The Western
The Western introduces the novice to the pleasures and the meanings of the Western film, shares the excitement of the genre with the fan, addresses the suspicions of the cynic and develops the knowledge of the student. The Western is about the changing times of the Western, and about how it has been understood in film criticism. Until the 1980s, more Westerns were made than any other type of film. For fifty of those years, the genre was central to Hollywood's popularity and profitability. The Western explores the reasons for its success and its latter-day decline among film-makers and audiences alike. Part I charts the history of the Western film and its role in film studies. Part II traces ...

Pursuing Justice
The ONLY way to find abundant life and happiness is to give your life away. If God designed us to experience true happiness and abundant life, why do so many Christians feel dissatisfied and purposeless? We try to make our lives better by chasing our own dreams, but that only makes the problem worse. Instead, the path to a just life that’s satisfying and permeated with meaning leads us alongside the orphan, the widow, and the powerless. Using clear evangelical theology and compelling narratives drawn from two decades of global ministry and travel, Ken Wytsma, the founder of The Justice Conference, shows God’s unchanging love for all His children. On the way, the author calls us back to a...

Out There Search for the Messiah
DANIEL, book of mysterious dates and future events has been the concern of serious Bible students for thousands of years. Its predictions have challenged the church and the world. Exciting reading too. Remember "Daniel in the lion's den"? "OUT THERE, SEARCH FOR THE MESSIAH" is different from most books in that it endeavors to simply describe what the book says. Daniel's prophecies of the coming of Messiah are the most dramatic to be found in all of Scripture. The coming of Jesus, the Messiah, is predicted more than 500 years before it happened. The future of the world and the church is also described in most disturbing detail. Daniel is important to every person who is concerned about the future. The book proves beyond doubt that the Jesus Christ who appeared on earth 2,000 years ago, is the one and only true Messiah, and He is out there preparing for a visit to the planet earth IN THE NEAR FUTURE!

My Past Story
Have you ever heard the word depression before? Why did I go through it? Being in and out of the hospital since I was young made me become insecure. My flaws were pointed out and picked on. My brother called me names and made me feel ashamed. My mom brought up my weight and made me feel hate. Running away doesn’t help but makes things more complicated. My best friend moved away and made me feel more alone. My hope is that people would read my story and know that they are strong and not alone in their sufferings.
A National Joke
Comedy is crucial to how the English see themselves. This book considers that proposition through a series of case studies of popular English comedies and comedians in the twentieth century, ranging from the Carry On films to the work of Mike Leigh and contemporary sitcoms such as The Royle Family, and from George Formby to Alan Bennett and Roy 'Chubby' Brown. Relating comic traditions to questions of class, gender, sexuality and geography, A National Joke looks at how comedy is a cultural thermometer, taking the temperature of its times. It asks why vulgarity has always delighted English audiences, why camp is such a strong thread in English humour, why class influences what we laugh at and why comedy has been so neglected in most theoretical writing about cultural identity. Part history and part polemic, it argues that the English urgently need to reflect on who they are, who they have been and who they might become, and insists that comedy offers a particularly illuminating location for undertaking those reflections.

Topics covered include the relationship between quiz shows and television genre; the early broadcast history of the quiz s...
The Original Holy Peshitta Bible Translated (The Former Prophets and The Holy Writings) Joshua to Esther
The Aramaic Peshitta Old Testament (The Former Prophets and The Holy Writings) Joshua to Esther (12 historical books) is translated from the world's oldest complete Semitic Bible - Codex Ambrosianus (6th century AD). The Peshitta Old Testament Bible is written in Aramaic and was translated from early Hebrew manuscripts in the 1st century A.D., before the Massoretic Hebrew text edition became the standard. The Massoretic edition is that used today in Jewish synagogues and temples worldwide and is the text translated to produce most Bible translations of the Old Testament. The Peshitta's Aramaic (Aramaic is a sister Semitic language to Hebrew) gives us a clear look at what the Hebrew Bible text was before the corrupt Scribes of Jesus' time and earlier had altered many of its readings for theological and political reasons. This is English only. 6x9" hardback; 308 pages with notes.
