His major motion pictures were touchstones for an entire generation. He made thirty-two of them (and as many silents), including Jezebel, Wuthering Heights, The Letter, The Little Foxes, Mrs. Miniver, The Best Years of Our Lives, Roman Holiday, The Heiress, Ben-Hur and Funny Girl. Wyler's pictures won thirty-eight Academy Awards in all, twice as many as any other director's. Their 127 Oscar nominations - half of them in best picture, director and acting categories - are not remotely approached by the closest competition. Wyler also guided more actors to Academy Awards than anyone - thirteen of thirty-five nominations. And he himself won three Oscars of twelve nominations, in addition to Hollywood's most prestigious prizes, the Irving G. Thalberg Award, the D.W. Griffith Award and the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award. A Talent for Trouble was written with the cooperation of the Wyler family, who provided access to William Wyler's previously undiscovered private papers. The book is based also on the author's extensive research and interviews with more than a hundred of Wyler's stars, professional associates and friends." . Book. …

The Marchesa Origo has drawn on this material to paint, in detail, a picture of Italian domestic life on the eve of the Renaissance. ; G. Book.…

He thinks in imagery, and that imagery is of a very bold and picturesque quality. He never fails to arrest and retain attention."--The Dundee Advertiser ; "A careful consideration of the various points raised in 'Ecce Homo' induced the present writer to undertake a re-survey of the Life and Doctrine of Jesus Christ. He found, however, that he could not occupy the standpoint from which 'Ecce Homo' had been written, without, as it appeared to him, ignoring the mystery of the Incarnation, and thus putting himself into a false relation to all subsequent facts in Christian history. The following pages will show that on several points the writer finds himself in perfect coincidence with the author of 'Ecce Homo'" ; Contents: The Holy Thing -- The Written Word -- The Inauguration -- The Diabolic Phase -- The Mighty Works -- The Calling Of Men -- Christ Rejecting Men -- The Church -- The Church Left In The World -- Christ Adjusting Human Relations -- Christ The Contemporary Of All Ages -- These Sayings Of Mine -- Christ As An Interlocutor -- Eternal Punishments -- The Cross Of Christ -- The Relation Of The Cross To The Law -- The Relation Of The Cross To Practical Morals -- The Posthumous Ministry Of Jesus Christ -- Controversial Notes On "Ecce Homo" ; VG.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 178 pages ; 22 cm OCLC 4209340 ; red and black paper wrappers ; copy of Wick Broomall, Jr. with his name on front endpaper ; Wick Broomall, Jr. was born on this day, January 31, 1902 to parents Wick Broomall, Sr. and his wife, Annie Nixon Broomall. Their son was educated at Maryville College, graduating in 1925 and then preparing for the ministry by attending Princeton Theological Seminary, from 1925-1929. Loraine Boettner was attending Princeton at that same time. Wick earned the Th.B. degree in 1928 while concurrently earning an M.A. from Princeton University, and he then earned the Th.M. degree in 1929. That was the year that was marked by the reorganization of Princeton Seminary, a change in the governance of the school which allowed modernists to take control and a change which drove conservatives like Robert Dick Wilson, J. Gresham Machen, O.T. Allis, and several other professors to resign in order to start Westminster Theological Seminary.By August of 1929, Wick was ordained by Birmingham Presbytery and he briefly served as stated supply for the PCUS church in Montevallo, Alabama, 1929-30, before taking a post teaching at the Evangelical Theological College, 1930-32 (this school was renamed Dallas Theological Seminary in 1936). Returning to Birmingham, he pastored the Handley Memorial church, 1933-37 while also serving as the founding President Birmingham School of the Bible (now Southeastern Bible College). Rev. Broomall also served churches in Georgia and South Carolina and taught at Columbia Bible College, 1938-51, before transferring his credentials into the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church and taught at Erskine Theological Seminary, 1952-58, then was received back into the PCUS and pastored the Westminster Presbyterian church in Augusta, Georgia, 1958-69. While serving as one of the founding faculty at the Atlanta School of Biblical Studies, 1971-75, he was also pastor of the PCUS church in Sparta, Georgia, 1972-75, and as one of the founding fathers of the PCA, led the Sparta church in becoming one of the founding churches of the new denomination.The author of a number of books and articles, Rev. Broomall was also a founding member of the Evangelical Theological Society, well-known among their number. " ; A spiritual biography of the "father of modern missions,"Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret poses one question: What empowered Hudson Taylor's ministry in China? The answer is unfolded in these pages. Written by Taylor's son and daughter-in-law, it shows us a man with fierce faith who believed that God truly would fuflill all He promises in Scripture. For Christians longing for the inward joy and power that Hudson Taylor had, they can find the secret to it here. The secret, it turns out, is available to any who call on Christ's name."An easy, non-self-denying life will never be one of power," Taylor said. "Fruit-bearing involves cross-bearing. There are not two Christs--an easygoing one for easygoing Christians, and a suffering, toiling one for exceptional believers. There is only one Christ. Are you willing to abide in Him, and thus to bear much fruit?" ; repair to spine ; G. Book.…
