It’s the 1980s, and the mean streets of the City of Angels are boiling over with racial tensions and crime, fueled by an affordable and dangerous new drug—crack cocaine. At just 23 years old, Rick only wants to do his job and survive, but as one of the only white trash collectors in predominantly black neighborhoods, every day he risks persecution and execution by the population he serves. Are you feeling brave? Then ride along with Rick on his route, and welcome to a level of hell you’ve never seen or imagined. The stakes get even higher when a known murderer on the route decides that Rick is an undercover cop and plans to shoot him. How will Rick get out of this alive? Prepare yourself for a shocking, electrifying immersion into a compelling memoir of a life where survival is never guaranteed.

Whether you are reading the story of Pilate's encounter with angry crowds during the trial of Jesus or reading one of the numerous accounts of mob violence in the book of Acts, you will find that the threat of crowd violence is a common theme in the New Testament, particularly in the Gospels and Acts. In Facing the Mob, Benjamin Browning provides a thorough examination of how government officials in the early Roman Empire responded to civil unrest. He then uses these insights from the ancient world to provide readers of the New Testament with tools that will help them to interpret civil unrest passages more effectively.

Safe Skipper is a practical and thought provoking guide for yacht skippers of all levels of experience, full of invaluable advice and tips on how to reduce to the minimum the risks of mishaps and equipment failure at sea.
