Hollywood souvenir shop postcards of Southern California, Mid-20th century: beach-movie dreamgirls, endless orange groves, extinct amusement parks, and those amazing freeways flowing out from L.A. like glorious rushing rivers-or sinister, smoggy tentacles, depending on your point of view. Each bulbous car on the interchange is a droplet in the multi-generational flood of dreamers, go-getters, black sheep, and miscellaneous drifters who poured into Southern California after World War II, just in time for the big bang of West Coast Culture. This book explores the Southland of the author''s first twelve years when his post-greatest-generation parents drifted and finagled their way in and out of prosperity. From the civil rights movement to the surf craze, from trading stamps and the tract home explosion to Disneyland, nuclear preparedness and the stirrings of the Youth movement, this book takes the All From Somewhere Else freeway to everything Southern California.

This guide is useful whether you are traveling to Israel with a group or studying about Israel in your home. It is filled with practical information that will enhance your tour experience and deepen your personal knowledge of the Land of the Bible and Bible times. It is designed to help both young and mature Christ-followers to grow in their knowledge of the Scriptures. But it can be used by anyone interested in knowing more about Israel, Christ-follower or not. There are a variety of maps and personal photos in this guide. Many of the maps I created with Accordance Software, which will be consistent throughout the guide. The maps and photos will help you to visualize the topic or land area you are reading about. There is a list of the major sites in Israel, Jordan, and Egypt in alphabetical order. There is also a Quick Bible Reference Guide to assist you in finding more Scriptures about various sites in the Holy Land. Many people who travel to Israel wonder about communicating with the locals on their trip. This is a problem that you will hardly ever experience on a tour. However, to get a feel for the language, there is a section of important words, phrases, and prayers that will be helpful on your trip. I have included a section on terminology--a glossary of common words, names, and events found in the Bible and in history. There are biographies of many important historical and biblical characters. Learning about them in advance will enhance your time in Israel. They will ''come alive'' as you see them in the context of their time. Finally, to organize the material, I have divided this guide into three sections: Section I: Getting Ready for the Trip Section II: Getting Acquainted with the Holy Land Section III: Additional Reference Material. I have told the many guests on my tours that with just a ten-day trip to the Holy Land, they will know as much or more Bible History and Geography than most first year Bible College students. I believe this to be true. When you can put the events, places, and characters of the Bible in their context, it really comes alive. You will never read your Bible the same again! Happy traveling, everyone! Author Bio: Pastor Rick was born in Arizona and raised in Southern California.

Life is filled with uncertainty. That is seen in the word LIFE, itself. Between the first and last letters, there is an IF in the middle. Those ifs are the impetus for the ups and downs of life. God has promised to walk with us through all the ifs of our life. Hes neither oblivious nor unconcerned. And He invites us to talk with Him about it. Thats what prayer is all about talking with God. But how do we do that? What do we say? But YOU, When You Pray is a guide to pray effectively, to commune with the God Who created us. Jesus gave His disciples the How To Do It prayer. Its called The Lords Prayer, but in reality, its ours. Its the model prayer for us to follow. Its not intended to be mimicked, but to be used as a guide for effective praying. But YOU, When You Pray walks you through the model prayer and, when put into practice, enhances your relationship with God.

Pete Rose holds more Major League Baseball records than any other player in history. He stands alone as baseball''s hit king having shattered the previously "unbreakable" record held by Ty Cobb. He is a blue-collar hero with the kind of old-fashioned work ethic that turned great talent into legendary accomplishments. Pete Rose is also a lifelong gambler and a sufferer of oppositional defiant disorder. For the past 13 years, he has been banned from baseball and barred from his rightful place in the Hall of Fame-- accused of violating MLB''s one taboo. Rule 21 states that no one associated with baseball shall ever gamble on the game. The punishment is no less than a permanent barring from baseball and exclusion from the Hall of Fame. Pete Rose has lived in the shadow of his exile. He has denied betting on the game that he loves. He has been shunned by MLB, investigated by the IRS, and served time for tax charges in the U.S. Penitentiary in Marion, Illinois. But he''s coming back. Pete Rose has never been forgotten by the fans who loved him throughout his 24-year career. The men he played with have stood by him. In this, his first book since his very public fall from grace, Pete Rose speaks with great candor about all the outstanding questions that have kept him firmly in the public eye. He discloses what life was like behind bars, discusses the turbulent years of his exile, and gives a vivid picture of his early life and baseball career. He also confronts his demons, tackling the ugly truths about his gambling and his behavior. My Prison Without Bars is Pete Rose''s full accounting of his life. No one thinks he''s perfect. He has made mistakes--big ones. And he is finally ready to admit them.
