From the comedy clubs of New York to his big break on "Saturday Night Live" to block-buster films like "Big Daddy" and "Little Nicky" Adam Sandler has left America howling in their seats and peeing in their pants. Sandler has emerged as the decade's most unstoppable comedic-and the ladies love him! But how many people know the story behind this lovable comedic prodigy's ascent to fame? Bill Crawford takes you back to Sandler's childhood in a small New Hampshire Town, where his stand-up routines were always hits with his classmates but not necessarily the teachers! When Adam left his small town to take on the big city at New York University, it wasn't always easy, Sandler performed as a street musician crooning Springsteen songs to commuters, but he was destined to succeed. From his long friendship with then college classmate Tim Herlihy, who went on to co-write all Sandler's movies, to being discovered by Dennis Miller and eventually becoming America's funnyman, Bill Crawford looks behind the headlines and tabloid tales to shed new light on this decade's comedic darling.

My Favorite Jokes (HB)

By: Gene Crawford

My Favorite Jokes By: Gene Crawford Some people collect baseball cards; some people collect cars; some people collect dolls; some people collect bottles—Gene Crawford collects jokes. He has done this since he was in high school. He has written many jokes from memory (from hearing them years ago). Also, friends know he collects jokes, so, they send them to him now and then. Jokes he shares must clear a hurdle—they must be clean enough for his grandchildren to read (they are ages eleven to seventeen). He’s tried carefully to follow this rule, even though, in about three jokes, he did put in a few dashes (finish the spelling carefully). He doesn’t know how many jokes he has collected—maybe about three thousand. But here are some of his favorite jokes. Maybe there are some jokes in this file that will produce some belly laughs for you—they sure have for Gene Crawford… and for a long, long time.

The Myth of Excellence

Why Great Companies Never Try to Be the Best at Everything

By: Fred Crawford,Ryan Mathews

The Undiscovered Consumer . . .and the Mistake of Universal Excellence What do customers really want? And how can companies best serve them? Fred Crawford and Ryan Mathews set off on what they describe as an "expedition into the commercial wilderness" to find the answers. What they discovered was a new consumer -- one whom very few companies understand, much less manufacture products for or sell products or services to. These consumers are desperately searching for values, a scarce resource in our rapidly changing and challenging world. And increasingly they are turning to business to reaffirm these values. As one consumer put it: "I can find value everywhere but can't find values anywhere." Crawford and Mathews's initial inquiries eventually grew into a major research study involving more than 10,000 consumers, interviews with executives from scores of leading companies around the world, and dozens of international client engagements. Their conclusion: Most companies priding themselves on how well they "know" their customers aren't really listening to them at all. Consumers are fed up with all the fuss about "world-class performance" and "excellence." What they are aggressively demanding is recognition, respect, trust, fairness, and honesty. Believing that they are still in a position to dictate the terms of commercial engagement, businesses have bought into the myth of excellence -- the clearly false and destructive theory that a company ought to be great at everything it does, that is, all the components of every commercial transaction: price, product, access, experience, and service. This is always a mistake because "the predictable outcome [is] that the company ends up world-class at nothing; not well-differentiated and therefore not thought of by consumers at the moment of need." Instead, Crawford and Mathews suggest that companies engage in Consumer Relevancy, a strategy of dominating in one element of a transaction, differentiating on a second, and being at industry par (i.e., average) on the remaining three. It's not necessary for businesses to equally invest time and money on all five attributes, and their customers don't want them to. Imagine the confusion if Tiffany & Co. started offering deep discounts on diamonds and McDonald's began selling free-range chicken and tofu. The Myth of Excellence provides a blueprint for companies seeking to offer values-based products and services and shows how to realize the commercial opportunities that exist just beyond their current grasp -- opportunities to reduce operating costs, boost bottom-line profitability, and, most important, begin to engage in a meaningful dialogue with customers.

The Undying

The Undying

By: Joseph Eric Crawford

Sheila Barton is an investigative reporter for a big city newspaper. But she doesn’t focus on boring stories like robbery, murder, or graft. If there is an element of the supernatural or the unexplained in a certain incident, then her curiosity is piqued. However, this is not mere morbid fascination with creepy locales or haunted landmarks. It stems from an encounter from her childhood with a mysterious phantasm that everyone she has known doubts really happened. Rider Hague is an expert in the occult and is a college professor who has spent most of his life researching the root causes of things that go bump in the night. But a chance meeting (or is it?) with a beautiful woman has led him into a world of darkness and evil he never believed existed. Now, these two very human, very mortal people will have to deal with the Undying!

Jonathan Edwards on the Atonement

Understanding the Legacy of America’s Greatest Theologian

By: Brandon James Crawford

The gospel is the heart of the Christian faith, and the atonement is the heart of the gospel. In this work, Pastor Brandon Crawford offers a study of the doctrine of atonement as it was understood by America's greatest theologian--Jonathan Edwards--setting his doctrine in the context of both his historical predecessors and his broader theology. This book provides important insights into the mind of this intellectual giant and the critical role that Edwards played in the trajectory of New England theology in the decades following his death.

Eerdmans Commentary on the Bible: Esther

By: Sidnie White Crawford

This extract from the Eerdmans Commentary on the Bible provides Crawford’s introduction to and concise commentary on Esther. The Eerdmans Commentary on the Bible presents, in nontechnical language, the best of modern scholarship on each book of the Bible, including the Apocrypha. Reader-friendly commentary complements succinct summaries of each section of the text and will be valuable to scholars, students, and general readers. Rather than attempt a verse-by-verse analysis, these volumes work from larger sense units, highlighting the place of each passage within the overarching biblical story. Commentators focus on the genre of each text—parable, prophetic oracle, legal code, and so on—interpreting within the historical and literary context. The volumes also address major issues within each biblical book—including the range of possible interpretations—and refer readers to the best resources for further discussions.
