Book Description
Elevate Your Character with the Characters of Christmas There's more to Christmas than buying gifts and the traditional songs we enjoy each year. In Jesse Duplantis' latest book, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year-Uncommon Lessons from the Christmas Story, you'll be inspired to live a higher life of faith by exploring the wonder of God's mysterious ways in the lives of people, both ancient and modern. Broken into five key sections, Dr. Duplantis shares personal insights on some of the more unusual elements of the Christmas story through lessons on: CAESAR AUGUSTUS-How the unconscious obedience of an unbeliever worked to facilitate God's plan for Christ's birth, and how to recognize when God uses this same unusual method in your life, too. JOHN THE BAPTIST-How God prepared the way for Jesus' first coming by sending a unique, pure-living and straight-talking forerunner, and how it's very likely He will send even more forerunners before His Son returns to earth once again. THE WISE MEN-How science and spirituality converged to bring "three rich Gentiles" from foreign lands to honor The King of Kings, and what we can learn for our own lives from the humble and generous Magi about abundance, obedience, great intentions, and generosity. MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS-How the character of Mary was more praised and important to God than sexuality, and how we can learn more about strength of character, faith in God, urgency in obedience, and the sacred feminine bonds of divine connections. JESUS, SON OF GOD-How the God of the universe and beyond became the "baby in the manger" we see portrayed at Christmas, illuminating our own existence and bringing hope, light, and joy to the world by becoming "God with skin." You'll be inspired to see the manger in a new light, and will be reminded that the story of Jesus isn't over yet! Take a fresh look at the manger and beyond with Dr. Jesse Duplantis in The Most Wonderful Time of the Year-Uncommon Lessons from the Christmas Story.

The Best Years of Our Lives
Author: Sarah Kozloff
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1844575667
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
William Wyler's The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) tells the story of three veterans returning from World War II and adjusting to civilian life in a manner unusual for classical Hollywood cinema, with melodrama leavened by authentic detail, personal memories and a fierce desire to capture its historical moment. Sarah Kozloff's illuminating study of the film traces the contribution of Wyler (himself injured while serving in the US Air Force), Robert Sherwood's screenplay, Gregg Toland's deep-focus cinematography, Hugo Friedhofer's award-winning score, and the ensemble cast of Myrna Loy, Fredric March, Dana Andrews, Teresa Wright and Harold Russell. The film's poignant message spoke to American audiences reeling from the end of the conflict and the bumpy transition to peace: producer Samuel Goldwyn received hundreds of letters from ex-servicemen about how accurately his production had captured their experiences. Despite winning nine Academy Awards, Best Years was soon engulfed in political conflict from both the right and the left. Disagreements about the film's politics foreshadowed HUAC's anti-Communist investigations and the fracturing of the Hollywood community that culminated in the collapse of the studio system. Sarah Kozloff's discussion of the film's development, production and reception history draws on archival research to shed new light on our understanding of this much-loved movie, and to bring The Best Years of Our Lives back where it belongs: in our collections, in our libraries, and in our hearts.
