Product Description
A look at one of Hollywood’s most charismatic young actors.

Starring in the acclaimed cult films Heathers and Pump Up the Volume, and drawing comparisons to a young Jack Nicholson, Christian Slater was the embodiment of teenage cool. His position as an A-list star continued through the 1990s, with brilliant performances in films like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, True Romance, and Broken Arrow that further established him as a formidable force in acting. But fame and success did not sit easily with the young actor, and his off-screen behavior earned him a "bad boy" reputation. Despite the tabloid headlines, the actor has remained successful; more recently, he has turned his talents to the theater, starring in the stage version of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest as well as The Glass Menagerie. Nigel Goodall’s previous book was What’s Eating Johnny Depp? ... Read more

Not bad for fans
I've been a fan of Christian Slater ever since I saw Heathers. This book told me plenty about how he got to where he is today. It doesn't go into great depth and reveal anything overly shocking, but it's a good read for fans. It dwells on the more interesting parts of his career (True Romance, Heathers) and follows his off screen troubles right up to the present day. Mostly its observational rather than insightful, but enjoyable and well researched nonetheless. ... Read more

A true story of manipulation, obsession, and misplaced devotion
Movies based upon true stories are often the most thrilling ones of all."Desperate for Love" is a film about a rural small town in Georgia.Lily Becker, (Tammy Lauren), loves Alex, the high school football star and musician, one of the popular students.Cliff Petry, (Christian Slater), is Lily's childhood friend and one of the unpopular kids.He is also Alex's friend.These three teenagers' become embroiled in a triangle of passion, lust, and obsession that results in tragedy.When Alex's parents forbid him to continue his relationship with Lily, the manipulative "woman scorned" turns her attentions onto Cliff, using his love for her and her seductive beauty to win Alex back.

My plot overview might put the viewer in mind of a "Fatal Attraction" scenario, but this film has much more depth than your average "femme fatale" movie.All the characters are multi-faceted, particularly Lauren and Slater's characters.Lily Becker is manipulative, but the viewer catches revealing glimpses of a tumultuous family life that might provide a reason, (if not an excuse), for her actions.Cliff is portrayed as a young man seeking to discover his identity and the reason for his father's desertion of his mother.These two teenagers are sympathetically drawn.

Both Tammy Lauren and Christian Slater turn in engaging performances, and the other performers are equally good.Please give this movie a chance.God bless you all.

VERY NICE TRUE STORY
Based on a true story Cliff (Christian Slater, True Romance) is a small town social outcase whose infatuation with Lilly Becker his childhood friend and neighbor becomes more than an obsession.

Desperate For Love--Desperate For Some Excitement
This video is based loosely on a true story of young love and obsession gone horribly wrong and ending in murder.The subject matter involves a young lady (Tammy Lauren) "desperately" trying to win theaffections of a young man who is only mildly interested in her, and theconsequences of her using his best friend (Christian Slater) to attract hisattention.Christian Slater's character has been in love with the younglady for sometime, and the misplaced affection he receives brings thesituation to a horrible end.This film had a lot of conversational dramaand very little action.Fans of Tammy Lauren and Christian Slater areprobably going to want to own this film out of a since of completism,because both young people have considerable camera time.As a huge fan ofTammy Lauren myself, it pains me to see her talents wasted in this movie,but her ability to come off as real and true to the character she playsstill stands out in the performance. ...

A Sign For Life, derives from a glimpse into the future a pathway only God could open. It speaks of a vison which came to past and later developed into an orchestrated script with a horrific storyline.Visions are pathways to a purpose and while on this journey I realized more than ever that spiritual truths are far beyond sight or imagination. No matter what we know or what we may think power is, Gods' power is manifested through the unseen and His glory is revealed in the midst of life impossibilities.When tested and released through personal and private pain I was lonley and yet realizing I was not alone, I was broken but only God could do the repairs.The challange included the responsibilities of family, finance, and the aftermath of the storm.This powerful encounter of a night vision which stayed fashioned in the corner of my mind that is until, reality stepped in and took its place. This is not a writing of a medical journal, but it is of a medical journey, a vision which came to past, from the beginning to the ending. The end result, the Glory of God revealed! ... Read more

Product Description
This selection of sermons by John Slater is offered in part as a tribute to him and to his ministry in London over many years but also in part because he was a fine preacher and many of his friends and former parishioners felt a collection of his thoughts and words would be a useful resource.Perhaps for the preacher looking for occasional inspiration or a different way of looking at or understanding some seasonal feast; perhaps for the layperson wanting some inspiration or fresh approach to faith in private reading; perhaps for a confirmation candidate or parish group who might want material for discussion.While John tended to type and preserve his sermons they are rarely dated but the churches and institutions for which they were written are more frequently named.These range from the London parishes in which he served - All Saints' Margaret St, St Saviour's Warwick Avenue, St John's Wood and St George's Hanover Square - to include as well King's College in London, Christ's Hospital in Sussex, Union Theological Seminary and St Thomas' Fifth Avenue, both in New York.His themes might perhaps best be summed up in some words from an early sermon:"If any word can be said to sum up the teaching of Jesus in the Gospels it is surely the word metanoia, which means a complete turn around in our view of the world and our way of living.We tend to translate it by 'repentance' or even sometimes 'being born again' but both are lame because they use an exclusively religious term of reference.We shall not convert others by theology; we shall not transform the world unless theological truth is enfleshed in a completely new way, both in the language and concepts we use and in the way we try to live our lives.It is we ourselves who must be the mirror in which others can see the image of God; and by seeing the world in a new way be themselves changed to reflect the glory of God."To that task of enfleshing theological truth freshly John committed himself,pressing into service novels, films, contemporary writers and historical figures, scientific insights and philosophical developments.Even during his last years of illness he maintained his commitment to the task of preaching and to the adventure of fresh theological exploring and explaining.Would that we might all do the same!- From the Foreword ...

Product Description
INTRODUCTION I TAKE great pleasure in writing a fev: words of introduction to this important essay by my friend Rev. T. E. Slater, of the London Mission, Bangalore. The present work was submitted in 1899 to the Saxon Missionary Conference at Leipzig in response to an invitation for a 'Missionary Prize Essay' on I a presentation of the fundamental views of the Hindus, religious and philosophical, according to the Vedas, Upanishads, and of the Brahminic (especially the Vedanta) philosophy, and an estimate of the same from a Christian point of view.' The Essay (which thus determined the form and context of the present work) was to have in view the fact that, in the intellectual struggle which has been evoked by Christian missions in India, the educated Hindus are, indeed, ready to throw over the popular religion, but cling so much the more tenaciously to their more ancient faith as contained in their best religious literature. It was designed to instruct educated frie
