This book is becoming more important and relevant with every passing hour. There is no time to waste in learing how to navigate our secular age. Our Christian faith and influence can often appear shallow without practical application to business ministry and organisational leadership.This book plumbs new depths in the necessary foundations for leadership and for aspiring leaders in business, ministry and media. It explores how leaders manage the necessary call to action in emerging from the deceptively treacherous waters of our Secular Age.Prepare to discover the source of inspiration for new strategies empowering the resources already in your hand to engage in the public battle for hearts and minds.Uncovering the riches of biblical 'transcendence' unlocks the power that reshapes human desires.Only a change of season can reverse the encroaching secularization that marginalises faith and threatens to trap even unwary Christians in a secular dimension.Public Christians in a Secular Age introduces the idea that the future of faith requires Christians in business, ministry and media not to be 'secular' but to reimagine life and activity according to a higher purpose.The environment we create, the products of our work, and the leaders we raise up, may be more powerful than we ever imagined.

Eine fotografische Hommage an das französische ChansonWie die Mode und der Wein gehört das Chanson zu den nationalen Heiligtümern Frankreichs, kaum eine andere musikalische Disziplin ist so verbunden mit der Kultur und dem Wesen eines Landes. Liebe und Revolution, Nostalgie und Heimat, der Spott auf die Bourgeoisie und immer wieder Paris - so in etwa lassen sich die Leitmotive des französischen Chansons zusammenfassen. Große Dichter und Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts wie Jacques Prévert, Louis Aragon und Jean-Paul Sartre lieferten die Texte für Chansons, welche dann von Ikonen wie Edith Piaf, Charles Aznavour, Barbara, Jacques Brel und Serge Gainsbourg interpretiert wurden. Ihr Erbe wird heute von Größen wie ZAZ oder Benjamin Biolay lebendig gehalten und in die Zukunft getragen. Bebildert mit stimmungsvollen Fotografien, unter anderem von Robert Doisneau, taucht dieses Buch ein in die Geschichte einer der sinnlichsten und poetischsten Musiken der Welt. Eine fotografische Hommage an Frankreichs lyrischste, romantischste und poetischste Musiktradition!

Popularly known today as a radio and television quiz program designed to humiliate its contestants through practical jokes, Truth or Consequences inspired imitators by raising the bar for audience participation. Created by Ralph Edwards, the program quickly became known for contestants facing off against custard pies and seltzer bottles, all while it attained a success with charitable contributions which remains unparalleled in the history of broadcasting entertainment. Along with raising millions of dollars for various health agencies and wartime projects, a half-billion dollars in "E" Bonds were sold through the Truth or Consequences broadcasts.Over the years, Truth or Consequences was instrumental in establishing both The Jimmy Fund and the American Heart Association, while the American Cancer Society and the March of Dimes benefited financially through a series of ongoing contests. Following the Second World War, the series served as a public service message for rehabilitating war veterans, setting the stage for another successful Edwards program, This is Your Life. In 1948, Jack Benny secretly agreed to participate in The Walking Man contest, ultimately positioning the quiz program into a national phenomenon. Two years later, the small town of Hot Springs, New Mexico agreed to permanently change its name to Truth or Consequences, making headlines across the globe.Besides the basic history of the quiz program, from concept/origin to the transition from radio to television, this book documents many stories of contestants and charitable contributions proving that Truth or Consequences was not just an ordinary quiz program. Also included are more than 200 never-before-published photographs, recollections from contestants and crew, and a detailed episode guide.

From the beginning of commercial radio in 1920, Oklahoma City was on the leading edge of this new enterprise. WKY radio went on the air in January 1920, making it one of the earliest radio stations in America. Soon, the station began broadcasting regular programming and was the third station in America and the first west of the Mississippi to broadcast regular daily programs. In August 1928, E.K. Gaylord, owner of the Daily Oklahoman newspaper, purchased the station, and in December of that year, WKY became affiliated with the National Broadcasting Company (NBC). Gaylord's long association with NBC president David Sarnoff resulted in WKY originating programs for NBC out of the Oklahoma City studio from the mid-1930s extending through WKY-TV in the 1970s. WKY and KOMA became the launching pad for several well-known public figures, such as Walter Cronkite, Curt Gowdy, and Todd Storz.

Kay Kyser was one of the giants of the American music business of the Twentieth Century. He was a bandleader for some twenty years, roughly the 1930s and 1940s. During the 1940s he was the most popular bandleader of his time-ore celebrated than Glenn Miller and the Dorseys and even Guy Lombardo. But today, for some reason, nobody seems to remember him! This book tries to correct thisoversight.Born in 1905 in Rocky Mount, N.C, Kay Kyser studied law at the University of North Carolina but - influenced by bandleader Hal Kemp - decided to become a bandleader himself. Though not a musician, Kyser developed into a good frontman and, with George Duning as musical director and arranger, after some time his band developed into one of the better "Sweet" - or "Mickey-Mouse" -bands. This was the Depression era and the band struggled for some years for success. When they finally hit the big time, it was through the medium of radio.Kyser's Kollege of Musical Knowledge was the most popular radio show at that time. During World War II Kyser devoted most of his time to performing for the men and women serving in the military. In the early Forties he changed his style from sweet to a moderate swing style that proved popular with the younger crowd. Kyser and his band appeared in several Hollywood films where he-unlike his contemporaries-was also featured as an actor. He disbanded his group in 1948, working in televison for some time and then was active in the Christian Science movement. He died in 1985.Thinking of You contains the life story of Kay Kyser plus short biographies of the musicians and vocalists who worked for him. Also included is a list of his films, his LPs and CDs including his million sellers.
