The Gospel According to the Beatles by Steve Turner - Publisher's Marketing: "Renowned British music journalist and author Steve Turner surveys the religious and spiritual influence of the Beatles, the band that changed the history of music forever. With new interviews, never-before-published material, and fresh insights, Turner helps the reader understand the religious and spiritual ideas and ideals that influenced the music and lives of the Beatles and helps us see how the Fab Four influenced our own lives and culture. Chapters include the religious upbringing of John, Paul, George, and Ringo; the backlash in the United States after John Lennon's ?We?re more popular than Jesus? comment; the dabbling in Eastern religion; the use of drugs to attempt to enter a higher level of consciousness; and the overall legacy that the Beatles and their music have left. While there is no religious system that permanently anchored the Beatles or their music, they did leave a gospel, Turner concludes: one of love, peace, personal freedom, and the search for transcendence."

Shout!: The Beatles in Their Generation by Philip Norman - Publisher's Marketing: "Philip Norman's biography of the Beatles is the definitive work on the world's most influential band -- a beautifully written account of their lives, their music, and their times. Now brought completely up to date, this epic tale charts the rise of four scruffy Liverpool lads from their wild, often comical early days to the astonishing heights of Beatlemania, from the chaos of Apple and the collapse of hippy idealism to the band's acrimonious split. It also describes their struggle to escape the smothering Beatles' legacy and the tragic deaths of John Lennon and George Harrison. Witty, insightful, and moving, "Shout!" is essential reading not just for Beatles fans but for anyone with an interest in pop music."

A Hard Day's Night - Summary: "In 1964, The Beatles had just recently exploded onto the American scene with their debut on The Ed Sullivan Show. The group's first feature film, A Hard Day's Night, offered fans their first peek into a day in the life of The Beatles and served to establish The Fab Four on the silver screen, as well as to inspire the music video format that has become a standard for musicians today. Now, decades later, the band's legendary popularity endures and continues to grow, and A Hard Day's Night joyfully resurrects the excitement of the group's early days."
