Catching Light: Looking for God in the Movies $20 “Films have come to not only entertain modern minds but also to inform and shape them. Many of the best cinematic works have profound religious elements, either clear or subtle. In “Catching Light” Roy Anker examines nineteen popular films, showing how they convey a range of striking perspectives on the human encounter with God.>Organized by genre — tragedy, comedy, fairy-tale, and drama — these selected films present different, surprising ways in which God shows up amid the messy circumstances of life. For each film Anker looks closely at the plot, especially at how experiences of the storiesb characters ultimately move them btoward Lightb — a recognition of a loving, redemptive deity.>The first section of the book looks at three classic films of the 1970s that inspect personal, social, and cultural evil: “The Godfather, Chinatown,” and “The Deer Hunter.” The second group of films depicts the ways and depths of specifically Christian notions of redemption: “Tender Mercies, The Mission, Places in the Heart,” and “Babettebs Feast.” Some of the most successful films of our time have come as fairy-tale fantasies: the “Star Wars” saga, “Superman,” and three of Steven Speilbergbs blost boyb stories, each of which Anker interprets as fables of search and redemption. The films in the last section of the book feature characters who, to their great surprise, are ambushed by a wholly unexpected God: “Grand Canyon, American Beauty,” and “Three Colors: Blue.”>In addition to focusing on the theological dimension of each film, Anker comments on its merits both as story and as cinema. Every chapter also includes sidebars that discuss each filmbs history and significance as well as thequality and special features of DVD editions. For anyone interested in the intersection of religion, art, and culture, “Catching Light” offers a unique view of contemporary faith.” |

Free to Love: Looking at the Law Through Jesus’ Eyes $10.99 “Christianity exists in two very distinct camps. One emphasizes the devastating effects of sin, while the other emphasizes the deliverance of the Savior, both minimizing the power of the other. In order to rightly divide the word of truth one must keep in balance the effects of sin and the glory of deliverance. In Free to Love, author Timothy E. White attempts to strike this delicate balance in a very unusual placethe Ten Commandments. Readers will be taken down a Scripture-filled path in search of the freedom to see these words of God through the eyes of Jesus, which leads to a love that will liberate them from hypocrisy on the right and heresy on the left, gaining the knowledge that the truth shall set them freeFree to Love.” |

Archaeology and Bible History $22.99 “Joseph P. Free’s Archaeology and Bible History, first published in 1950, served well an entire generation of pastors, Sunday school teachers, laypersons, and college students by summarizing the history of the Bible and shedding light on biblical events through archaeological discoveries. The author demonstrated how such data helps us understand the Bible and confirm its historical accuracy. At times he also dealt with issues of biblical interpretation and criticism, always from a historically orthodox position. When the book was withdrawn from circulation in 1976 after the fourteenth printing, many hoped for the day when it would be revised and updated. That task has now been undertaken by one of Dr. Free’s former students and a biblical archaeologist in his own right, Dr. Howard Vos. He has brought the archaeological and historical material up to date and has modified earlier archaeological interpretations where necessary. The bibliography has been almost totally replaced.” |

Then we would go fishing, catch the BIG ONE, and roast it over an open fire. For dessert there would be s’mores and roasted marshmallows. Then we would joyfully sing campfire songs. After this I would put the kids to bed in their sleeping bags and they would instantly go to sleep. My wife and I would stay up late next to the fire, looking at the stars and making love. Upon our arrival, I found that reality was a far cry from the movies.” Sit back and relax as Jonathan and Maranatha take you on a fun, yet challenging journey through the ins and outs of raising kids.

Sense of History $24.95 “As Americans enter the new century, their interest in the past has never been greater. In record numbers they visit museums and historic sites, attend commemorative ceremonies and festivals, watch historically based films, and reconstruct family genealogies. The question is, Why? What are Americans looking for when they engage with the past? And how is it different from what scholars call “history”?>In this book, David Glassberg surveys the shifting boundaries between the personal, public, and professional uses of the past and explores their place in the broader cultural landscape. Each chapter investigates a specific encounter between Americans and their history: the building of a pacifist war memorial in a rural Massachusetts town; the politics behind the creation of a new historical festival in San Francisco; the letters Ken Burns received in response to his film series on the Civil War; the differing perceptions among black and white residents as to what makes an urban neighborhood historic; and the efforts to identify certain places in California as worthy of commemoration. Along the way, Glassberg reflects not only on how Americans understand and use the past, but on the role of professional historians in that enterprise.>Combining the latest research on American memory with insights gained from Glassberg’s more than twenty years of personal experience in a variety of public history projects, Sense of History offers stimulating reading for all who care about the future of history in America.” |

Sir Theophilus Shepstone had accepted the easiest evidence of a popular desire on the part of the Boers of the Transvaal Republic to become a part of the British Empire. The Boers, or at least the vast majority of them, were a fierce, proud, lonely sort of people, who loved, above all other things, their independence and their curious self-made nationality. They were nearly all of Dutch descent, and many of them were even of Dutch birth. But they did not regard themselves as Dutchmen. They regarded themselves as Boers, and as independent Republicans of the Transvaal. They did not trouble themselves about their Dutch origin. They were proud of it, in a certain way, when they recalled it to mind, as a Virginian or a Massachusetts man might have been proud, when he thought about the matter, of his English progenitors, but remained all the time a Virginian or a Massachusetts man above everything else. The Boers had, in fact, made up a kind of language of their own, one great beauty of which, according to their ideas, was that it contained a very limited vocabulary and gave little chance for roundabout, evasive discourse, or for pompous phraseology. They did not even like to mass together amongst themselves. The Boer’s idea was to live at a good distance from even his best friend, andto live to himself and his family as much as possible. Looking back on the events now, it seems hard, indeed, to understand how Sir Theophilus Shepstone, or Sir Bartle Frere, or Sir Garnet Wolseley, as he then was, could possibly have believed that the majority of the Boers were willing to become part of the English |

Greek History $37.81 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book: LYSANDER. Persian Daric. The treasure-chamber of the Acanthians at Delphi has 1 this inscription: ” The spoils which Brasidas and the Acanthians took from the Athenians.” And accordingly many take the marble statue, which stands within the building by the door, to be Brasidas’s; but indeed it is Lysander’s, an actual likeness, representing him with his hair at full length, after the old fashion, and with an ample flowing beard. For neither is it true, as some have said, that because the Argives after their great defeatf shaved themselves for sorrow, the Spartans, on the other hand, triumphing in their achievements, allowed their hair to grow ; nor did they take a passion for wearing long hair, because the Bacchiadse, who Literally an iconic statue; this, from eikon or icon, a likeness, is the technical term used in Latin as well as Greek for real portraits from the life, as distinguished from ideal representations. t This was the account given by Herodotus, who is not a favourite with Plutarch. The battle was a famous one, -fought some little time before the Persian wars. Argos before her defeats had been the first state in Peloponnesus, and had claimed a sort of pre-eminence in Greece, to which the Spartans after their victory succeeded. fled from Corinth to Lacedaemon, looked mean and unsightly, having their heads all close cut. But this, also, is in fact one of the ordinances of Lycurgus, who, we are told, used to say, that long hair made good- looking men more beautiful, andill-looking men more terrible. 2 Lysander’s father is said to have been Aristocritus, who was not indeed of the royal family, but of the stock of the Heraclidse.

Sports Venues in Shropshire: Gay Meadow $10.18 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Gay Meadow – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Centuries before Shrewsbury Town were to occupy the site, Gay Meadow was known locally as a recreational site, with fairs, carnivals and circuses often taking place on the site. The origins of the name ‘Gay Meadow’ are not entirely clear, although it is widely believed to be related to the site’s continuing use for entertainment purposes. However, an alternative origin of the name exists, stating that the land was originally owned by the ‘Gay’ family in centuries gone by. The site had already played a part in Shrewsbury history, when in February 1740, stuntman Robert Cadman, a ‘steeple-flyer’ attempted to ‘fly’ across the River Severn using a rope attached to St.Mary’s Church at one side and a tree at Gay Meadow (some two hundred feet below). Tragically for Cadman, the rope broke, and he plunged to his death. Some 160 years later in 1910, one of the town’s top football teams, Shrewsbury Town, were looking for a new site to play football matches, having been told they could no longer play at the Army owned pitch at Copthorne Barracks. A consortium bought the site and leased it to the club. Despite objections from the local hospital, who feared crowd noise may disturb patients, the first official match took place on 20 August 1910, when a crowd of up to 1,000 watched a pre-season practice match between the ‘Reds’ and the ‘Whites’. The first league game at the Gay Meadow was a match between Shrewsbury Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers Reserves, on 10 September 1910. Shrewsbury lost the match 2-1, with ‘Shinton’ scoring the first league goal for Wolves, and Billy Scarratt scoring Shrewsbury Town’s first ever goal at the ground. Shrewsbury’s first ever win at Gay Meadow would occur two weeks later agai… More: |
