Book Description
This volume explores a number of instances of unexpected but influential readings of the Bible in popular culture, literature, film, music and politics. The argument in all of them is that the effects of the Bible continues to have an effect on contemporary culture in ways that may surprise and sometimes dismay both religious and secular groups. That the Bible was at one time chained in churches is true. The subversive misreading of this enchainment as a symbol of a book in captivity to the established church is hard to suppress, however. Yet, once released from these chains, the Bible proves to be a text that gets everywhere and which undergoes surprising and sometimes contradictory metamorphoses. The pious advocates of making the Bible accessible who sought to free it from the churches' chains are the very people who then decry some of the results when the Bible is free to roam.

Book Description
What forces, either emergent or centrally planned, have subtly changed American life? These questions and more are explored in Wiliam Reynolds' novel SANCTIFY. Set against the shocking murder mystery whose impact on American history was incalculable, SANCTIFY is a rich novel in every sense of the word. James Ortega was fifteen when his Cuban half-brother, Jesus, was a buried casualty of Vietnam. Not until he meets his brother's fiancée, the beautiful and enigmatic Kathy Shine, does he entertain the possibility that Jesus is still alive and the buried casket empty. Frustrated on all fronts, James finally contacts Paul Deland, who holds a high position in Naval Intelligence. So begins the search for the mysterious Jesus, a search that forces us to examine our own disturbing times, in light of tenuous, yet highly evocative, connections with history. SANCTIFY is a fictional tour de force, which reminds the reader--as in all great novels --what it is to be human.

Lucky Bastard
Author: Joe Buck
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101984589
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
In this New York Times bestselling memoir, the announcer of the biggest sporting events in the country—including the 2017 Super Bowl and this century's most-watched, historic, Chicago Cubs–winning World Series—reveals why he is one lucky bastard. Sports fans see Joe Buck everywhere: broadcasting one of the biggest games in the NFL every week, calling the World Series every year, announcing the Super Bowl every three years. They know his father, Jack Buck, is a broadcasting legend and that he was beloved in his adopted hometown of St. Louis. Yet they have no idea who Joe really is. Or how he got here. They don’t know how he almost blew his career. They haven’t read his funniest and most embarrassing stories or heard about his interactions with the biggest sports stars of this era. They don’t know how hard he can laugh at himself—or that he thinks some of his critics have a point. And they don’t know what it was really like to grow up in his father’s shadow. Joe and Jack were best friends, but it wasn’t that simple. Jack, the voice of the St. Louis Cardinals for almost fifty years, helped Joe get his broadcasting start at eighteen. But Joe had to prove himself, first as a minor league radio announcer and then on local TV, national TV with ESPN, and then finally on FOX. He now has a successful, Emmy-winning career, but only after a lot of dues-paying, learning, and pretty damn entertaining mistakes that are recounted in this book. In his memoir, Joe takes us through his life on and off the field. He shares the lessons he learned from his father, the errors he made along the way, and the personal mountain he climbed and conquered, all of which have truly made him a Lucky Bastard.
