Description

Robert Altman is the most quintessentially American of contemporary directors. His films cut across virtually all genres, and though few have met with huge commercial success (apart from the blockbuster M*A*S*H), Altman's unique vision of our society, his distinctive directorial signature, and his defiance of conventional film "language" have all helped reinvent the way we look at America. Keyssar shows why it is time for us to consider this unusual auteur among the pantheon of great directors. She identifies the peculiarities of the Altman style, discusses his films from both a feminist and political perspective, and offers a chapter-length discussion of one of his most important films, Nashville (1975), a "gleeful vision of an American landscape perpetually exploding upon itself."--From publisher description

午夜祈祷的力量
By Gabriel Agbo
这本名为《午夜祈祷的力量》的书是肯定会是关于最全面和最强大的精神战争书之一。书名的选择来自于丰富的经验，令人不寒而栗的见证和忏悔，以及对上帝之道的仔细研究。这确实是一部内容丰富、研究充分的著作。它被描述为一本不可思议的书。在这里，你将了解到在晚上十一点到凌晨三点之间所做的祈祷中所蕴含的巨大，却尚未被充分发掘的精神力量。你对于赞美、祈祷和禁食的爆发性力量知之甚少吗？你知道神的使者，神的灵和神的火在我们对抗黑暗王国战争中扮演着什么角色吗？在这本书中，你将直接从以前伟大的神秘大师那里听到耶稣的名字和他的血对撒旦王国造成的巨大破坏性影响。当撒旦和他的恶魔直接接触到宇宙中这两种最强大的元素时会发生什么呢？为什么撒旦在一次会议中因为提到耶稣的名字而从椅子上摔下来呢？你知道敌人对教会，基督徒和牧师的战争策略吗？他是如何打倒，甚至是杀死福音的牧师的？谁是教会中黑暗王国的代理人？祈祷勇士应该扮演什么角色？撒但王国为何对人类的血肉之躯感兴趣呢？为什么人类要在神秘的世界里献祭？阅读来自撒旦的前代理人，甚至媒体关于牺牲人类和其他令人不寒而栗，不可印刷的行为的各种报道。为什么一个女人会摘下一个尚在爬行的婴儿眼睛，并用她所有的哭喊声和呻吟来屠杀她，然后把她的肉捣烂吃掉呢？神秘与性别有什么关联？邪恶的灵魂，契约和诅咒能通过性别传播吗？为什么一个男人会和一个小男孩睡觉，并把蛇放在他的肚子里，而只是为了获得权力，财富和地位？你还会发现其他爆炸性的话题，如与上帝摔跤，捆绑和放松，砸门，打开门，上帝的整个盔甲，天堂之门和地狱之门。这本书的二十一充满力量章节，肯定会让你为上帝而着火。我敢打赌你以前从来没有读过这类的书籍。愿上帝保佑你!Translator: Gabriel AgboPUBLISHER: TEKTIME
