Book Description
Murdo Morgan returned to Paradise Valley, Oregon, expecting trouble. Sixteen years earlier, his father had planned to help hundreds of families settle in the valley. Not wanting to lose their spread, local ranchers had murdered Morgan's brothers and driven his family away. Now Morgan owned half the valley, but he'd had to borrow money from ruthless bankers to buy the land. With the ranchers gunning to stop him from selling his acres to new settlers, and the bankers waiting to foreclose if he didn't, Morgan's back was pinned to the wall. But he'd shot his way out of tight spots before, and he was more than willing to cut down anyone who stood in the way of making his father's dream come true.

The Rhetorical Leadership of Fulton J. Sheen, Norman Vincent Peale, and Billy Graham in the Age of Extremes
Author: Timothy H. Sherwood
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 0739174312
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Fulton J. Sheen, Norman Vincent Peale, and Billy Graham were America’s most popular religious leaders during the mid-twentieth century period known as the golden years of the Age of Extremes. It was part of an era that encompassed polemic contrasts of good and evil on the world stage in political philosophies and international relations. The 1950s and early 1960s, in particular, were years of high anxiety, competing ideologies, and hero/villain mania in America. Sheen was the voice of reason who spoke against those conflicting ideologies which were hostile to religious faith and democracy; Peale preached the gospel of reassurance, self-assurance, and success despite ominous global threats; and Graham was the heroic model of faith whose message of conversion provided Americans an identity and direction opposite to atheistic communism. This study looks at how and why their rhetorical leadership, both separately and together, contributed to the climate of an extreme era and influenced a national religious revival.

Billy Graham
Author: David Aikman
Publisher: HarperChristian + ORM
ISBN: 1418584320
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
IF THERE WERE SUCH A JOB AS THE NATION’S PASTOR, IT WOULD GO TO BILLY GRAHAM Graham wasn’t born with a mandate to become the face of modern evangelism. Growing up, he wasn’t much different from other boys in his town. Billy was more interested in going to the movies than the moving of the Holy Spirit, and he spent more time chasing girls than God. But at a revival meeting the day before his sixteenth birthday, Graham committed himself to Christ and never looked back. That day, he started on the path that would make him the most influential Christian leader in American history. In Billy Graham: His Life and Influence, acclaimed author David Aikman probes critical episodes of Graham’s life that help explain his profound impact, both on the public life of America and other nations and the private lives of their cultural and political leaders. From the racial upheaval of the civil rights movement to the social turmoil of the cold war, Aikman traces Graham’s profound influence on a nation as it went through wrenching changes over the span of more than a half century. Through vivid anecdotes and fascinating details, Billy Graham: His Life and Influence tells the story of how a country boy from Charlotte with a heart for God grew up to help shape the world.
