About Madelon Maupin
Although Madelon Maupin's academic background includes both undergraduate and graduate degrees in Biblical Studies, it is probably her 35+ years in business and her strong emphasis on written and verbal communication that give BibleRoads its "punch." Madelon spent 15 years in the newspaper industry, cultivating a commitment to highly focused, content-rich presentation and a strong research background. Over the next 20 years she headed a leadership consulting firm in Los Angeles, where she worked with some of the film industry's top firms and developed a capacity for clear, direct verbal communication. Ever since closing her consulting firm, it has been Madelon's joy to focus full-time on BibleRoads.com, which allows her to combine all of her skills in the talks and workbooks she presents on Biblical topics. Madelon's goal is to help others unlock the Bible in a non-denominational way so that they can discover the Scriptures' spiritual meaning and application to their lives. By delving into the history, politics, geography, customs, and culture of all the Biblical periods and books, she aims to enable readers and listeners to dive deep into these subjects themselves so they can find their own spiritual answer.
Happy New Year, Maddie! What a beautiful experience you had looking at that priceless art and seeing Spirit through the artists’ eyes.
I very much appreciate your enthusiastic discussions of (mostly?) European paintings of Biblical scenes. With a few authentic appearing exceptions, those depictions had previously turned me off because, I suppose, all the characters are very European looking, and so unlike what I would have imagined. I didn’t “get” the peculiar halos above some of the holier people. Everything you explain helps cut through a mist of (ignorance may be too harsh a word) just not understanding them. Thank you!
Madelon, thank you so much for sharing this treasure and making it even more special by framing it in a spiritual perspective. Now I’ll be thinking about what shallow values I can drop off and what enduring values (that inspired these artists) I can cultivate.
Happy New Year dear Madelon. My very best wishes ❗️
