Everyone sees 17-year-old Derek Haley as a funny, outgoing, and confident student, but few people know some of the daily battles he faces when he is alone--the pains of failed relationships, the struggle of loss and addiction, and his journey toward redemption in Christ.
Many Christian churches, homes, and student ministries are left feeling helpless against the pull of secularism that is bombarding this generation. "Generation Transformed" will help pastors, youth pastors, volunteers, and parents to understand the immense pull that culture has on teens, and the text takes a biblical approach to rectifying the problems.
Wilson, a first-round draft pick of the Detroit Tigers in 1980, played 10 seasons in Major League Baseball. Injuries and disappointment shortened his career, and when investments soured causing business ventures to fail, he found himself living in pain and misery. In that pain, he came to know what it meant to truly have a relationship with God.
Mit tennénk, ha egy régi barátunk a halála előtt egy kérést intézne hozzánk? Igyekeznénk teljesíteni? Darrell Attwood mindenesetre így dönt – dacára a figyelmeztető jelek sokaságának. De hát bárkivel előfordulhat, hogy azt képzeli, piros szemű szörnyek üldözik... Vagy csak azokkal, akik olyan sötét társaságba keveredtek, mint a régi barát? És mi van akkor, ha a szörnyek tényleg léteznek? Ahogy telik az idő, egyre inkább úgy tűnik, sosem volt más út, mint teljesíteni a kérést. A szálak egy pszi-képességekkel bíró egykori hipnotizőrhöz vezetnek – aki nem mellesleg hírszerzőként is dolgozott –, és Darrell nemsoká a titokzatos társaság, az Alakítók tagjai közt találja magát. Márpedig ebből a klubból kilépni nem lehet, legalábbis nem élve. Hatalmuk korlátlan, módszerük maga a „métely”.

Cemetery Gates takes you inside the minds of the most twisted icons of heavy metal - including Ozzy Osbourne, Axl Rose, Nikki Sixx, Trent Reznor, Peter Steele, Dimebag Darrell, Cliff Burton, Layne Stayley and John Bonham. Whatever their deadly sin, these prodigiously talented musicians haveall come dangerously close to the edge. Cemetery Gates is the ultimate tribute to the stoical survivors who dragged themselves back from the abyss - as well as the sainted icons who weren't so lucky. The likes of Dio and Dimebag may be gone, but this riotous epitaph - to men who've lived every day as if it was their last - ensures they'll never be forgotten.
