Book excerpt: Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text of The Funsters by James Robert Parish and William T. Leonard, with Gregory W. Mank and Charles Hoyt. The iconic subjects of this volume could pop up in any movie-as plumbers or secretaries or bank tellers, as wives or husbands or (would-be) lovers. They could be pompous or scatterbrained. What they all shared in common was a genius for making funny faces at life. They made us laugh at our world-and ourselves. They are the Hollywood Funsters: the comics, the clowns, and the jesters of the Silver Screen. What are these people like away from the soundstage? How did they get into comedy in the first place? The Funsters provides all the answers in great depth. This substantial volume features 62 of the great Hollywood laugh makers (including several hilarious screen teams). Each has an individual chapter-a chapter rich in fascinating details about the celebrated individual's colorful life-on and off the soundstages, as well as a listing of the star's feature films, with studio and year of release.The vibrant personalities covered in this volume are: Bud Abbott & Lou Costello, Woody Allen, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Eve Arden, Mischa Auer, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Mary Boland, Fanny Brice, Joe E.

Download or read book Wondrous Encounters written by Richard Rohr and published by Franciscan Media. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rohr's meditations on the daily readings of Lent are not for the sake of mere information, or even for academia (although the author hopes it will satisfy both), but for the sake of our transformation into our original "image and likeness," which is the very image of God. What always and finally matters for all of us is encounter! Father Rohr begins each meditation with a single title or phrase that sums up the point. Then he offers the meditation followed by key passages from the readings. He ends each meditation with a Starter Prayer that invites you to self-disclosure and to enter the wondrous divine dialogue with clarity, insight—and holy desire! "There are two moments that matter. One is when you know that your one and only life is absolutely valuable and alive. The other is when you know your life, as presently lived, is entirely pointless and empty. You need both of them to keep you going in the right direction. Lent is about both. The first such moment gives you energy and joy by connecting you with your ultimate Source and Ground. The second gives you limits and boundaries, and a proper humility, so you keep seeking the Source and Ground and not just your small self."—From the Introduction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unforgettable collection of novellas from the author of Legends of the Fall explores the line between civilization and the “wild men.” Jim Harrison is an American master. The Beast God Forgot to Invent offers stories of culture and wildness, of men and beasts and where they overlap. A wealthy man retired to the Michigan woods narrates the tale of a younger man decivilized by brain damage. A Michigan Indian wanders Los Angeles, hobnobbing with starlets and screenwriters while he tracks an ersatz Native-American activist who stole his bearskin. An aging alpha canine, the author of three dozen throwaway biographies, eats dinner with the ex-wife of his overheated youth, and must confront the man he used to be. “Harrison’s intricate symbolism and scathing observations of urban foibles, his sly humor and vibrant language remind readers that he is one of our most talented chroniclers of the masculine psyche, intellectual or not.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book 8 Spiritual Heroes written by Brennan Hill and published by Franciscan Media. This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is evident after exploring these heroes' lives and writings that God remains a Mystery—a reality beyond images, descriptions, dogmas and creeds."—From the Epilogue How does a person imagine God? How does that image change as the person matures spiritually and undergoes a significant religious experience? What influences—political, social, gender, faith tradition—shape and change a person's view of God? In this compelling and inspiring book of biographical theology, Brennan Hill uses stories and historical and theological sources to tell us how eight modern religious heroes see God. Hill's religious heroes are diverse: a Hindu (Mahatma Gandhi), a Jewess who converted to Christianity (Edith Stein), a black Baptist minister (Martin Luther King, Jr.), a Catholic laywoman (Dorothy Day), a Salvadoran archbishop (Archbishop Oscar Romero), two Jesuit priests (Pierre Tielhard de Chardin and Daniel Berrigan) and a nun (Mother Teresa of Calcutta). Hill writes: "Many of my religious heroes lived out their faith in an outstanding manner. For all of these religious heroes God was often close at hand, deeply felt in the events of their lives, glimpsed in the people they met, pursuing them in their minds and hearts. God, as it were, came with many intriguing faces: as a God of truth, of the homeless and of the mountain. God came in the cosmos, as one beckoning to prophecy and as a fellow sufferer sharing the cross. Divinity appeared as the power of peace and in the poverty of the abandoned. Each one of us might now ask: What face has my God shown to me?"
