Download or read book Cars Are the Stars written by Brian Rider and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cars of the StarsThis is a book about famous cars mostly in famous movies. It started out mainly as British cars and films but we had to include Bullitt, Le Mans, Grand Prix and other movies that were of note and even some cars that were of note but not necessarily involved in great feature movies. We have still concentrated on the British side and it is somewhat surprising that even the Saint's Volvo P1800 was built in the U.K. Some of the cars came from TV series and again I think we captured the most important ones. I think we have done justice to a wide range of cars and were lucky enough to discover a large number of images going back to the 1920's and even earlier. I had to include my Uncle Sandy's 1899 Le Roy which was the first car built in Canada and the first car to cross from Windsor to Detroit.

Download or read book Steve McQueen written by Greg Laurie and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intimate look at movie star Steve McQueen's reckless life of fast cars, women, and drugs all the way up to his dramatic life-change and terminal cancer diagnosis. Join Greg Laurie as he takes a cross-country drive in his 1968 Highland Green Ford Mustang 390 GT through the canyons of Malibu, the alleys of Hollywood, the wide and open roads of the Midwest, and the streets of New York as he traces the woolly geography of actor Steve McQueen's life, relationships, career, and spiritual journey. This iconic muscle car was the vehicle McQueen drove in his most raucous and enduring film, Bullitt. In the 1960s, McQueen was, according to box office receipts, the biggest movie star of his generation and one of the coolest men to ever walk the planet. Greg Laurie was a teen at the time and an ardent fan of "The King of Cool," first mesmerized by McQueen in 1963's The Great Escape. Like millions of cinema fans, Greg developed a lifelong fascination with the actor. Now he has a chance to tell McQueen's story. McQueen was a complex, contradictory man who lived the same way he drove his motorcycles and cars: fearlessly, ruthlessly, and at top speed. After a lifetime of fast cars, women, and drugs, McQueen took a surprising detour. In this book, Laurie thoughtfully interviews Steve McQueen's friends, co-stars, associates, widow, and pastor to tell of the dramatic life-change for the actor in the spring of 1979--six months before McQueen was diagnosed with terminal cancer. What were the critical steps that led McQueen to make such a life-altering decision? Perhaps more importantly, why is that part of his story so rarely told? This book answers these questions. Greg Laurie will follow the seeds of Christianity that were sown throughout McQueen's improbable life where a Light finally shone into the darkness of his troubled life. These seeds miraculously germinated, allowing McQueen to see that redemption through Jesus Christ is a lasting truth more glittering and real than any magic of the entertainment industry.
