  'Moore is wickedly charming - the naughty uncle you want to be sat beside at the dinner table' - Daily TelegraphToo often history focuses on the tales of kings, or those (often men) who were given the credit for shaping our stories.

  Blending my own story with original songs and hymn arrangements, this audiobook shares a journey from fatherlessness to adoption into God’s family, and how I found “home” in a relationship with the Father through Jesus. I invite you also to consider the limitless love of God, your Creator, and the healing and hope that can be found in Him. God has done the miraculous in my life, more than I could ever have imagined, blessing me with a Christ-centered marriage of nearly 42 years (and counting), and the gift of two daughters. "Nothing is impossible with God." (Luke 1:27b)

  The story of the celebrated rapper and the iconic Wu-Tang Clan, told by one of its founding membersDennis Coles—aka Ghostface Killah—is a cofounder of the Wu-Tang Clan, a legendary hip-hop group that established itself by breaking all the rules, taking their music to the streets during the genre's golden era on a decade-long wave of releasing anthem after classic anthem, and serving as the foundation of modern hip-hop. Rise of a Killah is Ghost’s autobiography, focusing on the people, places and events that mean the most to him as he enters his fourth decade writing and performing. It’s a beautiful and intense book, going back to the creative ferment that led to Ghost’s first handwritten rhymes. Dive into Ghost’s defining personal moments, his battles with his personal demons, his journey to Africa, his religious viewpoints, his childhood in Staten Island, and his commitment to his family (including his two brothers with muscular dystrophy), from the Clan’s early successes to the pinnacle of Ghost’s career touring and spreading his wings as a solo artist, fashion icon, and trendsetter. Rise of a Killah gives a “real feel” narrative of Ghost’s life as he sees it, a one of a kind holy grail for Wu-Tang and Ghost fans alike.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  Naked & Dimed - My Lifelong...

  No, Naked and Dimed isn’t the title of some naughty movie. It’s the name of the latest Psychedelic Mooj album. By “naked” we mean nothing came between guitar and amp (well, besides a cord). We didn’t use one stomp box on anything. What you hear is what we got straight out of each amp. This abridged audiobook documents the project and is meant to go hand and hand with the album. However, with the audiobook, we let you to hear what these amps and guitars sound like with soundbytes. The Naked and Dimed album can be streamed from any digital recording site (Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, etc.) The author will also gladly send you a CD if you prefer. 
  In the old days, “dimed” meant loud—turned up to 10 loud. The hep-cats who came before us used a different expression because their amps went to 12. They called it “clockwising the chickenhead to the max.” Since only four of the amps we used had chickenheads, we’ll just stick with “dimed.” 
  In reality, only a few of the amps were actually recorded at full volume. I love playing my amps totally cranked. However, when we got in the studio and tweaked things to sound “best,” many volume knobs ended up being closer to the point of breakup (6 to 8) than 10 or 12. I guess we should have called the album Naked and Nearly Clockwise Chickenheaded and Dimed, but then you’d have really been confused. 
  This book is really about exploring the tones and textures of 15 vintage guitars and 14 vintage Fender amps. 
  Quite simply, this is the best vintage guitar and amp audiobook you’ll ever hear!
