A fresh biography of legendary entertainment manager Colonel Tom Parker, with a contrarian and corrective point of view.Colonel Tom Parker, often reviled in his time, led the strategy from the earliest days of Elvis''s career. Together, they built the most legendary partnership in show business. For the first time, Colonel Parker''s story is told by an insider, Greg McDonald, who worked under Parker for years. Never-before-heard stories of Parker''s collaboration with Elvis reveal the man behind the legend and the strategies that made Elvis a commercial groundbreaker.Ingrained lore has it that Parker took advantage of "poor country boy" Elvis to sign the singer who became "The King". But Elvis and the Colonel shows that Elvis was not foolish when it came to business arrangements. This book is full of stories of innovations Parker made with his star client, including:--ingenious merchandising (eg, selling both "I love Elvis" and "I hate Elvis" buttons)--licensing and branding, from suits to toys, ashtrays to guitars--establishing The King as an artist-in-residence in Las Vegas--creating televised concert events, like Elvis'' Christmas specialMany of the practices Parker established are still deployed today by most major agencies. Parker''s experience as a carny and an immigrant shaped his management style when he was at his peak, showing how he adapted big top practices to the big time. The heart of Elvis and the Colonel is the long, strong, warm and complex relationship between two iconic men.

A sympathetic, compassionate, and inspiring guide for parents—from the founders of one of the first Christian ministries for parents of LGBTQ children.Greg and Lynn McDonald had never interacted with members of the LGBTQ community until they discovered that their son was gay. Without resources or support, they had no idea how to come to terms with this discovery. At first they tried to “fix” him, to no avail. But even in the earliest days of their journey, the McDonalds clung to two absolutes: they would love God, and they would love their son. “An essential resource for Christian parents of LGBTQ kids,” (Matthew Vines, Executive Director of The Reformation Project) this book follows the McDonald family’s journey over the next twenty years, from a place of grief to a place of gratitude and acceptance that led the McDonalds to start one of the first Christian ministries for parents of LGBTQ children. Based on their experience from counseling and coaching hundreds of struggling Christian parents, they offer tools for understanding your own emotional patterns and spiritual challenges. They also help you experience a deeper relationship with God while handling difficult or unexpected situations that are out of your control. You will discover tested principles, patterns, and spiritual lessons that can change the way we all see our families, and help Christians at large think through Christ-like ways to respond to the LGBTQ community. Written in an unvarnished, honest, reassuring, and relatable voice, this is a practical guide for parents and a roadmap to learning to love God, the people He created, and the church, even when they seem to be at odds.- LjudbokEngelska, 2019

Este libro es para mamás y papás cristianos que están en el trayecto de vida con su hijo LGBTQ+. La Guía de estudio Cómo aceptar el trayecto es un recurso para ayudarles a explorar la singular historia de su familia, donde pueden ahondar en las lecciones y verdades que ofrece la Biblia sobre cómo amar a Dios y amar a su hijo, ya sea como parte de un pequeño grupo o por su cuenta.
Cuando los autores Greg y Lynn McDonald se enteraron de que su único hijo es gay, se les cayó el mundo. Como fieles cristianos y padres devotos, se les dificultaba encontrar la manera de conciliar su amor por su hijo con su amor por Dios. Comparten lo que aprendieron en 21 principios recogidos tanto de su experiencia como de las experiencias y sabiduría de miles de familias cristianas que han recorrido este camino antes que ustedes y al hacerlo han descubierto bendiciones inesperadas y una esperanza increíble.
Ya sea que se estén recuperando de una nueva revelación o la hayan estado procesando por un tiempo, esta Guía de estudio es un espacio seguro para que procesen los obstáculos emocionales y espirituales de criar al hijo LGBTQ+ que Dios les ha confiado.
