“Why is it that sports seem to bring out the best and the worst in us?” asks author C. J. Mahaney. “Sports are a gift from God. But as soon as you introduce the human heart, things get complicated.” For the Christian athlete, sports are one of the key battlegrounds in which pride and self-glory are regular temptations. If sports are indeed a gift from God, why are playing fields and courts so often arenas for our egos? How are we to enjoy sports in a godly way? Self-described “pastor athlete” C. J. Mahaney looks to Scripture for principles that speak to the role of sports in our lives. This booklet outlines how Christian athletes are to play for the glory of God and model gratitude, humility, and service. With candor and humor, Mahaney recounts his own story with sports and through illustrations and practical applications exhorts athletes not to waste their sports. The booklet concludes with application questions and an addendum to parents. A great gift for Christian athletes, these booklets are also sold in packs of twelve.

So when local English teacher Carissa Melody Wayne is asked to appear on the weight-loss reality show Losing to Win, she agrees. She doesn't realize that others from her past will be joining her, including her high school nemesis, an acquaintance who's been nursing a long-time crush on her--and most shocking of all, Carissa's ex-fiancé, former NFL star Malachi Knight. As Carissa's group is split into pairs to compete in a series of challenges, she finds herself at the mercy of the chaotic Hollywood crew and cast members, and her own unfinished business.

"According to a recent Harris Poll concussion rates for children under age 19 who play tackle football have doubled over the last decade, most occurring during practices. Anthony Davis had the equivalent brain of an eighty-five-year-old man. And yet he was only 55 years old when he met Dr Amen. How do you suppose a former professional football and superstar college player might acquire such extreme damage to his brain? Head injuries, concussions, traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE are all part of the answer. Through his diligent efforts, Anthony Davis has rehabbed his brain working one on one with Dr. Amen and his team. His pioneering, selfless efforts with the issues of brain trauma,and in particular, the effects of concussions in his professional football career, has moved the subject of Football Concussions out of the dark corners of afflicted athletes and their fearful, angry and confused families into the very center of American debate. Davis' most memorable performance was also one of the most impressive single-game football performances ever recorded, scoring six touchdowns (four rushing, two on kick returns) in a single game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in 1972. This book will shock you , educate you and share a little about the sport industry as a whole. Most of all it will inspire you to spread the word and talk more about this important problem in our sporting events"--Amazon.com.
