This book captures the legend of Joe McTernan. He was a legendary figure to his family and all that knew him. When reading this book, you will be amazed, astonished and laughing about his adventures and exploits. He almost seems like a character out of a novel, but all his exploits are true. He possessed incredible strength, an unbelievable appetite, along with an indomitable will. He could defeat professionally trained fighters and walk up to wild deer and touch them! He was an expert with horses and a marksman with a rifle. He overcame accidents and sicknesses that few if any people could and yet lived to 95! His encounter with Jesus Christ, at the very end of his life, was a true miracle by all who witnessed it. He was supposed to die, but instead came out of a catatonic state praising Jesus as his Savior. He could not breathe, yet with supernatural power was proclaiming Jesus. He was a beacon of God's love to all that came close to him. I Can Take His Punch is uniquely inspirational and a most enjoyable read. It is a book that you cannot put down, and a story you will never forget. John P. McTernan is the founder of Defend and Proclaim the Faith Ministry. He has written eight books including his best seller As America Has Done to Israel. He has spoken on hundreds of radio and TV shows defending Israel in light of Bible prophecy. He cofounded International Cops for Christ and Blessing Israeli Believers. He has a BS from Virginia Commonwealth University and a honorary PhD from Calvary Christian College.

Parents don't want their kids hanging around him because he acts out, but Paco's parents don't object when their son picks Chad as a friend.

Intertwining the details of Abbie Hoffman's intense personal life with the movement politics of the sixties, seventies, and eighties, Dan Simon writes Abbie's story from the point of view of his younger brother Jack, creating a full and poignant portrait of one of the geniuses of the 1960s counterculture. From the creation of the Yippies! in 1967 and the tumult of the 1968 Democratic National Convention protests, to the humor and agony of the Chicago conspiracy trial, the scandal of Abbie's 1973 cocaine bust, and his six and a half years as a fugitive, to his reemergence as environmentalist "Barrie Freed' and his final struggle with manic-depressive illness, this biography offers a compelling examination of the contradictions that make Abbie Hoffman such a compelling figure. With the information and affection only a brother could bring to the complexities of Abbie's life, Hoffman and Simon portray Abbie's public persona alongside his private aspirations and fears, romances, and enduring family relationships.

Many books and movies have been created by telling the story of my brother, Muhammad Ali. However, before I am called home, I want to share some of my life stories and memories with this book so people can learn more about my family, my brother, and me through the eyes of a member of the Clay/Ali family. I was there from the beginning and witnessed first-hand how our family’s lives were changed as 'The Greatest of all Time' emerged from being a fun-loving kid on the streets of Louisville, Kentucky, to becoming an icon recognized around the world. The memories I share in this book are ones that I will treasure forever. Living through these experiences helped shape my life and made me the man I am today. I can say for a fact that no other man took as many punches from the champ as I did as a result of the training and sparring sessions that we had over the years together. It is my hope that after reading my story and accounts of key events in my family's life, you will walk away with an even greater appreciation of the Clay/Ali family name, history and legacy. I encourage you to treasure each day and strive for your own personal greatness. Peace be upon you (As-salamu alaykum) Rahaman Ali a.k.a. Rudolph Arnett Clay
