Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the challenges military chaplains face amidst media evangelists who are increasingly exploiting television's vast reach to exert a powerful influence on American culture and religious life. As these media preachers present simplistic and often misleading messages that appeal to mass audiences, the author explores how military chaplains can effectively counter their negative aspects while strengthening their own communication skills to be more effective messengers of the Gospel. Through examining the impact of electronic churches on local congregations and the unique needs of enlisted men and women, this book provides valuable strategies for chaplains to navigate this ever-changing religious landscape and continue to minister to the spiritual needs of military communities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Very good. Pinholing in corners with slight loss. Closed tear extending 1 inch into printed area in lower left corner professionally repaired on verso. Some creasing. Size 22.5 x 34.5 Inches. This is a 1983 David Andrade pictorial map of Los Angeles celebrating the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Andrade's map highlights event venues, cultural attractions, and businesses across Los Angeles and the surrounding area. Even with the piece's evident charm, Andrade's work was an 'unofficial' map of the Games, meaning it would not have been sold at official Olympic kiosks and venues. A Closer Look Olympic venues, such as Dodger Stadium, the Rose Bowl, the Anaheim Convention Center, and the Long Beach Convention Center immediately draw the viewer's attention as they all feature larger-than-life athletes participating in their events. The Hollywood Sign also draws the eye, along with Griffith Observatory and Disneyland. Green road signs mark L.A.'s freeways and interstates (almost all clogged with bumper-to-bumper traffic). More signs mark The Valley and point the way to Palm Springs. Intermingled among the featured locations are stores, shopping malls, and restaurants. Also, not to be forgotten, L.A.'s beaches are identified by name. 1984 Summer Olympics The 1984 Summer Olympics took place in Los Angeles, California, from July 28 to August 12, 1984, and were officially the Games of the XXIII Olympiad. 14 Eastern Bloc countries, including the Soviet Union and East Germany, boycotted the Los Angeles games in response to the U.S.-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. Nonetheless, 140 nations took part, a record at the time. The games included 221 events in 21 sports and took place in Los Angeles and around Southern California. Sites that hosted events included the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Dodger Stadium, and the Rose Bowl. The region's universities, including UCLA, USC, Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount, California State University Los Angeles, and California State University Fullerton, also provided their facilities. The United States led the medal count, followed by Romania (the only Eastern Bloc country not to boycott the Games) and West Germany. The 1984 Games are considered the most financially successful in the modern Olympics, generating a $250 million profit due to low construction costs thanks to existing infrastructure and private corporate funding.
