The truth is finally revealed. Victims are exonerated. The story of one of America’s biggest practical jokers and his entourage is told. In this uncut collection, sportswriter Freddie Russell and his circle at long last come clean; or rather, dirty. Russell was one of America’s most prolific 20th Century sports journalists, known for his uniquely humorous style - and his practical jokes. But only some were known, until now. Confessions was Russell’s idea and includes over 135 practical jokes: the good, bad, ugly and everything in between: teasing, racy, raw, subtle, clever, in your face, naughty, offensive, suggestive, shocking . . . it’s a rollicking rampage through the decades, a free-for-all, as Russell and his sports-loving comrades pull all manner of pranks and gags on innocent victims. The cast is a virtual who’s who from the greatest generation: pioneers, tycoons, leaders, sports legends and personalities, friends, neighbors, colleagues, people of all ages . . . no one was off limits. The sparkling cast of characters shine: Russell, Hall of Famers Red Sanders and Bear Bryant, foil Cotton Clark, PR man Max Benson, TV pioneer Slick Welsh, New York Opera’s Francis Robinson, University leaders, business magnates, and a host of colorful luminaries. Confessions reveals it all, uncensored, with first-hand testimonies, original prank letters dating back the 1940s, never-before-seen photos, and more. Most of all, Confessions reveals the deep friendships and camaraderie of the greatest generation, those true originals who helped build our nation and had a lot of fun along the way. Warning: don’t try this at home - or anywhere. “I do not come to acclaim Fred Russell, but to reveal him for what in part, he is – a Practical Joker, A Gagster, A Rib Artist, a Merry Andrews, a fiendish Dr. Jekyll who has too long hidden behind Mr. Hyde . . .” – Max Benson, PR Director, writer, and Russell friend

Religion & Spirituality

Hell is a real, actual place, with horrors beyond description. In hell, lost humans endure eternal fire, torment, and unimaginable suffering, forever. Based on more than 20 years of research, "Hell: 13 Testimonies" is among the most descriptive books about hell ever published. The more than 150 pages include: 13 testimonies from people who have been to hell, describing in detail hell and its horrors; the first ever detailed diagram of hell and its chambers; every Bible verse about hell; truths and revelations from Jesus Christ about hell; and much more. Anyone who dies without knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior goes to hell, forever, with no way out. Hell is a place of eternal death. To avoid hell, a person must repent and follow Jesus Christ while alive on earth. Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels - not for man. But Satan deceives many into following him to hell. In hell, humans' have all their senses, which are a lot stronger there. Hell is currently in the center of the earth. At the end times, hell will be thrown into the lake of fire, along with anyone not written in the Lamb's Book of Life (Revelation 20:15). Repent, for the presence of Jesus Christ is here, and believe the gospel, the great news of Jesus Christ. Receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, spend eternity in heaven and avoid hell.
