The single most important question in life will be answered when we die: "Will I make it through to the other side-on the good side?" This one question-even if we have ridiculed it, even if we have tried to ignore it-will suddenly claim the attention of our entire being: "Am I saved? Am I going to heaven? Or am I going..." Don't wait until it is too late! If there is a way to be saved how foolish it would be to die without seeking it! And yet it is equally foolish to try living without the One who provides both hope and guarantee of rescue. Jesus Christ is not just the way to heaven, He is the only way to live a heavenly life down here. Salvation Basics brings answers to humanity's most pressing questions: Why do I need to be saved? How can I get to heaven? How can I get saved? How can I be sure I'm saved? How can I stay saved? How do I live now that I am saved? What are my first steps? Would you like to become a lover of God? Then, first allow Jesus Christ to love you! These are His answers...

How to Get Saved and Stay Saved

Salvation Basics

It is hugely appropriate that this tribute to one of the City of Coventry's proudest symbols should touchdown between our year as UK City of Culture and the club's 150th anniversary year. It is much more than the story of a great rugby club. It is a rich journey into the spirit of the game of rugby, the great characters who wore the blue and white hoops, the passion of its supporters, love for this club and this city, told with an easy style and the good humour that has characterised both of them through their long histories of triumph and disaster. And who better to author this than Steve "Scribble" Evans, who spent so much time in the stands (and in the bars, it seems) recording at least the printable events as they unfolded for the readers of the Coventry Evening Telegraph. We are indebted to Steve who has done this as a labour of love, and indeed to all those who have contributed, with all proceeds from book sales going to the club. 'Coventry Football Club' was founded just three years after the RFU itself and gained a name as one of the most famous clubs in the world; indeed it can fairly be said to have been the greatest club in the world in its heyday of the 1960s and 70s, providing - appropriately enough for the country's centre of automotive manufacturing - a seemingly endless production line of international players. It is worth pausing for a moment to reflect on the fact that the first ever England team to beat the All Blacks at home in New Zealand contained five of Coventry's finest (and the ref was an ex-All Black!). The club has not been without its tribulations, but we Cov kids are used to set-backs and have always hauled ourselves up again. Now, with our solid base in the Championship, our academy system developing a string of local talent, our far-reaching community projects, our state of the art pitch and ambitious site development plans, the club is in a good place. Add into the mix the spirit, passion and love that are deep in the DNA of 'Cov', and it looks well set for the next 150.

MAJESTIC COV - Once the Kings of English Rugby

Ron Middlebrook

(Book). Back in the good old days, all of America was infatuated with the singing cowboys of movies and radio. This huge interest led to the production of "cowboy guitars." These were guitars manufactured with western scenes painted right on the guitar, and were sold by stores such as Sears and Montgomery Wards. This fun, fact-filled book is an outstanding roundup of these wonderful instruments, starting with the Gene Autry model of 1932, through guitars made to capitalize on the popularity of the Lone Ranger and Roy Rogers, up through present-day makers. Includes hundreds of fantastic photos, a 32-page color section, and biographies of the artists behind the guitars, plus a chapter on leading custom guitar maker Greg Rich, showcasing some of the western guitars he has built. A must for every guitar collector! Steve Evans is the world's foremost authority on and leading collector of cowboy guitars. He owns a music store in Jacksonville, AR. A resident of Anaheim, CA, the affable Ron Middlebrook is the founder and owner of Centerstream Publishing. He is an avid instrument collector and husky musher.

Steve Evans has the remarkable ability to observe and maintain an objective distance while still engaging directly and passionately with his subjects.
