  • OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN Biography
    OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN Biography “I am committed and excited about educating and encouraging women to take a positive role in their breast health.” – Olivia Newton-John Born in Cambridge, England in 1948, the youngest child of Professor Brin Newton-John and Irene, daughter of Nobel Prize winning physicist, Max Born, Olivia moved to Melbourne, Australia with her family when she was five. By the age of fifteen, she had formed an all-girl group called Sol Four. Later that year she won a talent contest on the popular TV show, “Sing, Sing, Sing,” which earned her a trip to London. By 1963, Olivia was appearing on local daytime TV shows and weekly pop music programs in Australia. Olivia cut her first single for Decca Records in 1966, a version of Jackie DeShannon’s "Till You Say You’ll Be Mine." In 1971, she recorded a cover of Bob Dylan’s "If Not For You," co-produced by John Farrar, who she continues to collaborate with today. Her 1973 U.S. album debut, "Let Me Be There," produced her first top ten single of the same name, with Olivia being honored by the Academy Of Country Music as Most Promising Female Vocalist and a Grammy Award as Best Country Vocalist. This proved to be only the beginning of a very exciting career. Her countless successes include three more Grammys, numerous Country Music Awards, American Music Awards and Peoples Choice Awards, five #1 hits including “Physical,” which topped the charts for ten consecutive weeks, and 15 top 10 singles. In 1978, her co-starring role with John Travolta in “Grease” catapulted Olivia into super- stardom.

  • Cathy's Attorney Asked Me to Provide a Professional
    Dedication To those faithful ones, all over the world, who are standing courageously for Christ. Introduction hen I was a young boy, there was a TV program Wcalled Naked City. At the end of each episode, the narrator intoned: “There are 8 million stories in the naked city. This has been one of them.” While Alliance Defending Freedom may not have 8 million stories to tell since the launch of our ministry in 1994, I can look back over those years and think of a few hundred that have inspired me, and all of us on the ADF team. We’ve had the privilege of working with so many clients whose lives are testimonies to God’s grace and faithfulness. We have come to love and admire these men, women, and children for their steadfast faith in times of great personal difficulty. These courageous believers are present-day embodiments of the words of James: “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing” (James 1:2-4). This book is made up of the testimonies of individuals who took a stand for Christ when their faith was challenged – people who persevered, and emerged with their faith stronger than before. It has been an honor, a blessing, and an encouragement to serve such great men and women, and to know them as brothers and sisters in Christ who are fighting the “good fight” for the faith.
