A top crime journalist reveals precisely how the world-shattering murder of John Lennon happened—and why In Let Me Take You Down, Jack Jones penetrates the borderline world of dangerous fantasy in which Mark David Chapman stalked and killed Lennon: Mark David Chapman rose early on the morning of December 8 to make final preparations. . . . Chapman had neatly arranged and left behind a curious assortment of personal items on top of the hotel dresser. In an orderly semicircle, he had laid out his passport, an eight-track tape of the music of Todd Rundgren, his little Bible, open to The Gospel According to John (Lennon). He left a letter from a former YMCA supervisor at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, where five years earlier, he had worked with refugees from the Vietnam War. Beside the letter were two photographs of himself surrounded by laughing Vietnamese children. At the center of the arrangement of personal effects, he had placed the small Wizard of Oz poster of Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion. “I woke up knowing, somehow, that when I left that room, that was the last time I would see the room again,” Chapman recalled. “I truly felt it in my bones. I don’t know how. I had never seen John Lennon up to that point. I only knew that he was in the Dakota. But I somehow knew that it was it, this was the day. So I laid out on the dresser at the hotel room . . . just a tableau of everything that was important in my life. So it would say, ‘Look, this is me. Probably, this is the real me. This is my past and I’m going, gone to another place.’ “I practiced what it was going to look like when police officers came into the room. It was like I was going through a door and I knew I was going to go through a door, the poet’s door, William Blake’s door, Jim Morrison’s door. . . . I was leaving what I was, going into a future of uncertainty.” Praise for Let Me Take You Down “Jack Jones has written a beautiful book, rare in its attention to the social context giving rise to stalkers and assassins of celebrities . . . celebrity worship is ambivalent—admiration shares the altar with envy. When the worshipped disappoints, a ‘nobody’ can become a ‘somebody’ by killing the pop culture idol. Let Me Take You Down is both fascinating and brilliant.”—Ladd Wheeler, Professor of Psychology, University of Rochester, Former President of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology

Despite John Lennon's immense popularity, little attention has been paid to his work apart from the Beatles. Yet his solo artistry not only illuminates what he gave to the Beatles, but also constitutes a significant contribution to popular music in general. Lennon was able to fuse experiments in technology, instrumentation, lyrics, and musical form into recordings that were both artistically and commercially successful. Few singer-songwriters have been his equal. In this long overdue investigation, authors Ben Urish and Ken Bielen give Lennon's artistry the opportunity to speak for itself. After a brief biographical introduction, chronologically arranged chapters discuss his incredible body of work album-by-album and single-by-single. A discography and annotated bibliography conclude the book. Despite John Lennon's immense popularity, little attention has been paid to the overall efforts of his work apart from the Beatles. Yet his solo artistry not only illuminates what he gave to the Beatles (and what the Beatles experience gave to him), but also constitutes a significant contribution to popular music in general. Lennon was able to fuse experiments in technology, instrumentation, lyrics, and musical form into recordings that were both artistically and commercially successful. Whether expressing emotions, explaining philosophies, protesting social situations, or ruminating on the joys and pains of personal entanglements, few singer-songwriters have been his equal. In this long overdue investigation, authors Ben Urish and Ken Bielen give Lennon's artistry the opportunity to speak for itself. After a brief biographical introduction, chronologically arranged chapters discuss his incredible body of work album-by-album and single-by-single. A discography and annotated bibliography conclude the book. Although he is often lauded as a spokesperson for his generation, this praise, however intended, is far too limiting. Lennon was able to transform the intensely personal into the deeply universal (as well as the reverse), often with humor and pointed insight. At their core, his songs are simultaneously humanistic and transcendent. And as such, they-and he-continue to be relevant, and will certainly remain a valuable part of our cultural heritage for a long time to come.

A nationally best-selling author and pastor draws lessons of hope and transformation in the perils of excess, the agonies of repentance, and the wonder of redemption found in the life stories of several icons of pop music and rock and roll. From the author of Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon and Steve McQueen: The Salvation of an American Icon comes Lennon, Dylan, Alice, and Jesus, which traces the journeys, rise, fall, and sometimes the redemption of famous entertainers who were brought to their knees—a great place to look up and finally meet their Maker. Lennon, Dylan, Alice, and Jesus examines wretched excess, self-absorption and miraculous redemption; the book is a raw, sensitive, and unforgettable journey of sex, drugs, rock and roll, and sweet salvation. Author Greg Laurie traces the lives of rock stars and entertainment figures and legends who wallowed in the decadence of both the high life and low life, as they alternately experienced Heaven and Hell on Earth. He travels with them into their demonic abysses and joyfully chronicles their ultimate ascension to their prodigal moments. Lennon, Dylan, Alice, and Jesus chronicles the birth of rock and roll in the mid-1950s to today, giving the book an all-encompassing study of pop music history. Through his personal memories, coupled with his carefully crafted observational research, Greg Laurie not only looks deeply into the hearts and souls of these unusual people but bids the reader to join him on a spiritual journey down the secluded halls of the music industry with the individuals who crafted modern-day masterpieces. Readers will enjoy never-before-published accounts of the biggest recording artists of our time and hear testimonies from rockers of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and beyond. More importantly, every reader will find a deeper sense of God’s presence, even in times of loneliness and desolation.

In his preface to this devotional commentary on the Gospel of John, Meyer writes: "This is the Gospel of the Divine Life of Jesus. The eagle has always been its recognised emblem, as denoting its sublime and heavenly character. And, clearly, in its diction, its insight into the deepest truths, its repeated testimony to the Glory and Deity of our Lord, it holds a unique, place among the records of His life. It soars. It holds fellowship with the Throne. Its eyrie is in the Heart of God. And yet, in one of its aspects, this Gospel is as much the record of the Man Christ Jesus, as of the Only-begotten Son; and for this it is of inestimable worth to all who desire to follow in His steps. There is no part of Scripture more conducive to the culture of the inner life; and it is under this aspect that it is considered in the following pages." This volume contains the following meditations: The Word (John 1:1) The Word In Creation (John 1:2-3) The Word As Light (John 1:9) The Word Made Flesh (John 1:14) The Word Declaring the Unseen God (John 1:18) Three Memorable Days (John 1:23, 29, 37) The Son of Man (John 1:51) The First Miracle (John 2:11) The Temple of the Body (John 2:21) A Psalm of Life (John 3:6) The Shadow of the Cross (John 3:14) “Sent” (John 3:34) Life As a Fountain (John 4:14) Daring to Act in Faith (John 4:50) The Divine Master Workman (John 5:17) The Will of God (John 5:30) The Father’s Name (John 5:43) The Father’s Gift to the Son (John 6:37) The Bread Which Gives and Sustains Life (John 6:57) The Words of Jesus (John 6:68) Rivers of Living Water (John 7:37-39) The Penitent’s Gospel (John 8:11) The Light of Life (John 8:12) Christ’s Absorption in His Father (John 8:28) Made Free by the Son of God (John 8:31, 32, 36) The Glory of Christ (John 8:50) The Works of God (John 9:4) The Blessed Life of Trust (John 10:4) The Ideal Shepherd (John 10:11) The Work of an Ungifted Worker (John 10:40, 41, 42) Love’s Delays (John 11:6) Anointed for His Burial (John 12:3) Falling Into the Ground to Die (John 12:24) The Troubled Saviour (John 12:27) The World and Its Prince (John 12:31) The True Light of God’s Children (John 12:35-36) The Laver in the Life of Jesus (John 13:5) Heaven Delayed But Guaranteed (John 13:36) “Many Mansions” (John 14:2) The Reality of Which Jacob’s Dream Was the Shadow (John 14:6) Christ Revealing the Father (John 14:8-9) The Great Deeds of Faith (John 14:12) How to Secure More and Better Prayer (John 14:16) The Other Paraclete (John 14:16) The Three Dispensations (John 14:17) Three Paradoxes (John 14:18-19) Many Mansions for God (John 14:23) Christ’s Legacy and Gift Of Peace (John 14:27) The Story of the Vine (John 15:1) “Abide in Me, and I in You” (John 15:4) Prayer That Prevails (John 15:7) The Hatred of the World (John 16:2-3) The Work of the Holy Spirit on the World (John 16:8) Christ’s Reticence Supplemented by the Spirit’s Advent (John 16:12-15) The Conqueror of the World (John 16:33) Consecrated to Consecrate (John 17:19) The Lord’s Prayer for His People’s Oneness (John 17:21-23) The Love That Bound Christ to the Cross (John 18:4) Drinking the Cup (John 18:1-14) The Hall of Annas (John 18:13) How It Fared With Peter (John 18:16) The Trial Before Caiaphas (John 18:24) “Judas, Which Betrayed Him” (John 18:2) The First Trial Before Pilate (John 18:28) The Second Trial Before Pilate (John 18:39) The Seven Sayings of the Cross (John 19:16) Christ’s Burial (John 19:40) The Day of Resurrection (John 20:1) The Lake of Galilee (John 21:1) Peter’s Love and Work (John 21:15) The Life-Plan of Peter and John (John 21:22) Back to the Father (John 21:25)

The compelling, tragic and often bizarre life stories of history's famous and infamous assassins, now collected in one comprehensive, easy-to-use volume. The names are well-known, but how much do you know about the inner lives of John Hinckley Jr., who shot Ronald Reagan in a misguided attempt to impress actress Jodie Foster, or Mark David Chapman, who, after shooting John Lennon, sat down on the sidewalk to continue reading The Catcher in the Rye? And what about the world's not-so-famous assassins? Find out what happened when Carlito Dimahilig attacked Imelda Marcos with a bolo knife (and how one of her many famous pairs of shoes came into play!), or why Max Hödel could be considered one of the least successful assassins in history. With breadth of study and a keen eye for detail, George Fetherling has compiled a fascinating and very readable compendium -- the first of its kind -- of more than 200 biographies of assassins from all periods and countries, for the scholar and general reader alike. Fetherling also provides an overview of the history of assassination, outlines the five psychological types of assassins and gives a run-down of the most useful literature in the field. Ideal for students, historians, history buffs, psychologists and readers interested in biography and true crime, this book is a must have window into the lives of those who have drastically shaped the history of our world.

This story is about the love affair between a Rock Star and a young girl. They met secretly, but out in the open--in front of the family business. He watched her grow up. As they spent more time together, their conversations became more stimulating. Because of some of her wacky suggestions, he found he wasn't limited to writing only about love. They discussed religious beliefs, the Bible, world peace, space travel, world hunger, the environment, business principles, panic in business, and how farming communities were formed centuries ago. The book also shows some of each of their personal struggles.

By all appearances, John Lennon was working on a tell-all memoir in the final years of his life. Every day he poured into diaries his raw thoughts and feelings—about his jealous rivalry with Paul McCartney; his tumultuous marriage to Yoko Ono; his love for his sons, Julian and Sean; his hatred of the music business; his escape into programmed dreams; his acerbic opinions of England and America. Written by one of the few people to have read those diaries, and based on decades of research, Nowhere Man takes you on a journey through Lennon's consciousness. Covering a range of topics close to John's heart, from Abbey Road to the zodiac, the book offers vivid insights into his extraordinary life. It examines his passion for money, his forceful rejection of a Beatles reunion, his drug use, his forays into the occult, his brief acceptance of Jesus, and his solitary struggle in the Dakota to create a meaningful life in the glaring spotlight of fame. A portrait of an artist in turmoil striving to reconnect with his muse—which culminates with the release of Double Fantasy, his final album—Nowhere Man is an unforgettable look at Lennon's last years and the tragic fate of a beloved cultural icon whose transcendent music changed the world.

Through a miraculous wrinkle in time, 40-year old John Lennon returns to us on the 40th anniversary of his passing. His appearance in front of the Dakota apartment building on December 8, 2020 in New York City begins a non-stop adventure that is intriguing, heartbreaking and humorous. Saint John Lennon: It¿s About Time! is a melding of history, fact, fiction and fantasy. This time-travel fantasy is a page-turning action adventure giving us a glimpse into the patterns of the past and potential future outcomes of our present policies. It¿s also a love story that follows John as he re-establishes his relationships with Yoko, Paul and Ringo, his fans and, most poignantly, with his sons Julian and Sean who grew up without him. We follow John as he adjusts to unimaginable technology for someone who left the earth in 1980: the internet, drones, bots, holograms, 4D television, humanoid robots, driver-less cars and even space travel for pleasure. He is enamored by the music culture and makes rock-n-roll history of his own. This thought-provoking escapade about peace and love will simultaneously bring tears to your eyes and have you laughing out loud. Baby boomers, Beatles fans old and new, John Lennon admirers, and anyone dedicated to the peace movement will be inspired and delighted by this fast-paced, can¿t-put-it-down romp.

National Bestseller Drawing on previously unknown sources, unpublished letters, and unprecedented access to all the key figures, author and journalist Philip Norman gives us the most complete and revealing portrait of John Lennon that is ever likely to be published. For this masterpiece of biography, Philip Norman set himself the challenge of looking afresh at every aspect of Lennon’s much-chronicled life. He has not just dug deep into the archives, including his own vast collection of tapes and notebooks dating back to the 60s, but spoken to hundreds of witnesses, from every walk of life and every stage of Lennon’s. The interviewees include Sean Lennon, whose moving reminiscences reveal his father as never before, and Yoko Ono, who speaks with sometimes shocking candour about her marriage to John. In his brilliant Shout!, we were shown a band; in John Lennon, Philip Norman gives us a portrait of a man. It reconciles as never before the contradictions of this endlessly fascinating character–the volatile and violent hippie, the phenomenally wealthy advocate of no possessions, the family man and junkie–and his journey from Liverpool suburbia to becoming one of the presiding geniuses of pop culture.
