Fortunate Son: The Life of Elvis PresleyElvis Presley was celebrity's perfect storm. His sole but substantial contribution was talent, a fact Charles L. Ponce de Leon is careful to demonstrate throughout his wonderfully contextual Fortunate Son. Even as the moments of lucidity necessary to exercise that talent grew rarer and rarer, Elvis proved his musical gifts right up to the end of his life. Beyond that, however, he was fortune's child.

Elvis Presley was celebrity's perfect storm. His sole but substantial contribution was talent, a fact Charles L. Ponce de Leon is careful to demonstrate throughout his wonderfully contextual Fortunate Son. Even as the moments of lucidity necessary to exercise that talent grew rarer and rarer, Elvis proved his musical gifts right up to the end of his life. Beyond that, however, he was fortune's child. Fortunate Son succinctly traces out the larger shifts that repeatedly redefined the cultural landscape during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, using Elvis's life to present a brief history of American popular culture during these tumultuous decades.

Awesome Book
Format: Hardcover
This book is enlightening and insightful. It is a Big Picture view of the Bible and shows you how everything ties together in a beautiful picture of the unfailing love God. I have purchased several to give to others and I am currently using it to teach a Lay Pastor class and a small group. A recommended read for everyone.

I'm studying in Bible college right now and I am currently using this book in one of my classes. I love it! It has broken down the Bible and the stories in it in such an understandable way. So impressed and it's helped me learn and grow so very much.

Teaching Hermeneutics Made Easier!
Format: Hardcover
As a Bible teacher, the students in my class are relating to the material quite easily. This text book is far better than my "old hermeneutics textbook"! I wish I had this text book back when I was in school.
