An intimate look at movie star Steve McQueen's reckless life of
fast cars, women, and drugs all the way up to his dramatic
life-change and terminal cancer diagnosis. Join Greg Laurie as he
takes a cross-country drive in his 1968 Highland Green Ford Mustang
390 GT through the canyons of Malibu, the alleys of Hollywood, the
wide and open roads of the Midwest, and the streets of New York as
he traces the woolly geography of actor Steve McQueen's life,
relationships, career, and spiritual journey. This iconic muscle
car was the vehicle McQueen drove in his most raucous and enduring
film, Bullitt. In the 1960s, McQueen was, according to box office
receipts, the biggest movie star of his generation and one of the
coolest men to ever walk the planet. Greg Laurie was a teen at the
time and an ardent fan of "The King of Cool," first mesmerized by
McQueen in 1963's The Great Escape. Like millions of cinema fans,
Greg developed a lifelong fascination with the actor. Now he has a
chance to tell McQueen's story. McQueen was a complex,
contradictory man who lived the same way he drove his motorcycles
and cars: fearlessly, ruthlessly, and at top speed. After a
lifetime of fast cars, women, and drugs, McQueen took a surprising
detour. In this book, Laurie thoughtfully interviews Steve
McQueen's friends, co-stars, associates, widow, and pastor to tell
of the dramatic life-change for the actor in the spring of
1979--six months before McQueen was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
What were the critical steps that led McQueen to make such a
life-altering decision? Perhaps more importantly, why is that part
of his story so rarely told? This book answers these questions.
Greg Laurie will follow the seeds of Christianity that were sown
throughout McQueen's improbable life where a Light finally shone
into the darkness of his troubled life. These seeds miraculously
germinated, allowing McQueen to see that redemption through Jesus
Christ is a lasting truth more glittering and real than any magic
of the entertainment industry.
