Rosen Publishing for making it available today. I'm going to order several copies for family and friends! Might someone reprint it again in hard copy? I'd buy several hard copies as well!

Summary: Strange Magic
Comment: I found a hardback version in a public library over 30 years ago as a I child in Scranton, PA. I took it to the checkout counter and found it was not one of their books! SOmebody had just put it on the shelves - I carried it with me all this time and learned it now sells for over $500 - I will not sell it for anything for to do so would be to lose my soul - and losing one's soul is the theme of this book - so it sits on my shelf - with my soul.
