Don’t Worry About It is a hilarious read for those who need a good laugh, kid or grown-up. The comical stories contain a cast of colorful characters and some downright funny misadventures. The author reminisces about highlights from youth that readers of any age will identify with, from a kid accidentally crapping his pants and trying to avoid detection, to a delinquent running wild on a sack-tapping spree. Readers who enjoyed the author’s first book, Rugged Knuckles and Painful Chuckles, are sure like this one even more. The stories are poignantly illustrated by the author’s son, Vince Maul.

This is the last in the trilogy of "Jeffrey's Shorts". Some of the inspiration has come from the fact that Jesus told lots of stories; a lost Son, a lost sheep and a lost coin are just three. Of the fourteen stories in this book; one is true but with the names and places changed, the reader will therefore have to guess. I am honoured that previous books have been well received in New Zealand, France, Hong Kong and Germany. May the God who inspired the author give hope and joy to the reader. Geoffrey Crees

Matt Christopher delves into the life of Jeff Gordon, the racing sensation, and recreates his memorable moments with exciting turn-by-turn action. This fast-paced biography includes photos, Gordon's stats, and a list of his NASCAR career highlights.
Jeff Gordon's long-awaited racing memoir -- an unprecedented and thrilling look inside the life of a NASCAR champion. It didn't matter that Jeff Gordon hailed from California -- hardly a fountain of stockcar pedigree -- or that they said he was too small to race with the big boys on the dirt tracks and ovals of his youth. It didn't matter that Dale Earnhardt called this upstart "Wonderboy" -- no one raced the legendary Earnhardt harder, and no two drivers had more respect for each other. And it didn't matter that the racing world said Gordon was finished with the breakup of the crew on the #24 car and the departure of Ray Evernham, his crew chief, in 1999 -- he came back two seasons later to...
