Synopsis

"Comedy Borders" explores the intricate boundaries of humor across different cultures, legal systems, and political landscapes. It examines how what's considered funny varies dramatically worldwide, influenced by societal norms and historical contexts. The book highlights the power of comedy not only to entertain but also to challenge authority, shape public discourse, and even drive social change. For instance, jokes that are harmless in one country may be deemed offensive or even illegal in another, reflecting differing cultural values and legal frameworks.

 
The book uses a multi-faceted approach, beginning with a historical overview of comedic expression and then presents case studies from various countries to analyze instances where comedic expression has been censored or celebrated. It also explores the legal frameworks that govern speech and the socio-political impact of humor. The goal is to understand how freedom of speech balances with concerns about public order and national security.

 
It is structured in three parts, each building upon the last to offer a comparative analysis of the factors shaping comedy's boundaries. Ultimately, "Comedy Borders" offers valuable insights into the role of humor in an interconnected world. It adopts a fact-based approach, drawing upon legal documents, historical records, media analysis, and interviews, making it a valuable resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in social justice and the power of comedic expression.

    NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!Read by the author.When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of anxious, out-of-control thoughts?Perhaps you were overwhelmed with the weight of worry, the fear of failing, or the grip of guilt. The way we think directly impacts our joy and peace. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life. 
    Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Rom.12:2 esv). Tame your thoughts and transform your life! 
    In Tame Your Thoughts, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado explores three key thought management tools and then applies them to the most common thought problems: anxiety, guilt, rejection, and others. God loves us too much to let us lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made our brains; he can retrain our brains. God has not left us alone in this battle of the mind.Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. You will learn to:Take thoughts captiveTest each message against the truth of ScriptureInterrupt poisonous thought threadsThink and act like Jesus If God can resurrect the dead, can he not resurrect hope? Defy depression? Clarify confusion? Silence shame? Destroy doubt? Banish bitterness?Take God at his word. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7 nkjv, emphasis added). With God as their helper, you will discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. A new person will begin to emerge.We can tame each thought, friends. 
    Figures, reflection questions, and a scripture database can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    “Reconstruct[s] Civil War cold cases and crimes through the people who lived to tell about them . . . a unique history.”—MLive   “Crime did not take a holiday during the Civil War, far from it. As Tobin Buhk shows in this fast-paced narrative, the war created new opportunities to gain profits from illegal activities, to settle old scores against personal enemies under the cover of fighting the nation's enemies, to pillage, plunder, and murder amid the carnage and destruction that seemed to offer license to legitimize such crimes. Students of the Civil War will find new information in this readable account.” —James M. McPherson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Battle Cry of Freedom   This history of the rampant crime that took place in both the North and South amid the chaos of the American Civil War examines cases including currency counterfeiting; the tyrannical actions of Gen. Benjamin Butler; the murder of Gen. Earl van Dorn; the Detroit Draft Riot; the Rebel plot to burn New York City; raids by William Quantrill’s Bushwhackers; the Fort Pillow Massacre; the horrific prison conditions at Andersonville; the fate of the Lincoln assassination conspirators; and more.  Includes photographs
