The author will take us through the process of the Holy Spirit's work in a life that is hungry and thirsty for the hidden riches of the Father. We must yield to the Father's call to this diamond-kind of character, which brings the heat of His light into the deepest part of our nature. This absolute light of God will expose, sift, and analyze, even to the depth of our nature, and it will judge the thought and the intent of our heart. ". . .these pages are filled with words of anointing and power! The depth and knowledge of the Word coupled with pellucid analogies of the diamond-kind of character has sparked my desire to pursue this character in my everyday walk with the Lord and with those around me." Kalan Lowery "From the very first chapter of this book, I sensed God's presence. This book is filled with treasures of great worth and reading it was definitely a life changing experience." Tina Esqueff "In reading this book, I found that I could not put it down, and that it caused a deep introspection. The anointing on each page caused me to question the make-up of my own character. I believe that as you read this book, it will cause you to examine your life and your character." Rev. Wayne Priest "...Diamonds in a World of Glass will be a book in my library that I will read again and again. Rev. Adkins unveils hidden treasures, 'diamonds' from the Word of God for us to plainly see." Rev. Stacey Scaife

"Poetics of the Iconotext makes available for the first time in English the theories of the respected French text/image specialist, Professor Liliane Louvel. A consolidation of the most significant theoretical materials of Louvel's two acclaimed books, L'Oeil du Texte: Texte et image dans la litterature anglophone and Texte/Image: Images a lire, textes a voir, this newly conceived work introduces English readers to the most current thinking in French text/image theory and visual studies. Focusing on the full spectrum of text/image relations, from medieval illuminated manuscripts to digital books, Louvel begins by introducing key terms and situating her work in the context of significant debates in text/image studies. Part II introduces Louvel's s typology of pictorial saturation through which she establishes a continuum along which to measure the effect of the most figurative to the most literal images upon writerly and readerly textual 'spaces.' Part III adopts a phenomenological approach towards the reading-viewing experience as expressed in conceptual categories that include the trace, focal range, synesthesia, and rhythm and speed. The result is a provocative interplay of the categorical and the subjective that invites readers to think at once more precisely and more inventively about texts, images, and the intersections between the two"--Provided by publisher.
