<strong>Strap in - Nicko McBrain is finally telling his story, and he's doing it his way.</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>Strap in - Nicko McBrain is finally telling his story, and he's doing it his way.</strong> <br/><br/><strong><em>Hello Boys and Girls!</em></strong> is a thrilling, hilarious and deeply personal autobiography from the unstoppable drummer behind Iron Maiden. With trademark humour and heart, Nicko takes readers behind the scenes of one of Britain's biggest ever bands. <br/><br/>Nicko joined the band in 1982 after stints with artists like Streetwalker, Pat Travers and Trust. He honed his craft from decades of session work among the highly competitive mean streets and studios of London's Soho. Through his powerful, precise drumming and charismatic stage presence, the long-serving drummer became a metal icon, pivotal in shaping Iron Maiden's dynamic sound. <br/><br/>This is the story of what it feels like to remain not just relevant but more loved than ever after decades at the top, and to live a life transformed by music, brotherhood and belief. <br/><br/>Packed with unforgettable moments, backstage stories, laugh-out-loud anecdotes and raw honesty, <em>Hello Boys and Girls!</em> is more than a rock memoir; it's a front-row seat to one of heavy metal's greatest lives. <br/><br/> <strong>Nicko's ready.</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>Are you?</strong>

<i>"This book is about where I came from, what I fought against, and what I chose for myself. Fame can blur the truth; this is my attempt to bring it back into focus."</i><br/><br/>A legendary actor and Hollywood Icon whose five-decade career spans film, television, and producing, Michael Douglas has won two Academy Awards, a BAFTA Award, five Golden Globes, a Primetime Emmy, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and the AFI Life Achievement Award, among many others.<br/><br/>Douglas starred in and produced some of the most successful movies of all time, including <i>One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest</i>, <i>Romancing the Stone</i>, <i>The China Syndrome</i>, <i>Fatal Attraction</i>, <i>Black Rain,</i> <i>Wall Street</i>, <i>Basic Instinct,</i> <i>Disclosure</i>, <i>The Game, Wonder Boys, Traffic,</i> and <i>Behind the Candelabra</i>. His films have defined cultural moments and sometimes whole decades.<br/><br/>In this raw, career-sweeping memoir, he tells the unfiltered story of his life. Initially dismissed as only Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas' handsome son, Douglas stunned Hollywood and the world when he won his first Oscar at just thirty years old for producing the multi-Academy Award winning classic <i>One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest</i>. Once told he would be nothing more than a television actor, he walked off the hit series <i>The Streets of San Francisco</i> to become a global movie star whose films have grossed billions of dollars. Rejected for serious acting roles that he saw go to his Hollywood pals Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty, he refused to be typecast and won his second Academy Award for his iconic performance as Gordon Gekko in <i>Wall Street</i>.<br/><br/>Beginning with Douglas's childhood and complicated relationship with his father, the memoir traces his path to success with news-breaking behind-the-scenes stories of his rise to fame. Yet as Douglas's fame rose, so did his personal struggles, and here for the first time is the full, candid story of the challenges he and his family faced, from affairs with some of the most celebrated actresses in Hollywood, his own serious drug addiction which threaten to destroy his first marriage and career, the heartbreaking battle to save his son from a terrible drug addiction that sent him to federal prison at thirty-one years old, and an against-all-odds battle with stage four cancer. His love affair with Oscar winner Catherine Zeta Jones was initially dismissed as just another Hollywood relationship, but they proved the skeptics wrong about their age gap and stayed together through relationship troubles, health issues, tabloid gossip and are still going strong after twenty-five years of marriage.

In early 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest stars on television. His world was about to get even bigger, but only if he could survive the kind of double duty unheard of in Hollywood. Fox's days were already dedicated to rehearsing and taping the hit sitcom Family Ties, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way. Soon, he committed his nights to a new time-travel adventure film being directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg--<i>Back to the Future</i>. Sitcom during the day, movie at night--day after day, for months.<br/><br/>Fox's nightly commute from a soundstage at Paramount to the back lot at Universal Studios, from one dream job to another, would become his own space-time continuum. It was in this time portal that Alex P. Keaton handed the baton to Marty McFly while Michael J. Fox tried to catch a few minutes of sleep. Alex's bravado, Marty's flair, and Fox's comedic virtuosity all swirled together to create something truly special.<br/><br/>In <i>Future Boy</i>, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time--a slice of entertainment history that's never been told. Using new interviews with the cast and crew of both projects, the result is a vividly drawn and eye-opening story of creative achievement by a beloved icon.

A Rough Trade Book of the Year <br/><br/> <strong>The much-anticipated first book from Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler</strong> <br/><br/>With over 70 million records sold, heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath are one of the most influential bands of all time. From the very beginning, Geezer Butler was at the heart of their success. He named the group, provided the bass behind their distinctive sound and wrote the lyrics that resonated so powerfully with fans around the world. <br/><br/>At long last, Geezer is ready to tell his side of the Sabbath story, from early days as a scrappy blues quartet through to the many lineup changes, the record-breaking tours and the international hell-raising with Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward. <br/><br/>Featuring Geezer's candid reflections on his working-class childhood in Luftwaffe-battered Birmingham, his almost-life as an accountant and his fascination with horror, religion and the occult,<em> Into the Void </em>reveals the softer side of the heavy metal legend, while holding nothing back. <br/><br/>Like Geezer's bass lines and the story of Black Sabbath themselves,<em> Into the Void </em>is original, dramatic and one hell of a ride.

Salvation is an impartation of divine life. We receive the Father's eternal life as a gift through Christ. Receiving divine life is an important theme that we find throughout the Bible and the tree of life is one of the main prophetic pictures that describes this reality. The tree of life is a type of Christ and the life we receive through our union with the Father. This is such an exciting revelation! This book describes two different ways and sources of life. Will we live from the tree of life or the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Will we choose life or death? Will we live by grace or by law? <br/> <br/> To live loved by the Father and to be found in Christ is the highest call of our lives. When we embrace our union with Christ and learn to abide in the love of the Father, we are living from the tree of life. That will transform our lives into an exciting journey of unveiling the unsearchable riches and blessings that belong to us in Christ!
