The Lust Pigs - Don Holliday

EVERY ALLEY WAS A PASSION HANGOUT FOR- THE LUST PIGS


MIDNIGHT READER
MR 468
FIRST PRINTING 1962
U.S.A.

ALLEY TRAMPS...
Slick little chicks in sin-tight jeans and bursting sweaters came crawling for a little piece of his brand of loving. Because when Bruce led his Wild Pigs into one of their cellar-club orgies, the sneaky Pete flowed and the smoke of smoldering pot made a lust paradise out of the dingiest hole in passion town. there wasn't another stud like Bruce for miles around, and his kind of shame-fame made the sin-queens go right out of their wanton minds. The twist records on the stolen hi-fi beat out a rhythm of no-tomorrow sinning and the wail of the horns was the upbeat for Bruce's never-ending chorus of a slam-bang!
...SIN-GANG LUST!

DIGIT ROYAL R360
FIRST PRINTING - NO DATE

FIRST PUBLISHED BY ACE BOOKS, U.S.A. 1960 AS 'RUMBLE AT THE HOUSING PROJECT"

Young Larry Talos was plenty tough, but he was also a notch smarter than the other local teen-agers. That was why he wanted to stay clear of their gangs. Besides he had a girl-friend who couldn't afford to get mixed up with the Spiders-for she had been the doll of an enemy chief now doing a turn in reform school. But the Spiders wanted Larry...enough to make him a special target for all the hell they could dream up. All the same, the day he joined them was the day they all signed their own death warrants!

The Untapped Generation - David & Don Wilkerson


OLIPHANTS 055100259X
FIRST EDITION 1972
LONDON, UK
HARDBACK

David and Don Wilkerson examine the hidden problems and potential of a generation that has lost its way. During the past ten years the work of Teen Challenge as described in The Cross And The Switchblade has brought these two dedicated brothers into personal contact with hundreds of young people.
"The Untapped Generation"-alcoholics, drug addicts, homosexuals, runaways and drop-outs-can find purpose in life, and this book helps by discussing:

1. How a counsellor can prepare to help "The Untapped Generation"-qualifications, relationships and motives are dealt with.

2. What has created the problem situations, how those needing help can be guided towards a solution-involving the church in the "scene" which has, for too long, been considered unchangeable.

3. What happens when effective counselling is offered to "The Untapped Generation".
