Finishing Well

The Adventure of Life Beyond Halftime

By: Bob Buford

Author Bob Buford called them "code breakers." They are people age 40 and older who have pioneered the art of finishing well in these modern times, and who can teach us to do the same, starting today. Buford sought out 60 of these trailblazers--including Peter Drucker, Roger Staubach, Jim Collins, Ken Blanchard, and Dallas Willard--and has recorded their lively conversations in these pages so that they can serve as "mentors in print" for all of us. "Twenty years from now," Buford writes, "the rules for this second adulthood as a productive season of life may be better known. But for now, we're out across the frontier breaking new ground." Buford gives you a chance to sit at the feet of these pioneers and learn the art of finishing well so you can shift into a far more fulfilling life now, no matter your age, and pursue a lasting significance that will be a legacy for future generations.

Hang 'Em High

Law and Disorder in Western Films and Literature

By: Bob Herzberg

For more than a century the Western film has proven to be an enduring genre. At the dawn of the 20th century, in the same years that The Great Train Robbery begat a film genre, Owen Wister wrote The Virginian, which began a new literary genre. From the beginning, both literature and film would usually perpetuate the myth of the Old West as a place where justice always triumphed and all concerned (except the villains) pursued the Law. The facts, however, reflect abuses of due process: lynch mobs and hired gunslingers rather than lawmen regularly pursued lawbreakers; vengeance rather than justice was often employed; and even in courts of law justice didn't always prevail. Some films and novels bucked this trend, however. This book discusses the many Western films as well as the novels they are based on, that illustrate distortions of the law in the Old West and the many ways, most of them marked by vengeance, in which its characters pursued justice.

Blues

A Regional Experience

By: Bob L. Eagle,Eric S. LeBlanc

Examining the blues genre by region, and describing the differences unique to each, make this a must-have for music scholars and lay readers alike. A melding of many types of music such as ragtime, spiritual, jug band, and other influences came together in what we now call the blues. Blues: A Regional Experience is the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference book of blues performers yet published, correcting many errors in the existing literature. Arranged mainly by ecoregions of the United States, this volume traces the history of blues from one region to another, identifying the unique sounds and performers of that area. Each section begins with a brief introduction, including a discussion of the region's culture and its influence on blues music. Chapters take an in-depth look at blues styles from the following regions: Virginia and the tidewater area, Carolinas and the Piedmont area, the Appalachians and Alabama, the Mississippi Delta, Greater Texas, the Lower Midwest, the Midwest, the Northeast, and California and the West. Biographical sketches of musicians such as B.B. King and T-Bone Walker include parental data and up-to-date biographical information, including full names, pseudonyms, and burial place, when available. The work includes a chapter devoted to the Vaudeville era, presenting much information never before published. A chronology, selected artists' CD discography, and bibliography round out this title for students and music fans.

Journeys on the Edge

A Burmese Quest

By: Bob Anderson

On February 1st, 2021 tanks appeared on the streets of Burmese cities and the people of Burma are once again involved in a seemingly endless struggle for justice and democracy waged against a brutal military regime. Journeys on the Edge traces the growth of Mobile Education Partnerships, an educational charity built from scratch by teachers, which became an international award-winning organisation. It is, in fact, an adventure on many levels, physical, emotional and spiritual. MEP works with communities ‘on the edge’ many displaced by war, poverty and oppression inside Burma (aka Myanmar) and on the Thai/Burma border. Importantly, this is not a sentimental presentation of ‘victimhood’ but a very candid, sympathetic and human exploration of how an organisation was built in these challenging circumstances. Neither is it a handbook on how to build a charity. It does, however, offer a ground-level guide to anyone who wishes to go down that road. This is a story which provides a fascinating insight into this tragic, violent and at times bizarre world drawing on the lives of those directly involved, the volunteers, the refugees, the migrants, the warlords and those of us searching for something to believe in, in a world where the truth is elusive and the central message of Shakespeare, that nothing is as it appears to be, serves as a warning to all.

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Imperial Japan on Screen, 1931-2022

By: Bob Herzberg

This book deals with film depictions of Imperial Japan from the time it was a totalitarian power to the productions of recent years. It especially covers wartime depictions, as well as the historical events that inspire the stories behind these productions. In the 1930s, Hollywood gave us the likeable Mr. Moto at the same time Japan was set on its expansionist course. When war broke out, both the Allies and the Axis produced propaganda films that increased hatred for the enemy. In the postwar years as the Cold War took hold, the U.S. government encouraged friendship with their former wartime enemy. This book details correspondence between studio personnel and the Production Code office, as well as the critiques of film reviewers, historians and military figures from both sides of the conflict. Also examined are behind-the-scenes machinations from both the Japanese and American governments in the censorship of controversial film content.

Is God Calvinist or Arminian?

The Closing Argument

By: Bob Raymond

Imagine a Creator designing every intricacy of the universe and creating His crowning jewel, mankind, in His image! Now, imagine that same Creator with such a passionate, unquenchable love for them that when they introduced sin into the world, He came as a man to die an excruciating death for them. Ask yourself these questions. Did that Creator give His life for all mankind or just some? Did that creator give all mankind an opportunity for salvation? Does He love some more than others? The author explores these questions and many more in this inspiring work, Is God Calvinist or Arminian? I highly recommend every layman as well as every Pastor include this book in their library. Dr. Randal Helms Senior Pastor, Forestbrook Baptist Church Bob has a knack for taking the profoundly complex issues of soteriology and making them incredibly simple for anyone to understand. Is God Calvinist or Arminian? is an honest evaluation of some of the more troubling aspects of reformed soteriology, presented in a non-threatening manner and laced with down-to-earth language. This brief volume serves as a suitable entry point for any individual looking to further their understanding of soteriology and the practical response to it. Samuel L. Schmidt, Ed.D Pastor, Edgewood Baptist Church President, The Samuel Ministry There are three principles that establish the basis for our understanding of Gods will for mankind: His purpose for creation, His omniscient wisdom to choose the best way to achieve His purpose, and the power of His omnipotent will to perfectly execute His plan. Applying these principles to the teachings of Calvinism and Arminianism, Bob Raymond has shown that God created a plan for the salvation of mankind that is simple and orderly.

The Fall of Samaria

The Fall of Samaria

An Historical and Archaeological Study

By: Bob Becking

The fall of Samaria is narrated in 2 Kings 17. The cuneiform inscriptions dealing with this event are prima facie contradictory: the conquest is ascribed to both Shalmaneser V and Sargon II. The surmise of H. Tadmor that Samaria was conquered twice is investigated. At the same time the events are interpreted in their socio-historical framework. Tadmor's assumption cannot be falsified, although his theory should be modified as regards the date of the first conquest: 723 B.C.E. The fall of Samaria can be interpreted as an inevitable result of the expansion of the Assyrian Empire in combination with internal struggles in Israel. Evidence of deportation reveals that deportees were treated as normal citizens. Thorough discussion of the sources and their interpretation is a feature of this book.

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

From David to Gedaliah

The Book of Kings as Story and History

By: Bob Becking

The ten essays in this volume all deal with various aspects of the interpretation of the Book of Kings. Bob Becking tries to set a course between Scylla and Charibdis. Both 'minimalism' and 'maximalism' are avoided by trying to apply a variety of methods: narratology, historical criticism and theological analysis. This implies that extra-biblical evidence -- the Tell Dan inscription, Assyrian royal inscriptions, West Semitic seal inscriptions -- are taken into account. Selected texts from this biblical book are read on the basis of a three-dimensional matrix: (1) the narrative character of the story/stories; (2) the value and function of extra-biblical material, be it of an epigraphical or an archaeological character; (3) the art of history-writing both ancient and modern. The essays are arranged according to the order in which the relevant texts or their main characters figure in the Book of Kings. Originally published between 1987 and 2005, they have been updated for publication in the present collection.

More than 300 patterns of American pressed glass are documented, described, and illustrated in this comprehensive reference guide for collectors. In this informative and fully illustrated guide, Bob H. Batty—a noted collector of pressed glass—covers more than three hundred glass patterns.

All of the works shown are from Batty’s personal collection, which numbers more than 2,700 pieces representing some 1,900 patterns. Batty, who has pursued his glass collecting with scholarly attention to historical accuracy and detail, has named many of the previously uncatalogued patterns after cities and landmarks throughout his native South. A number of foreign patterns are also included, with precise measurements given for every piece depicted.

I Am

A Journey Through Times and Spaces

By: Bob Dunsmore

I Am is a practical manual for the peaceful worldwide revolution underway. It mandates the end of corporate personhood, and the "for profit before people" Federal Reserve System. It calls for the establishment of a Federal Department of Integrity, the revamping of our foreign relations and its "foreign aid for profit" machine and doing away with the "clearly unconstitutional income tax." Bob co-founded several non-profit organizations including Colorado's San Luis Valley Solar Energy Association and Alamosa Children's School during the 1980's. As co-director of the San Luis Valley Energy Center, he traveled nationwide and internationally promoting hands-on, low-cost and no-cost do-it-yourself solar energy and energy conservation technologies. He has worked as a community development specialist in twenty countries. I Am grounds the reader in an autobiographical journey of empowerment, inspiring the reader to move beyond fear and beyond belief to undertake the great challenges of our times. Bob presents ideas for reversing global warming within a matter of months, for convoking a constitutional assembly, for retooling our factories, creating millions of jobs and creating a sustainable future for the Earth

In Their Own Words

By: Bob Gingrich

All of the factual information collected here is intended as a tool to help Americans rediscover their wonderful heritage; to reintroduce them to the preeminent men and women who had the courage, intelligence, wisdom, and foresight to look to God for guidance in putting together our foundational documents and our systems of government and commerce. Convincing evidence is abundant that our laws, customs, ethics, and moral codes were based upon precepts of the Judeo/Christian Bible and that the overwhelming majority of those involved in the discovery and founding of the United States of America were Christians on a Christian mission. That they fully expected this country to be governed according to those precepts is made clear in their speeches and voluminous writings."--Page xi-xii.

This collection of essays gives an insight into the problems that we encounter when we try to (re)construct events from Israel's past. On the one hand, the Hebrew Bible is a biased source, on the other hand, the data provided by archaeology and extra-biblical texts are constrained and sometimes contradictory. Discussing a set of examples, the author applies fundamental insight from the philosophy of history to clarify Israel's past.

Around Shrewsbury

By: Bob Ketenheim

The Shrewsbury area was one of the first Pennsylvania settlements west of the Susquehanna River. Located midway between Harrisburg and Baltimore, Maryland, an important north-south transportation route known as the Potocas Trail ran through the town's center. What began as a quiet farming area in the late 1700s developed into a commerce center of furniture and sewing factories by the late 1800s. Today, its central business area, now on the National Register of Historic Places, is the antique hub of southern York County. Shrewsbury continues to provide peaceful living for many who work in the Baltimore area.

THE Z-5 INCIDENT

America's Ultimate POW/MIA Betrayal

By: Bob Miller

The Kremlin officially denied any knowledge of the whereabouts of thousands of American POWs held in German camps overrun by Red Army forces in Eastern Europe as WWII in Europe ended. Months earlier the International Red Cross had confirmed the presence of tens of thousands of American prisoners in these German camps. Moscow, fearing an American nuclear attack against them as the war ended, secretly held thousands of these U.S. servicemen hostage and sent them to a certain death in their remote Gulag camps in Asiatic Russia. As the Cold War began the Kremlin’s relentless denials concerning knowledge of these prisoners whereabouts, forced Washington to ignore the truth and declared these men dead: and their remains missing and unrecoverable. Their families were then so notified. Over the years a few of these Americans have escaped the USSR but no one believed their stories which were downplayed by official Washington. This is the story of Paul Carter: one of these secretly abandoned servicemen who, knowing he was written off, along with thousands of others, escapes his exile in the former Soviet Union and returns to Washington today to seek out those who betrayed him. Miller’s novel, The Z-5 Incident, now joins his two earlier non-fiction ‘deep throat’ expose’s: America’s Disposable Soldiers, and America’s Abandoned Sons. The former exposed Pentagon incompetence concerning WMD in Gulf War Syndrome, and the latter the betrayal of America’s commitment to never abandon captured American prisoners being held on foreign soil.

Slave Labor in the Capital

Building Washington's Iconic Federal Landmarks

By: Bob Arnebeck

The little-known history of how enslaved African Americans contributed to the building of the White House and other landmarks—includes illustrations. In 1791, President George Washington appointed a commission to build the future capital of the nation. Workers flocked to the city—but the commission found that paying masters of faraway Maryland plantations sixty dollars a year for their slaves made it easier to keep their payroll low. In 1798, half of the two hundred workers building the two most iconic Washington landmarks, the Capitol and the White House, were slaves. They moved stones for Scottish masons and sawed lumber for Irish carpenters. They cut trees and baked bricks. These unschooled young black men left no memoirs. Based on his research in the commissioners’ records, author Bob Arnebeck describes their world of dawn-to-dusk work, salt pork and corn bread, white scorn and a kind nurse, and the moments when everything depended on their skills.

Integrating the Orioles

Baseball and Race in Baltimore

By: Bob Luke

The struggle to integrate the Baltimore Orioles mirrored the fight for civil rights in Baltimore. The Orioles debuted in 1954, the same year the Supreme Court struck down public school segregation. As Baltimore experienced demonstrations, white flight and a 1968 riot, team integration came slowly. Black players--mostly outfielders--made cameo appearances as black fans stayed away in droves. The breakthrough came in 1966, with the arrival of a more enlightened owner, and African American superstar Frank Robinson. As more black players filled the roster, the Orioles dominated the American League from 1969 through much of the 1970s and into the early 1980s. Attempts to integrate the team's executive suite were less successful. While black players generally did not participate in civil rights actions, several under Robinson's leadership pushed for front office jobs for former black players. Drawing on primary sources and interviews with former executives, players and sportswriters, this book tells the story of the integration of the Orioles. The author describes how tensions between community leaders and team officials aborted negotiations to both increase black attendance and put an African American in the club's executive ranks.

Identity in Persian Egypt

Identity in Persian Egypt

The Fate of the Yehudite Community of Elephantine

By: Bob Becking

In this book, Bob Becking provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the origins, lives, and eventual fate of the Yehudites, or Judeans, at Elephantine, framed within the greater history of the rise and fall of the Persian Empire. The Yehudites were among those mercenaries recruited by the Persians to defend the southwestern border of the empire in the fifth century BCE. Becking argues that this group, whom some label as the first “Jews,” lived on the island of Elephantine in relative peace with other ethnic groups under the aegis of the pax persica. Drawing on Aramaic and Demotic texts discovered during excavations on the island and at Syene on the adjacent shore of the Nile, Becking finds evidence of intermarriage, trade cooperation, and even a limited acceptance of one another’s gods between the various ethnic groups at Elephantine. His analysis of the Elephantine Yehudites’ unorthodox form of Yahwism provides valuable insight into the group’s religious beliefs and practices. An important contribution to the study of Yehudite life in the diaspora, this accessibly written and sweeping history enhances our understanding of the varieties of early Jewish life and how these contributed to the construction of Judaism.

Ten Thousand Birds

Ornithology since Darwin

By: Tim Birkhead,Jo Wimpenny,Bob Montgomerie

Ten Thousand Birds provides a thoroughly engaging and authoritative history of modern ornithology, tracing how the study of birds has been shaped by a succession of visionary and often-controversial personalities, and by the unique social and scientific contexts in which these extraordinary individuals worked. This beautifully illustrated book opens in the middle of the nineteenth century when ornithology was a museum-based discipline focused almost exclusively on the anatomy, taxonomy, and classification of dead birds. It describes how in the early 1900s pioneering individuals such as Erwin Stresemann, Ernst Mayr, and Julian Huxley recognized the importance of studying live birds in the field, and how this shift thrust ornithology into the mainstream of the biological sciences. The book tells the stories of eccentrics like Colonel Richard Meinertzhagen, a pathological liar who stole specimens from museums and quite likely murdered his wife, and describes the breathtaking insights and discoveries of ambitious and influential figures such as David Lack, Niko Tinbergen, Robert MacArthur, and others who through their studies of birds transformed entire fields of biology. Ten Thousand Birds brings this history vividly to life through the work and achievements of those who advanced the field. Drawing on a wealth of archival material and in-depth interviews, this fascinating book reveals how research on birds has contributed more to our understanding of animal biology than the study of just about any other group of organisms.

Between Fear And Freedom

Essays On The Interpretation Of Jeremiah 30-31

By: Bob Becking

Jermiah 30--31 remains an intruiging text. This monograph defends the thesis that these chapters are composed of ten Sub-Cantos and that they should be construed as a the conceptual coherence as based on the idea of divine changeability. Ancient near Eastern parallels help to map the mental framework of the ancient reader.

Around Glen Rock

By: Bob Ketenheim

Glen Rock is situated in a valley along Codorus Creek in Shrewsbury Township in southern York County. Incorporated in 1860, the town is located on what once was a major north-south rail line that linked Harrisburg with Baltimore, Maryland. This important transportation link helped the town prosper with sewing factories, furniture factories, coach works, ironworks, and a nearby distillery. Although the rail link was severed in 1972 by Tropical Storm Agnes, Glen Rock survived to become a quiet residential community. Today the railroad that once ensured Glen Rock's existence continues to help the town with tourists, cyclists, and joggers as part of the York County Heritage Rail Trail. Through vintage images, Around Glen Rock chronicles this region's evolution while paying tribute to its roots.

Bad Company and Burnt Powder

Justice and Injustice in the Old Southwest

By: Bob Alexander

Bad Company and Burnt Powder is a collection of twelve stories of when things turned "Western" in the nineteenth-century Southwest. Each chapter deals with a different character or episode in the Wild West involving various lawmen, Texas Rangers, outlaws, feudists, vigilantes, lawyers, and judges. Covered herein are the stories of Cal Aten, John Hittson, the Millican boys, Gid Taylor and Jim and Tom Murphy, Alf Rushing, Bob Meldrum and Noah Wilkerson, P. C. Baird, Gus Chenowth, Jim Dunaway, John Kinney, Elbert Hanks and Boyd White, and Eddie Aten. Within these pages the reader will meet a nineteen-year-old Texas Ranger figuratively dying to shoot his gun. He does get to shoot at people, but soon realizes what he thought was a bargain exacted a steep price. Another tale is of an old-school cowman who shut down illicit traffic in stolen livestock that had existed for years on the Llano Estacado. He was tough, salty, and had no quarter for cow-thieves or sympathy for any mealy-mouthed politicians. He cleaned house, maybe not too nicely, but unarguably successful he was. Then there is the tale of an accomplished and unbeaten fugitive, well known and identified for murder of a Texas peace officer. But the Texas Rangers couldn't find him. County sheriffs wouldn't hold him. Slipping away from bounty hunters, he hit Owlhoot Trail.

Scripture and Counseling

God's Word for Life in a Broken World

By: Bob Kellemen

What role does Scripture play in counseling? Today, we face a weakening of confidence in the Bible. This is just as true for the pastor offering counsel in his office as it is for the person in the pew talking with a struggling friend. We need to regain our confidence in God's living Word as sufficient to address the real-life issues we face today. Scripture and Counseling will help you understand how the Bible equips us to grow in counseling competence as we use it to tackle the complex issues of life. Divided into two sections, Part One develops a robust biblical view of Scripture’s sufficiency for "life and godliness" leading to increased confidence in God's Word. Part Two teaches how to use Scripture in the counseling process. This section demonstrates how a firm grasp of the sufficiency of Scripture leads to increased competence in the ancient art of personally ministering God's Word to others. Part of the Biblical Counseling Coalition series, Scripture and Counseling brings you the wisdom of twenty ministry leaders who write so you can have confidence that God’s Word is sufficient, necessary, and relevant to equip God’s people to address the complex issues of life in a broken world. It blends theological wisdom with practical expertise and is accessible to pastors, church leaders, counseling practitioners, and students, equipping them to minister the truth and power of God’s word in the context of biblical counseling, soul care, spiritual direction, pastoral care, and small group facilitation.
