In the past, if a Native American tribe had a bad or evil chief, a warrior was chosen to do away with him... To Kill him! The warrior chosen wasn’t always the fastest or best, but rather a Brave who had little or no reason to kill the chief. Often it was a friend or relative of the chief who was chosen. The Indigenous people did not take a life wantonly, but only after serious consideration, and then, only after all other solutions were exhausted.

The Complete History of American Film Criticism

By: Jerry Roberts

The Complete History of American Film Criticism is a chronicle of the lives and work of the most influential film critics of the past 100 years. From the first movie review in the New York Times in 1896 through the Silent Era, the pre- and postwar years, the Film Generation of the 1960s, the Golden Age of the 1970s, and into the 21st century, critics have educated generations of discriminating moviegoers on the differences between good films and bad. They call attention to great directors, cinematographers, production designers, screenwriters, and actors, and shed light on their artistic visions and storytelling sensibilities. People interested in what the great film critics had to say have usually been shortchanged as to their backgrounds, and just why they are qualified to sit in judgment. Using mini-biographies, placed within a chronological framework, The Complete History of American Film Criticism is the biography of a profession whose cultural impact has left an indelible mark on the 20th century’s most significant art form.

The Witness

By: Nora Roberts

In her stunning 200th novel, #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts proves why no one is better “when it comes to flawlessly fusing high-stakes suspense with red-hot romance" (Booklist, starred review). Daughter of a cold, controlling mother and an anonymous donor, studious, obedient Elizabeth Fitch finally let loose one night, drinking too much at a nightclub and allowing a strange man’s seductive Russian accent to lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. Twelve years later, the woman now known as Abigail Lowery lives alone on the outskirts of a small town in the Ozarks. A freelance security systems designer, her own protection is supplemented by a fierce dog and an assortment of firearms. She keeps to herself, saying little, revealing nothing. Unfortunately, that seems to be the quickest way to get attention in a tiny southern town. The mystery of Abigail Lowery and her sharp mind, secretive nature and unromantic viewpoint intrigues local police chief Brooks Gleason, on both a personal and professional level. And while he suspects that Abigail needs protection from something, Gleason is accustomed to two-bit troublemakers, not the powerful and dangerous men who are about to have him in their sights. And Abigail Lowery, who has built a life based on security and self-control, is at risk of losing both.

A Warrior's Heart

By: Leigh Ann Roberts

He loved her from the first moment he saw her, and he knew that it would be his destiny to take care of her always. She was intrigued by him at first sight and wondered what place he would have in her life. Neither of them could know, however, what their lives would hold as the Arapaho warrior and the beautiful fair-skinned pioneer discovered each other amid the cruel realities of the westward expansion. Their nations were at war, their people were mortal enemies, and yet, they fell in love. He became her strength. She became his hope. Together they found a life of love despite their enemies, a place of peace despite the world around them, a united faith in God despite the differences of their heritage, and a hope for the future despite the ignorances of their day. He found in her the love of a woman. She found in him the love of a Warrior's Heart.

The Bat/Bab, a Sub-Deb

By: Mary Roberts Rinehart

Volume 6 of The Essential Rinehart Collection presents two very special works of Mary Roberts Rinehart. “The Bat” is an adaptation of a Broadway play written in conjunction with Avery Hopwood. Considered Mary’s finest work to date, the novel is based in part on her first work, “The Circular Staircase.” Someone--or something--is trying to frighten Cornelia Van Gorder to death! But the plucky woman doesn't scare easily. In fact, she's always longed to play detective. Until she stumbles on a corpse one storm-swept night, and realizes she's involved in a deadly game with an elusive killer known as The Bat. Also included in this volume is the rare and long out-of-print “Bab, A Sub-Deb.” The author’s most experimental work presents a first-hand account of a writing assignment (the typos are intentional) that leads to tragedy and murder.

Evangelical Gotham

Religion and the Making of New York City, 1783-1860

By: Kyle B. Roberts

At first glance, evangelical and Gotham seem like an odd pair. What does a movement of pious converts and reformers have to do with a city notoriously full of temptation and sin? More than you might think, says Kyle B. Roberts, who argues that religion must be considered alongside immigration, commerce, and real estate scarcity as one of the forces that shaped the New York City we know today. In Evangelical Gotham, Roberts explores the role of the urban evangelical community in the development of New York between the American Revolution and the Civil War. As developers prepared to open new neighborhoods uptown, evangelicals stood ready to build meetinghouses. As the city’s financial center emerged and solidified, evangelicals capitalized on the resultant wealth, technology, and resources to expand their missionary and benevolent causes. When they began to feel that the city’s morals had degenerated, evangelicals turned to temperance, Sunday school, prayer meetings, antislavery causes, and urban missions to reform their neighbors. The result of these efforts was Evangelical Gotham—a complicated and contradictory world whose influence spread far beyond the shores of Manhattan. Winner of the 2015 Dixon Ryan Fox Manuscript Prize from the New York State Historical Association

The Great American Playwrights on the Screen

A Critical Guide to Film, Video, and DVD

By: Jerry Roberts

The profound expansion of television into American homes in the 1950s brought a flood of adapted plays to the small screen and resulted in the rebirth of the careers of many significant playwrights. The Great American Playwrights on the Screen provides fans with a video and DVD guide to the adapted works of the playwrights and shows which versions are available for home viewing and in what media (VHS and DVD). It resurrects the memory of television productions of plays at a critical time, when many of them - including Emmy winners and nominees - are deteriorating in vaults."--BOOK JACKET.

28 Carols to Sing at Christmas

By: John M. Mulder,F. Morgan Roberts

It wouldn't be Christmas without Christmas carols. Virtually every Christian--and many non-Christians--would agree. The songs of Christmas can be heard from all kinds of media and all across the world in many languages. Christmas has become the biggest holiday in the United States and in virtually every land where Christianity has a significant influence. But what does it all mean? What is the enduring message of these Christmas carols? Why do they awaken the mind, move the heart, and inspire the Christlike behavior proclaimed by Jesus, born in Bethlehem? 28 Carols to Sing at Christmas answers those questions. Each carol's history is described by John M. Mulder, and F. Morgan Roberts meditates on its contemporary meaning. The result is a devotional resource that will make your Christmas a spiritual discovery. Here is a book to bring meaning to the mystery of Christ's birth and a message for all the world.
