Growing up in Tacoma, WA, "The City of Destiny," provided author Lance Lambert with the opportunity to grow from a little guy that thought the night-time darkness was eaten by magic bugs, to a guy that, on the night of his high school graduation, learned that he was not as talented as he thought. In the years between he was kissed by a wealthy butcher's daughter, forcefully extracted from a train, singled out by a president, helped to identify foreign spies, and found out that nudity and peanut butter are not necessarily a good combination. His regrets include shoplifting at the local five &amp; dime, winning a contest by deception, and expressing his opinion about his Cub Scout troupe's den mother. Triumphs include a short career as a pirate, and the successful use of a motor scooter to win the hearts and hands of the cutest girls in school. Lance Lambert's latest book will take readers back to a time when a typical day included everything from throwing dirt balls at friends to helping bring law and order to the neighborhood. "Lance's stories are achingly truthful, often laugh-out-loud funny, and generous in spirit... his quick wit and sense of the absurd had me wiping away tears of laughter... he brings universal recollections into the light of warm affection so we can take part in a shared appreciation for the ridiculousness and precariousness of life."

The love of old cars provides many adventures for people in the hobby. As a child there were "special" cars that made a lasting impression. The best birthday is the one that allows the acquiring of a driver's license. The first car, like the first love, will never be forgotten. Repairing an old car and showing it off at the drive-in is a cherished right of automotive passage. Continuing through life with a collector car at your side is a match made in heaven. Lance Lambert, automotive journalist, TV personality and passionate car collector, shares some of his adventures from decades of holding the honored title of "Car Guy." From his first "car" (a combination of his sister's tea set table and a broken wagon) to his current love of "orphan" cars (his garage menagerie includes two Studebakers and two King Midgets), Lance is a person living the life that all car lovers love. This book follows Lance's best selling "Fenders, Fins & Friends: Confessions of a Car Guy." His newest book, "Gears, Grins & Gasoline: My Wheel Life Adventures," contain 59 short stories that will bring smiles and, if the reader is not careful, a tear or two. Included is the tale of 13 year-old Lance and a friend "borrowing" a car; dangerous chases and "rumbles" with rivals; mistakes made on motorcycles; teenage girls in great cars; automotive successes and failures, and even spending time with a 1955 Chevrolet-owning ghost. It's a great book about great cars and great people. Pour a coup of coffee and head to the garage, then sit back and enjoy the reading ride!

Every "car guy" has stories that elicit laughter, tears and admission of some bad choices. Lance Lambert's "Fenders, Fins &amp; Friends: Confessions of a Car Guy" includes tales of riding in a 1939 ford as the steering wheel was removed and handed to him. Installing a siren in a 1955 Ford proved to be a bad decision. Putting five friends as far back as possible in a rock band's van resulted in wheels stands and applause from admiring fans. Sitting in a 1949 Chevrolet while surrounded by five police cars and numerous guns pointed his direction caused some concern. "Fenders, Fins &amp; Friends: Confessions of a Car Guy" reveals all that is good about the world of old cars and why being a Car Guy is the best way to enjoy life. "...The history of our automobile traditions is safe in your hands." Lee Iacocca, Automotive Industry Icon "Lance's stories are a joyride to simpler times when unbridled enthusiasm and unchallenged optimism were all it took for car crazy young men to tackle any dream, scheme or machine." Bruce Caldwell, Editor Emeritus, Hot Rod Magazine "Lance's writings remind us of the sizzle that we were, or maybe could have been or wanted to be; his writings take us back to presumably simpler times of dreamy days, giving us peepholes back to the olden days. A great book from back in the day." Don Weberg, Editor &amp; Publisher, Garage Style Magazine "Read this and you will gain insight into a down-to-earth soul, with a big heart, and an entertaining way of seeing the world." Theresa Poalucci, Publisher, Journal Newspapers "Lance's humorous storytelling style makes you feel like you are sitting in the front seat with him as he drives you through his amazing 'car guy' life." Sandy Scott, Director of Operations, Petersen Automotive Museum "Lance Lambert is the Garrison Keillor of car stories. His nostalgic and chuckle worthy stories always put a smile on my face." M.J. McDermott, KCPQ Television Reporter "Lance is an amicable asset to the car world - at once a wealth of knowledge and history, an icon of automotive TV programming and a friendly ambassador to the industry for everyone from experienced gearheads to neophyte spectators. It is easy to see that Lance loves cars, and car people love Lance." Heidi Van Horne, Automotive Reporter, Houston Chronicle "...As a prolific writer, emcee and TV host, Lance is everybody's 'in the know' and 'go to' car guy when they want the inside scoop. His stories are real and he has made it a point to document his adventures at every turn. His book is a 'must read' ." David Dickinson, Creator &amp; Editor, "The Old Car Nut Book" "This book is a 'must read' for all car lovers!" John D'Agostino, Celebrity Kustoms "Compelling! 'FENDERS, FINS &amp; FRIENDS: Confessions of a car Guy' provides a vivid and humorous look at 60 years of the memories of a true vintage vehicle legend. The vignettes are always evocative. A great read!" Kathleen Fullerton Bernhard, Ph.D., author of "The Invisible Woman"

Fenders, Fins & Friends: Confessions of a Car Guy

This book grew out of a series of messages given on Psalm 110. The author's burden is for God's people to understand from the Scriptures the reality of the Lamb upon the throne. From the gospels to Revelation we see the Lordship of Christ manifested. God has made His Son both Christ and Lord. The reality of the seated and triumphant Messiah, the Lord Jesus, is to become a practical reality in the lives of God's children. The author gives us many examples and experiences of how the Lord does this. He tells us that our inheritance is to live by the resurrection power of Christ's life which is within the believer when he experiences that new birth in Christ. He reminds us that the early church as seen in Acts lived in the good and experience of Christ's enthronement, and it can be the experience of every born-again believer.

Christian Testimony Ministry

This booklet will help Gods people to be ready for the coming of the Lord Jesus. The message and the instructions are very clear. In I Chronicles 12:32 the Bible says of the sons of Issachar that they were ..". men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do." The Lord desires a people today who understand the days in which we are living and are being prepared to meet the Bridegroom--the Lord Jesus Christ.

Be Ye Ready

As we read the Scriptures we have to recognise that in all probability we are at the beginning of the end of the age. He referred to the upheavals, the turmoil, the conflict, and the physical disasters, as the birth pangs of the coming Kingdom. Jesus said, "When these things begin to come to pass, look up, lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh. If that is true then there has never been a time when effective prayer and intercession could be more strategic, more necessary, and more essential than now. In relation to the return of the Lord and the events that would precede it, He told us to watch and pray, and to make supplication to Him. The church is impotent; it is for the most part complacent and lukewarm. More than ever intercession is required. The Lord is calling for watchmen on the wall, those who have an ear to hear Him and response. This book goes into great detail concerning corporate prayer and many practical points to help the church today respond to the Lord's call for intercessors.
