American Silent Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy Feature Films, 1913-1929
During the Silent Era, when most films dealt with dramatic or comedic takes on the "boy meets girl, boy loses girl" theme, other motion pictures dared to tackle such topics as rejuvenation, revivication, mesmerism, the supernatural and the grotesque. A Daughter of the Gods (1916), The Phantom of the Opera (1925), The Magician (1926) and Seven Footprints to Satan (1929) were among the unusual and startling films containing story elements that went far beyond the realm of "highly unlikely." Using surviving documentation and their combined expertise, the authors catalog and discuss these departures from the norm in this encyclopedic guide to American horror, science fiction and fantasy in the years from 1913 through 1929.
Walk Well the Winding Way
Here are fifty-two lessons for a full year of study and contemplation, each using an ordinary, everyday object to demonstrate God's truth about the world in which we live. You may see things quite differently after reading these lessons about mousetraps, maple syrup, credit cards and perfume. A bowl of fruit might never look the same to you, and pears might never taste the same again. Taught in a simple conversational style, each lesson is accompanied by relevant verses of Scripture, a beloved hymn and a brief prayer, presenting a well-rounded, full lesson to help each reader live triumphantly in this often dark and difficult world. Whether used for personal devotions or as a vehicle for a weekly discussion group, Walk Well the Winding Way will at times pique your curiosity or give you a chuckle, but in every case, it will draw you nearer to God as you journey with Him along life's road.

However, unwilling to commit to equality at that time, the nation stood ill-prepared to accept the full message of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. In the ensuing century, groups wishing to advance a particular position hijacked Lincoln’s words for their own ends, highlighting the specific parts of the speech that echoed their stance while ignoring the rest. Only as the nation slowly moved toward equality did those invoking Lincoln’s speech come closer to re...
