BIBLE WISDOM FOR MODERN TIMES: Selections from the Orthodox Old Testament
Newly translated and paraphrased selections from Old Testament and so-called "apocryphal" biblical wisdom literature, including The Wisdom of "Solomon", Jesus Ben Sirach, Tobias (Tobit), Greek "Ezra", King David and other inspired Jewish and Greek writers, are rendered into modern English. The original stories of "The Three Wise Young Men" and Tobias (Tobit} have been reconstructed, whilst retaining as many of the later moralistic interpolations as seemed consistent with the original narratives. Tobias is especially important as it is the book drawn upon by Jesus of Nazareth for his most famous parable and maxims. Other books represented include "Susanna", "The Visions of Ezra", "Proverbs", "Psalms", "Baruch" and "The Prayer of Manasseh."

More Bible Wisdom for Modern Times: Selections from the Early New Testament
The best available texts have been used to translate "Mark's Gospel" into modern English. The picture of Jesus that emerges seems far from the usual stained-glass image of the Savior. Also featured are selections from "The Didache" ("The Teaching") and the so-called "Odes of Solomon" (actually a Christian book of hymns entitled "Odes of Peace"), very probably written by a disciple of St John around the years 100-120. Also included are a couple of characteristic chapters from "The Shepherd of Hermas". All three of these books were regarded by many of the early church fathers as part of the New Testament. In fact, "Didache" and "The Shepherd" were formerly two of the most popular books in the Bible. To round off "More Bible Wisdom" is a brief excerpt from "The Epistle of Barnabas", plus a selection of sayings and stories by Jesus, culled from a number of sources, but chiefly from the gospels of Matthew and Luke.

Essential Bible Wisdom: GOOD NEWS by John, the Beloved Disciple, and John, the Elder
This completely new translation and reconstruction of John's Gospel and his three Letters (or Epistles) in the New Testament of the Bible, presents these books in their entirety and attempts to identify the Gospel contributions of John, the priest, the beloved disciple, and John, the elder or presbyter. (John's Letters, of course, were all written by the elder). Also included in this "Good News", is the Letter to Christian Exiles by Peter and Silvanus, in which it is argued that, although the letter (known as 1 Peter in English Bibles) was issued under Peter's authority, he had very little to do with its actual composition. 25 pages of Notes are also provided on various topics arising from this new translation and reconstruction, including an account of the four men named John who are associated with the Gospel; and the exclusive use of the Septuagint Old Testament (rather than the Hebrew Bible) as the source of all quotations from Scripture by New Testament writers.

SUCCESS IN THE CINEMA: Money-Making Movies and Critics' Choices
Basically, there are three measures of success in the cinema. First off are pictures like "The Crowd" and "Applause" that achieve rave reviews and even go on to win awards, but don’t recover their negative costs. Then there are the movies the critics hate, but the public enjoys. All three versions of "Back Street", for instance. Finally come the pictures everyone loves, like "From Here To Eternity" or "Sunset Boulevard". In the annals of success in Hollywood’s Golden Age, one name stands out above all others: Cecil B. DeMille. His famous pictures reviewed here include both versions of "The Buccaneer", "The Crusades", "Sign of the Cross", "The Story of Dr Wassell" and "Union Pacific". But the book also notes a DeMille "B" movie that tied up a fair amount of money but proved so unpopular it was released in some territories as a support. The book also covers some of Hollywood’s other disastrous failures, including the M-G-M movie that cost over $4 million to make and returned virtually nothing.

HOLLYWOOD MOVIE MUSICALS
When most people think of movie musicals, films like “Singin’ in the Rain”, “Sound of Music”, “The Red Shoes”, “On the Town”, “White Christmas”, “Ziegfeld Follies”, “Top Hat”, “Funny Face” and “Funny Girl” immediately come to mind. Such films are included in this book, as are many of the works of major stars, including Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, Betty Grable, Shirley Temple, Julie Andrews, Elvis Presley, Lucille Ball, Alice Faye, Jeanette MacDonald, Maurice Chevalier, Nelson Eddy, Doris Day, Dick Powell, Betty Hutton, Eleanor Powell, and Al Jolson. But attention is also drawn to less lavishly produced but very pleasant musical offerings from both major and minor studios (including perhaps the finest “B” musical ever made). In all, 125 pictures are reviewed and detailed with full cast and technical credits, plus songs and musical numbers, awards, release dates and other essential background information.

What is a mixed movie? A film to which artists of various nationalities contribute. Popular examples are "Land of the Pharaohs", "The Bridge on the River Kwai", "Casino Royale" and "The Sundowners". British players like Errol Flynn, Stewart Granger, Rex Harrison and James Mason have always been welcome in Hollywood.

YOUR COLOSSAL MAIN FEATURE PLUS FULL SUPPORT PROGRAM
Remember the days when a night at the movies comprised a full three to four hours of varied entertainment?

Here’s a book where you can re-live those wonderful times. No less than 140 varied features (from Hollywood’s main studios to Poverty Row) are discussed, all with full cast and technical credits plus other background information.

HOLLYWOOD 'B' MOVIES: A Treasury of Spills, Chills & Thrills
By the mid-1930s, cinema patrons insisted on value-for-money. Double feature programs became mandatory at all neighborhood cinemas. Usually the “A” feature film figured as the main attraction, and the supporting movie, the “B”. Sometimes that role was reversed. On many occasions picturegoers felt the unheralded “B” movie had actually proved more entertaining than the widely advertised “A” attraction. More than two hundred of these wonderful “B” film classics from Hollywood’s golden age are described, reviewed and detailed in this book. It’s a must-have for all film addicts, movie fans and nostalgia connoisseurs.

IN ALL HIS GLORY
Set in Ancient Egypt during the reign of the usurper, Pharaoh Shishak, "In All His Glory" masterfully fills out the sketchy details of history. It tells of the stormy relationships between the Hebrew refugee, Jeroboam (later king of Israel), the pharaoh’s daughter, and that same pharaoh who later raided Jerusalem and carried off all the treasures of Solomon’s temple. The author’s account of this adventurous alliance — of intrigue, murder and suspicion, of plot and counter-plot at pharaoh’s court; of temple ceremonies; of rioting by striking workers at Thebes; of grave-robbing and entombment — not only has the ring of truth, but presents a fascinating and gripping picture of a society both remarkably different from yet strikingly similar to our own.
