Crossed Lives

Summary Teodoro and his granddaughter, Leticia, meet again over 20 years later. Fruit of a passion of his daughter Beatriz and a poor boy, the younger brother of one of Teodoro's rival, Leticia is rejected by the Oliveira de Barros family patriarch and sent to a boarding school in Switzerland soon after birth. In fact, Letícia was exchanged for Aquiles, son of Ambrósio, a loyal employee of Teodoro, to enable an agreement that could save the assets and honor of the family. Teodoro was bankrupt and his greatest creditor, the powerful and sick Mr. Aquiles Machado made him an extraordinary proposal: to marry his pregnant daughter Beatriz as long as a baby boy, who would be his heir and legacy, was born. Aquiles was born the same day as Leticia and his mother dies. The children are exchanged and Leticia is sent to Switzerland by her grandfather, Teodoro. Ambrósio delivers Aquiles as gratitude to the Oliveira de Barros family. Beatriz does not know about the exchange. In the present, a young Letícia in her 20's repeats the story of her mother and gets pregnant. Expecting a baby, Letícia escapes from the boarding school and returns to Brazil. Here, fate plays another trick: She brings a letterhead paper of the Hotel Intermares in Recife she had received from the father of her son, Aquiles, who took her place in the Oliveira de Barros family. Leticia reaches Pernambuco only to meet the father of her child. Aquiles, however, refuses to see her and delegates to his grandfather, Teodoro, the problem. The consequences of this rencounter between grandfather and granddaughter will cause dramatic changes in the lives of the main players in this story. View more details

Genesis with Max McLean

Genesis with Max McLean

"Genesis" is the story of stories, an eloquent retelling of the first book of the Bible and a theatrical tour de force. With remarkable energy and a gift for storytelling that can prickle the back of your neck, McLean captures the humor and pathos in Genesis' dramatic sweep from Eden to Babel, from the immense flood of Noah to Abraham's heart-cleaving sacrifice of his son Isaac, from the epic destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah to Jacob's soul-wounding wrestling match with the Angel of God. This is a remarkable and unforgettable one-man theatrical account of the Bible's book of Genesis. It is retold by dramatic speaker and awesome storyteller Max McLean. The event took place at Truman College in Chicago, Illinois, with background sounds and lighting emphasizing the stories told from Genesis. From creation to the Garden of Eden and Noah building the Ark, you will be enthralled by McLean's retelling. He moves on to the stories of Lot, Ishmael and Isaac, and Jacob and Esau. He also clearly tells the story of Abraham. He will keep your attention through story after story, which are divided into six sessions. Taken from the NIV version of the Bible, McLean brings the book of Genesis to life on the stage with this dramatic presentation, which earns the Dove "Faith-Friendly" Seal of approval for ages 12 and up. Content Description Sex: Discussion about circumcision; man marries more than one woman; talk about having sex. Language: None Violence: Discussion regarding murder; city being destroyed; person used as sacrifice but not killed; the great flood and women fighting. Drugs: None Nudity: None Other: None (Source: The Dove Foundation, April 1998)
