The Pentecostal Readings of Scripture Series is conceived of as a forum in which some of Pentecostalism's leading biblical scholars may share their readings of Scripture as they emerge in a variety of global contexts. In order to hear these diverse global voices in one accord, authors are not obligated to follow any prescribed pattern or model of reading, allowing interested parties a chance to discern the contours of hermeneutical approaches currently being employed by Pentecostal interpreters. The editors anticipate that by allowing the members of the global Pentecostal community to exercise their individual reading gifts that the nature and shape of Pentecostal hermeneutics will come into clearer focus.Written by noted Pentecostal scholar Roger Stronstad this commentary on the Gospel according to Mark is intended for the general reader who may need an entry level studies tool. Focusing primarily on Mark's Gospel, with minimal interaction with Matthew and Luke and even the broader Greco-Roman culture, this commentary seeks to identify the ways in which the religious culture of intertestamental Judaism informs the text of the Gospel. With an eye on the broad structure of the book, Stronstad discovers that Mark presents Jesus and his ministry of redemptive words and works as an amazing teacher, a prophet to the nations, Israel's Messiah, and the (rejected) King of the Jews. This fresh insight enriches an understanding of the good news that is Mark's legacy for believers around the world in every generation.

On the way to a show in Skipton, in North Yorkshire, I noticed a road sign to a town called Keighley. So later, during the show, I mentioned this, asking the audience, 'Is that your rival town?' And the room went chillingly quiet, until one woman called out with understated menace, 'Keighley is a sink of evil.'

"The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." -- Mark TwainMark Twain (1835-1910) was the first American writer to capture the unique and colorful vernacular of his country's populace. Instead of striving to perfect any particular literary form, Twain strove to precisely imprint on paper the colloquial speech, mannerisms and experiences of the American people.Twain's books earned him an enduring reputation as a satirist and humorist, but he also wrote great short stories. These stories, with their wonderful characters and witty turns-of-phrase, have defined in Americans' minds what it means to have been at a time in our country which was at once optimistic, exploratory and recklessly exploitative.Listeners can still benefit today from hearing Mark Twain's stories and selections from his novels as they become again what they originally were: the oral history of our uniquely American consciousness.Includes selections from Life on the Mississippi, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Roughing It, and The Autobiography of Mark Twain, and the short stories The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, The 1,000,000 Bank-Note, The Joke That Made Ed's Fortune, A Dog's Tale, A Story Without an End and many more.Performed by Ed Begley, Sr., Walter Brennan, Brandon de Wilde, Will Geer, and David Wayne
Selected short works of humor and criticism by a revered American masterBeloved by millions, Mark Twain is the quintessential American writer. More than anyone else, his blend of skepticism, caustic wit and sharp prose defines a certain American mythos. While his novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is still taught to nearly everyone who attends school and is considered by many to be the Great American Novel, Twain's shorter stories and criticisms have unequalled style and bite.In a review that's less than kind to the writing of James Fenimore Cooper, Twain writes: "Every time a Cooper person is in peril, and absolute silence is worth four dollars a minute, he is sure to step on a dry twig. There may be a hundred handier things to step on, but that wouldn't satisfy Cooper. Cooper requires him to turn out and find a dry twig; and if he can't do it, go and borrow one." It's difficult to imagine anyone else writing in quite this style, though many have tried, which is why Twain's legacy only continues to grow.The collection includes 20 works, including: Old Times on the MississippiThe Mysterious StrangerThe Man That Corrupted HadleyburgThe Jumping FrogJim Baker's Bluejay YarnA True StoryLetter to the EarthThe War Prayer
Considered to be way ahead of his time on issues of race and politics, Twain remains one of literature's greatest original stars. Best known perhaps for his legendary Huckleberry Finn and Adventures of Tom Sawyer - his writing actually reached beyond the simple, but perfectly crafted adventure story to tackle serious cultural issues like slavery that most either avoided or ignored. But although it had serious intentions, his writing was always infused with a great sense of humour - and here that is evident in abundance in these 24 never-published-before essays about all elements of life and culture. In the piece 'Jane Austen', for instance Twain wonders if Austen's goal is to 'make the reader detest her people up to the middle of the book and like them in the rest of the chapters' whilst the "Happy Memories of the Dental Chair" will make you seriously appreciate modern dentistry.
You had better shove this in the stove, Mark Twain said at the top of an 1865 letter to his brother, 'for I don't want any absurd 'literary remains' and 'unpublished letters of Mark Twain' published after I am planted'. He was joking, of course. But when Mark Twain died in 1910, he left behind the largest collection of personal papers created by any nineteenth-century American author. Here, for the first time in book form, are twenty-four remarkable pieces by the American master - pieces that have been hand picked by Robert Hirst, General Editor of The Mark Twain Project at UC Berkeley. In "Jane Austen", Twain wonders if Austen's goal is to make the reader detest her people up to the middle of the book and like them in the rest of the chapters? "The Privilege of the Grave" offers a powerful statement about the freedom of speech while "Happy Memories of the Dental Chair" will make you appreciate modern dentistry. In "Frank Fuller" and "My Fist New York Lecture" Twain plasters the city with ads to promote his talk at the Cooper Union (he is terrified no one will attend). Later that day, Twain encounters two men gazing at one of his ads. One man says to the other: Who is Mark Twain? The other responds: God Knows-I Don't. Wickedly funny and disarmingly relevant, "Who is Mark Twain?" shines new light on one of America's most beloved literary icons - a man who was well ahead of his time.
The award-wining author of Second Acts and The Last Republicans draws on interviews and conversations with seven presidents to identify the essence of character, leadership and legacy that has defined each of them and the modern American presidency.Throughout his career as an author, journalist, television commentator, and head of a presidential library and foundation, Mark Updegrove has had the privilege of getting to know seven U.S. Presidents, from Gerald Ford to Barack Obama. In Make Your Mark, he offers incisive, compelling sketches of these modern presidents and the character trait that made each suited to his moment in the Oval Office and underlies his most significant accomplishments.Gerald Ford’s instinct to do the right thing in the wake of Watergate;Jimmy Carter’s mission to do good in the areas of peace and human rights during his presidency and throughout his post-presidency;Ronald Reagan’s optimism, restoring the nation’s confidence and pride after a sustained period of demoralizing national setbacks;George H.W. Bush’s humility, helping to ensure a peaceful end to the Cold War that had seethed between the superpowers for over forty years;Bill Clinton’s resilience and determination to keep working for the good of the American people in the face of political and personal obstacles;George W. Bush’s charge to give back as the deadly AIDS epidemic spread unchecked throughout much of the developing world;and Barack Obama’s grace as the first African American to hold the country’s highest office. Make Your Mark reveals that there is no one-size-fits-all model for leadership. We all have our own set of strengths and weaknesses. But drawing on these presidential examples, we can ask ourselves how our character reflects our leadership, and be inspired to find the very best in who we are to make own unique marks as leaders.
