The Day I Was Crucified

As Told by Jesus Christ

By: Gene Edwards

Quite simply, one of the most powerful, moving pieces of Christian literature of modern times. Other books have recorded the crucifixion and resurrection, but never before has the reader been ushered into unseen realms to witness the power of the cross as seen from the view of God the Father. You will discover a whole world of new meaning of Christ's death as you witness the destruction of the world systems, the annihilation of the law, the end of Adam's fallen race...and the death of Death. Here is an unequaled drama of power and depth which Christian literature has rarely, if ever, achieved. Edward's The Day I Was Crucified As Told By Jesus the Christ now takes its place among the greatest of Christian literature. We will still be reading this book 200 years from now, and still weeping (and praising) as we read. This is one of those rare life-transforming books.

Art for Art's Sake & Literary Life

Art for Art's Sake & Literary Life

How Politics and Markets Helped Shape the Ideology & Culture of Aestheticism, 1790-1990

By: Gene H. Bell-Villada

Art for Art's Sake and Literary Life is a dynamic history of literary aestheticism from the eighteenth century to academic deconstruction in our own time. Gene H. Bell-Villada examines an enormous range of writings by critics, philosophers, and writers from Europe, Latin America, and the United States. Uniting all is his conviction that "there are concrete social, economic, political, and cultural reasons for the emergence, growth, diffusion, and triumph of l'art pour l'art over the past two centuries." Bell-Villada begins by considering how such thinkers as Shaftesbury, Kant, and Schiller described beauty as a phenomenon to be weighed not in isolation from other aspects of our existence but as part of our general development as human beings. He recounts how the original vision of Kant and Schiller was simplified and debased within new cultural, political, and economic contexts, leading to the "aesthetic separatism" promoted by lyric poets in France. Bell-Villada then examines how the ideology of Art for Art's Sake took on new forms in Europe and the Americas, culminating in present-day versions associated with the academicization (and ever greater marginalization) of literature. Artfully combining an exceptional amount of learning with a sharp polemical focus, Art for Art's Sake and Literary Life will appeal to a wide range of scholars and general readers for whom literature, aesthetics, and the relations of culture and society are vitally important matters.

Christ In Heaven: And So Is Joshua

By: Gene E Herrick

This book is a fantasy, written by me, Gene E. Herrick, a retired journalist of twenty-eight years with the Associated Press. I have always wanted to cover Jesus and delve into his life. This is the second in the series about Jerusalem Inquirer writer Joshua and his glories and travails covering Jesus. Seems more exciting than some of the stories I covered before going back in time. I got into being with Jesus, first as a skeptic, and then being in awe. Being in heaven with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirt gave me new insight into their lives and the effects it has on humanity. What an opportunity to interview them and then send the stories back to earth! Please enjoy this book.

Musical Mixes from Roots to Jazz

By: Gene Santoro

Stir It Up

Musical Mixes from Roots to Jazz

By: Gene Santoro

It's a cliché that the world is shrinking. As Gene Santoro sees it in his second collection of essays, music is one arena where that cliché takes on a real, but paradoxical, life: while music crisscrosses the globe with ever greater speed, musicians seize what's useful, and expand their idioms more rapidly. More and more since the 1960s, musicians, both in America and abroad, have shown an uncanny but consistent ability to draw inspiration from quite unexpected sources. We think of Paul Simon in Graceland, blending Afropop rhythms and Everly Brothers harmonies into a remarkable new sound that captured imaginations worldwide. Or Jimi Hendrix, trying to wring from guitar the howling, Doppler-shifting winds he experienced as a paratrooper. Or Thelonius Monk, mingling Harlem stride piano, bebop, the impressionist harmonies of DeBussey, and a delight in "harmonic space" that eerily paralleled modern physics. From the startling experiments of such jazz giants as Charles Mingus, to the political bite of Bob Marley and Bruce Springsteen, we see musicians again and again taking musical tradition and making it new. The result is a profusion of new forms, media that are constantly being reinvented--in short, an art form capable of seemingly endless, and endlessly fascinating, permutations. Gene Santoro's Stir It Up is an ideal guide to this ever changing soundscape. Santoro is the rare music critic equally at home writing about jazz (John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Tom Harrell), rock (Sting, Elvis Costello, P.J. Harvey), and the international scene (Jamaican, Brazilian, and African pop music). In Stir It Up, readers will find thoughtful but unpretentious discussions of such different musicians as David Byrne and Aretha Franklin, Gilberto Gil and Manu Dibango, Abbey Lincoln and Joe Lovano. And Santoro shows us not only the distinctive features of the diverse people who create so many dazzling sounds, but also the subtle and often surprising connections between them. With effortless authority and a rich sense of music history, he reveals, for instance, how Ornette Coleman was influenced by a mystical group in Morocco--the Major Musicians of Joujouka--whom he discovered via Rolling Stone Brian Jones; how John Coltrane's unpredictable, extended sax solos influenced The Byrds, The Grateful Dead, and most significantly, Jimi Hendrix; and how Bob Marley's reggae combined Rastafarian chants with American pop, African call-and-response, and Black Nationalist politics into a potent mix that still shapes musicians from America to Africa, Europe to Asia. A former musician himself, Santoro is equally illuminating about both the technical aspects of the music and the personal development of the artists themselves. He offers us telling glimpses into their often turbulent lives: Ornette Coleman being kicked out of his high school band for improvising, Charles Mingus checking himself into Bellevue because he'd heard it was a good place to rest, the teenaged Jimi Hendrix practicing air-guitar with a broom at the foot of his bed, Aretha Franklin's Oedipal struggle with her larger-than-life preacher-father. Throughout the volume, Santoro's love and knowledge shine through, as he maps the rewarding terrain of pop music's varied traditions, its eclectic, cross-cultural borrowings, and its astonishing innovations. What results is a fascinating tour through twentieth-century popular music: lively, thought-provoking, leavened with humor and unexpected twists. Stir It Up is sure to challenge readers even as it entertains them.

What Does The Future Hold" ? The #1 question of all time. Supermarket Tabloids, movie and television screens have attempted to answer this demand for knowledge about the future. This amazing book will take you on a historical journey from the Cradle of Civilization to the End of the Age and eliminates the need for expensive reference books. For many of us, our world revolves around our jobs, our homes, our finances or who wins or loses in the political arena and we fail to see what is happening in World History as it relates to Bible Prophecy. Sir Issac Newton said" About the Time of the End, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation in the midst of much clamor and opposition" Bible Student.com has adapted the Life of Christ college course by Ward R. Williams, Ph. D. University of Minnesota and related it to World History and Bible Prophecy in order for you to learn vital accurate information about End Time Events found in the Book of Revelation, the Prophecies given to Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah and the words of Jesus himself. This amazing book will acquaint you with Satan's rebellion and the origin of sin, followed by the fall of mankind, the history of civilization beginning with the Garden of Eden, the origin of writing, civil law and the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza leading up to the Flood. After the Flood, Noah's great grandson, Nimrod, built the Tower of Babel and defied God to send another Flood. He and his wife established the first false religious system called the Babylon MYSTERY Religion. Then God's judgement came upon Sodom and Gomorrah, the Exodus, the Giving of the Law, theTabernacle of God, Rock Moriah on the Temple Mount ( now called "the Dome of the Rock" ) the founding of Jerusalem, the building of Solomon's Temple, later destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar of Iraq. In Iraq, Daniel interpreted King Nebuchadnezzar's vision of five World Empires starting with the Babylonian Empire, and ending 2500 years later with the European Union. We move to God's Temple rebuilt by Cyrus the Great of Iran, Ezekiel's plans for the future Millennial Temple, the boundaries of the Land Promised to Abraham, the Rapture, and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, The Great Tribulation, the Battle of Armageddon at the second coming of Jesus, the Millennium, the New Heavens and the New Earth.

The Race Beat

The Press, the Civil Rights Struggle, and the Awakening of a Nation (Pulitzer Prize Winner)

By: Gene Roberts,Hank Klibanoff

An unprecedented examination of how news stories, editorials and photographs in the American press—and the journalists responsible for them—profoundly changed the nation’s thinking about civil rights in the South during the 1950s and ‘60s. Roberts and Klibanoff draw on private correspondence, notes from secret meetings, unpublished articles, and interviews to show how a dedicated cadre of newsmen—black and white—revealed to a nation its most shameful shortcomings that compelled its citizens to act. Meticulously researched and vividly rendered, The Race Beat is an extraordinary account of one of the most calamitous periods in our nation’s history, as told by those who covered it.

Backstage with God

Reconciling Science to the Genesis Creation from a Christ Centered Point of View

By: Gene P Maxwell

Mr. Maxwell was born in 1939 growing up in Seattle Washington on the shores of Puget Sound a sailing capital in the Northwest. He was exposed to boating and music, playing the violin at an early age. During his early years he played symphony music at the University of Washington summer music program. In his younger years he was exposed to Biblical teaching through his grandparents and grew to trust and love God, but it wasn’t until 30 years later that he made the decision to become a follower of Christ. He attended a number of colleges, studied electronic theory, educational psychology, various sciences and pastoral subjects. During those years he also taught subjects through his church, serving various positions including educational director and interim pastor. He began writing training programs and operational methods while working for ATT and applying that same ability to biblical explanations and church training courses. Backstage with God is his first full length book which he began in 2018. He is currently residing in North Carolina with his family. Genesis answers the basic question we have all asked ourselves, where did we come from? But it can be a difficult book to understand. Particularly the first few chapters in the book of Genesis which has been a problem for many people. Genesis says that God created the whole world in just 6 24hour days while science claims that it took at least 15 billion years. In Backstage with God, I offer another explanation based solely on science to explain how both science and Genesis are in complete agreement. Early in the 20 century Albert Einstein developed his theory of relativity which has been proven over and over to be true, that time is subject to both speed and gravity, and can be different depending on one’s perspective. Then, in 1965 two scientists at Bell laboratories discovered an electronic signal they called Cosmic Background Radiation CBR, that was ubiquitous throughout the universe and had been in existence since the big bang. Since that time both of these discoveries have led scientists to explain a phenomenon called time dilation, an accepted scientific anomaly which occurred during the early expansion of the universe.

Preaching Through the Christian Year: Year C

A Comprehensive Commentary on the Lectionary

By: Fred B. Craddock,John H. Hayes,Carl R. Holladay,Gene M. Tucker

This is the third and final volume in the comprehensive three-volume set of commentaries on all of the lectionary texts for Sunday reading (including the Psalms) and for special days in all communions, treating the readings for each year in a single volume. The three volumes are based on The Common Lectionary (1992) together with other readings kept in the Episcopal, Lutheran, and Roman Catholic churches. A complete index of texts is included in each volume, making it useful for those who do not follow the lectionary or who are looking for commentaries on specific texts. Continuing acclaim for the series - "There is no better one-volume resource for the weekly task of preparing sermons grounded in biblical faith. Over the course of the past year, the four authors have become my good and trusted friends as they helped me find something to say that is both lively and true to the text." -The Rev. Barbara Brown Taylor, Grace-Calvary Episcopal Church, Clarkesville, Georgia "Simply put, the best commentary series on the best lectionary. An unusual blend of biblical and homiletical skills." -James F. White, Professor of Liturgy, University of Notre Dame "Its exegeses are well written and extremely helpful in preparing sermons. I and my congregation are appreciative of this source. I look forward to reading the next volume in the series, and in the meantime I find myself continuing to browse through, study, reflect upon, write in the margins of, and otherwise use the previous volume." -The Rev. Rebecca L. Spencer, Central Congregational Church, Providence, Rhode Island "Professors Craddock, Hayes, Holladay, and Tucker have already established themselves as insightful and helpful interpreters of the scriptures. These volumes significantly broaden their previous contributions by embracing all the alternatives offered by the recent revision of The Common Lectionary. The publishing values - the convenience of a single volume, a binding that lays flat, and clear, readable type - make this an indispensable addition or replacement for the preacher's library." -The Rev. Patrick J. Willson, St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church, Fort Worth, Texas The authors of the outstanding series teach at Candler School of Theology, Emory University. All have published extensively in their respective fields of endeavors: Fred B. Craddock, Professor of Preaching and New Testament; John H Hayes, Professor of Old Testament; Carl R. Holladay, Professor of New Testament; Gene M. Tucker, Professor of Old Testament.

The Synod of the West

A History of the Presbyterian German Synod of the West and Its Churches

By: H. Gene Straatmeyer

In the mid 19th century many Germans migrated to the Midwestern United States. Many of them were influenced by the Reformation as well as the theology of John Calvin. When many of them settled in Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota, Adrian Van Vliet, a minister of First Presbyterian Church in Dubuque, Iowa made it his mission to train ministers for these new immigrants. Out of this effort came the University of Dubuque and the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. A second result was the banding together of 85 churches who formed the German speaking Synod of the West under the authority of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA). For nearly 47 years these churches reached out to the new immigrants and acted as an agent of change to not only evangelize them but also to introduce them into the American way of life and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) This is the story of that 47 year journey, from 1912 1959. Layout and Photographs by Jean E. Straatmeyer

Aftermath of Defeat

By: Gene Killion

Captain Will Cole, late of the Confederate army—and an ex-Texas Ranger prior to the war—is released from a Union prisoner of war camp along with about a hundred other rebels. A stopover in Dallas results in meeting and being hired by a seemingly upscale family, the Clayhorns from Tennessee, to guide their party and four heavily loaded Conestogas to farmland purchased by them near San Pecos. While still in Dallas, attempts are made on the lives of the Clayhorns by four would-be assassins who are then killed by Cole. Later, during the trip west, Will senses something wrong with the Clayhorns’ demeanor, but is distracted by a trio of thugs dogging their trail. When he confronts the thugs, Cole recognizes the three as a familiar old outlaw and his two equally evil sons. He and Frank Clayhorn disarm the men and take them to the sheriff in Cleburne. Things get murkier from there. One Clayhorn turns out to be a traitor to the South. Another Clayhorn is later accused of having helped finance the assassination of President Lincoln. After Cole and party reach Ft. Stockton, the climax encompasses the essence of the Texas Frontier at that time. Northern and Southern Comanches, Apaches, and Kiowas--all natural enemies of each other--act as one to attack the fort!

Vox Petri

A Theology of Peter

By: Gene L. Green

Peter stands at the beginning of Christian theology. Christianity’s central confessions regarding the person of Jesus, the cross, salvation, the inclusive nature of the people of God, and the end of all things come to us through the apostle who was not only the church’s leader but also its first theologian. Peter is the apostle for the whole church and the whole church resonates with his theology. We sing his song, though we may not have glanced at the bottom of the page in the hymnbook to see who wrote the words and composed the tune. Peter is the “lost boy” of Christian theology, a person overlooked as a theological innovator and pillar, but his rightful place is at the head of the table. If we look closely, however, we may recognize that he has been seated there all along.

Altered Destinies

Making Life Better for Schoolchildren in Need

By: Gene I. Maeroff

In Altered Destinies, Gene Maeroff poses important questions about what is needed to equalize the tremendous imbalance between the education received by middle to upper class children and the education received by lower class children. He argues that, in addition to greater financial investment in their schools, lower class children must possess a strong support system--what he refers to as "social capital"--which emphasizes four areas: a sense of connectedness, a sense of well-being, a sense of academic initiative, and a sense of knowing. Maeroff builds a compelling case for how and why the concept of social capital will make a difference in the effort to improve opportunities for disadvantaged schoolchildren.

Raman Spectroscopy in Graphene Related Systems

By: Ado Jorio,Mildred S. Dresselhaus,Riichiro Saito,Gene Dresselhaus

Raman spectroscopy is the inelastic scattering of light by matter. Being highly sensitive to the physical and chemical properties of materials, as well as to environmental effects that change these properties, Raman spectroscopy is now evolving into one of the most important tools for nanoscience and nanotechnology. In contrast to usual microscopyrelated techniques, the advantages of using light for nanoscience relate to both experimental and fundamental aspects.

The Call of the Awe

Rediscovering Christian Profundity in an Interreligious Era

By: Gene Marshall

Why do we do religion? Religion appears in human life because every human being, even if not fully aware of it, lives in a land of mystery with rushing rivers of freedom, imposing mountains of care, and wild seas of tranquility. This land of mystery penetrates the land of ordinary living at every point. Awe is our experience of this ever-present Eternity. This book is about how the Awe that is happening in our everyday lives is key to understanding both the renewal of Christianity and the need for non-bigoted dialogue among all religions on Earth.

Audio App Daily Devotion

By: Mearl La Gene Martin III

Audio App Daily Devotional is the complete Bible. We have removed the verse numbers from the text itself, which gives an almost poetic feel to the Scriptures as you read, while maintaining the chapter and verse references ahead of each day's portion of Scripture. This enables you to reference and study the Scriptures in a more in-depth manner. Inside you will find an average of twenty-three New Testament verses, seven Psalms verses, three Proverbs verses, and fifty-five Old Testament verses per day. While I never recommend rushing through your time with our Lord, I felt it important to make each day's readings and portions as equal as possible, allowing you to set times throughout the day for reading in order to regroup or refocus on your task at hand. Look for and expect to hear from our Lord. Look for God to move in your life more and more as you draw closer to Him daily.

The Passover Mystery

How the Cross Creates a New Human

By: Gene Tempelmeyer

The cross remains the most familiar symbol of Christianity and the church, so common it is easy to forget it recalls one of the most vicious forms of execution devised. Perhaps an electric chair at the peak of our steeples would say to us what the cross said to the first believers. Why did Christ have to suffer in such a brutal death? Did Jesus die on a cross because God is angry and violent, or because we are angry and violent? How does the cross create the possibility of a new kind of humanity ready for a new kind of world? What does the cross have to say about racial, economic, gender, and other human divisions? How does the cross offer forgiveness and end our shame, thereby freeing us from the wounds life has inflicted on us? What lessons does the cross teach about sharing life in community with others? Very early in Christian history the idea of “The Pascal Mystery” entered the liturgy and thought of the church. Incorporating the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ into one broad act by which we are reconciled with God, the Passover (Pascha) Mystery identifies the execution of Jesus with the Passover Lamb rather than the lamb sacrificed as a sin offering on the Day of Atonement. The Passover Lamb represents the obedience to God which nourishes and sustains God’s people on their journey to freedom and wholeness.

Great Hollywood Wit

A Glorious Cavalcade of Hollywood Wisecracks, Zingers, Japes, Quips, Slings, Jests, Snappers, & Sass from the Stars

By: Gene Shalit

Great Hollywood Wit rollicks with hilarious movie lines and backstage zingers-smart, tart, and (in Sir John Gielgud's case) wicked: "Ingrid Bergman speaks five languages and can't act in any of them." Julia Roberts, fashion buff: "I only put clothes on so that I'm not naked when I go out shopping." Retiring Burt Reynolds: "You can only hold your stomach in for so many years." Great Hollywood Wit is an unequaled cavalcade of hilarity that you'll laugh through again and again. A wonderful one-of-a-kind gift.

Jock Mahoney

The Life and Films of a Hollywood Stuntman

By: Gene Freese

Iowa-born Jock Mahoney was an elite athlete and U.S. Marines fighter pilot prior to falling into a film career. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest stuntmen in movie history, having taken leaps and bounds for Errol Flynn, John Wayne, Randolph Scott, and Gregory Peck. One of the first stuntmen to successfully move into acting, he was the popular star of the 1950s television westerns Range Rider and Yancy Derringer and twice played Tarzan on the big screen, presenting a memorable portrayal of an educated, articulate and mature jungle lord true to author Edgar Rice Burroughs' original vision. Filming in real jungles around the world took a physical toll on Mahoney that transformed him from leading man to burly character actor. He had to overcome the effects of a stroke but true to his tough guy nature rose above it to resume his life's many adventures. Mahoney was beloved by fans at conventions and appearances until his untimely demise in 1989 from a stroke-caused motor vehicle accident.
