In His Hands
In His Hands is a story of hope that will move you to tears and laughter. Share in this journey of discovery and experience the power of faith. Capture and utilize the uplifting attitude that Leslie uses to overcome injury, tragedy, and despair. Discover the foundation she has found, propelling her to victory in pageantry, life, and love. In 1979, at age four, Leslie was a survivor of a fatal car accident. Her life was changed in that instant! Paralyzed from the waist down with a spinal cord injury, Leslie had to grow up as a child confined to a wheelchair. Her vocal cords were also damaged with scar tissue diminishing her voice. Only able to speak in a slight whisper, she was forced to look deep within herself to find the strength to become a woman of substance. Leslie demonstrates how to rise above adversity and live life with conviction. She shares through her experiences that fear is an emotion that can disable and immobilize. Negative tendencies create bondage far greater than the paralysis she faces everyday. She has the ability to get people to examine their own limitations and provides life application skills that can help others reach their greatest potential.
Speaking of Harpo

The Soundies
The 1940s saw a brief audacious experiment in mass entertainment: a jukebox with a screen. Patrons could insert a dime, then listen to and watch such popular entertainers as Nat "King" Cole, Gene Krupa, Cab Calloway or Les Paul. A number of companies offered these tuneful delights, but the most successful was the Mills Novelty Company and its three-minute musical shorts called Soundies. This book is a complete filmography of 1,880 Soundies: the musicians heard and seen on screen, recording and filming dates, arrangers, soloists, dancers, entertainment trade reviews and more. Additional filmographies cover more than 80 subjects produced by other companies. There are 125 photos taken on film sets, along with advertising images and production documents. More than 75 interviews narrate the firsthand experiences and recollections of Soundies directors and participants. Forty years before MTV, the Soundies were there for those who loved the popular music of the 1940s. This was truly "music for the eyes."
