Dr. McGee went to be with the L-rd in 1988, but his work and dedication to expository Bible preaching lives on in his "Thru The Bible" commentaries.

Ezekiel is another masterpiece. Dr. McGee's examination of this apocalyptic book is simple, yet meticulously delivered. He eschews fanciful speculation and instead seeks to let the Scriptures speak for themselves as he expounds on the major themes; judgement on the whole house of Israel, the Holiness of God, and Israel's future restoration.

Dr. McGee's books are excellent for personal devotional time, or in a small group Bible study.

"From 1945 through 1958 America's iconoclastic poet--the flamboyant Ezra Pound, one of the most influential individuals of his generation--was held in a Washington, D.C. mental institution, accused of treason. Pound had merely done what he had always done--spoken his mind. Unfortunately for Pound, however, he had made the error of criticizing the American government in a series of broadcasts from Italy during World War II. For that he was made to pay the price. The July 1995 issue of The Barnes Review told the story of Pound's travails. Was Pound a traitor--or a prophet? GET THIS BOOK AND Read his words and judge for yourself." EZRA POUND'S RADIO SPEECHES IS A MUST READ for every American. If you need more encouragement to take the plunge and buy this book, Check out the December 1997 BARNES REVIEW, "What did Ezra Pound Really Say" by Michael Collins Piper on the internet. TBR presents a fascinating in-depth overview of precisely what Pound had to say in those now-infamous broadcasts. Search for it on the internet,(Amazon does not allow direct links) I GUARANTEE IT IS WELL WORTH THE READ!

Armando Iannuci, the brains behind the British comedic success of On The Hour and The Friday Night Armistice is back - in book form - to twist the demented minds of the people he satirises: you, the general public. From the notions and misconceptional uses of music and sound, to a deranged psychotic sociopath wanting to form his own cult, this book analysis and swiftly tears apart virtually everything we know and experience. With such articulation and broadband humour, Ianucci deserves parise (and a bit more money) from this perfectly formed book. As entertainment it excels beyond anything sane and satisfactory, and as for fact... well, you'd be better off with a copy of Dicken's A Tale of two Cities. This book lies to its top teeth but leaves you with the feeling that, if only all of us were as insane as the author, perhaps we're not all as insane as we appear to be. Feel sorry for him and laughs your guts out. And maybe a bit more. Top notch stuff.

This is a superb production dramatized by Bert Coules(of Sherlock Holmes fame). The story lines, acting, sound effects and music kept me on the the edge of my seat. Highly recommended!!!

Verdi's two Comedies philosophically, and emotionally, frame his long career. While writing Il Giorno di Regno, his first comedy, and only his second opera, the rather naive young Verdi lost his first wife and their children in a fire. Needless to say, the opera wasn't very funny, and the audience booed it off the stage. Verdi quit Opera...he thought for good. However, his self-imposed exile didn't last long, and Verdi eventually wrote several of Opera's greatest masterpieces. He also loved Giuseppina, first as his paramour, eventually as his second wife, became one of Europe's most generous philanthropists, and admired his great rival Richard Wagner, who referred to Verdi simply as "pig." Arrigo Boito, a genius in his own right (if you don't believe it, get a good recording of Mefistofele), testified in Italian newspapers that Verdi's "old ways" of writing Opera were permanently invalidated by Wagner. Yet one day, eight years after Verdi had retired for the second time, Boito, the great Verdi hater, came to Sant' Agata, hat in hand, to ask Verdi to compose music for two Shakespearean music dramas he had written. The second of those music dramas, Falstaff, was to be Verdi's second comedy, and his last opera. Falstaff is a towering monument to artistic collaboration. In it, Verdi, Boito, and Shakespeare tell us that life is a great cosmic joke, and, since we cannot escape being its brunt, we might as well laugh along. Dover republished an early Ricordi edition of Falstaff. Ricordi is, simply put, the most useful publisher of late romantic Italian opera, especially of Verdi and Puccini. The scholarship is top notch, making this Dover edition quite a useful volume. The book itself is, as always, well crafted and easy to read. The score may be too large, and the book too small, to make this volume useful for the podium, but at home, in front of the stereo, it's invaluable. Falstaff is one of the west's great example's of existentialism expressed in artistic form. If you are not familiar with this opera, I strongly recommend you buy this score, and a good recording to go with it, and knock yourself out.

Great story lines...great acting and music! I just love the Radio Theatres put out by Focus on the Family!

Wow! This is my fave TV show. This is good info, fine photos.. and if you missed the first part of the first year, it's a MUST!

It would be morally wrong for me to give this book anything less than five stars, seeing as it was written by my granfather. However, while, this book is outdated by some years it is extremely informative and quite interesting to read. And for the radio lover, electrician, or engineer this book can be useful for a weekend project with children.

The title of David Bouchier's latest book says it well. "A Few Well Chosen Words: More Wit and Wisdom from Public Radio" is a pleasurable, hilarious read. According to studies, laughter improves our health and extends our life span. By all means, then, launch 2008 with this excellent read, for it will have you laughing aloud, thereby enhancing your own well-being even as it deepens your insight into our quirky customs. An award-winning author, radio essayist, retired professor and humorist, Bouchier offers his droll wit in this collection, which contains just the right number of well-chosen words. Each topic is presented with a unique twist. For instance, in his introductory essay "All American," he begins his inimitable satire with "everybody in the world, except the French, wants to be American." Preceding this essay is a quote from E. M. Forster: "If one cannot reform the world, one can at least laugh at it." Bouchier knows how to do that, and he knows how to entice the reader to do the same.
