Life in the Left Lane is a short and lively nonfiction book about what its really like for expatriates to live in a tropical island paradise. Written by a journalist who has lived in the islands for more than thirty-five years, it is an honest, affectionate and humorous report on all aspects of the adventure, from adjusting to island time to making a living, building a dream house and coping with hurricanes. Her vivid descriptions of carnival, the Creole language, gardening and island food, and her insightful observations about minority status, politics, religion and crime, are enlightening reading for anyone curious about life in the Caribbean. The author writes about the islands in general, but specifically her island of St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands, where driving in the left lane in cars designed to drive on the right is but one of the idiosyncrasies of quirky island style.

If you think living with one foot in the streets and the other in the business world is simple, just ask Tyrone Philpott. A self-made hustler from rural Virginia, Tyrone is on an intense paper chase that threatens to take away what he cherishes most; life with his soon-to-be baby's mother, Telina. Well aware that he's playing with fire, Tyrone knows he has to give up a big part of his hustle in order to save his struggling relationship, but that union takes a backseat when he realizes what he wanted all along was right in front of him. Tina, Tyrone's sexy and sassy side-piece, is a round-the-way girl who has no problem keeping her mouth closed about a few secrets that could disrupt Tyrone's life and open up a few doors for her. With all the baby's momma drama, Tina pushing her way into his heart, and his hustle being cut short, you'd assume Tyrone was being pushed hard enough. Yet it wasn't until that last nudge that he decided to go forward by taking a step back and handing over the reins to his protege. It's then that The Left Lane hits a winding curve."

Living in the fast lane isn’t something that happens overnight. It takes years to develop such a lifestyle, and one never stops it on a dime. Living in the fast lane is an acquired lifestyle that opens a person up to all sorts of proclivities. In Life in the Fast Lane, author Lutrell Mungin Greenaway shares what happens when one follows the wrong path. Through the story of a young man recruited to a gang and challenged to kill a child as initiation, this rendering brings awareness to parents by showing the many things society introduces to children. Citing an array of scriptural examples, Greenaway provides advice for adults on actions they can take to be better informed and how they can be proactive in the defense of evil forces and influences. Life in the Fast Lane demonstrates that sin knows no age limits and no ethnicity preferences. We shouldn’t feel defeated for we are on the offense because of Jesus. We should take every opportunity to aggressively push this cascade of evilness away from our society.

“Surely make you lose your mind…” So the Eagles warn us about the outrageous and ruthless lifestyle of the ambitious rock-n-roller. In fact, Don Henley could barely listen to the track “Life in the Fast Lane” when they were recording it. He was so high that it made him sick. The band that embodied the American dream with globe-straddling success, impossibly luxurious lives, and almost supernatural talent also descended into nightmare with bloodletting betrayal, hate-filled hubris, the skeletons of perceived enemies, brutally discarded lovers and former band mates left unburied in the road behind them. The Eagles’ story is a truly gothic American fable: one of ultimate power and rivers of money; of sex and drugs at a time when both were the lingua-franca of sophisticated So-Cal living; of a band who sang of peaceful easy feelings in public while threatening to kill each other in private. Now, legendary rock journalist Mick Wall delivers definitive insight into America's best-selling band of all time, a band that has sold more records than Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones combined, exploring their meteoric rise to fame and the hedonistic days of the 70s music scene in LA, when American music was taking over the world.

My first experience with "death" happened on the night of July 2, 1984. Since then, books, movies, and television documentaries have popularized the term "near-death experience" to describe an event that has been experienced by millions of people who have been at death's door. But back in 1984 I was alone with my experience. I couldn't share it with anyone. From the book: "Coming back from death is a powerful and life-changing experience. Before I came back from death, I was told that I was coming back with a mission in life. My mission was not clearly defined for me at first, but I now find that each and every day it is being defined for me more clearly. The experience has set me upon a path of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment that continues to provide me with glimpses into the afterlife--glimpses that I would now like to share with you. Prior to finding myself at death's door, I was not by nature inclined to share anything with anybody, but now I believe it is important that I share my experiences with you.
