Singer Castle Revisited is a fresh look at this castle's rich 100-year history with many new stories and photographs of its original owner, Frederick G. Bourne; his daughter Marjorie, who owned the castle for the next 40 years; and Dr. Harold and Eloise Martin. The Bournes were well known for their marvelous collection of yachts and Gold Cup-winning speedboats. Since the release of Singer Castle, the new owners of this historical Thousand Islands landmark have invested nearly $10 million into restoring it to its original condition. In addition, gracious relatives of the former owners' families have shared their private collections of previously unpublished pictures dating from as far back as the castle's construction.
In 1905, the New York Times called it the Castle of Mysteries, and rightly so. Located on Dark Island, Singer Castle was modeled after the castle described in Sir Walter Scotts Woodstock, complete with dungeons, turrets, labyrinths, and even secret passageways. World-famous architect Ernest Flagg designed it for Singer Sewing Machine Company president Frederick Bourne. Singer Castle provides an unforgettable tour and fascinating history, revealing why this place is truly a castle of mysteries.
Love is patient, love is kind..." or so we are told in the "Love Chapter." But how to apply those words practically to our marriages -- that's another story... or really 30 other stories. To Love, Honor, and Oh Boy! tells the true stories of 30 real couples whose partnerships have stood the test of time, and how they applied the wisdom of the definitive handbook on love -- 1 Corinthians 13 -- to the situations they encountered in their marriages. Each couple's adventures (and misadventures) graphically illustrate a small portion of this timeless and eternal user's manual for lovers, written by the One who by his very nature is Love. Some of the stories are humorous; others will make you cry -- but all of them will inspire you as you discover how other couples demonstrate through all of their sorrows, joys, laughter, and tears that they are wild about each other. Each chapter also features a take-home point that you can try out in your own marriage. Whether you're a newlywed, an "oldywed," or even a not-yet-wed, Patty Mondore's funny and engaging reflections make To Love, Honor, and Oh Boy! an enjoyable and spiritually uplifting read that's certain to strengthen your relationship with both the Lord and your partner.
