The highest-paid player in the history of baseball and widely regarded as the greatest in the modern game, the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez ensured his place in the record books in 2007 when, at thirty-two, he became the youngest player to hit five hundred home runs. But his reputation changed drastically two years later, when Selena Roberts broke the news in Sports Illustrated that he had used performance-enhancing drugs while playing for the Texas Rangers and later with the Yankees.In A-Rod, Roberts chronicles Rodriguez's extraordinary life, going beyond the sensational headlines to reveal a man torn by obligation to his family and the pull of insatiable hedonism. Ultimately, Roberts captures Rodriguez as a tragic figure in pinstripes: the man once considered the clean exception of the steroid generation revealed as an unmistakable product of its greed and dissolution.

Here is the officially licensed anniversary celebration of the world’s longest continuously published and best-known automotive magazine.HOT ROD Magazine: 75 Years celebrates the stunning content that has been created and published by the magazine’s staff in all or parts of nine decades. Witness how HOT ROD has been on scene for the entirety of the postwar performance movement with photographs and articles detailing dragsters, roadsters, slingshots, Funny Cars, coupes, customs, lead sleds, muscle cars, and their builders and owners.Take a look back through pages that have captured the imaginations of gearheads nationwide by featuring the works of customizing greats like Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, Von Dutch, and George Barris, to name a few. There’s also a look at the great journalism of such hot-rodding legends as Gray Baskerville, and the creations of builders like Pete Chapouris, Boyd Coddington, Steve Moal, Roy Brizio, and Chip Foose—complete with decades of archival black and white and color photographs of the cars and personalities that comprise hot rodding history.In the late 1940s, a young photographer and Army Air Corps veteran named Robert E. Petersen astutely noted the rapidly growing hot rod scene in Southern California. Buoyed by war veterans with tech savvy, disposable income, and a need for speed, the hot-rodding hobby was without much in the way of informational publishing. In a brilliant stroke, Petersen stepped into the void in 1948, launching HOT ROD magazine. Petersen Publishing would grow into a worldwide media empire featuring several publications. Today, HOT ROD magazine endures as one of the most iconic enthusiast publications ever.HOT ROD is not simply a magazine—after 75 years, it’s still the magazine of automotive enthusiasts, known and appreciated the world over. This is the definitive and officially licensed look back at that influence.
Produced in cooperation with HOT ROD magazine, HOT ROD Mavericks takes you on a rollicking look back on more than a century of trailblazers, risk-takers, hell-raisers, and forward-thinkers.No aspect of automobile culture embodies the DIY spirit like hot rodding. From prewar pressed steel and milled four-bangers to modern machined billet and 800-hp behemoths, the story of hot rodding has been the story of can-do iconoclasts who did for themselves what Detroit wouldn’t do for them. Longtime hot rod and custom car historian Tony Thacker crafts an illustrated history that leaves no camshaft unturned.Just some of the 50-plus movers and shakers profiled are:Pioneers of the speed equipment industry like Barney Navarro, Ed “Isky” Iskendarian, and Vic EdelbrockPostwar racers and builders Alex Xydias, Mickey Thompson, and Ak MillerQuarter-mile dragstrip heroes such as “TV” Tommy Ivo, “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, and Shirley “Cha-Cha” MuldowneyKustom kulture icons Dean Jeffries, Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, Von Dutch, Sam and George Barris, and Gene WinfieldThacker also includes latter-day innovators who kept hot rodding a going concern, like Pete & Jake, Boyd Coddington, and Chip Foose.

Celebrate the rebels who revolutionized hot rodding with this authoritative and visually engaging history.
Hot Rod Empire details Robert E. Petersen's creation of Hot Rod Magazine in the 1940s and the Petersen Publishing empire that grew to the mainstream juggernaut we know today. The end of World War II marked the release of pent-up war-years energy and the desire to live. For many this meant indulging in long-denied purchases, like a new car. For another group, including young vets, it meant a return to car building and racing. Money, exciting new cars, and speed parts all flowed freely in post-war America. Robert Petersen, a young SoCal-based photographer and Army Air Corps vet, noted the rapidly growing hot rod scene in and around Los Angeles. His first move was to organize the Los Angeles Hot Rod Exhibition in 1948. His second, and brilliant, move was to launch at the same event the first edition of Hot Rod magazine. From this launch pad, Petersen Publishing Company would grow to become the most influential enthusiast publisher in America. Petersen's magazines were rallying points for all aspects of the car, truck, and motorcycle hobbies, well as nurturing and promoting all aspects from car building to racing to show events. Hot Rod, Motor Trend, Car Craft, Motorcyclist, Off-Road and Four Wheel Drive and some 75 other enthusiast titles dominated magazine racks and provided substantial influence over transportation and numerous other hobbies. Hot Rod Empire celebrates the birth and explosive growth of the transportation hobby under Petersen's watch.

A new book opening the doors of understanding about the Bible and what it actually teaches about spanking children.There are few Biblical subjects where more misunderstanding exists among Christians and Child Rights advocates today than that of spanking children. This book seeks to increase the level of understanding about this issue. It shows that: Fact: The Bible does not teach that spanking a child will save him from HellFact: The Bible does not teach that spanking a child should bring tearsFact: In Bible times, the texts concerning spanking children found in Proverbs were not applied to young children under the age of about 10 years Fact: Some of the most respected Christian theologians of our time including Dr. Karl Barth and Rev. Dwight Moody rejected spanking childrenFact: The main Christian advocates for spanking children now are not usually trained Christian theologians teaching in universities, but most often are conservative fundamentalist Christian pastors, Christian politicians, Christian psychologists, lay church members and Christian school leadersFact: Well meaning Christian advocates of spanking children have developed doctrines surrounding what they believe the Bible teaches about spanking children which are not found in the Bible at allFact: Well meaning Children's Rights activists, who are not trained Bible scholars, have entered this debate attacking the Bible with disastrous results Fact: Many Biblically conservative Jewish Rabbis, who have the Old Testament as their Holy Scripture, reject spanking children todayFeatures of this volume:353 Separate Biblical Texts Referenced82 Separate References from Hebrew and Christian Scholars39 Authoritative Biblical Reference Works UtilizedKey new information revealed from an early Egyptian text which is also found today in the Biblical book of Proverbs concerning spankingWhat are Christian Scholars saying about this book?"I've had a chance to read through your manuscript and I find it very interesting I think you've made an important contribution, especially to contextualizing biblical ideas about child rearing. I hope you will find a publisher for this book. I'm sure many others would benefit from learning of your research."Dr. Dawn Devries, John Newton Thomas Professor of Systematic Theology, Union Theological Seminary, USA and contributor to the ground breaking volume "The Child in Christian Thought" (Eerdmans: 2000)"Thank you very much for your manuscript ... I found some of your passages very, very interesting, ... It would be of great interest to parents... Fr. Lawrence Boadt, CSP, Publisher, Paulist Press"Many thanks for sending me a copy of your book. Since I, like so many, cannot read Hebrew, I found your analysis of language fascinating and persuasive. Your exploration of these complex issues is thorough and convincing" Dr. Philip Greven, Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University, author of "Spare the Child: The Religious Roots of Punishment and the Psychological Impact of Physical Abuse" (Random House, 1992)"This is not an easy read, but it is one any Christian who desires to be true to the Bible in the first instance should take time to read. ... In my view this study is a definitive reading of the biblical texts for Christians and non-Christians alike."Rev. Alistair McBride, Scots Presbyterian Church - Hamilton, New Zealand (see www.repeal59.blogspot.com - July 25 2006)"I want to take my hat off to Samuel Martin and say, Thanks When I think about Samuel Martin, what comes to mind is a contemporary and contextualized, this-world version of William Wilberforce. He certainly has Wilberforce blood running through his veins. He is a Christian living in Jerusalem with an interest in connecting to the rest of the world in ways that are helpful and strategic about how to live out ones faith.

Christian mothers have told me for more than ten years that they have maternal intuition that tells them not to spank their children. This often goes against everything they have been taught in their churches. This matter really causes Christian mothers pain in their spirits. Do they listen to their God given intuition or the teachings of men? This book answers this question.
Thy Rod and Thy Staff They Comfort Me: BOOK IIThe Book of Hebrews and the Corporal Punishment of Children in the Christian Context A New Book by Samuel MartinThis book has been 14 years in the making. Samuel Martin returns with his second volume in the series "Thy Rod and Thy Staff, They Comfort Me." This second book is a follow up to his first book 'Thy Rod and Thy Staff, They Comfort Me: Christians and the Spanking Controversy." (published in 2006) That first book was not sold but was given away on numerous sites on the Web and continues to be available for free. (see www.biblechild.com) A hard copy version is available. (see the author's Amazon page - https: //www.amazon.com/Samuel-Martin/e/B00HP94ZZA/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1)This new book promises to be a welcomed addition to the series turning its attention to the New Testament book of Hebrews chapter 12:5-11, which is a key text quoted by many Christians today in their belief in corporal punishment. Samuel Martin further strengthens an already compelling case against corporal punishment in this new book. Features off this new book are: The Original Manuscript Order of Hebrews and Its Importance?Who wrote Hebrews and why that is important?If Paul wrote Hebrews, why did he not identify himself openly in the book?What geographical region was Hebrews written to?When was the book of Hebrews written?What is the main subject of the book of Hebrews?Who is the book of Hebrews relevant for today?How does this survey of Hebrews link to our understanding of the debate concerning spanking children in the 21st century? Reviews of this book: "Samuel Martin does a good job of writing with an easy to understand touch ... He comes to similar conclusions that I do regarding the spanking controversy." - Professor William Webb, Adjunct Professor of Biblical Studies, Tyndale Seminary, Canada and author of the book "Corporal Punishment in the Bible: A Redepemtive Movement Hermeneutic for Troubling Texts" (InterVarsity, 2011)"I think you present a well crafted argument." - Pastor Crystal Lutton, author of "Biblical Parenting""a very provocative and stimulating perspective of Hebrews." - Clay Clarkson, author of "Heartfelt Discipline: Following God's Path of Life to the Heart of Your Child."
