What do you classify as a miracle? I hope you will know that my book is about the miracles I have experienced--unbelievable ones. Yes, it is hard for me to believe it, but I believe it's because it happened to me. My prayer is that you will know that Jesus still works miracles. I am a walking miracle. I hear I do not look like what I have been through. Praise God. (I want God to get the glory from my story.) I have had a lot of tests, trials, and tribulations in my seventy-one years of life. But in order to have a testimony, you need to have a test. God knows I have had test after test. I do have a testimony--I am still here in spite of the death sentences that were on me (not twice, but three times) (but God). Everybody goes through things, but some are not death sentences like mine were. I will never give up and I can't give in. Never will I turn back. No, no, no. God has been too good to me. I want to share my story because hopefully it will help someone along the way. They could say, "If she made it through, I, too, can." I know God wants me to share this story. Hopefully it will inspire you. When I was going through my test, I was never afraid, although it could have been the end of my life, I am so grateful it wasn't. I stuck to God's Word, kept repeating them to myself over and over. God has not given me a spirit of fear but of love, power, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). He also said in his Word, "Fear not for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10). I also repeated Psalm 23:4 often, "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." So many scriptures kept me looking unto the hills from which cometh my help because I knew my help came from the Lord who made the heavens and the earth. This scripture would enter my thought process really often. And as Psalm 118:17 says, "I shall live and not die and proclaim God's glory and what the Lord has done" to give me this marvelous testimony. If you are going through something, be encouraged and know that God is faithful, and he takes care of his own.

The purpose for writing this book is to let people know no matter what they have gone through, there is hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. I would have lost all hope many times in my life, but something inside of me said someday my life will be happy. My latter days will be greater than the former. I held on to that belief. With God all things are possible to them who believe! You'll get there if you don't give up! My heart no longer aches because of the things that have happened to me. The hurt, rejection, bitterness, and anger are all gone. I have been restored. I can now believe that God can love me, and I receive His love. He has brought me into a deep, intimate relationship with the person of Jesus. I pray you rise higher and overcome every obstacle in your life, and that He help you to forget your trouble.

Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair.

This wide-ranging and insightful collection of interviews with D. A. Pennebaker (1925–2019) spans the prolific career of this pioneer of observational cinema. From the 1950s, Pennebaker made documentary films that revealed the world of politics, celebrity culture, and the music industry. Following his early collaborations with Robert Drew on a number of works for television, his feature-length portrait of Bob Dylan on tour in England in 1965 (the landmark film Dont Look Back) established so-called direct cinema as a form capable of achieving broad theatrical release. With Monterey Pop, Pennebaker inaugurated the popular mode of rock concert film (or “rockumentary”), a style of filmmaking he expanded on through a number of films, including Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and Depeche Mode: 101. Pennebaker always regarded collaboration as an integral part of his filmmaking methods. His long-running collaboration with Richard Leacock and subsequently his work with Chris Hegedus enriched his approach and, in the process, instituted collaboration as a working practice integral to American direct cinema. His other collaborations, particularly those with Jean-Luc Godard and Norman Mailer, resulted in innovative combinations of observational techniques and fictional aesthetics. Such films as The War Room, which was about the 1992 Democratic primaries and was nominated for an Academy Award, and the 2009 Kings of Pastry continue to explore the capacities of observational documentary. In 2012 Pennebaker was the first documentary filmmaker to be awarded an Academy Honorary Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
