How did a libertine who lacks even the most basic knowledge of the Christian faith win 81 percent of the white evangelical vote in 2016? And why have white evangelicals become a presidential reprobate's staunchest supporters? These are among the questions acclaimed historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez asks in Jesus and John Wayne, which delves beyond facile headlines to explain how white evangelicals have brought us to our fractured political moment. ![]() ![]() Thus we have as our introduction to Riddley and his world: On my naming day when I come 12 I gone front spear and kilt a wyld boar he parbly ben the las wyld pig on the Bundel Downs any how there hadnt ben none for a long time befor him nor I aint looking to see none agen. Admittedly his language isn’t easy to slip right into given that he has created his own broken, not quite phonetic, future version of English that is further complicated for many readers by being based on the Kentish dialect. Many, upon reading the first page, will dismiss the book as “gimmicky” (I am growing to hate that term as applied to books) due to the style in which Hoban writes. ![]() ![]() So far I have read three other Hoban novels and while I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them I must admit that I think this one is his very best. ![]() _Riddley Walker_ is the book that put Russell Hoban on the map (inasmuch as he is on the map…he is criminally neglected as an author) and will likely be the one work for which he will be remembered (sadly he passed away in late 2011). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the video, the elderly man can be seen slowly approaching a lion inside the enclosure. Witnesses who saw the incident unfold were heard screaming in fear as they watched Hodge being mauled and dragged away by an adult male lion. The then 67-year-old Hodge, who is the British owner of the Makarele Predator Centre in Thabazimbi, had entered a lion enclosure during the day when the attack happened. However, the viral video of the attack which has resurfaced is not for the faint-hearted. Mike Hodge is one of the lucky few who lived to tell the tale of a horrific lion attack in South Africa in 2018. It's said that the only real hope for a human being caught in such a situation is that the predator loses interest before killing them. These predators are known to be merciless, and their prey often ends up being a lifeless carcass that has been ripped apart. In fact, the chances of survival are estimated to be just 25%. ![]() Trending News: It's a known fact that lions are some of the most ferocious creatures in the wild, and surviving an attack by these beasts is highly unlikely.

Her book, which is now considered foundational to Asian American literature, explores the intersection of political violence, womanhood, imperialism, and historical trauma by juxtaposing the stories of women like the Korean martyr Yu Guan Soon, Cha’s own mother, and Joan of Arc. Theresa Hak Kyung Cha was a Korean American poet and photographer who published the influential book Dictee in 1982, just a few days before a security guard, Joseph Sanza, raped and murdered her. ![]() ![]() ![]() The troubles left a lasting impression on the boy, and would later influence his writing. ![]() Born on May 29 th, 1906 to parents in a strained marriage, he would later recount the tension and sometimes violence between his alcoholic father and emotionally distant mother.
