"Life is a trajectory with many paths that promise to take you to your final destination. Many times on this…
path called life, you come to a crossroads, and you don't know where to go. You may wonder, "Which route can get me where I want to go the fastest? Will I encounter difficulties along the way? What lies ahead?" These are common questions that everyone has asked themselves at some point in life. Having gone through a process similar to this, I can identify with what young people in today's society are facing. Through this book it is my desire to make this journey of The Rhythm of Life much easier, more desirable and even fun. By sharing (my) life experiences, advice and what God says in His Word, I pray that I can plant hope in the hearts of these boys and girls and influence them to live life to the fullest, in 'God's way'." -- Translation provided by NLS
"For the first time, music legend Rudy Pérez shares his remarkable journey from a poor refugee kid in Miami to…
composing the greatest hit songs on the world stage. Named the most successful Latin songwriter in history, Rudy Pérez is the creator behind some of the bestselling records of Beyoncé, Julio Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, and IL Divo. In his one-of-a-kind memoir, Rudy tells about his childhood in Cuba and the heart-gripping visits to his father in prison during the height of the communist revolution. Tracing his family's perilous escape on one of the last Freedom Flights to America, Rudy opens up about the years of poverty and growing up in a crime-ridden neighborhood. These memories contrast with tender moments of dancing to the stereo with his siblings, nodding along to his mother's classical favorites, and swaying to blues melodies with his father. At a young age, Rudy tried his hand at recreating the music he loved, and his talent led him to an unprecedented career with over 300 hit songs. With years of hard work, ceaseless creativity, and a strong faith, Rudy was the first Latin music artist to win Billboard Producer of the Decade. Looking back over his five-time Grammy winning legacy, Rudy shares little-known stories of faith and behind-the-scenes details of working with stars like Fergie, Jaci Velasquez, Michael Bolton, Simon Cowell, and Sam Moore." -- Goodreads

"On August 28, 2016, Juan Gabriel died in Santa Monica, California. He was the greatest idol of Mexican popular music…
and one of the singer-songwriters with the greatest worldwide prestige. After a life marked by family tragedy, childhood abandonment in a boarding school and the suffering of the young musician, his great effort and charisma led to the consecration of the artist with shows on multiple stages in America and Europe. Juan Gabriel, the singer-songwriter who turned his songs into a ode to love, died in a tragic and sad way, to the sorrow of his millions of fans, dismayed by his farewell, his eternal goodbye. But who was Juan Gabriel really? At what point did Alberto Aguilera Valadez, his real name, appear to sink into sadness? What was the Divo of Juárez like as a father, a friend, a lover? Marked by an extraordinary investigation, Javier León Herrera and Juan Manuel Navarro, expert journalists from the world of show business, reveal in this book what the last days of the Mexican idol were like, who his confidants were, what his last wishes were, and what feelings he had for his biological and adopted children. In this book, the myths about his sexual preferences are radically shattered, the causes of his failed relationship with Rocío Dúrcal are revealed, as well as which show business personalities hurt Juan Gabriel. This book portrays in great detail the man away from the stage to bring us closer to the human being burdened by the harshness of his childhood and the ever-threatening presence of depression; it also gives us the opportunity to understand the vain, explosive, seductive Juan Gabriel, the star who loved his country as passionately as he loved his fans." -- Translation provided by NLS
