  War Is a Racket is Marine General Smedley Butler's classic treatise on why wars are conducted, who profits from them, and who pays the price. Few people are as qualified as General Butler to advance the argument encapsulated in his book's sensational title. When War Is a Racket was first published in 1935, Butler was the most decorated American soldier of his time. He had led several successful military operations in the Caribbean and in Central America, as well as in Europe during the First World War. Despite his success and his heroic status, however, Butler came away from these experiences with a deeply troubled view of both the purpose and the results of warfare.

  Making something beautiful in a broken world can be harrowing work, and it can’t be done alone.    Over the last twenty years, Andrew Peterson has performed thousands of concerts, published four novels, released ten albums, taught college and seminary classes on writing, founded a nonprofit ministry for Christians in the arts, and executive-produced a film—all in a belief that God calls us to proclaim the gospel and the coming kingdom using whatever gifts are at our disposal. He’s stumbled along the way, made mistake after mistake, and yet has continually encountered the grace of God through an encouraging family, a Christ-centered community of artists in the church, and the power of truth, beauty, and goodness in Scripture and the arts.    While there are many books about writing, none deal first-hand with the intersection of songwriting, storytelling, and vocation, along with nuts-and-bolts exploration of the great mystery of creativity. In Adorning the Dark, Andrew describes six principles for the writing life:      serving the work  serving the audience  selectivity  discernment  discipline  community   Through stories from his own journey, Andrew shows how these principles are not merely helpful for writers and artists, but for anyone interested in imitating the way the Creator interacts with his creation.  This book is both a memoir of Andrew’s journey and a handbook for artists, written in the hope that his story will provide encouragement to others stumbling along in pursuit of a calling to adorn the dark with the light of Christ.

  PARASITE 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY BONG JOON HO 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Parasite is a South Korean dark comedy thriller directed by Bong Joon Ho. The film follows the Kim family, struggling in poverty, as they scheme to infiltrate the wealthy Park family by posing as unrelated, highly qualified individuals. As the Kims secure jobs in the Park household, the story explores themes of class disparity, deception, and survival. Through its mix of humor and social commentary, Parasite critiques the division between the rich and the poor, using sharp satire and suspense to reflect on the complexities of human ambition and societal inequalities. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The house of the Parks, which is credited to a fictional architect named Namgoong Hyeonja in the film, was actually a fully constructed set.” 
    
  “Ki-woo's role as a tutor was chosen by director Bong Joon Ho to demonstrate the only plausible way that individuals from two vastly different social classes could meet and interact in the context of the story.” 
    
  “Bong Joon Ho created numerous sketches for the design of the wealthy family’s house. When the production designer shared the designs with an actual architect, the architect remarked that no one would build a house in such a ridiculous manner.” 
    
  “Parasite won the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, making history as the first Korean film to earn the prestigious award.”
