Christianity is another country, says John Drury, and we need to familiarize ourselves with it in order to understand the universal meaning of its art. In this beautifully written book, Drury, an Anglican priest and theologian, looks at religious paintings through the ages and presents them to us in a fresh way?as works filled with passion, stories, and meaning. They become the poetry of such eternal human concerns as birth, death, sacrifice, love, and moral goodness and failure. Drury points out the religious meanings in paintings that range from works by Piero della Francesca to those by Velazquez. In each case he views the whole picture?its composition, color, drawing, figures, and even architecture?and shows how it creates a religious image that addresses the spectator as a spiritual human being. Drury also provides a historical context for the works, comparing our perception with the perceptions of, for example, the medieval monarch or the Renaissance merchant who first commissioned the work. He examines how these pictures are able to speak to audiences across time and space, and in the process he allows us to respond to them at a more imaginative, empathetic level.

Enlightened, expressive and engaging, John Drury's 'Awaken Your Soul: A Journey of Discovery' takes readers on an autobiographical journey into the shadows of his psyche as a way to find the sense of purpose that once was lost to the ages. Using Drury's own rich illustrations, photography, digital art and inspirational messages, the book reveals how Drury, a former Fortune 100 chief marketing officer, tapped psychologist Carl Jung's "Shadow Work" teachings to explore his own unrelenting pursuit of money, power and sex, question his own integrity and relationships, rediscover his own hidden self - and transform his life. The book include 144 pages of incredible 4 color digital art that explores John's journey. The book leaves readers prepared to ask the questions needed to take their own journey into introspection and personal fulfillment. They're prepared to take their lives off "auto-pilot," grab control of their life’s course, and reclaim their authentic hidden selves - and their lives. In the end, readers - like Drury and the executives he coaches as part of his consulting firm, FullyAlive360 - rediscover passion, inner contentment and sense of personal destiny, with stronger relationships with themselves and those around them. Says Drury: "To 'Awaken Your Soul' means to get rid of the emotional baggage and get back to the essence of who you are."
