Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was driving on a graveled road leaving a trail of dust behind me and singing at the top of my voice. I was rounding a very tall-for-Kansas kind of hill. It was one of those curves that seemed to go on forever. I wasnt paying much attention to the road or as it turned out, to my moms flying signals either. That changed abruptly when suddenly my mom was flying low and straight at me. We were eye-to-eye!. I could see her laughing as we locked eyes. (Now I understand why my pony, Silver, didnt care for this)! Mom was very careful as she flew right over the hood and roof of the car. She dropped a flag from her automatic flagman mounted on the right wing. In retrospect, it was a marvel that I didnt crash! On the other hand, this was pretty par for my mom! (I came by this naturally, guys!) This proves it! The good news is that I got her message. I was approaching an otherwise unmarked turn that I needed to make and Mom just wanted to get my attention so I didnt miss it. Mission accomplished! Laundry necessary!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the mysteries of life can be the most rewarding experiences of ones life. The story about my birth and death is begging to be told. It is a story that should not be hidden. I remember the day of my birth and death, which occurred at the same moment. It is amazing how much an individual experiences, learns, remembers, and comprehends as an infant or small child. It is even more amazing what one actualizes and perceives about oneself when we become old. The day I was born, I died. My angel came to me. She knew I needed her. My angel told me that I had twin brothers who had died the year before I was born. They were in heaven. My twin brothers came to me and kissed me. My angel took me back to my mother, Lettie. We both were brought back to life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE WATERKEEPER'S DAUGHTER is about what happens when a very angry man seeks revenge for the devastation wreaked on his family by the spraying of pesticides back in the fifties. Because of that, his mother died from cancer; his brother contracted Parkinson's; they lost the family farm; and his father committed suicide. Now someone's got to pay and he knows exactly who that someone will be. Very soon the word "regret" will have a whole new meaning for the one who did this—but by then it will be too late. "Lisa's husband is dead. Her daughter is missing. An unknown event from the distant past has come to visit revenge on a woman whose only crime is a vague tie to her estranged in-laws. This terrific whodunit will keep you guessing to the final pages." —Wayne Sapp, author of ARCTIC LIONS
Download or read book Finding Ourselves at the Movies written by Paul W. Kahn and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic philosophy may have lost its audience, but the traditional subjects of philosophy—love, death, justice, knowledge, and faith—remain as compelling as ever. To reach a new generation, Paul W. Kahn argues that philosophy must take up these fundamental concerns as we find them in contemporary culture. He demonstrates how this can be achieved through a turn to popular film. Discussing such well-known movies as Forrest Gump (1994), The American President (1995), The Matrix (1999), Memento (2000), The History of Violence (2005), Gran Torino (2008), The Dark Knight (2008), The Road (2009), and Avatar (2009), Kahn explores powerful archetypes and their hold on us. His inquiry proceeds in two parts. First, he uses film to explore the nature of action and interpretation, arguing that narrative is the critical concept for understanding both. Second, he explores the narratives of politics, family, and faith as they appear in popular films. Engaging with genres as diverse as romantic comedy, slasher film, and pornography, Kahn explores the social imaginary through which we create and maintain a meaningful world. He finds in popular films a new setting for a philosophical inquiry into the timeless themes of sacrifice, innocence, rebirth, law, and love.
