Characters whom readers have come to know and love from previous volumes return here, including Joshua Steed, who, although reconciled to his family now, finds that his commission in the Missouri state militia forces him to be alighted with those opposing the Mormons. Once again author Gerald Lund skillfully recreates dramatic scenes from Latter-day Saint history, transporting readers back in time to witness soul-stirring events and to meet unforgettable people. Readers of The Work and the Glory may well find that this new volume -- with its powerful account of endurance and faith refined by the fires of affliction &is the most engaging and moving installment in the series so far. 17 disc box-set.

Embracing Brokenness: How God Refines Us Through Life's Disappointments
He loves me, He loves me not. When you encounter a painful event in your life—divorce, death of a family member, financial setback—you might wonder if God really loves you: "If He cares so much about me, why does He put me through times of suffering and brokenness?" Actually, God doesn't use tough times to punish you—He uses them to help you reach a level of spiritual maturity that cannot otherwise be reached. What feels uncomfortable now only makes you stronger and more beautiful down the road. In fact, God uses the breaking process out of love, hoping you'll respond to it in a way that brings you closer to Him. In Embracing Brokenness, Pastor Alan Nelson offers an encouraging look at the hopeful side of brokenness. Understanding the process of brokenness won't necessarily stop the hurting, but it will make the pain much more bearable. And you won't have to play the game of "He loves me, He loves me not," because you'll clearly know the depth of God's love for you..

The Actor's Wheel of Connection: How To Integrate Your Skills and Refine Your Performance (Career Development)
This exciting new book by Richard Brestoff is a breakthrough It will change the way in which acting is discussed and taught in the future. Simply put, Richard Brestoff's The Actor's Wheel of Connection puts together the craft of acting for the actor.You'll experience no more conflict between inner and outer technique; no more conflict between personal truth and character; no more barrier between actor and audience. Using exercises and a unique troubleshooting section after each chapter, The Actor's Wheel of Connection offers a complete, comprehensive, and graspable new approach to acting that includes the entire chain of performance-from personal truth to audience reception.Based on Stanislavsky but applicable to all styles, the actor's wheel is made up of six interconnected spokes. They are: · connection to self · connection to others · connection to circumstances · connection to text · connection to character · connection to audience Each spoke is discussed in detail with new examinations of personalization, objectives, strategies, transitions, character, and that taboo subject, the audience. But though each spoke is looked at separately, the wisdom of the book lies in the knowledge that the wheel must be set in motion-that is when the spokes disappear, as they must in all great acting.Brestoff illustrates his points with brilliantly chosen examples from films and plays and with insights from Robert Lewis, Elia Kazan, Evgeny Vakhtangov, T.S. Eliot, Kevin Kline, and even Lance Armstrong and Sir Isaac Newton! Fresh and wise, this book is a must for actors and teachers alike.This book shows the actor how to put it all together, from connection between the actors, through circumstance, text, and character into the soul of an audience..
