Book Description
There are probably not two more polar opposite genres than rap music and drag racing. The author is by no means an authority on either. By 2012, it was apparent that the United States was facing many problems. The laundry list included: jihadists, unemployment, health care woes, unconstitutional and unchallenged moves by government officials,... the list seems endless. Yet at the core of the nation's ills was the over arching issue of right and wrong. How is it defined? And who defines it ? Into this maelstrom of chaos, the characters herein find themselves cast. Nearly 50 years after the radicals of the 1960's found their answers 'blowing in the wind' , what has America become ? The D&J Racing team of Mountain Home, Va., find themselves ensnared in a world far beyond 1/4 mile races. One will lose life because of it. And what of the children who walk through the land where selfish pleasure dominates each individual's daily life. Sarah and Micah are about to find out. There are others who live outside the 'tranquil' world of Mountain Home. They have been gifted to live in the fast lane of 'pop culture'. Wealthy, yet morally bankrupt, the FATFISTs and BARON ALLs of the world are about one thing- PLEASURE- regardless of the cost. If there money to be made at the expense of the innocence of children-so be it. Then there are the Runks...an inter-city detective and his wheelchair bound wife. Discredited and dismissed by those in power, they become the embodiment of Philippians 4: 13 - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Pages : 193
Book Description
For enthusiasts reading magazines such as Motor Trend, Road & Track, and others, David Kimble is no stranger. His brilliant cutaway artwork has been gracing the pages of those publications for years. Whether he illustrated engines, transmissions, full-car chassis, sports cars, race cars, or classics, his cutaway artwork revealed, in excruciating detail, things that a camera lens could never capture. In David Kimble's Cutaways: The Techniques and the Stories Behind the Art, Kimble reveals the secrets, techniques, procedures, and the dedication to craft that is required to produce these amazing illustrations. He covers the step-by-step procedures while producing fresh artwork for this book featuring a McLaren Can-Am car as well as a vintage Harley-Davidson. Although the procedures covered here are unique to Kimble, and pretty much a pipe dream to mere mortals, this title provides an inside look into how he does it. Also included are the stories and tales of how it all started, traveling the world to illustrate cars, behind the scenes with manufacturers, the Corvette years, as well as a gallery of many illustrations. Never before has David Kimble provided a look into his cutaway "skunkworks," or shared the procedures for bringing these beautiful technical illustrations to life. This book is a must-have for any automotive or art fan.
