Adventures in Biblical Thinking...

Dr. Elden Daniel

The Adventures in Biblical Thinking Think about Series is an invitation to think. Each Volume is focuses on separate topics. In Volume One the topics are: Life, Faith, Abiding and the Attributes of God. The adventures are designed to stimulate thinking, to generate wonder, to increase understanding and to inspire. Each adventure includes a set of exercises that can be used to reflect on the content in the adventure or could be used for discussion starters if the adventures are being used in a small group Bible study. When reading in print it is easy to stop and think about something you have just read or even to go back and read it again. This can be a challenge in an audio book. I suggest that you might want to stop the recording and think about some parts of the adventure or even backup and hear them again. You may want to listen to an adventure more than once. They are short. Print versions of the adventures can be found at this website: https://adventuresinbiblicalthinking.home.blog/ Thinking involves pondering, reflecting, analyzing, exploring, examining, meditating and maybe more. In the Word of God, we are told what to do, who to be and what to think about. Think about this verse: Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things (Philippians 4:8). Unless otherwise indicate the verses quoted are from the New International Version translation.

Lucille - The Life of Lucille Ball

Kathleen Brady

Everyone loved Lucy, the scheming, madcap redhead who ruled television for more than twenty years. In life, however, Lucille Ball presented a far more complex and contradictory personality than was ever embodied by the television Lucy. In Lucille: The Life of Lucille Ball Kathleen Brady presents the actress as a fully rounded human being, often at odds with the image she presented as an entertainment icon. Brady has gone far beyond the typical celebrity biography to present a funny, unflinching and ultimately moving portrait of Lucille Ball as a performing artist, daughter, mother, friend, colleague, and television mogul. Many think they know the story of Lucille Ball’s life, but Brady provides new details and a fresh perspective on this complex woman through a wealth of anecdotes and firsthand accounts. Lucille Ball is revealed not only as a television archetype and influential icon of postwar American culture, but as a driven yet fragile human being who spent her life struggling to create of life of normalcy, but ultimately failed—even as she succeeded in bringing laughter of millions of fans. In researching Lucille, Brady interviewed more than 150 people from her hometown to Hollywood. She spoke with her grade school classmates, and those like Katherine Hepburn and Ginger Rodgers who met her when she arrived in Hollywood in the 1930s. She gained insights from those who knew her before her fame and from those she loved throughout her life. Film, radio and television history come to life with the appearances on these pages of such greats as The Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton, Louis B. Mayer, and of course Desi Arnaz, who march and pratfall through the pages of this outstanding biography.
