The films of John Waters (b. 1946) are some of the most powerful send-ups of conventional film forms and expectations since Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dali’s Un Chien Andalou. In attempting to reinvigorate the experience of movie-going with his shock comedy, Waters has been willing to take the chance of offending nearly everyone. His characters have great dignity and resourcefulness, taking what’s different or unacceptable or grotesque about themselves, heightening it and turning it into a handmade personal style. The interviews collected here span Waters’s career from 1965 to 2010 and include a new one exclusive to this edition.

Author: Adam Sisman
Narrator: Sean Barrett
The extraordinary secret life of a great novelist, which his biographer could not publish while le Carré was alive. Secrecy came naturally to John le Carré, and there were some secrets that he fought fiercely to keep. Adam Sisman’s definitive biography, published in 2015, provided a revealing portrait of this fascinating man; yet some aspects of his subject remained hidden. Nowhere was this more so than in his private life. Apparently content in his marriage, the novelist conducted a string of love affairs over five decades. To these relationships he brought much of the tradecraft that he had learned as a spy-cover stories, cut-outs and dead letter boxes.

Free Download Adrian P. Rosen, "The Meaning and Redemptive-Historical Significance of John 20:22 "
English | ISBN: 1433192705 | 2022 | 342 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 36 MB
This monograph endeavors to clarify the nature and significance of the impartation of the Holy Spirit in John 20:22. Previous scholarship has produced a confusingly diverse and contradictory array of competing interpretations of this much-debated verse. The present work, which will prove immensely valuable to every scholar, pastor, and serious student interested in this question, carefully walks the reader through the interpretive issues. The book offers a more extensive survey of the history of interpretation of John 20:22 than that found in other works on Johannine pneumatology. It includes extensive exegetical analysis of the related motifs of the glorification of Jesus and eternal life as well as every passage in the Gospel of John mentioning the Spirit. The impartation of the Spirit on Resurrection Day is here clarified in terms of the nature of the gift itself, how this relates to Pentecost, and how this impartation constitutes a momentous step forward in the outworking of God’s unfolding plan in the history of redemption.

Free Download Lydia McGrew, "The Eye of the Beholder: The Gospel of John as Historical Reportage"
English | ISBN: 1947929151 | 2021 | 524 pages | EPUB | 915 KB
Why is the Gospel of John different from Matthew, Mark, and Luke? Many scholars have suggested that John felt more free than the other evangelists to massage the facts in the service of his theological goals and to put embellishments into the mouth of Jesus. Such freedom supposedly accounts for the discourses in John, for Jesus’ way of speaking in John, and for (at least) the time, place, and manner of various incidents. Analytic philosopher Lydia McGrew refutes these claims, arguing in detail that John never invents material and that he is robustly reliable and honestly historical.

Free Download John Loeser: The Man Who Reimagined Pain by Jane C. Ballantyne
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 188 Pages | ISBN : 3031390466 | 21.5 MB
This uniquely written title presents both the fascinating biography of Dr. John Loeser, a visionary pioneer in the field of pain medicine, as well as the compelling account of the birth and evolution of pain medicine in the United States and beyond. In this captivating work, readers are taken down the path of an extraordinary man who not only shaped the discipline of pain medicine but also embraced a multitude of passions, leaving an indelible mark on those lucky enough to know him. Prior to the pivotal role Loeser played in helping pain medicine emerge as a recognized field in the 1980s, he had already established himself as a highly respected neurosurgeon and co-author of a definitive text on neuroembryology. However, when he became immersed in the world of pain medicine, an entirely new frontier beckoned-one that held the promise of reducing human suffering and revolutionizing the way we understand and manage pain. Soon Loeser was deeply engaged in pain research and clinical practice and was advocating for better diagnostics, cutting-edge technologies, and a deeper understanding of pain mechanisms.

Free Download Brian E. Strayer, "John Byington"
English | ISBN: 0816362009 | 2018 | 304 pages | EPUB | 1529 KB
Probably the image most Adventists have of Elder John Byington is based on the only photograph they ve ever seen, which portrays the aged patriarch as a silver-haired, balding, bearded, wrinkled, scowling preacher in a black frock coat and white shirt buttoned tightly around his neck. But John Byington, the first president of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, was so much more. A loving family man and successful farmer and businessman, Elder Byington was also a social radical. More than just a token abolitionist, new evidence presented in this biography indicates that he actively assisted fugitive slaves along the famous Underground Railroad. Far from being an administrator only, to a significant degree, Elder Byington remained a circuit-riding revivalist preacher throughout his life. Every year, he set out to cheer the discouraged, reconcile differences, urge repentance, and build faith and unity by holding revival, testimony, and prayer meetings. By preaching short homilies about heaven, grace, prayer, conversion, and perseverance, Elder Byington helped the early Adventist Church grow stronger congregations and a tightly unified, rapidly growing denomination. This intriguing biography reveals a man who followed traditional models of leadership, yet did not shy away from the important issues of his day. His passion for encouraging the members and his commitment to ministry helped him make enormous contributions to the mission and development of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
