Touching the Void (Slip) [VHS] $6.98 To describe Touching the Void as a mountaineering documentary would be to do this breathtaking drama an injustice. By intercutting narration from the climbers themselves with a nail-biting reconstruction of their remarkable adventure in the Peruvian Andes, the film has the best of both genres: the authentic stamp of factual storytelling and the edge-of-the-seat tension of a dramatic movie. In 19… |

Young Guns [VHS] $1.90 Part of what was touted as a late-1980s revival of Westerns (and you can see how long that lasted), this good-looking, empty-brained film was like a spurs-and-chaps version of a Joel Schumacher movie, filled with pretty faces, prettier imagery, and absolutely no new ideas. The idiotically grinning Emilio Estevez is cast as Billy the Kid, who slowly accumulates a gang of Brat Pack buddies (Lou Diam… |

The Great Exchange $10.99 “The purpose of this book is to examine the most monumental life in history-Jesus, the Christ. By examining the words of Jesus, and the apostle Paul, the reader will gain a greater appreciation of the ministry of Jesus. Indeed, the reader will learn that Jesus not only died to take away our sins; He also lived to provide us with perfect righteousness. This is the great exchange: we exchange our sins for His righteousness. Yet, the importance of this truth is rarely emphasized in churches today. This study will examine the great exchange by using key passages from the New Testament. By learning more about the great exchange, readers will gain a deeper understanding into the meaning of salvation, as well as who they are “in Christ.” The prodigal son by Pampeo Batoni. The prodigal son returns home to his father. The compassionate father forgives the repentant son and covers him with his finest robe. (Pompeo Batoni, 1708-1787, Italian classical painter) The author is interested in your responses to this booklet. Please direct your e-mails to h.murphy905@comcast.net” |

Positioned For The Exchange $20 “In a relay, the passing of the baton is where the race is won or lost. Both the incoming and outgoing runner must be in the proper position for the exchange. Using this analogy, Dr. Rochester explains how adult leaders should run their leg of the race with endurance to make an effective transition to the next generation. “Positioned for the Exchange” will . . .* Empower you to reach today’s teen by understanding how they think and learn.* Rekindle your passion to learn relevant teaching methods.* Familiarize you with knowledge, skills, and competence to work with individuals in diverse populations. * Demonstrate how the church, family, school educators, and community members can work together to reach today’s youth.” |

Andrew Mchattie on Covered Warrants $23.78 The traditional company warrants market is set to be eclipsed by a new market which should offer huge opportunities for active investors. Revised regulations have paved the way for a new ‘covered warrants’ market in London.- The number of warrants available for trading by private investors on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) will multiply many times over.- Warrants will become available on a broad range of blue-chip companies, sector baskets, and on both UK and overseas indices.- Investors will be able to buy both calls and puts.- The vast majority of the new warrants will be exercisable for cash which will mean they can be traded free of stamp duty.This book is intended as a primer for investors new to covered warrants, although more experienced investors may also find some value in the timely information about the formation of the new market in London. Readers used to dealing in traditional listed warrants in the UK will find the new covered warrants quite different. Jargon is unavoidable, but it is explained in the text and in the glossary at the back. |

Paper Kisses $3.05 A fascinating piece of literary detective work about star-crossed lovers in Nazi Germany. Rudolf Kaufmann, a young Jewish geologist, met Ingeborg Magnusson, a young Swedish woman gifted in languages, in Italy in 1935, and the two quickly fell in love. They spent just a few days together before they had to part. He traveled once to see her in Stockholm; she went once to Germany. After that they had to make do with an exchange of letters–ordinary, sad, and dramatic at the same time–telling the story of a love that blossomed under traumatic circumstances. Paper Kisses covers the period from 1935 to 1941, when Rudolf, having fled Nazi Germany for the apparent safety of Lithuania, was to disappear from view. Sixty years later, at a stamp auction, author Reinhard Kaiser bought a packet of envelopes that still held their original handwritten contents. The tale he discovered on the pages of Rudolf’s letters to his beloved Ingelein immediately captivated Kaiser. How did such precious personal correspondence end up on the auctioneer’s table? What became of Ingeborg’s letters to Rudolf? Did either of the star-crossed lovers survive the war? Kaiser tracked down photographs, documentary records, and finally living members of the couple’s families to fill in the gaps of their story. In Paper Kisses, Kaiser allows the letters to speak for themselves, while providing enough historic context to reveal how remarkable the couple’s loyalty, optimism, and resourcefulness were against the backdrop of the harrowing events of World War II. Kaiser’s own fascinating literary detective work frames the narrative, as he makes one unexpected find after another. Paper Kisses is both a story of apoignant love affair and a chronicle of a thrilling investigation. |

Robert Johnson, Mythmaking, and Contemporary American Culture $26.9 Suddenly Robert Johnson is everywhere. Tough the Mississippi bluesman died young and recorded only twenty-nine songs, the legacy, legend, and lore surrounding him continue to grow. Focusing on these developments, Patricia R. Schroeder’s Robert Johnson, Mythmaking, and Contemporary American Culture breaks new ground in Johnson scholarship, going beyond simple or speculative biography to explore him in his larger role as a contemporary cultural icon. Part literary analysis, part cultural criticism, and part biographical study, Robert Johnson, Mythmaking, and Contemporary American Culture shows the Robert Johnson of today to be less a two-dimensional character fixed by the few known facts of his life than a dynamic and contested set of ideas. Represented in novels, in plays, and even on a postage stamp, he provides inspiration for high-brow cultural artifacts–such as poems–as well as Hollywood movies and T-shirts. Schroeder’s detailed and scholarly analysis directly engages key images and stories about Johnson (such as the Faustian crossroads exchange of his soul for guitar virtuosity), navigating the many competing interpretations that swirl around him to reveal the cultural purposes these stories and their tellers serve. Unprecedented in both range and depth, Schroeder’s work is a fascinating examination of the relationships among Johnson’s life, its subsequent portrayals, and the cultural forces that drove these representations. With penetrating insights into both Johnson and the society that perpetuates him, Robert Johnson, Mythmaking, and Contemporary American Culture is essential reading for cultural critics and blues fans alike. |

USED: GREAT EXCHANGE $7.98 The Great Exchange was released in 1990, at the very dawn of a decade that would witness a significant revival of interest in acoustic-based music. With MTV’s Unplugged providing the stamp of legitimacy from the most powerful force in mainstream pop, the musical domination of the electronic keyboard was crumbling every bit as rapidly in American pop music as was the political domination of communism in Eastern Europe. As always, the Christian Contemporary Music world was gradually responding to the trends of the secular music scene. Bruce Carroll timidly entered the bold new world with this country-flavored pop/rock record. Producer Bubba Smith doesn’t completely discard the power pop arrangements of the ’80s. “Who Will Be Jesus,” for instance, closely follow synthetic pop formulas and “Living in the Pages” is a by-the-numbers lite rock ditty (though it does feature a strong guitar solo by Phil Keaggy). But many of these songs are surprisingly sparing in their use of advanced technology. The highlights might be “Average Joe,” which benefits from a knockout harmonica solo by Buddy Greene, and “Wake the Dead,” the finest track on the record and perhaps the most authentic in Carroll’s career thanks to a rollicking bluegrassy jam on mandolin, upright bass, and banjo (thanks to secular folk stars Bela Fleck & the Flecktones). Overall, The Great Exchange is somewhat fragmented and disjointed and has the sound of an industry in the opening stages of transition. ~ Evan Cater, All Music Guide |
