  • All Adrift in Charismatic Ports of Call
    John Howard Reid
    Spiced with humor, this is a traditional yet ground-breaking book of original poetry that revels in some unexpected delights such as, in two or three poems of the one hundred and twenty-one, a few stanzas in which the rhyme is supplied but the line itself not fully completed, leaving the reader to have some fun filling in the three or four pretty obvious but missing words!

  • Big Screen Bible Lore
    John Howard Reid
    Hollywood has had an off and on romance with the Bible -- thanks largely to Cecil B. DeMille whose ground-breaking silent picture 'The King of Kings' has rarely been equalled for its faithfulness and fidelity, and certainly not in its dreadful re-make by producer Sam Bronston and director Nicholas Ray. This book examines both the hits and misses in the Bible stakes, as well as ...
