Spellbinder by Robbins (235 results)

Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Fair.

Condition: Fair. From the author of the New York Times #1 bestselling novel The Carpetbaggers comes a hard-edged look at the seductive, high-stakes, and often hypocritical world of religious revivalism and televangelists. Spellbinder is the story of a genuine and charismatic believer simply known as Preacher, who returns from the foxholes and horrors of Vietnam with a simple goal: to spread the word of peace, love, and charity. He immediately attracts a following as he moves from California communes to small surfing towns. The Church, as his mobile flock is now known, is a culture that centers as much on sex and drugs as prayers, sacraments, and salvation. Despite a growing following, The Church is bordering on broke. As they reach what is surely the end of the line in Texas, a powerful billionaire witnesses Preacher and likes what he sees. Promising a platform where Preacher can reach millions at once--not dozens--Preacher takes the leap into the new world of mass broadcasting the gospel. Before long, Preacher becomes one of the most powerful televangelists in the country, making influential friends and building a vast empire as the newest religious superstar. He finds his new success and status as the rock star entertainer of big-top religion intoxicating. Deep inside, however, he realizes that he's become just another over-the-airwaves televangelist selling everlasting salvation for an earthly price. With a burning conscience, he knows that he must make a gut-wrenching decision: preserve his empire to continue to spread the word or make the ultimate sacrifice to expose the hypocrisy that surrounds him.…

No store stamps. --- --- SPELLBINDER --- In the hard-hitting works of Harold Robbins, even the sacred isn't sacred. He takes aim at the world of religious revivalism. They're all over the airwaves-the televangelists-promising eternal salvation for an earthly price. The biggest of them all simply calls himself "Preacher." He begins his career in the foxholes of Vietnam, with a noble goal: spread the word of peace, love, and charity. Back home in the States, he starts "The Church," where sex and drugs are as much a part of the culture as prayers and sacraments. Preacher's following grows as he travels throughout the country, taking the faithful. In Texas, he meets up with a powerful billionaire who likes his style. Before long, Preacher is the top entertainer in the televised arena of big-top, big-time religion for profit. Somewhere deep inside Preacher, a guilty conscience burns, and he knows he must make a terrible sacrifice to expose the hypocrisy. --- MEMORIES OF ANOTHER DAY --- In the mountains of West Virginia Dan learned the price of work, love, and murder--when murder was a man's last resort. Daniel Boone Huggins, shaped by violent tragedy and a restless passion for beautiful women, rose from poverty to become the most powerful--and dangerous--labor organizer in America. . .See photos for additional content. . .…
