Download or read book Come and Get Your Love written by Pat Vegas and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "That is what most people don't understand. They think success happens overnight - well I am here to say it doesn't. It truly takes dedication, perseverance, and a love for what you do to make your dreams come true. There were moments of blood, sweat, tears, and feelings of defeat that made these moments all worth it. The struggle led them to find their voice, a league of their own and make history...When you think about lives lived to their fullest, for the Vegas Brothers and Redbone, that would be an understatement. From performing on the #1 rated music show in the 60's titled "Shindig," sold out shows, #1 Singles/Albums, getting their song "We Were All Wounded At Wounded Knee" banned from airplay in the US due to its brutal truth about the 7th Cavalry, to traveling all across the world, and performing at Royal Albert Hall for the Queen herself (and my dad accidentally calling her "Babe"). It wouldn't even begin to describe the untold memories and laughter shared through the years. It is only but a mere taste of what was on their plates from the second they decided their destiny." (From the Foreword by Frankie Vegas)

As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness.

Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book excerpt: Women write about their experiences of loving music that doesn’t love them back – a feminist 'guilty pleasures'.e - a kind of feminist guilty pleasures. In the majority of mainstream writing and discussions on music, women appear purely in relation to men as muses, groupies or fangirls, with our own experiences, ideas and arguments dismissed or ignored. But this hasn’t stopped generations of women from loving, being moved by and critically appreciating music, even – and sometimes especially – when we feel we shouldn’t. Under My Thumb: Songs that Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them is a study of misogyny in music through the eyes of women.

As much celebration as critique, this collection explores the joys, tensions, contradictions and complexities of women loving music – however that music may feel about them.

The book captures the harrowing and near-death experiences I survived at the very bottom of one of the world’s coldest bodies of water. My story begins with a sometimes violent childhood in 1950s working class northern England. Brought up by two deaf parents, my siblings and I found resourceful ways to cope with poverty in this bleak industrial landscape. Yearning for more, I joined the Royal Navy in 1967 at age fifteen. This is where I learned my trade and began a lifetime of living at sea. But the thrills of this new world were met with the challenges of loneliness and disconnection from family. Emigrating to Canada in the mid-1980s, I found myself working on one of the most challenging jobs anyone could face: bringing up the famed Ocean Ranger oil rig from its untimely place of rest. The largest floating oil rig in the world sank in the exploratory oil fields off the grand banks of Newfoundland. These tumultuous waters have taken many famous ships to an early grave, the Titanic being the most famous. Many similarities exist between the two vessels, but with the Ocean Ranger, no one survived.
