Roy Freirich's novel Winged Creatures intimately depicts the inner lives of five people driven by secret torments and dangerous compulsions, in flight from their own memories and dreams, as they struggle to regain their trust in the ordinary world. The basis for the 2008 film starring Kate Beckinsale and Dakota Fanning. Shots ring out in a local fast food restaurant. Teenager Anne Hagen and her best friend Jimmy hide under a table, watching a suicidal gunman randomly murder her father and others. Winged Creatures tells the stories of the survivors. . . Struggling to understand her father's death, Anne develops a religious hysteria. Jimmy becomes mute, protecting a secret that he and Anne share until it nearly destroys him and his already fractured family. Grazed by a bullet, driving instructor Charlie becomes obsessed with pressing his luck at a casino. By dangerous degrees, restaurant cashier Carla loses her ability to care for herself and her infant son. Dr. Laraby, an ER physician who failed to revive the shooting victims, turns to his wife as someone to "save," while psychologist Ron Abler tries to counsel the witnesses, but meets suspicion and resistance.

Exploring Creation with Zoology 1
Author: Jeannie K. Fulbright
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781932012613
Category : Animals
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In this book, your children will begin exploring the dynamics of flight and animal classification, understanding why the design we see in these incredible creatures points us to our Creator God. Then, get ready for the exciting adventure of learning about birds. Your children will learn how to attract various bird species to your yard and identify them by looking at their special physical characteristics, diverse nests, and interesting domestic practices. They will also learn the anatomy and the glorious design that enables birds to do remarkable things. The text contains actual experiments on the preferences and habits of the birds your children see. These experiments further enrich the learning experience. After becoming amateur ornithologists, your children will explore the world of chiropterology, which is the study of bats. They will be able to intelligently share with others the value of bats in our world while exposing the misconceptions that most people have regarding these docile creatures of the night. Your children will then investigate entomology, the study of insects. They will learn to scientifically classify insects they find in their yard by a simple glance at their wings and other important characteristics. In addition to designing experiments with flies, crickets, darkling moths, and caterpillars, they will also learn how to attract and catch insects for scientific study. When your children complete this study of zoology, they will never view nature in the same way again. Their eyes will be open to the different species that live in their midst, enjoying and understanding nature to the fullest. Vacations will become educational experiences as they notice birds and insects inhabiting the areas they visit. By learning to keep a field journal, they will be able to notice unusual circumstances or sudden increases in bird or insect populations. They will become true scientists as they come to know nature and the fascinating world that God created. Grades K-6.

Book Description
The book Bazin: who is he? is all about Andre Bazin as a theorist and his contribution to Film Studies. Here, in this book, the subject's objectivity has also been presented that too in the layman's approach. André Bazin (French: [baz?~]; 18 April 1918 – 11 November 1958) was an eminent and persuasive French film faultfinder and film scholar. Bazin began to expound on film in 1943 and was a prime supporter of the famous film magazine Cahiers du cinéma in 1951, alongside Jacques Doniol-Valcroze and Joseph-Marie Lo Duca. Bazin's call for target reality, profound center, and absence of montage are connected to his conviction that the understanding of a film or scene ought to be left to the onlooker. This put him contrary to film hypothesis of the 1920s and 1930s, which underscored how the silver screen could control reality. He is also the co-fonder of Cahiers du Cinema which is indeed the pathbreaking journal till date.

Jesus

Pages : 380
Book Description
A secret manuscript, long thought to have been destroyed centuries ago by the Roman Pope was uncovered by accident behind an old discarded section of the Vatican City vaults. Facing certain death at the hands of the Church if exposed, 13 dedicated Priests hid copies of the ancient scrolls in 12 churches across the globe of different faiths with the 13th copy hidden in a bank safe deposit box inscribed with the ancient seal of the Templar Knights. After years of the Vatican Church's denial of its existence, a possible explanation can finally be found in the controversial book, Jesus: The Rise of the Nazarene. This plausible account tells of the real life exploits of Jesus and his gospels of God, before the principalities behind the Vatican, perverted and re-wrote the history in order to form a one world religion under their "NEW WORLD ORDER" Empire at the Council of Nicaea in 325. A.D.Inside this book you will discover many hidden truths including: The missing years of Jesus' life How Jesus really became the Son of God You will also see the controversial reason: Why Jesus really had to die on the cross Then you will discover the sinister plot: Why the Vatican hid the name of the true betrayer of Jesus Christ The Catholic Church will gasp as we finally uncover: Who the hidden power is behind the Catholic Pope Come and discover the truth before the power of Rome bans this book!

Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament
Author: G. Johannes Botterweck
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802823342
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 624
Book Description
This multivolume work is still proving to be as fundamental to Old Testament studies as its companion set, the Kittel-Friedrich Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, has been to New Testament studies. Beginning with father, and continuing through the alphabet, the TDOT volumes present in-depth discussions of the key Hebrew and Aramaic words in the Old Testament. Leading scholars of various religious traditions (including Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, Greek Orthodox, and Jewish) and from many parts of the world (Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States) have been carefully selected for each article by editors Botterweck, Ringgren, and Fabry and their consultants, George W. Anderson, Henri Cazelles, David Noel Freedman, Shemaryahu Talmon, and Gerhard Wallis. The intention of the writers is to concentrate on meaning, starting from the more general, everyday senses and building to an understanding of theologically significant concepts. To avoid artificially restricting the focus of the articles, TDOT considers under each keyword the larger groups of words that are related linguistically or semantically. The lexical work includes detailed surveys of a word s occurrences, not only in biblical material but also in other ancient Near Eastern writings. Sumerian, Akkadian, Egyptian, Ethiopic, Ugaritic, and Northwest Semitic sources are surveyed, among others, as well as the Qumran texts and the Septuagint; and in cultures where no cognate word exists, the authors often consider cognate ideas. TDOT s emphasis, though, is on Hebrew terminology and on biblical usage. The contributors employ philology as well as form-critical and traditio-historical methods, with the aim of understanding the religious statements in the Old Testament. Extensive bibliographical information adds to the value of this reference work. This English edition attempts to serve the needs of Old Testament students without the linguistic background of more advanced scholars; it does so, however, without sacrificing the needs of the latter. Ancient scripts (Hebrew, Greek, etc.) are regularly transliterated in a readable way, and meanings of foreign words are given in many cases where the meanings might be obvious to advanced scholars. Where the Hebrew text versification differs from that of English Bibles, the English verse appears in parentheses. Such features will help all earnest students of the Bible to avail themselves of the manifold theological insights contained in this monumental work.
