Street Smart
New York has appeared in more movies than Michael Caine, and the resulting overfamiliarity to moviegoers poses a problem for critics and filmmakers alike. Audiences often mistake the New York image of skyscrapers and bright lights for the real thing, when in fact the City is a network of clearly defined villages, each with a unique personality. Standard film depictions of New Yorkers as a rush-hour mass of undifferentiated humanity obscure the connections formed between people and places in the City's diverse neighborhoods. Street Smart examines the cultural influences of New York's neighborhoods on the work of four quintessentially New York filmmakers: Sidney Lumet, Woody Allen, Martin Scor...
Black Cowboys in the American West
Who were the black cowboys? They were drovers, foremen, fiddlers, cowpunchers, cattle rustlers, cooks, and singers. They worked as wranglers, riders, ropers, bulldoggers, and bronc busters.

God wants those who are his own to not only understand prophecy but also to act on that understanding. Clear prophetic markers in Scripture light the way to Christ's return. Some of these markers are currently blazing brightly. The antichrist, the false prophet, the church, the Jews, the 144,000, the two witnesses, and the three angels each have a role to play as the last seven years of history unfolds. Scripture provides clues as to how these last-days players are integrated into the biblical script of the tribulation period.

Enhanced by primary sources, images, and sidebars, this inspiring biography proves that with enough passion and commitment, change can occur.
