Book excerpt: In an instant, the shock of a shooting death or injury from a violent crime can tear families apart. The unalterable changes which come about from random or intentional acts of shooting turn many lives upside down and incite both moral and spiritual challenges. In this, his first novel, When Bullets Fly, Ronald McKeever skillfully explores the colorful life of a community which undergoes challenges to their beliefs about family and friends, their individual relationships to God and God's love, and their responsibilities to each other. Struggle and hard work have always been a part of life for Chris and Shante Watson. However, they also have a strong faith in God. But, when the shock from a shooting so close to home challenges their love and trust, their family bonds will be potentially shattered forever. Lives get turned upside down when the changes begin, good and bad, and it feels just like they are being shot by the bullet, again. Weaving through this realistic and compelling story are three shootings which challenge family members, friends, and neighbors who must now find new ways to interact in each other's lives. Each person has to choose whom they will serve- God or the devil. They must gain enough spiritual strength to have faith and trust in a God they have never seen, and they must want Jesus Christ to be in their lives. Their only way to solve this dilemma is a return to God by restoration from the fuel of jealousy, drugs, alcohol, hatred, and fear, which ignited the shootings in the first place and which now threatens to rip them all apart. The battle will test their love for each other and their faith in God by having to trust above all understanding. When Bullets Fly compels readers to examine their own beliefs as they are subtly drawn through a full range of emotions. This book will be discussed over and over as the characters' relationships, which include spouses, children, siblings, classmates, best friends, sweethearts, sworn enemies, and God are carefully considered. It's a book which won't soon be forgotten.

Book excerpt: THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: “Beautifully told.”—CNN • “A remarkable story...worth retelling and celebrating.”—USA Today • “Oh, it’s a good one!”—Fox News A “beautiful story of a brotherhood between enemies” emerges from the horrors of World War II in this New York Times bestseller by the author of Devotion, now a Major Motion Picture. December, 1943: A badly damaged American bomber struggles to fly over wartime Germany. At the controls is twenty-one-year-old Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown. Half his crew lay wounded or dead on this, their first mission. Suddenly, a Messerschmitt fighter pulls up on the bomber’s tail. The pilot is German ace Franz Stigler—and he can destroy the young American crew with the squeeze of a trigger... What happened next would defy imagination and later be called “the most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II.” The U.S. 8th Air Force would later classify what happened between them as “top secret.” It was an act that Franz could never mention for fear of facing a firing squad. It was the encounter that would haunt both Charlie and Franz for forty years until, as old men, they would search the world for each other, a last mission that could change their lives forever.
Download or read book Popular Media Social Emotion and Public Discourse in Contemporary China written by Shuyu Kong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1990s the media and cultural fields in China have become increasingly commercialized, resulting in a massive boom in the cultural and entertainment industries. This evolution has also brought about fundamental changes in media behaviour and communication, and the enormous growth of entertainment culture and the extensive penetration of new media into the everyday lives of Chinese people. Against the backdrop of the rapid development of China’s media industry and the huge growth in social media, this book explores the emotional content and public discourse of popular media in contemporary China. It examines the production and consumption of blockbuster films, television dramas, entertainment television shows, and their corresponding online audience responses, and describes the affective articulations generated by cultural and media texts, audiences and social contexts. Crucially, this book focuses on the agency of audiences in consuming these media products, and the affective communications taking place in this process in order to address how and why popular culture and entertainment programs exert so much power over mass audiences in China. Indeed, Shuyu Kong shows how Chinese people have sought to make sense of the dramatic historical changes of the past three decades through their engagement with popular media, and how this process has created a cultural public sphere where social communication and public discourse can be launched and debated in aesthetic and emotional terms. Based on case studies that range from television drama to blockbuster films, and reality television programmes to social media sites, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Chinese culture and society, media and communication studies, film studies and television studies.

Using juxtaposition and experimentation, he gets to the bottom of eternity in a manner of which only poetry is capable.
