SynopsisFollowing in the successful wake of The Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres , The Dukes of Hazzard debuted in January 1979 and quickly became a staple of CBS-TV's Friday night lineup. With its wild mix of wacky car chases and spectacular vehicle wrecks, bumbling sheriffs, greedy politicians, and its rambunctious lead players (the Duke boys and curvaceous Daisy Duke), it's little wonder the program developed such a strong and loyal viewership. This is the first book devoted to the genesis and production of the hit program, tracing its 1970s origin through to its recent, highly-rated "reunion" movie on CBS-TV. The author conducted extensive interviews with cast and technical talent to explore this beloved show - revealing for the first time many behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the week-to-week filming of the series. In this lively and factual presentation of the long-running TV series (1979-85), no trivia point is left unanswered about the amazing clan of Dukes and their colorful nemeses Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane and Boss Hogg., Even the poorest people in America are amongst the top five percent of the wealthiest people in the world. We may not always feel rich, but we are so rich, in fact, that we have the means to alleviate suffering around the world. So why don't we? The truth is that we know we should help those less fortunate than us, and we're even commanded to do so if we're Christians, but the needs of the world are so overwhelming. Where do we start? Where can we make the most impact? This compelling, story-driven book urges Christians to open their eyes to the needs of a hurting world and then open their hearts and hands in service. It is a gripping, to-the-point challenge to readers to get involved in realistic, positive change--one life at a time. Building on more than twenty years of experience in humanitarian and relief efforts around the world, author Noel Brewer Yeatts helps readers realize just how blessed they are--and just how much they gain by giving back.
