Book Description
Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, two high school misfits in Depression-era Cleveland, were more like Clark Kent--meek, mild, and myopic--than his secret identity, Superman. Both boys escaped into the worlds of science fiction and pulp magazine adventure tales. Jerry wrote his own original stories and Joe illustrated them. In 1934, the summer they graduated from high school, they created a superhero who was everything they were not. It was four more years before they convinced a publisher to take a chance on their Man of Steel in a new format--the comic book. The author includes a provocative afterword about the long struggle Jerry and Joe had with DC Comics when the boys realized they had made a mistake in selling all rights to Superman for a mere $130.

Book Description
Join Pastor Allen Jackson as he reveals a biblical perspective on the startling events unfolding in our nation, and shows us how we can hold onto everlasting hope and flourish, even in the midst of the chaos. Christians today live in an unsettling reality that is defined by a steady cultural drift toward blatant immorality and disregard for the truth. The economic and social instability of the past couple of years--not to mention the fear and confusion brought on by the global pandemic--have only added to the atmosphere of uncertainty and anxiety. But Jackson has an urgent message of hope to share in Big Trouble Ahead: God's kingdom is unshakeable. If we take hold of the fundamental truths of the gospel and decipher the gathering storm clouds through the lens of Scripture, the church will be empowered to prevail. In Big Trouble Ahead, Jackson gives you the tools you need to: Be encouraged that nothing can separate you from God's love and his involvement in this generation Learn how to view current events and today's biggest controversies through the lens of a biblical perspective Be reminded of God's abiding concern for your life Whatever trials or challenges life may bring, Big Trouble Ahead is sure to bring you reassurance and renewed courage, rooted firmly in God's presence, goodness, and his message of unchanging hope in the gospel. Praise for Big Trouble Ahead: "In a world that seems to have completely lost its mind, Pastor Allen Jackson points us back to the steadfast hope we have in Christ. Not in Congress. Not in cancel culture. Not in conflict or controversy. In Christ." --Dave Ramsey, bestselling author and radio host "Because Allen Jackson is one of the most insightful and dynamic pastors on the planet, when he speaks, I try to listen. True to his always Christ-centered message, Pastor Jackson reminds us that the 'big trouble ahead' should not rob believers of their hope and expectation." --Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas, 2008 presidential candidate, New York Times bestselling author, and host of popular weekly talk show Huckabee "Pastor Allen Jackson is an uncompromising voice for truth in a generation where those in authority haven't 'played it straight.' In Big Trouble Ahead, Jackson lays out current events through the lens of the Bible and offers a guide to help you wisely chart new territory." --Eric Metaxas, #1 New York Times bestselling author and host of the nationally syndicated Eric Metaxas Radio Show
