A repackaged edition of the revered author’s spiritual memoir, in which he recounts the story of his divine journey and eventual conversion to Christianity. C. S. Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—takes readers on a spiritual journey through his early life and eventual embrace of the Christian faith. Lewis begins with his childhood in Belfast, surveys his boarding school years and his youthful atheism in England, reflects on his experience in World War I, and ends at Oxford, where he became "the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England." As he recounts his lifelong search for joy, Lewis demonstrates its role in guiding him to find God.

People hunting people for sport--an idea both shocking and fascinating. In 1924 Richard Connell published a short story that introduced this concept to the world, where it has remained ever since--as evidenced by the many big- and small-screen adaptations and inspirations. Since its publication, Connell's award-winning "The Most Dangerous Game" has been continuously anthologized and studied in classrooms throughout America. Raising questions about the nature of violence and cruelty, and the ethics of hunting for sport, the thrilling story spawned a new cinematic subgenre, beginning with RKO's 1932 production of The Most Dangerous Game, and continuing right up to today. This book examines in-depth all the cinematic adaptations of the iconic short story. Each film chapter has a synopsis, a "How Dangerous Is It?" critique, an overall analysis, a production history, and credits. Five additional chapters address direct to video, television, game shows, and almost "dangerous" productions. Photographs, extensive notes, bibliography and index are included.

When the beautiful Taiwanese model Kaelyn Yen is drugged and held captive by the manager of one of America’s most coveted modelling agencies, she realises the recent deaths of her sister, mother, and father were not accidents, but meticulously planned events initiated by her Triad-affiliated relatives. Soon after, the Mafia assumes control, and Kaelyn’s boyfriend joins forces with the FBI to bring her extortionists to justice. However, not all schemes go according to plan. What begins as a routine kidnap and rescue soon escalates into an international pursuit through the streets of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Taipei, and Hong Kong. It leads to the torture and murder of Kaelyn’s two best friends, and causes the FBI’s key witness to commit suicide just weeks before she is due to give evidence in court. Spanning the globe from America to Asia, and set amidst a backdrop of Hollywood glitz-and-glamor, mixed cultures, and criminal activity, Death on Pause is a riveting crime/thriller based on a real person’s living nightmare and the events that have since dominated her once blessed and envious life.
