Before Chuck Daly arrived on the scene, the Detroit Pistons had struggled to find a place in the NBA. Beginning in 1983, Daly led the team to nine winning seasons, capped by back-to-back championship titles in 1989-90. In 1992, he was chosen to lead the original USA Dream Team in the Olympics. But this was just a fraction of Daly's amazing life. Along the way, he became known for his "Chuckisms"-phrases you heard so often you could almost say them along with him. Each one defined a lesson he had learned along the way. In Daly Wisdom, NBA leader Pat Williams has collected the best of the "Chuckisms," along with stories from those who knew and loved Chuck Daly. We offer them to you in this book in bite-sized lessons you can read and grow by-dairy. Book jacket.

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Since our personal decision-making does have consequences, we all struggle making good decisions. In reality, what we believe affects every area of our actions and lifestyle, including our decision-making process. For that reason the Bible must be the centerpiece for Christian decision-making! In our ministry, we have observed many good Christian people struggle with life due to their poor decisions. You don't have to live a life of regrets if you will just apply God's Word to your daily decision processes. The wise King Solomon recognized this problem in his own life. Therefore, early in life he sought to learn wisdom and understanding with his whole heart. Later in life, as he watched his own children grow he became burdened with their lack of wisdom. God used this burden to inspire King Solomon to write the book of Proverbs for his children's benefit. We can profit greatly if we understand and give heed to these same proverbs. After earning his BA degree from Tennessee Temple College, he furthered his training and earned a BD degree from Temple Baptist Theological Seminary in 1972. While recovering from heart surgery in 1991, he completed the requirements and received his PhD. in Biblical Studies from Emmanuel Baptist University. He was ordained at Canton Baptist Temple of Canton, Ohio in August 1972. He began his first pastorate at Lakeshore Baptist Church of Mentor, Ohio. Over the next 36 years he pastored churches in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, and Indiana. Since November of 1993, he has been the senior Pastor of Northwest Baptist Church of Indianapolis, Indiana. He and his wife Sue have four grown children.
