The Design of Rhetoric

By: Sam Dragga,Gwendolyn Gong

This book is intended to familiarize readers with the theoretical basis and practical applications of the editing process. This involves the examination of the rhetorical canons-invention, arrangement, style, delivery; and the corresponding rhetorical objectives of editing - accuracy, clarity, propriety, and artistry. We envision a diverse audience for this book. For aspiring editors, we offer an introduction to rhetorical principles as a vehicle for developing a repertoire of theoretically sound and effective strategies. For professionals-directors of communications, public relations specialists, experienced writers and editors of professional and technical publications - this book will serve as a reference and guide reinforcing their intuitive understanding and appreciation of the art of editing.

So You Think You've Been Called to be a Pastor?

Pastoring 101 (Encouragement for New Pastors) Inspired words. A workbook. A journal.

By: Gwendolyn Wheeler

So You Think You've Been Called to Be a Pastor?: Pastoring 101 is a workbook primarily written for new pastors and ministers who think they have been called to be a pastor. Yet seasoned pastors can benefit from this book as well. Someone said that 50 percent of new pastors give up after their first year. In my humblest opinion, many who feel they are called to be a pastor have never been properly mentored. They are not prepared for the various seasons that will take place within their ministry. Someone needs to tell them about pastoral fluctuations: the bitters and the sweets, the unpredictability of membership and finances, betrayals, apathy, childishness, and the perpetual delays that come with growing a church. By writing this workbook, I have officially accepted the assignment to be that someone. In this age of mega churches with multi-million dollar programs, it is easy for pastors of small churches to feel like failures; we don't measure up. This workbook provides practical information to help pastors successfully navigate through various pastoral seasons. This workbook is divided into fourteen sections. A few sections are: "What to Expect as a New Pastor," "The Danger of Being a Carbon Copy of Someone Else's Ministry," "What Do You Do When the Pews Are Not Full," and "Members Say and Do the Strangest Things." At the end of each section, there is a "Fireside Chat." Various questions will be asked, and I invite you to daily RELAX: R - Rest and renew, E - Eat healthy foods, L - Laugh a lot, A - Ask God (pray always), and X - Xercise your body and mind. There is also a space provided called "My Journal." Write whatever you want. This is a practical handbook that should be given to every new pastor.

A Short History of Film

By: Wheeler Winston Dixon,Gwendolyn Audrey Foster

A Short History of Film, Second Edition, provides a concise and accurate overview of the history of world cinema, detailing the major movements, directors, studios, and genres from 1896 through 2012. Accompanied by more than 250 rare color and black-and-white stills—including many from recent films—the new edition is unmatched in its panoramic view, conveying a sense of cinema's sweep in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries as it is practiced in the United States and around the world. Wheeler Winston Dixon and Gwendolyn Audrey Foster present new and amended coverage of the industry in addition to updating the birth and death dates and final works of notable directors. Their expanded focus on key films brings the book firmly into the digital era and chronicles the death of film as a production medium. The book takes readers through the invention of the kinetoscope, the introduction of sound and color between the two world wars, and ultimately the computer-generated imagery of the present day. It details significant periods in world cinema, including the early major industries in Europe, the dominance of the Hollywood studio system in the 1930s and 1940s, and the French New Wave of the 1960s. Attention is given to small independent efforts in developing nations and the more personal independent film movement that briefly flourished in the United States, the significant filmmakers of all nations, and the effects of censorship and regulation on production everywhere. In addition, the authors incorporate the stories of women and other minority filmmakers who have often been overlooked in other texts. Engaging and accessible, this is the best one-stop source for the history of world film available for students, teachers, and general audiences alike.

The Prayor: One Who Prays

A Yearlong Daily Journal

By: Gwendolyn Carole Tipton

Gwendolyn Carole Tipton has done a hard, painful task of finding many beautiful Bible verses and creating honest, lovely prayers to go with them. The breadth of the prayers may inspire you to write from your heart. The Bible verses and prayers are in keeping with Philippians 4:6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. All of the Bible verses were taken from the Holy Bible, New International Version, Womens Devotional Bible (Zondervan, 1994). There are 365 Bible verses and prayers that will encourage you to pen your journal of prayers at your pace, whether you write daily or weekly. Make this book last a year or several years by dating and writing when you choose. Each Bible verse and prayer serves as a prompt to write your personal prayers. The journal writings begin with guide words: Bless, Help me to, Forgive me for, and Thank you for. These guide words keep your meditation spiritual and in keeping with your feelings and needs at that moment. It works like a daily communication with God, and it takes only a few minutes to read His Word, view a brief prayer of no more than forty words to nudge you to feel his presence and endure the challenges ahead. Edna, Louise, and Barbara Jean, her grandmother, mother, and aunt, respectively, were her original prayer warriors. They defined The Prayor: One Who Prays continually.

King of Egypt, King of Dreams

By: Gwendolyn MacEwen

The Insomniac Library is proud to reissue Gwendolyn MacEwen's second novel, more than thirty years after its original appearance in 1971. The novel bears important resemblances to MacEwen's earlier Julian the Magician. Writing to poet Al Purdy, MacEwen confessed she wanted her second novel to be ''bulky, readable, and not overly mysterious.'' Unlike in Julian, however, here MacEwen sets out to write a deeply serious novel that also functions as entertaining historical fiction. The novel's hero is Akhenaton, Pharaoh of Egypt's Eighteenth Dynasty, who was the first ruler to introduce the idea of monotheism. As Rosemary Sullivan remarks in her biography of MacEwen, he was, like Julian, ''one more human being filled with the god-lust.'' Akhenaton's single-mindedness in his quest for his own brand of reason is a powerfully paradoxical distillation of the artistic temperament: originality, fertility and beauty set against death and despair and an inability to love.

Gems from Gwen

Poems for All Ages and Occasions

By: Gwendolyn Wood Tisdale

I have been writing since 1984. My strong feelings for mankind, our young especially, and the evil that confront us today, created within me the inspiration to write poetry. I use the magic of words to captivate, inspire, activate, and stimulate the thought process. Through poetry I am able to release my inner feelings and emotions and by sharing, create a stimulus that arouses sensitivity in the listener/reader. I pray you will enjoy these words of wisdom from the Heavenly Father, penned by His servant. Gwendolyn Wood-Tisdale

Women Film Directors

An International Bio-Critical Dictionary

By: Gwendolyn A. Foster

Until now, there hasn't been one single-volume authoritative reference work on the history of women in film, highlighting nearly every woman filmmaker from the dawn of cinema including Alice Guy (France, 1896), Chantal Akerman (Belgium), Penny Marshall (U.S.), and Sally Potter (U.K.). Every effort has been made to include every kind of woman filmmaker: commercial and mainstream, avant-garde, and minority, and to give a complete cross-section of the work of these remarkable women. Scholars and students of film, popular culture, Women's Studies, and International Studies, as well as film buffs will learn much from this work. The Dictionary covers the careers of nearly 200 women filmmakers, giving vital statistics where available, listings of films directed by these women, and selected bibliographies for further reading. This is a one-volume, one-stop resource, a comprehensive, up-to-date guide that is absolutely essential for any course offering an overview or survey of women's cinema. It offers not only all available statistics, but critical evaluations of the filmmakers' work as well. In order to keep the length manageable, this volume focuses on women who direct fictional narrative films, with occasional forays into the area of the documentary and is limited to film production rather than video production.

Film Quotations

11,000 Lines Spoken on Screen, Arranged by Subject, and Indexed

By: Robert A. Nowlan,Gwendolyn W. Nowlan

Certain lines define a movie. Marlene Dietrich in Morocco: "Anyone who has faith in me is a sucker." Too, there are lines that fit actor and character. Mae West in I'm No Angel: "I'm very quick in a slow way." Jane Fonda in California Suite: "Fit? You think I look fit? What an awful shit you are. I look gorgeous." From the classics to the grade-B slasher movies, over 11,000 quotes are arranged by over 900 subjects, like accidents, double entendres, eyes (and other body parts!), ice cream, luggage, parasites, and ugliness. Each quote gives the movie title, production company, year of release, speaker of the line, and, when appropriate, a comment putting the quote in context.
