The Day the Lion Roared

Something still felt wrong, didn't feel right, and didn't look right. The building had collapsed, and the second and third floors had fallen straight down, crushing the first floor. The strange part was that it was so even you couldn't even tell. That explained a whole lot: why the staircase was so mangled, why I couldn't get to my neighbor, why the gas lines were ruptured, and why the doors were jammed up. The apartments had collapsed onto the first floor!

"Mike Kubeisy, over the years, has captured so many electric moments only a talented veteran could, and at times, with such subtlety you don't even realize you're being photographed. He is truly one of the greats and one of my favorite photographers! Thanks, Mike!"

- Jonathan Roumie, actor on The Chosen

"Mike always goes the extra mile in capturing the right image to tell the story. He also goes above and beyond to create the right atmosphere on set. A true team player and storyteller."

- Andy Erwin, film director/producer

"Mike has that rare combination of passion and thoughtfulness, so anything he writes or photographs is going to both move you AND make you think."

- Dallas Jenkins, creator of The Chosen, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

"I have known Michael Kubeisy for many years, while we have been together on the television series NCIS. No matter what you believe concerning the hand of the Almighty or the power of naturally occurring events, this is a book you should read."

- David "Ducky" McCallum, actor on NCIS
