Some of the most popular art instruction books ever written have been based on student notes culled over the years from actual workshop sessions, with all their power and immediacy - and with practical, on-to-one contact between student and teacher. This is such a book. For more than two years, Linda Cateura has pursued teacher / artist David A. Leffel, notebook in hand, as he critiqued the work of students. Linda Cateura's succinct notes capture his insights, philosophy, painting hints, and general comments. Leffel's classic, painterly, twentieth-century old master style, much in the manner of Rembrandt or Chardin, affords ample illustration of the ideas expressed - through his many paintings, details, demonstrations, and diagrams, almost all in color. No matter what your level of ability, there is something here to apply to your own work, ideas that will cause you to rething your own ways of painting, hints to save you effort, or solutions to persistent painting problems.
Mario Cuomo, Tony Bennett, Geraldine Ferraro, Francis Ford Coppola, Rudolph Giuliani, and many others tell in their own words about their childhoods and their families. Includes never-before-published photos from private family collections.

From an unlikely mix of Protestants of different races and lifestyles, Cateura has drawn extraordinary revelations about the state of Protestantism today. Out of a silence nurtured for generations behind the portals of the institutional religion, she has persuaded a wide range of believers of many cloths and backgrounds to speak out and openly reveal their inner thoughts, conflicts and aspirations. These include not only traditional members, but also former shamanists, Confucians, Koreans, Chinese, storefront Hispanics, born-again Christians, ex-Catholics, gays, lesbians, all of whom are adding color and exoticism to a somewhat fading fabric. The memoirs are based on one-to-one interviews with famous and not-so-famous people. Among those who share their personal memoirs with the reader are Bishop Paul Moore, Jr., former head of the New York Episcopal Church; storefront Pentecostal and former member of Harlem's Young Lords Party, Gerardo de Jesus; Coretta Scott King; Charles "Chuck" Colson of Watergate fame; J. Willard Marriott, Jr., hotel CEO and Mormon stake; Hi Chul Wang, Korean Presbyterian; Norman Vincent Peale (shortly before he died); Major Betty Baker of the Salvation Army; gospel jazz singer, Mark Kibble; lesbian pastor, Pat Bumgardner; Chinese businessman, Wing Ning Pang; Scott Simon, Quaker and National Public Radio host; Rebecca Zook, an Amish housewife; the charismatic, Phil Gerrish; and 8 others. The Following reviews are from her previous book Growing Up Italian
Will Catholics survive? In a changing church, stripped of authority, lacking old rules, will members disperse? Read what's happening in this book: personal revelations from one-on-one interviews with Ted Kennedy, Andrew Greeley, Alexander Haig, Mother Angelica, Peter Grace, Jacqueline Grennan, Archbishop Mahony and others. "A very impressive book."—Robert Drinan, former Congressman "If the Catholic Church in America ever needed defining, this may be the moment. Linda Brandi Cateura does quite a job of getting a diverse group of Catholics to talk. A varied, often surprising look by Catholics at themselves. And what an outstanding contribution by Ted Kennedy, who says he once considered the priesthood!"—James Brady, novelist and columnist
