Glenn Stories


Book Description

Joan and Dick Wexo are first time book writers. They finally wrote Glenn Stories, the book, after years of telling the stories to family, friends, acquaintances, and even strangers. They had first worked on a list of any and all stories they could remember from Glenn's childhood. When they found themselves reliving particular stories over and over they decided to put them in book form. Dick is retired from a career in television. He worked in New York City, N.Y., Miami, Florida (twice) and New Orleans, Louisiana. Joan is justly proud of her long highly successful and rewarding stint as Glenn's mother. Joan, Dick and now adult son Glenn currently live in South Florida and are the owners of South Florida Rehearsal Studios and South Florida Real Sound. The Wexo's enjoyed the writing of Glenn Stories so much that they have begun work on a children's book, The House Mouse. Glenn Stories are just as advertised. They take the reader along a 14 plus years journey of individual stories about Glenn Richard Wexo, from a 3 month old adopted son to a teenager. The stories show the growth of a smart, active, dynamic, creative, and inquisitive person from baby to teen. The stories encompass his activities involving parents and grandparents, extended family, friends, colleagues, teachers, acquaintances, and even passing strangers. They could be the stories of many a young person. They are stories that show a complete growing person, warts and all. Over the fourteen year period covered, the reader will first meet Glenn in Brooklyn, New York where and he and parents lived until he was three. It highlights his early upbringing of baby to young child surrounded by family, and long term friends in an environment comfortable for all. Then it's on to South Florida where the entire family must make all kinds of adjustments to its new life. Finally, on to New Orleans and yet another life style adjustment just as Glenn heads into his teenage years. It was a wonderful ride.




Tell Me the Stories of the Old Testament


Book Description

Stories live beyond generations. It is, in part, for that reason that the Almighty has created an enormous library of stories specifically selected and edited by inspired prophets-a library called the Holy Scriptures. For thousands of years the children of God have read and applied those same stories to their own lives. Those stories are a divine gift conveying doctrine, principles, and examples of righteous living, or its opposite. Stories tend to stick in our minds, memories, and heart, instructing, inspiring, and edifying long after the first reading. I love the Old Testament because it is so real and so human. Its pages are full of real-life heroes and the worst stripe of villains. There are numerous layers of meaning embedded in each story, and this bookrepresents decades of study, insight, and application.

Stories I Only Tell My Friends


Book Description

Actor Rob Lowe's memoir presents a wryly funny and surprisingly moving account of an extraordinary life lived almost entirely in the public eye. A teen idol at fifteen, an international icon and founder of the Brat Pack at twenty, and one of Hollywood's top stars to this day, Rob Lowe chronicles his experiences as a painfully misunderstood child actor in Ohio uprooted to the wild counterculture of mid-seventies Malibu, where he embarked on his unrelenting pursuit of a career in Hollywood. The Outsiders placed Lowe at the birth of the modern youth movement in the entertainment industry. During his time on The West Wing, he witnessed the surreal nexus of show business and politics both on the set and in the actual White House. And in between are deft and humorous stories of the wild excesses that marked the eighties, leading to his quest for family and sobriety. Never mean-spirited or salacious, Lowe delivers unexpected glimpses into his successes, disappointments, relationships, and one-of-a-kind encounters with people who shaped our world over the last twenty-five years. Rob Lowe's New York Times bestselling autobiography, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, shares tales that are as entertaining as they are unforgettable.
