This is England
Third, that the condition of total war in which Britain found itself a short time after the commencement of hostilities would mean that films, and indeed, all mass/popular culture, would respond to the urgency of the situation by taking a special interest in representations of British society. And fourth, following on from this, that British films of the Second World War would, one way or another, be agents of propaganda. From these propositions, the book examines just what these films had to say about social class in the images of Britain they were promulgating, with the corollaries of just how were they saying it, and why were they saying it. Alongside this is a concern with what propaganda purposes were being met by these films."--Jacket.
Taken by Force
Taken hostage by terrorists in war or peacetime can be a devastating experience, as Charlie Moore learns when he visits Fort Ritchie, Maryland. Charlie is taken hostage by a group of terrorists that have just kidnapped the President of the United States. Few are aware that the wife of Congressman Mann has also been kidnapped, but not by the same people or for the same reason. Still, there could be a connection. Soon, a Top Secret message is dispatched to Secret Service Agents, revealing a new dilemma. There are two Presidents missing: the real one and his double. If the terrorists have the real one, they may promise the life of the President in exchange for their demands. But if they have the double, they will likely kill him. While the search intensifies, Charlie Moore plans an escape with the President, whichever one he is. Meanwhile, the terrorists prepare to implement their own plan.
Called to Be Different
We will all live for eternity. That is our destiny. The only question is: will we choose an eternity with the Lord in heaven or an eternity without him in hell? We can try to ignore, deny, or refuse to answer the question, but it will not change the outcome. For Joyce Howard, the death of her husband, Ted—her most intimate and trusted confidante, lover, and friend—became an invitation to journey with Christ to places she had never been. In Called to Be Different, Joyce writes about her search for forgiveness, reconciliation, and healing, while ultimately realizing that this is a journey still in progress, incomplete until we are standing before our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, preparing to spend eternity with our Father in heaven. Read along with Joyce's struggles and triumphs, and enter into the heart of Christ. Through the power of his blood, we are Called to Be Different.
