No other book has even come close to shaping our country and society like the King James Bible. Yet in this modern day; seminaries, preachers and churches are rejecting this the monarch of all books. The results have been spiritually and physically disastrous. The obituary of many churches and whole denominations has already been written in the pages of God's Word. This is a practical look at my beloved King James Bible absent any deep theology or dry manuscript evidence. Ponder these short reflections on the damage the departure from the King James has had on the church, the Christian world and the souls of men.

Out of a life of tragedy W.O. "Uncle Bill" Wheeless turned to poetry writing over 5,000 works before his death in 1963. This is a collection of his more humorous poems and limericks pulled from his greater volumes. Although he only had a basic elementary education and that in the late 1800's he lived in a world of rhyme.

Andy Warhol's The Chelsea Girls had its premiere at the Film-Maker's Cinematheque on 15 September 1966. It sold out a 200-seat theatre and went on to become the first film to move from the underground to commercial cinema. Since 1972, when Warhol pulled all of his films out of distribution, the public has had extremely limited access to The Chelsea Girls , outside of museum screenings. In honour of the 20th Anniversary of The Andy Warhol Museum and what would have been Warhol's 85th birthday, hundreds of Warhol's films - some never seen before - have been converted to a digital format with the partnership of The Andy Warhol Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Moving Picture Company (MPC), a Technicolor Company. This book is an in-depth look at Warhol's most famous film. It includes all newly digitized film stills, never-before-published transcripts, unpublished archival materials, and expanded information about each of the individual films that comprise the three- plus hour film. As the film alternates sound between the left and right screens, the book reproduces the transcript in complete form as one hears it, with imagery from the corresponding reels. There is also a full transcription of the unheard reels in the back of the book. This is a substantial contribution to the scholarship on Warhol's complex and most commercial film.
