Sinopsis

It’s 1970, and Rob and Jake luck out with high draft numbers in the first draft lottery to draft young men to fight in the Vietnam War. In Rob’s brand-new Datsun hatchback, they set on a road trip with no fixed destination.
 
Their journey begins at Duke University. With friends like Horney Ray, Doctor Boo, and Trimly Jimly, they witness anti-war protests, civil rights upheaval, and even an unexpected run-in with Janis Joplin at a campus party. History of the era unfolds around them as they chase adventure across the country.
 
From the riotous Newport Jazz Festival to selling Lucky Dogs in New Orleans and encountering a street preacher known as the Apostle of Love, their travels become a crash course in life, independence, and self-discovery. Each new city - and each new character - brings them closer to understanding the world.
 
A love letter to an era and a tale of youth on the brink of change, Richard C. Stuecker's COASTING AMERICA captures the spirit of the 1970's - a time of upheaval, music, restless dreams and the open road ahead.

    Milton Hershey - More Than...

    'We've done more than our share to see you right, but you're a Hershey, a true son of a dreamer,' Milton's Uncle Abraham said. 'You'll never stick with anything long enough to make it work for you.' Milton gulped. He'd already suspected that his relatives had given up on him succeeding as a candy maker, but the words still stung. When Milton Hershey's famous Hershey Bars debuted in 1905, few people knew of the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice preceding the triumph. Debt, lack of support, and fatigue had been constant companions for the famous chocolatier and philanthropist -- a man with a fourth-grade education. Despite comparisons to his wandering father, Milton never gave up. Learning from his mistakes, he spent a lifetime creating sweet things to eat -- first caramel, then chocolate. As his company soared, Milton used his wealth to care for others, founding a town for Hershey workers, a school for children in need, and a foundation dedicated to education, culture, and health care.

    Mike Weaver, lead singer of Big Daddy Weave, shares from personal experience how when all we can see is our struggles and failures, God reminds us of who we are. . . . His children. Loved. Set free. Redeemed.I Am Redeemed is an open book of Mike Weaver's life, bringing into the light everything from his battle with self-hatred to the near death of his brother and bandmate, who ultimately had both feet amputated to save his life. Mike shares the lessons learned in the loss of his father and dealing with the spirit of suicide within his band, Big Daddy Weave. At the lowest of lows, with Mike feeling rejected and alone, God broke through to speak truth and life into him. Thankful for God's plan and timing and methods, he is especially grateful for the new identity Jesus had paid for on the cross. In spite of his faults and failures, Mike learned that only God can take the stuff you hate about yourself and use it to reach people. Through the million-selling song "Redeemed" and now the powerful story behind it, as well as inspiration from Scripture, you will be encouraged to embrace God's redeeming grace so you, too, have the opportunity to be beautiful offerings to the Lord.

    A street gang, religiously incorporated. United, and at times divided. Nevertheless, always reuniting. The honor of God embellished in the foundation of our streets and upon the sacred grounds of our turf. A neighborhood infected by darkness. Filth & grief distributed by its members, allies, enemies and others. Germicide cleanses our blood and continuously protects it. I clear the air (oxygen) in our blood upon all of our communities. Germicide Raising Queen Street Blood's, a Revelation indeed!
