Son of Southtown - My Life Between Two Worlds

Sonny Sandoval

Sinossi

Born and raised on the streets of Southtown, two exits from the Mexico border, Sonny Sandoval was always going to go his own way. And as frontman of the platinum selling nu metal band P.O.D.--a group too Christian for the world and too secular for the church--he has broken every mold, defied every expectation, and reached into the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of people who wanted to belong to something but never felt like they fit in. 
 
Sonny's life has been one lived on the edge between two worlds, a line he has attempted to walk with integrity. Raw and uncut, this memoir tells his true story of growing up in the gritty beauty south of San Diego, his early musical influences and big breaks, his rise to fame and many hardships and struggles along the way.  
 
From stories of performing in cornfields at the Cornerstone Music Festival to rocking MTV's Total Request Live with Carson Daly to playing in New York City just weeks after 9/11, and every unglamorous moment in between, this hard-hitting memoir will have you believing that there's no one right way to follow God's call. Instead, Sonny's story will inspire you to be totally and uniquely you at all times, without apology and without compromise--but with passion and integrity.

David Knoff

What would you do if you were stranded in the coldest place on Earth as the world you knew back home changed forever? 
 
David Knoff had embarked on the adventure of a lifetime as station leader of Davis research station in Antarctica when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. After their ride home was cancelled indefinitely, what was supposed to be a routine mission became a high-pressure cauldron of uncertainty and anxiety that pushed David’s team of 24 expeditioners to their mental limits. 
 
Facing unprecedented challenges, including a complex medical evacuation and a fire on board the ship meant to get them out, David would need every ounce of resilience he’d gained as an infantry platoon commander and diplomat to keep the team safe and get them home. 
 
537 Days of Winter is a high-octane, sub-zero story unlike any other in modern Antarctic history.

I'll Make You an Offer You Can't...

Michael Franzese

Imagine you are a former mob boss who used to make money disappear. What would your best advice be for doing legit business with no consequences? 
By age 24, charming mob boss Michael Franzese was one of the wealthiest people on Fortune magazine’s survey. As one of the rare people who quit the mob and lived to tell about it, Franzese has a unique perspective on how business is done. 
One thing he noticed is that inside the mob business, there are ways to make millions per week. If you apply these same principles outside of organized crime, then people will believe in your product or service more than ever before. 
In I’ll Make You an Offer You Can’t Refuse, Franzese shares key mafia rules that are applicable to business today such as:Mob Rule # 4: Be an Early Riser and Avoid Getting Killed in Your PajamasMob Rule # 5: Ya Gotta Have a CrewMob Rule # 7: Cook the Pasta, Not the Books 
Franzesse uses an interesting dichotomy of Machiavelli, the patron saint of Organized Crime and King Solomon, the wisest king ever appointed by the Almighty, to highlight universal principles of business. 
I’ll Make You an Offer You Can’t Refuse is essential reading for burgeoning entrepreneurs, business people and anyone interested in leadership.
