The Relationship Devotional: 365 Lessons to Love & Learn by

By Abigail Wilentz

Devotionals have long been a mainstay in the lives of millions. The Relationship Devotional is the first to take this popular format into the all-embracing, all-encompassing realm of relationships. It's an extraordinarily beautiful package, complete with front cover flocking and debossing with four-color tip, adorned with a colorful ribbon. Each week explores a new aspect of our romantic lives, from flirtation and fear of commitment to longing, seduction, and jealousy. And every daily entry examines that theme through a single artistic medium, be it a sonnet, novel, film, opera, TV show, or sculpture. These thought-provoking nuggets, both old and new, go from ancient times right up through Sex and the City . Botticelli's The Birth of Venus jubilantly celebrates "Love and Beauty." "May December Romance" looks at real-life couple Bogie and Bacall, while "From Friendship to Love" presents on-screen pair Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) & Paul Varjack (George Peppard) in Breakfast at Tiffany's . With keen insight or subtle implication, Wilentz interprets the wisdom or lesson readers can glean from each selection.
