Book Description
Beginning with his high school years, David Appleton embarks upon the journey called Life with high hopes and aspirations for a happy, fulfilling existence on this Earth. In a desperate struggle to free himself from his past, which has been marred by the emotional and mental trauma that was imposed upon him during his childhood, he seeks and finds a new identity for himself, taking dangerous risks, meeting and making friends with people from all walks of life and indulging in sex, drugs and alcohol while carousing with wild abandonment. His future seems uncertain until he takes a trip with his best friend, riding motorcycles from Los Angeles to New York. In the course of their travels, he meets Jesus in a miraculous, unexpected encounter, which is foreshadowed by events that have taken place earlier in his life. Gradually, his devotion to Jesus grows and develops. In his ministry of spreading The Gospel, he receives revelations, visions and miracles from God. He finds himself compelled to resist the nocturnal attacks of evil spirits and demons, which employ witchcraft and black magic in an attempt to prevent him from continuing his witness for Jesus. Based upon his experiences, he arrives at the conclusion that all is not what it seemingly appears to be in the day-to-day routine of ordinary living. He begins to strongly suspect that God has a plan for each individual within the context of a reality to which most human beings are oblivious. Utilizing the concept of subjective reality, he persists in sharing his faith in Jesus with others, as his relationship with Jesus evolves into a close personal friendship. The finale of this story is completely unforseeable and incredible, leaving the reader with an uplifting sense of awe and wonder as David's destiny unfolds in accordance with The Divine Plan of God.

Football for a Buck
Author: Jeff Pearlman
Publisher: Mariner Books
ISBN: 0544454383
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
From a multiple New York Times bestselling author, the rollicking, outrageous, you-can't-make-this-up story of the USFL The United States Football League--known fondly to millions of sports fans as the USFL--was the last football league to not merely challenge the NFL, but cause its owners and executives to collectively shudder. It spanned three seasons, 1983-85. It secured multiple television deals. It drew millions of fans and launched the careers of legends. But then it died beneath the weight of a particularly egotistical and bombastic owner--a New York businessman named Donald J. Trump. The league featured as many as 18 teams, and included such superstars as Steve Young, Jim Kelly, Herschel Walker, Reggie White, Doug Flutie and Mike Rozier. In Football for a Buck, the dogged reporter and biographer Jeff Pearlman draws on more than four hundred interviews to unearth all the salty, untold stories of one of the craziest sports entities to have ever captivated America. From 1980s drug excess to airplane brawls and player-coach punch outs, to backroom business deals, to some of the most enthralling and revolutionary football ever seen, Pearlman transports readers back in time to this crazy, boozy, audacious, unforgettable era of the game. He shows how fortunes were made and lost on the backs of professional athletes and also how, thirty years ago, Trump was a scoundrel and a spoiler. For fans of Terry Pluto's Loose Balls or Jim Bouton's Ball Four and of course Pearlman's own stranger-than-fiction narratives, Football for a Buck is sports as high entertainment--and a cautionary tale of the dangers of ego and excess.

Answer Them Nothing
Author: Debra Weyermann
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 156976915X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
When police raided the Short Creek compound of the Fundamental Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1953, it soon became a political and publicity nightmare and eventually cost the governor of Arizona his job. From that point on, skittish public officials allowed the polygamist sect to practice its tenants unmolested for the next 50 years and turned a blind eye to child abandonment, kidnapping, statutory rape, incest, and massive tax and welfare fraud. But then Warren Jeffs, a new FLDS prophet, escalated the sect's crimes to near madness. Activists watched in horror as he used his limitless authority and the resources of a tax-supported community—in essence, a feudal empire on the Utah/Arizona border—to devastate thousands of lives on cruel whims, marrying girls as young as 11 to 60-year-old men and driving off teenage “lost boys” who Jeffs felt threatened his authority. Answer Them Nothing is the chilling story of the victims, activists, prosecutors, judges, cops, and attorneys who in 2001 began the struggle to dismantle the FLDS empire and bring Jeffs and his henchmen to justice. It is a mesmerizing journey into one of America's darkest corners, a story that stretches over three states and deep into history of the powerful Mormon Church.

Book Description
From the acclaimed author of Amnesia and Addiction comes the story of a paranoid man accused of killing his wife-is he ill, or is he a great actor trying to get away with murder? Forensic neuropsychologist at Boston's prestigious Pearce Psychiatric Center and expert defense witness Peter Zak regularly testifies at murder trials on issues like a defendant's conception of right and wrong or the reliability of a witness's memory.

The lawyer wants Peter to assess Nick's state of mind. A brilliant but paranoid man who's made millions inventing and marketing his own computer role-playing game, he was working in the house while his wife was stabbed, and he's certain to be accused of wielding the knife. Nick claims his innocence, but he has no proof, though certainly some of what he claims seems true. For example, there are signs his wife was having an affair. And oddly, the longer they work together, the more Peter relates to Nick's feelings. For Peter himself becomes more and more convinced that his own wife's killer, a man who's supposed to be serving life in prison, is somehow tormenting him at home and at work. It's up to Peter to separate fact from fiction in this chilling entry in a masterful series.

How to Write One Song
Author: Jeff Tweedy
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0593183533
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
There are few creative acts more mysterious and magical than writing a song. But what if the goal wasn't so mysterious and was actually achievable for anyone who wants to experience more magic and creativity in their life? That's something that anyone will be inspired to do after reading Jeff Tweedy's How to Write One Song. Why one song? Because the difference between one song and many songs isn't a cute semantic trick—it's an important distinction that can simplify a notoriously confusing art form. The idea of becoming a capital-S songwriter can seem daunting, but approached as a focused, self-contained event, the mystery and fear subsides, and songwriting becomes an exciting pursuit. And then there is the energizing, nourishing creativity that can open up. How to Write One Song brings readers into the intimate process of writing one song—lyrics, music, and putting it all together—and accesses the deep sense of wonder that remains at the heart of this curious, yet incredibly fulfilling, artistic act. But it’s equally about the importance of making creativity part of your life every day, and of experiencing the hope, inspiration, and joy available to anyone who’s willing to get started.
