A successful life of victory and purpose doesn't happen by accident. It's made up of many small pieces all leading to the bigger picture, just like a puzzle. Regardless of whether someone is newly saved or has been a Christian for 50 years, many times people have all the pieces to the puzzle but don't know how to put them together. Or maybe they're missing some of the pieces so the puzzle doesn't make sense. Victorious Living is about putting all those pieces together so that people can see the whole picture of the life God has for them. One of victory in every area of life, and a life of deep relationship with God. After having met hundreds of Christians who love God but who simply had no idea that God had an answer for their struggles and issues, or that Christianity was so much more than just assurance of a place in heaven, Joanne and her husband Ralph started sharing the content of Victorious Living with others. These lessons were learned through years of struggle and crises in their own lives, marriage, finances and health. The victory they were able to achieve through the principles within this book, is now available for others to tap into. Victorious Living goes beyond just doctrinal teaching and philosophies. The teachings are broken down into easy-to-understand principles that can be plugged into everyday life, so that each person reading this book can also experience the joy of victorious living.

This political analysis of teen culture examines the historical and ideological development of American youth society, the economic and ideological relationship between television and popular music, and the ideological rivalry between Nickelodeon and Disney. More than mere entertainment, teen sitcoms and pop music portray a complex and often contradictory set of cultural discourses. They engage in a process of ideology marketing and "hip versus square" politics. Case studies include Saved by the Bell, Britney Spears, the movie School of Rock, early "pop music sitcoms" like The Monkees and The Partridge Family, and recent staples of teen culture such as iCarly and Hannah Montana. What is occurring in teen culture has a crucial bearing as today's teens age into adulthood and become the dominant generation in the impending decades.
