Provincializing the Bible

Faulkner and Postsecular American Literature

By: Norman Jones

Why, in our supposedly secular age, does the Bible feature prominently in so many influential and innovative works of contemporary U.S. literature? More pointedly, why would a book indelibly allied with a long history of institutionalized oppressions play a supporting role—and not simply as an object of critique—in a wide variety of landmark literary representations of marginalized subjectivities? The answers to these questions go beyond mere playful re-appropriations or subversive resignifications of biblical themes, figures, and forms. This book shows how certain contemporary authors invoke the Bible in ways that undermine clear distinctions between "subversive" and "traditional"—indeed, that undermine clear distinctions between "secular" and "sacred." By tracing a key source of such complex literary invocations of the Bible back to William Faulkner’s major novels, Provincializing the Bible argues that these literary works, which might be termed postsecular, ironically provincialize the Bible as a means of reevaluating and revalorizing its significance in contemporary American culture.

The Fine Art of Mentoring

Passing on to Others What God Has Given to You

By: Ted W. Engstrom,Norman B. Rohrer

Who has been the most influential person in your life? Was it a school teacher? An uncle? A parent? A grandmother? A minister? An employer? A coach? Whoever it was, your reason for choosing this person probably had more to do with who they 'were' and how they 'lived', than how they looked or what they owned. What you experienced was the result of this significant person's ability to model inspiring qualities and communicate those qualities to you. How did they do it? What were the ingredients that enabled them to teach so effectively? Down through the centuries, students have learned through careful observation from those more experienced. Apprentices have learned from craftsmen who took them by the hand. Amateurs emulated professionals. Disciples studied masters. As one who has been profoundly influenced by skilled leaders and who has, in turn, motivated many others, Ted Engstrom could be aptly described as a mentor's mentor. In this book, Ted Engstrom will introduce to you the idea of mentoring. As a leader, you'll learn that mentoring represents the difference between talking and doing as a student, you'll learn from the master's performance as well as his prose.

Ecological Silviculture

Foundations and Applications

By: Brian J. Palik,Anthony W. D'Amato,Jerry F. Franklin,K. Norman Johnson

Classical silviculture has often emphasized timber models, fundamentally based in production agriculture. This books presents silvicultural methods based in natural forest models—models that emulate natural disturbances and development processes, sustain biological legacies, and allow time to take its course in shaping stands. These methods, dubbed “ecological forestry,” have been successfully implemented by foresters for decades managing a wide variety of forestlands. Ecological silvicultural strategies protect threatened and rare species, sustain biological diversity, and provide habitat for game and non-game species, all while providing timber in profitable ways.

Women of Diversity

By: Dr. Brenda J. Norman

Co-Contributors: Rosetta Johnson, Evangelist Carolyn Mackey-Perry, Gail McPherson Mizell, Minister Rosiemariea Thomas, and TaNina. Simmons Women of Diversity is book about strength, courage, faith, deliverance, and overcomers. It is a compilation of testimonies recommended for women of all ages. However, this book is highly recommended for the “significant others” of women. In this eloquently, well-written book, eight women from different walks of life come together with one common bond which is their love for God and a commitment to empower and encourage all women to recognize that they too, are God’s beautiful Queens. Each chapter of this heart-warming and self-revealing book will render the reader speechless and misty-eyed. From the opening chapter to the final word on the last page, the reader will be on the edge of his or her seat with jaws dropped and asking, “How did this person survive all of this?” In her very own unique and courageous way, each author in Women of Diversity braves the tears, hurt, pain, embarrassment, and shame. They all went back in time and revisit a dark and traumatic period of their lives in hopes of being able to help another woman today to heal and get her breakthrough.

Ton-Up Lancs

A Photographic History of the Thirty-Five RAF Lancasters that Each Completed One Hundred Sorties

By: Norman Franks

An updated and expanded photographic history of the famed military aircraft—and the men who flew them. Aviation historian Norman Franks updates his classic book, The Lancaster, with new information and photos. The Avro Lancaster was a four-engine heavy bomber that played a crucial role in World War II, and this illustrated volume records the history of thirty-five of them, supported by stories from aircrew members. The most famous of the bombers is “Queenie” (W5868), the only one of these Lancasters that survives, now in the Bomber Command Hall at the Royal Air Force Museum in London. Ton-Up Lancs delves into some of the controversies surrounding Queenie and other Lancasters, and also includes detailed listings of each raid these thirty-five Lancasters flew during from 1942 through 1945, together with the names of the pilot and crew that took them on sorties all over Hitler’s Third Reich and Northern Italy, on support missions before and after D-Day in June 1944, and attacks on V1 rocket launch sites situated in Northern France. The book also offers a view from one of the Lancaster’s former skippers on what it was like to fly a bomber tour of operations in Bomber Command.
