Classic Themes of Disciples Theology: Rethinking the Traditional Affirmations of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)

Quick! Do you know . . . Which college was the first in the world to award a degree in jazz? Which state had the most drive-in movie theaters? Who was the first person to push a peanut up Pike's Peak with his nose? Who invented Frito Pie? Where the country's largest working wildflower farm is located? Well, all the answers can be found here in Texas. "Texas Brag" is a long cherished tradition in the nation's second largest state. But the fact is that Texas does have more than its share of unique people, places, events, inventions, and products: many of them the first, the largest, or the only representative of its kind. Braggin' on Texas takes an accurate but less than serious look at the Lone Star State---both past and present---by presenting some of the more obscure, convoluted, and occasionally outrageous achievements of Texans and their state. So sit back and prepare to enjoy Texas as you've never known it before! By the way, the answers to the opening questions are: University of North Texas in Denton; Texas, with 475 at the height of their popularity; Bill Williams of Rio Hondo; Daisy Dean Doolin of San Antonio; and Wildseed Farms in Fredericksburg and Eagle Lake.
