Extrait : Audrey Hepburn est une actrice britannique et neerlandaise, née Edda (ou Audrey) Kathleen Ruston le 4 mai 1929 à Ixelles (Belgique), morte le 20 janvier 1993 à Tolochenaz (Suisse). Elle se destinait initialement à la danse avant de rejoindre la scène à la fin des années 1940. Le succès de la pièce Gigi (1951) sur Broadway lui ouvre les portes du cinéma ; dès 1953, Vacances romaines lui vaut l'Oscar de la meilleure actrice. Étoile d'Hollywood dans les années 1950 et 1960, elle est nommée quatre autres fois pour des Oscars, en particulier pour l'interprétation de Holly Golightly dans Diamants sur canapé (1961). Ses autres grands succès incluent Sabrina, My Fair Lady ainsi qu'un film culte Guerre et Paix tiré de la saga de Léon Tolstoï. En 1967, à 38 ans, elle met fin à sa carrière d'actrice. Elle est entrée dans l'histoire du cinéma comme l'une de ses plus grandes actrices. En 1999, l'American Film Institute l'a ainsi distinguée comme l...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Genesis are an English rock band that formed in 1967. The band currently comprises the longest-tenured members Phil Collins (lead vocals and drums), Mike Rutherford (guitar and bass guitar), and Tony Banks (keyboards). Peter Gabriel, Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett also played major roles in the band in its early days. Genesis are among the top 30 highest-selling recording artists of all time with approximately 150 million albums sold worldwide, including 21.5 million albums sold in the United States. Genesis began as a 1960s pop band playing moody, simple keyboard-driven melodies. During the 1970s, they evolved into a progressive rock band, incorporating complex song structures and elaborate instrumentation, while their concerts became theatrical experiences with innovative stage design, pyrotechnics, elaborate costumes and on-stage stories. This second phase was characterised by lengthy performances such as the 23 minute "Supper's Ready" and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, the 1974 concept album. In the 1980s, the band produced accessible pop music based on melodic hooks; this change of direction gave them their first number one album in the United Kingdom, Duke, and their only number one single in the United States, "Invisible Touch". Genesis has changed personnel several times. Stage fright forced founding member Anthony Phillips to leave the band in 1970. In 1975, Collins, then the band's drummer, replaced Gabriel as lead singer...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=52546 ... Read more

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Frank Vincent Zappa (pronounced ; December 21, 1940 - December 4, 1993) was an American composer, electric guitarist, record producer, and film director. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Zappa wrote rock, jazz, electronic, orchestral, and musique concrète works. He also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. Zappa produced almost all of the more than 60 albums he released with the band Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist. While in his teens, he acquired a taste for percussion-based avant-garde composers such as Edgard Varèse and 1950s rhythm and blues music. He began writing classical music in high school, while at the same time playing drums in rhythm and blues bands-he later switched to electric guitar. He was a self-taught composer and performer, and his diverse musical influences led him to create music that was often impossible to categorize. His 1966 debut album with the Mothers of Invention, Freak Out!, combined songs in conventional rock and roll format with collective improvisatio...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Product Description
Abel West, a thirty-four-year-old songwriter of fame and fortune, can’t remember who he is. Waking up from a tragic accident, he has forgotten the past fifteen years of his memory and finds himself in a life he doesn’t recognize. Around him are tattered lives and broken relationships, including a failing marriage. Realizing his memory may never return, Abel begins to pick up the pieces. However, the people around him remember the man he was—not who he wants to be. His wife had nearly given up on their marriage, and he tries loving this woman he doesn’t know. All the while, he is dealing with his past, the pressure of his career, contempt from others, and mysterious threats on his life. With one twist after another, it’s a story of love, learning to forgive yourself, letting go of the past, and trusting in the forgiving power of God’s grace. ... Read more

John Paul II and the New Evangelization
How You Can Bring the Good News to Others
Edited by:Ralph Martin and Peter Williamson

This book is an eclectic gathering of essays by many high ranking Catholics.Its pages explain in great detail the passion of the late Pope John Paul II.Evangelism is not new by any stretch of the imagination, but Pope John Paul II did coin the term, new evangelization, in meaning the way that it should be done."The evangelical shift brought about by Vatican II, Paul VI, and John Paul II is one of the most dramatic developments in modern Catholicism," states Father Avery Dulles, S.J.

Predecessor to John Paul II, Paul VI, saw evangelization as the very mission of the church.He is stated saying that the basis of all evangelization is the "one gospel given in Jesus Christ.""As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." (John 20:21).

The words from these authors signify the great need that there is today for the Catholic Church to fulfill its mission.In the first chapter it says that there are four characteristics that separate the new evangelization from previous centuries:1. the participation of every Christian. 2.Distinct from foreign missions.3.Directed to cultures. 4.Envisaging comprehensive Christianization.

The message that the gospel teaches is that we are saved through grace, saved by faith.We are saved by "the obedience of faith" Romans 16:26.God doesn't just give us his grace, he enables us to obey.We are saved from Hell for Heaven by Jesus.

Chapter three says that the Holy Spirit gives Catholics three reasons why they should evangelize:faith, hope, and charity.You are to give of them freely, because you did not pay a price, Christ did.This faith is what unlocks the doors of Heaven, and it is through Jesus "the way, the truth, and the life" that we get to Heaven.Another key to sharing is love.The love that we have and the love of God create urgency for sharing the good news and getting the gospel message out there.

The book explains that we are to take on the great commission for ourselves, being in harmony with God's plan.It also speaks about the power and need for prayer.Evangelization is not just a Protestant thing, it is the very work of the church, and it is for every church.

In 1992, on November 18th, the US plan of Go and Make Disciples was written and put into practice.It is a strategy and plan for Catholics in the US of how to go about evangelization.

The next part of the book tells about how the church was created, initiation into the Christian faith, the first missionaries, growth and development of the church, and who the biggest religions are.Surprisingly they are the Pentecostals and the Catholics.Both are at complete different ends of the spectrum.It then gives the specific steps for effective evangelization.Using your personal spiritual gifts is another area that is discussed.Preaching on the streets is not just for the Protestants any more.

Part four of the book is about evangelizing everyone.There are specific essays directed at each demographic:poor, married, teenagers, government and business, and Hispanic Americans.

The final portion of this amazing book is about how to evangelize as a parish, turning everyone into evangelists and into a community.It discusses that this is a great "spring time" for Christianity.The steps are laid out in a nice neat little row for you to follow.

This is a very interesting read, and if anyone has ever wondered about the life work of John Paul II, this is the book for them.It is on the technical side, so if you want a story, wait for the biography.Very enlightening, and it sparked an interest in me to study further about the Catholic religion and their history.

5-0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive!
This collection of essays from clerical and lay writers offers wide ranging background information and practical advice about the New Evangelism.It covers:

1. Historical and theological background;
2. How New Evangelism is playing out in different parts of the world;
3. How we can become authentic evangelists;
4. How to evangelize different groups, such as teenagers;
5. Evangelizing as a parish, and
6. Ecumenical opportunities for evangelism.

The writers are persuasive because they are not just writing about evangelism, they're living it. Some have transformed parishes; others lead organizations that reach out to the poorest of the poor.Whether you are looking for "how-to" instruction or just a better understanding, you can find it here.

One message that comes through loud and clear in every essay is this: evangelism is central to our mission as Christians. In that sense, this book is a must-read for all the faithful.

5-0 out of 5 stars Catholics and Evangelization, Past, Present, and Future
This work is an updated version of papers presented at a 1994 "new evangelization" conference that grew out of an article by Fr. Avery Dulles (now a cardinal). Dulles, who was the keynote speaker, and other presenters addressed efforts of Vatican II participants and Popes Paul VI and John Paul II to clarify the call for Christian evangelization.

The 23 articles are grouped under six headings: Catching the Vision, Perspectives on Evangelization, How You Can Evangelize, Bringing the Good News to All People, Evangelizing as a Parish, and Evangelization and Christian Unity. Though all the authors are experts in their fields, and many refer widely to scholarly documents, the articles themselves are well within the grasp of the average reader and the content is practical, interesting, and inspiring.

In describing the "new" evangelization, Dulles writes, "Vatican II generally meant the proclamation of the basic Christian message of salvation through Jesus Christ." Other authors discuss evidence that many Catholics are not clear on the message and have no personal relationship with Jesus, two elements integral to evangelization strategies employed by Southern Baptists and others. The collection also includes stories of personal conversion, such as "Evangelizing in Business and Government" by Michael Timmis and how-to articles such as "The Story of an Evangelizing Parish" by Fr. Marc Montminy.

Fr. Montminy's conclusion reminds us that Jesus didn't die on the cross and send the Spirit so we could be nice to each other, offer a variety of parish activities, and reach out to the poor. "Jesus wants everyone to be holy! Spiritual growth is for everyone, which means that the ordinariness of everyday life is meant to be caught up in the vision of Jesus and power of the Holy Spirit. For that to happen, each one of us must hear the Good News and respond to it." ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars GREMLINS soundtrack on CD!!
A truly rare soundtrack to find on CD.A fan of film scores, I bought it for the Jerry Goldsmith half of the album.Sound quality is excellent.Goldsmith fans looking for great themes should not miss this one, once they get over the sticker shock.

3-0 out of 5 stars GREAT MOVIE, SOUNDTRACK FULL OF MEMORIES!!!
I love the gremlins theme, so funny a great theme created by Jerry Goldsmith composer of many soundtracks such as the pretty scary "THE OMEN" and with this soundtrack he does the opposite, is a very funny theme made with cheesy 80's synthetizers, but it holds the test of time.
A great soundtrack for a funny and little bit scary movie, at least that's what I felt back in 1984 when I was 8, Buy it!you will remember your chilhood with a smile the second you hear those funny synthetizers.
Priceless!!!

Product Description
This book explores the life and times of Ecuador's most controversial politician within the broader context of the new political history, addressing five major themes of nineteenth-century Latin American history: the creation of political networks, the divisiveness of regionalism, the bitterness of the liberal-conservative ideological divide, the complicating problem of caudillismo, and the quest for progress and modernization. Two myths traditionally associated with García Moreno's rule are debunked. The first is that he created a theocracy in Ecuador. Instead, the book argues that he negotiated a concordat with the Papacy giving the national government control over the church's secular responsibilities, and subordinated the clergy, many of whom were highly critical of García Moreno, to the conservative state. A second, frequently repeated generalization is that he created a conservative dictatorship out of touch with the liberal age in which he lived. Instead, the book argues that moderates held sway during the first nine years of García Moreno's period of influence, and only during his final term did he achieve the type of conservative state he thought necessary to advance his progressive nation-building agenda. In sum, this book enriches our understanding of many of the notions of state formation by suggesting that conservatives like García Moreno envisioned a program of material progress and promoting national unity under a very different formula from that of nineteenth-century liberals. ...
