Sign up for Greg Laurie as he requires 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 highways of the Midwest, the pavements of NY, as he traces the wooly geography of acting professional Steve McQueen's life, associations, career, and spiritual quest. This iconic muscle car was the vehicle McQueen drove in his most raucous and enduring film, Bullitt. In the 1960s, McQueen was, matching to package office receipts, the biggest celeb of his technology and one of the coolest men to ever walk the planet. Greg Laurie was a teen at the time and an ardent supporter of ''The King of Cool", first mesmerized by McQueen in 1963's The Great Get away. Like millions of cinema supporters, Greg developed a lifelong fascination with the acting professional. Now he has an opportunity to tell McQueen's storyline. McQueen was a complicated, contradictory man who resided the same way he drove his motorcycles and cars: fearlessly, ruthlessly, and at top acceleration. After an eternity of fast cars, women, and drugs, McQueen got a surprising detour. With this reserve, Laurie thoughtfully interviews users of Steve McQueen's family, friends, co-stars, affiliates, widow, and pastor to describe the remarkable life change for the acting professional in the spring of 1979 - half a year before McQueen was diagnosed with terminal cancers. What were the critical steps that led McQueen to make such a life-altering decision? Perhaps more importantly, how come that part of his storyline so rarely advised? This book right answers these questions. Greg Laurie will observe the seeds of Christianity that were sown throughout McQueen's improbable life in which a Light finally shone into the darkness of his troubled life. These seeds miraculously germinated, allowing McQueen to observe that redemption through Jesus Christ is a prolonged truth more glittering and real than any magic of the entertainment industry.
