Thematically focused analysis of modern architecture throughout Texas with gorgeous photographs illustrating works by famous and lesser-known architects. In the mid-twentieth century, dramatic social and political change coincided with the ascendance and evolution of architectural modernism in Texas. Between the 1930s and 1980s, a state known for cowboys and cotton fields rapidly urbanized and became a hub of global trade and a heavyweight in national politics. Relentless ambition and a strong sense of place combined to make Texans particularly receptive to modern architecture’s implication of newness, forward-looking attitude, and capacity to reinterpret historical forms in novel ways. As money and people poured in, architects and their clients used modern buildings to define themselves and the state. Illustrated with stunning photographs by architect Ben Koush, Home, Heat, Money, God analyzes buildings in big cities and small towns by world-famous architects, Texas titans, and lesser-known designers. Architectural historian Kathryn O’Rourke describes the forces that influenced architects as they addressed basic needs—such as staying cool in a warming climate and living in up-to-date housing—and responded to a culture driven by potent religiosity, by the countervailing pressures of pluralism and homogenization, and by the myth of Texan exceptionalism.

This story begins in 1991 when Sheryl meets her second husband named Richard. Her expectations are different than they were for her first marriage. That said, she never dreams that it will become so awful. Unfortunately, physical abuse is a part of the story. Divorce seems a clear and almost certain option. Sheryl has always believed that God helps those who help themselves (which is not biblical). Like most people, she believes it is up to her to fix herself and her marriage. But nothing she does works. The level of desperation is tremendous-a desperation that Sheryl has rarely experienced. But then.God. Sheryl finally turns everything over to God. God steps in and, wow, the old, ugly marriage dies and what is left is better than a dream come true. Everything is brand new, squeaky clean, and joyful. Jesus was, is, and always will be the center, the bottom, the top, and both sides. There really is no life without Christ Jesus.
