Too many consider the victorious Christian life a ''super deluxe'' version instead of normality and are ''so busy enduring their failure that they have no time to enjoy their faith.'' The mystery of what Christians have been born again to ''become'' is in Jesus Christ - the secret of a changed life is an exchanged life.
Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, motivated by all too human temptations, but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love. Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.
This biography of Sean Connery takes the reader from Connery's birth in 1930 in a working-class district of Edinburgh to the present as one of the most uncompromising of film actors. Connery became an actor almost by mistake when a friend suggested he answer an advertisement for extras for the touring stage production of "South Pacific". From there, he gradually built a reputation until he landed the part of James Bond in "Dr No". Determined not to be typecast, he abandoned Bond after five films, but was twice enticed back. The author also chronicles Connery's private life, including his marriages to Diane Cilento and Micheline Roquebrune, his work for charity and his political involvement in his beloved Scotland.
