(If Jesus were alive today, would he: • Feed the poor-...)
If Jesus were alive today, would he: • Feed the poor-or cut free school lunch programs? • Comfort the old and infirm-or eliminate Social Security? • Turn the other cheek-or invade Iraq? In this groundbreaking book, noted author and theologian Linda Seger, Th.D., explores what it means to be a Christian and a Democrat-and shows how the two are not mutually exclusive (as many Republicans claim), but rather inclusive. She reveals the close relationship between Democratic policy and Jesus's teachings-and the many ways in which the values Jesus espouses in the Bible correspond to the values Democrats call their own. The idea that America's real Christians are all Republicans is just that-an idea, and an indefensible, divisive one at that. Jesus Rode a Donkey is a call to Christians everywhere to remember that Jesus was a liberal, who rode a donkey through the streets of Jerusalem-not an elephant.

(IF JESUS WERE ALIVE TODAY, WOULD HE: Feed the poor - or g...)
IF JESUS WERE ALIVE TODAY, WOULD HE: Feed the poor - or give tax breaks to the super rich? Comfort the old and infirm - or cut Social Security? Make war - or make peace? In this groundbreaking book, noted author and theologian Linda Seger, Th.D., explores what it means to be a Christian and a Democrat - and shows how the two are not mutually exclusive, but rather inclusive. She reveals the close relationship between Democratic policy and Jesus' teachings and the many ways in which the values Jesus espouses in the Bible correspond to the values Democrats call their own. The idea that America's real Christians vote strictly Republican crumbles when one studies the platforms of both parties. Jesus Rode a Donkey reminds the reader that Jesus and the prophets had a radical, progressive message that calls individuals and nations to feed the hungry, help the poor, heal the sick, care for the earth, free the oppressed, and love our enemies. LINDA SEGER, Th.D., is uniquely qualified to write this book - a theologian, author and speaker with degrees in English, Drama and Theology. She comes from a long line of Lutherans who were theologians, ministers and missionaries. She's a Christian and a Democrat, and lives in Cascade, Colorado.

(In 'Von der Figur zum Charakter' setzt sich Linda Seger m...)
In 'Von der Figur zum Charakter' setzt sich Linda Seger mit einem essentiellen Bereich des Filmemachens auseinander, dem Erschaffen glaubwürdiger und spannender Filmfiguren. Mit ihrer bewährten Mischung aus Beispielen, Anekdoten, Interviews und Anleitungen erklärt und betont sie die Bedeutung der Recherche, des Dialogs, des persönlichen und konkreten Hintergrunds und der Psychologie, um unvergeßliche Figuren zu erschaffen.Linda Seger: "Die Gespräche mit erstklassigen Schriftstellern haben mir deutlich gemacht, welcher Kenntnisse und Kunstfertigkeiten es bedarf, großartige Figuren zu schaffen. Am meisten beeindruckte mich, daß jeder dieser Schriftsteller den Eindruck erweckte, daß er seine oder ihre innere Stimme gefunden hatte. Durch meine Arbeit als Drehbuchberaterin weiß ich, daß Schriftsteller lernen können, an diese persönliche Stimme zu glauben und sie weiterzuentwickeln. Talent ist mit Sicherheit ein wichtiger Teil des Schreibens, doch es fliegt kaum jemandem zu. Zum Talent müssen harte Arbeit hinzukommen, eine gewisse Ausbildung, viel Übung, und man muß lernen, an den eigenen Standpunkt zu glauben und ihn zu formulieren.""Fazit: 'Von der Figur zum Charakter' und 'Das Geheimnis guter Drehbücher' sind wichtige Arbeitshilfen für Anfänger, immer wieder mit Beispielen untermauert. Aber auch erfahrene Autoren können sich hier Techniken aneignen, die ihnen in Problemfällen weiterhelfen." (Jean-Paul Raabe, Film & TV Kameramann, 48. Jg., Nr. 11/1999)Linda Seger arbeitete als Drehbuch-Beraterin (script consultant) bereits an mehr als 1500 Drehbüchern und über 70 Filmen mit. Über das Drehbuchschreiben hat sie mehrere Bücher verfaßt, darunter den internationalen Bestseller 'Making a Good Script Great'.

Adaptations have long been a mainstay of Hollywood and the television networks. Indeed, most Academy Award- and Emmy Award-winning films have been adaptations of novels, plays, or true-life stories.
