The tragic death of Freddie Mercury heralded the end of one of the most important and influential rock bands of all time. Queen were undisputed rock royalty, the group that sprang from the glam rock era of the early 1970s to outlast all their glittering contemporaries. In the process they rewrote all the rules in the music business, from the six-minute mini-opera Bohemian Rhapsody to playing stadiums across South America. This book, based on exclusive interviews with band members, their families and friends, is the chronicle of Queen's history. Frank and fearless, it is packed with personal and revelatory details and is illustrated with photographs never before published. It covers everything from the humble beginnings when Brian May made his own guitar, to the heady days of international fame and the final sad months when Freddie Mercury knew he was fighting a battle against AIDS that he could not win.

This is a lighthearted look at Esmeralda Raccoon and her triplets, Meeny, Miney and Moe as they journey along the California coastline north of Half Moon Bay. An unfortunate incident caused Esmeralda's husband Ruben (the Papa of the triplets) to be relocated. This left her alone to care for the youngsters who seemed to attract trouble wherever they went. Finding it difficult to cope with the rambunctious trio alone, Esmeralda felt she needed help from their Papa. For this reason the little raccoon family set out in search of their Papa. As they travel along a route that roughly follows California Highway 1 the triplets have many experiences and adventures. Their search takes them to places at the ocean shore as well as to places in communities and dwellings just a bit inland. This is their story.

Without proper instrumentation, it doesn't take long to drift off course. And not since the Protestant Reformation has the Christian church been so at risk for capsizing. Postmodernism and the church's response to it have produced a hesitation… and in some cases, an outright disdain for the notion that there is only one true God, and one way of salvation. In an attempt to placate rather than preach, more and more churches and institutions are adopting a stance that is no stance at all. Fatal Drift chronicles this slow surrender to the spirit of the age, and the inevitable trajectory of such accommodation. Drawing from over three decades of pastoral experience, Jim Jenkins shows that the issue is not new, nor should it surprise us. He traces the former battles and staggering prophetic warnings of Francis Schaeffer, Charles Spurgeon, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, among others. From his experiences as a Navy chaplain, Dr. Jenkins demonstrates the critical need for trustworthy instruments while navigating changing conditions. In the name of tolerance, today's activists attack the reliability and changeless nature of Scripture. Christian leaders loosen their mooring to the guiding truths of the Bible, in favor of extra-biblical sources that make their message more palatable. The resulting ambiguity is wreaking havoc and leading many to a shipwreck of their faith. John Warwick Montgomery said, "The church will remain ineffective as long as it has as its spokesmen the people who have been falling all over each other to be 'relevant.' Ages of faith are not marked by dialogue but by proclamation." This is a book about absolutes, in a day when the idea of absolute truth is unpopular. And it's essential reading for anyone who hopes to avoid losing their way in a sea of false teaching and wayward doctrine.
