Journey of the Messiah

The Awakening

By: Harry L. Whitt

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Journey of the Messiah—The Awakening is written from a first-person point of view, as if Jesus is telling His story. The life of the Son of God is told from before His incarnation in eternity, through His young life, and into His journey from the wilderness temptation to Galilee. The story holds closely to the biblical accounts recorded in the Bible for this thirty-year portion of His life. While little is recorded of the early years, much of the journey is left to our imagination. Such moments of His departure from Heaven, conception, and Awakening to His Messiahship are shared in this book. In these pages, the personal experiences of the Son of God, as the Son of Man, are explored and pondered. Come and take this journey in the sandals of Jesus the Messiah; experience His life, listen to His voice, and hear the beat of His heart from the glories of Heaven to the dusty roads of Earth.

The Currents of Lethal Violence

An Integrated Model of Suicide and Homicide

By: N. Prabha Unnithan,Lin Huff-Corzine,Jay Corzine,Hugh P. Whitt

Building on past work, the authors outline an integrated model for linking suicide and homicide and show how that research from this perspective can further our understanding of violence. Specifically, they show that research based on this model provides new insights into how structural and cultural factors combine to produce high homicide levels in the American South and cross-national difference in lethal violence rates. In conclusion, they evaluate the model's utility, address possible criticisms of this perspective, and suggest avenues for further investigations of lethal violence.

Oscar's Treasure

By: Jerry Whitt

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Oscar's Treasure

By: Jerry Whitt

Oscar's Treasure is a story of real-world conflicts that occurred in Texas and numerous other Western states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The land had been cleared of bison, and Indians had been removed to reservations. It appeared that nothing could stand in the way of newly formed ranches and farms. However, there were problems. Rustlers. Incompetent and corrupt local law officers. Ranchers were forced to protect themselves. However, they did not really know how to do so. They formed alliances that often themselves became corrupt. Oscar's Treasure is the story of one such corrupt alliance: the Norwood Mob. Many people died in the conflict between the Mob and local ranchers, a criminal organization that local ranchers could not defeat. Maybe the Texas Rangers could.

Grunts

The American Combat Soldier in Vietnam

By: Kyle Longley,Jacqueline Whitt

Now in its second edition, Grunts: The American Combat Soldier in Vietnam provides a fresh approach to understanding the American combat soldier’s experience in Vietnam by focusing on the day-to-day experiences of front-line troops. The book delves into the Vietnam combat soldier’s experience, from the decision to join the army, life in training and combat, and readjusting to civilian life with memories of war. By utilizing letters, oral histories, and memoirs of actual veterans, Kyle Longley and Jacqueline Whitt offer a powerful insight into the minds and lives of the 870,000 "grunts" who endured the controversial war. Important topics such as class, race, and gender are examined, enabling students to better analyze the social dynamics during this divisive period of American history. In addition to an updated introduction and epilogue, the new edition includes expanded sections on military chaplains, medics, and the moral injury of war. A new timeline provides details of major events leading up to, during, and after the war. A truly comprehensive picture of the Vietnam experience for soldiers, this volume is a valuable and unique addition to military history courses and classes on the Vietnam War and 1960s America.

The Book of Shmu'el

A new translation

By: William Whitt

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Book of Shmu'el

A new translation

By: William Whitt

This translation has two purposes. One is to demonstrate how the Hebrew of Tanakh is best translated—that is to say, into a vigorous and dynamic English that recreates for the English-speaking reader an equivalent experience to that of the reader of the original Hebrew. For the authors of Tanakh, Hebrew was a living language—the language of their everyday speech. A faithful translation into English, then, should bring over the Hebrew into the English that is spoken and written by English speakers of today. The second purpose of this translation is to bring to life the stories of Samuel, Saul, and David (or, as I refer to them in my translation, Shmu’el, Sha’ul and Dawid) so that their literary merit may more easily be appreciated by those who don’t read ancient Hebrew. These stories are among the outstanding examples of literature from the ancient world, and are worthy of being read and appreciated on their own as literature, regardless of whether one views them as scripture. This translation is unique in a number of ways. First, it is the only English translation that respects the role of the ancient literary divisions—the parashot petuhot and parashot setumot. Removing the medieval chapter divisions as I have done and displaying the text according to the ancient literary divisions greatly enhances the narrative flow and reveals numerous dramatic effects that are invisible in translations which are organized according to the medieval chapter divisions. Second, this translation prioritizes “dynamic equivalence” far more than other English translations. As a result, it is superior to other English translations in capturing the energy and vibrancy of the prose in Shmu'el. Uniquely among ancient Hebrew prose, the principal author of Shmu'el strove to represent the spoken Hebrew. Nearly all the dialogue is written in a colloquial style full of idiomatic language; a faithful translation then must reflect this with colloquial and idiomatic English. Lastly, the translation is illustrated with representations from the Megiddo Ivories dating the 13th century BCE. The use of ancient art to illustrate the text allows the modern reader to get closer to how the original audience might have imagined the action in the text as they were reading or hearing it for the first time.

Oberlin, Ohio - 1863 With the words of Fredrick Douglas’ “Men of Color to Arms” burning inside him, Ephrem Morgan is set to marry his wife, Elizabeth. Although a runaway slave from Maryland Elizabeth does not agree with Ephrem’s desire to join the war effort. The college educated farmhand accompanies Hayes Turner, a long-time abolitionist himself and father figure to Ephrem, on a trip to nearby Cleveland for a Unionist rally where Ephrem decides to enlist. He quickly earns battle experience in the Battle of Grimball’s Landing and the Second Battle of Fort Wagner leading Ephrem to rise through the ranks from a green private to a member of a secret guerrilla unit under the command of disgraced General Benjamin Henry-Jacobs.

Riding for the Brand

The Power of Purposeful Leadership

By: Jim Whitt

Riding for the Brand is a western that's set in the future. It's a short novel about leadership, human motivation and change. The story revolves around two men: Bob Fooshee, a freelance writer, and Burns Marcus, a rancher who builds a business empire. The year is 2030, and Fooshee is dispatched by a magazine to write about Marcus, whose ranch was near bankruptcy 25 years earlier. It was then that Marcus, searching for answers, attended the cattlemen's convention in San Antonio and heard a speaker who provoked him to radically change the way he approached his business. This was the catalyst that led Marcus to start Diamond Enterprises, which becomes the model organization of the 21st century. While interviewing Burns at his ranch in Oklahoma, Bob rides pasture, ropes a few steers and discovers the key to Burns Marcus' success - the power of purposeful leadership.

Never Give Up

116116Marriage—such a beautiful and lovely institution ordained by God. When we think of marriage, we think forever. We believe we will stand together raising our children, loving each other, and growing as one. We build, we plan. We believe that the only challenges that we will encounter will be when our children are older and when we are older as well. What happens when the unthinkable occurs? No, not infidelity. Not death. But a savage beast with stealth movement. This beast would rock Roy and Anne Whitt from the core of their foundation—the foundation that had been strengthened through fervent prayer and erected out of God's glory.This story was likened to a Job experience! This is the story of their lives. The story that would test the vows spoken to be a lawfully wedded wife and husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do them part.They could not endure these trials without faith.For I am the Lord your Godwho takes hold of your right handand says to you, Do not fear;I will help you.—Isaiah 41:13 NIVAnd without faith it is impossible to please God.—Hebrews 11:6NEVER GIVE UPNEVER GIVE UP

But one night after the premier of her latest film, everything changes for Lola when she is involved in a devastating car crash that takes the life of her driver and leaves her fighting for her life. Lola awakens in the hospital, battered and badly scarred on her face. With her career now on hold, and her relationship with Roger on the brink, Lola wallows in self-pity and despair-until she stumbles upon a tattered letter from her sister, Maggie, who is running a small orphanage in France and wants her to visit. Lola travels to France to seek escape but is brought face-to-face with a complicated inward battle and the most important question she will ever answer. There is a Fountain is the tale of a successful Hollywood actress who embarks on a faith-driven journey to confront her eternal destiny after her life is turned upside down.

Burning Crosses and Activist Journalism

Hazel Brannon Smith and the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement

By: Jan Whitt

Burning Crosses and Activist Journalism: Hazel Brannon Smith and the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement celebrates the contributions of the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing (1964). Owner and publisher of four weekly newspapers in Mississippi, Smith began her journalism career as a states rights Dixiecrat and segregationist, but became an icon for progressive thought on racial and ethnic issues. Though befriended by editors such as Hodding Carter Jr. and Ira B. Harkey Jr., Smith was a target of the White Citizens' Council and was boycotted by advertisers. During the civil rights movement, a cross was burned in her yard and one of her newspaper offices was firebombed. Before her death in 1994, she endured foreclosure, memory loss, and public humiliation, but she never lost faith in journalism or in the power of informed debate.

God Is Just Love

Building Spiritual Resilience and Sustainable Communities for the Sake of Our Children and Creation

By: Ken Whitt

How can people of faith foster love and resilience in our children while building sustainable, diverse communities? That’s the big question Ken Whitt answers in light of the many threats looming in our world. Through wisdom he has gleaned from scientists, scholars and lots of real families, Ken shows how God’s love is a hopeful compass in our lives. He encourages enjoying stories, songs and explorations of the natural world with children, and closes with “100 Things Families Can Do To Find Hope and Be Love.” Because Ken has years of experience working with multi-generational groups, his book encourages reflections and activities with our families that he knows will be both fun and faithful. The cover of his book illustrates a central story he shares about the wonderment families discover when they look up into the starry night sky with their children. “Ken Whitt offers care to weary souls in this book. It is not just his words but the spirit that manifests through the words. Ken says that love is at the heart of reality and love is what he gently breathes on us here,” Christian ethicist David Gushee, author of Changing Our Mind, writes in the book’s Foreword. “As you read this wise and joyful book, I know you will feel both instructed and delighted, and you will agree that your life has been enriched by adopting Ken Whitt as a literary pastor, mentor and friend,” Brian McLaren, best-selling author of more than 20 books, writes in the Preface. “In extensive dialog with scientists and theologians, Ken shows the delightful and enriching complementarity of faith and science. Both can feed us mentally and emotionally, and both are needed to move us in constructive and creative ways in the face of the global perils we face,” writes Daniel Buttry, author of Blessed Are the Peacemakers and the former Global Consultant for Peace and Justice of the American Baptist Churches.

Women in American Journalism

A New History

By: Jan Whitt

Jan Whitt tells the stories of women who have been overlooked in journalism history, offering an important corrective to scholarship that narrowly focuses on the deeds of men like Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. She explores the lives of women reporters who achieved significant historical recognition, such as Ida Tarbell and Ida Wells-Barnett, as well as literary authors such as Joan Didion, Susan Orlean, Willa Cather, and Eudora Welty, whose work blends influences from both journalism and literature. This study shows how numerous women broadened the editorial scope of newspapers and journals, transformed women's professional roles, used journalism as a training ground for major literary works, and led breakthroughs in lesbian and alternative presses.

Through interviews with many key figures in a struggle for power at UGA over the last decade, Rich examines the controversial tenure of Michael Adams as UGA president, and how this controversy led to the unprecedented split between the Board of Regents and the UGA Foundation, with implications for the landscape of higher education funding nationwide.

Birds of the Middle San Pedro Valley of Southeast Arizona

Birds of the Middle San Pedro Valley of Southeast Arizona" offers a fresh and unique view of bird life that is both personal and engaging. Not long after retiring from his practice as a medical doctor, Michael Whitt desired to publish a book on the birds that he and his wife, Barbara, had photographed on their property along the San Pedro River in southeast Arizona. With a sharp eye, excellent observational skills, and a keen intellect characteristic of those in his profession, Whitt gives us an intimate portrait of avian life backed by more than eighty years of wisdom and decades of close, astute observations in the outdoors. The beautifully eloquent lines of poetry that complement the text reveal an author with the insights of a true naturalist and a genuine passion for the birds and the wild lands that they require to survive.

Settling the Borderland

Other Voices in Literary Journalism

By: Jan Whitt

Settling the Borderland deals with the intimate connection between journalism and literature, both fields in which work by women has been underrepresented. This book has a twin focus: the work of journalists who became some of the greatest novelists, poets, and short-story writers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in America, several of whom are men, and contemporary journalists who best exemplify the effective use of literary techniques in news coverage. Although five women are emphasized here (Katherine Anne Porter, Eudora Welty, Joan Didion, Sara Davidson, and Susan Orlean), three men whose work was profoundly influenced by journalism also are included. Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, and John Steinbeck are well known as writers of poetry, short stories, and novels, but they, too, are among the 'other voices' rarely included in studies of literary journalism. In Settling the Borderland, Jan Whitt presents a thorough analysis of the increasingly indistinct lines between truth and fiction and between fact and creative narrative in contemporary media.

Evidentiality and Perception Verbs in English and German

By: Richard J. Whitt

Evidentiality, the linguistic encoding of a speaker's or writer's evidence for an asserted proposition, has begun to receive serious attention from linguists only in the last quarter century. Much of this attention has focused on languages that encode evidentiality in the grammar, while much less interest has been shown in languages that express evidentiality through means other than inflectional morphology. In English and German, for instance, the verbs of perception - those verbs denoting sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste - are prime carriers of evidential meaning. This study surveys the most prominent of the perception verbs in English and German across all five sensory modalities and accounts for the range of evidential meanings by examining the general polysemy found among perception verbs, as well as the specific complementation patterns in which these verbs occur.

A Summer In Harlem

By: Brendan Whitt

Thad is your run of the mill fourteen year old from Beloit, Alabama in 1948. When his grandmother offers to send him to Harlem for the first three weeks of his summer break Thad is ecstatic. After all it is the birthplace of the Harlem Renaissance. All Thad knows about Harlem is Jazz music and Langston Hughes. When Thad finally gets there it is hardly the Harlem he’s heard and read about. Harlem has now become a crime and poverty stricken area where shootings and drug addiction have begun to run rampant in the former Black Arts mecca.

Urban Elites and Mass Transportation

The Dialectics of Power

In an unusually systematic approach to the study of urban politics, this study compares three different models of political power to see which can best explain the development of the Bay Area Rapid Transit System in San Francisco and the attempts of Los Angeles to build a comparable system. Originally published in 1982.

Sith, Slayers, Stargates & Cyborgs

Modern Mythology in the New Millennium

By: John R. Perlich,David Whitt

The beginning of the twenty-first century has already seen its fair share of modern myths with heroes such as Spider-Man, Superman, and Harry Potter. The authors in this volume deconstruct, discuss, engage, and interrogate the mythologies of the new millennium in science fiction fantasy texts. Using literary and rhetorical criticism - paired with philosophy, cultural studies, media arts, psychology, and communication studies - they illustrate the function, value, and role of new mythologies, and show that the universal appeal of these texts is their mythic power, drawing upon archetypes of the past which resonate with individuals and throughout culture. In this way they demonstrate how mythology is timeless and eternal.
