He is a most powerful extradimentional being that has been around
for millions of years. The ultimate in beauty, wisdom and power, he
is now pitted against one Thomas Hankins and those like him, in the
End of Days. Between the beginnings of this powerful being and his
battle with man, many questions are answered in this epic drama.
Questions like, why does man exist, why you were born, what are
UFOs, why do good people suffer bad things and what is the ultimate
destiny of all things.
A tour diary of life on the road with one of Minnesota's greatest
bands-with nearly 100 never-before-seen photographs "Don't bore us,
get to the chorus" is Bill Sullivan's motto, which will come as no
surprise to anyone who opens Lemon Jail. A raucous tour diary of
rock 'n' roll in the 1980s, Sullivan's book puts us in the van with
the Replacements in the early years. Barreling down the highway to
the next show through quiet nights and hightailing it out of
scandalized college towns, Sullivan-the young and reckless
roadie-is in the middle of the joy and chaos, trying to get the
band on stage and the crowd off it and knowing when to jump in and
cover Alice Cooper. Lemon Jail shows what it's like to keep the
band on the road and the wheels on the van-and when to just close
your eyes and hit the gas. That first van, dubbed the Lemon Jail by
Bill, takes the now legendary Replacements from a south Minneapolis
basement to dive bars and iconic rock clubs to college parties and
eventually an international stage. It's not a straight shot or a
smooth ride, and there's never a dull moment, whether Bob Stinson
is setting a record for the quickest ejection from CBGB in NYC or
hiding White Castle sliders around a hotel room or whether Paul
Westerberg is sneaking gear out of a hostile venue or saving Bill's
life at a brothel in New Jersey. With growing fame (and new vans)
come tours with REM and X (what happens when the audience isn't
allowed to stand?), Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the Violent
Femmes (against their will), and Saturday Night Live, where the
band's televised antics earn the edict You'll never play on NBC
again. Fast forward: You'll never play Washington, D.C., again. Or
Moorhead. Hiding in fans' backyards while the police search the
streets and pelted with canned goods at a Kent State food drive,
the Replacements hit rough patches along with sweet spots, and
Lemon Jail reveals the grit and glory both onstage and off, all
told in the irrepressible, full-throttle style that makes Bill
Sullivan an irresistible guide on this once-in-a-lifetime road trip
with a band on the make.

Why are you attracted to a certain "type?" Why are you a morning
person? Why do you vote the way you do? From a witty new voice in
popular science comes a life-changing look at what makes you you.
"I can't believe I just said that." "What possessed me to do that?"
"What's wrong with me?" We're constantly seeking answers to these
fundamental human questions, and now, science has the answers. Clever,
relatable, and revealing, this eye-opening narrative from Indiana
University School of Medicine professor Bill Sullivan explores why we
do the things we do through the lens of genetics, microbiology,
psychology, neurology, and family history. From what we love (and hate)
to eat and who we vote for in political elections to when we lose our
virginity and why some people find drugs so addicting, this
illuminating book uses the latest scientific research to unveil the
secrets of what makes us tick. Filled with fascinating
insights--including how experiences that haunted our grandparents echo
in our DNA, why the bacteria in our guts mess with our minds, and
whether there really is a "murder gene"--this revolutionary book
explains the hidden forces shaping who we are, pointing us on a path to
how we might become our best selves.
New Perspectives on Breaking the 200 Barrier offers pastors and
church leaders insight and strategies that will help their church
move beyond the average and into the extraordinary. Based on
current church trends and new research, seasoned speaker and
strategist, Dr. Bill Sullivan, author of Ten Steps to Breaking the
200 Barrier - 1988, revisits the need for churches to strive to
grow beyond a membership of 200, focusing this time on the
congregation and their decisions that effect the church as a whole.
Sullivan stresses the need for church leaders to understand the
value of training the people, not just the pastors, to understand
and accept the changes that come with growth and the Church's
desire to expand Christ's kingdom. See www.200barrier.org for Free
