This Magic Moment is a heartwarming true story about a white insurance executive's three-decade friendship with four legendary African American singers and their remarkable journey together. Three were Rock and Roll Hall of Famers - Prentiss Barnes and Harvey Fugua of The Moonglows, Bill Pinkney of The Original Drifters. The fourth was Rufus McKay, a Mississippi treasure and lead singer of The Red Tops. The book is a celebration of the power of music, friendship and trusting God's plan.Anyone who fondly remembers the 1950s and 60s will love Morris' vivid descriptions and nostalgic look back at life and culture during these simpler times. Music lovers, especially fans of Doo wop, early R&B, vocal group harmony and Rock and Roll, will appreciate the extensive music history and backstories woven throughout the book and be amazed how a fellow fan, a regular guy "not in the business", had a front row seat at some of the industry's biggest events, even performing onstage with some of his heroes. People of faith will be inspired and touched reading how God used Bill and the bonds that were formed among these five men to accomplish His purpose and bless all their lives. Bill knows he only had these amazing experiences because God's hand was writing the story.This Magic Moment reminds us that true friendship is possible among people of different backgrounds when we focus on the things we have in common; that music has a magical power to bring people together and instill shared, universal emotion; and that sometimes God works in mysterious ways!Author: William H.

Der Manchurian Kandidat, 1 DVD

Major Bennett Marco (Denzel Washington) wird nachts von schrecklichen Alpträumen heimgesucht. Immer wieder durchlebt er die traumatischen Ereignisse, die er im ersten Golfkrieg erlebte, als er mit seiner Truppe in einen feindlichen Hinterhalt geriet. Tagsüber vertritt er bei Vorträgen die Überzeugung, dass Sergeant Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber), der sich nun mit Hilfe seiner machtbewussten Mutter, der einflussreichen Senatorin Eleanor Prentiss Shaw (Meryl Streep) um das Amt des Vizepräsidenten der USA bewirbt, ihn und seine Jungs gerettet hat, doch in seinem Unterbewusstsein bohrt der Zweifel. Zunehmend verunsichert beginnt Marco die offizielle Version der großartigen Rettungsaktion, die fester Bestandteil des Mythos um Shawn geworden ist, in Frage zu stellen. Und immer ungeheurer werden die Abgründe an Verrat und Manipulation, auf die er stößt. Immer unheimlicher werden seine Enthüllungen. Worauf das Pentagon freilich nicht gerade erfreut reagiert, denn die Demontage des Kriegshelden würde dessen Wahl gefährden. Oder ist Marco nur ein paranoider Spinner, dessen Golfkriegssyndrom ihm seltsame Streiche spielt? Nur: Wie ist das seltsame Metallteil zu erklären, dass sich unter seinen Haut befindet? Warum muss der liberale Senator Thomas Jordan (Jon Voight) sterben? Und was hat der Rüstungskonzern Manchurian Global mit der ganzen Sache zu tun?Captain Ben Marco und Sergeant Raymond Shaw haben gemeinsam im Golfkrieg gedient. Zehn Jahre danach hat Shaw mit Hilfe seiner Mutter Karriere in der Politik gemacht, Marco dagegen kämpft wie viele seiner Kameraden mit seinen Kriegserinnerungen: Er ist ein nervliches Wrack, geplagt von Alpträumen, die er mit anderen ehemaligen Kameraden teilt. Er geht zu Shaw nach Washington, um sich Klarheit zu verschaffen.
