He seemed to have it all—a beautiful family, a big house, and the celebrity that comes with being a star player in the National Football League. In the late 60s and early 70s, Danny Abramowicz was the toast of New Orleans, but as his Catholic faith faded into the background he felt alone and helpless against the temptations and expectations of fame. And so one day he called out that simple prayer: Lord, please help me! This book is about the answer to that prayer. Danny Abramowicz gives an inside view of his life in the NFL alongside the reinvigoration of his Catholic Faith and the development of a prayerful relationship with Jesus Christ. Join him on his journey from “cultural Catholic” to EWTN television host and evangelizer of Catholic men across the country. Even if you didn’t play and coach professional football with the likes of Archie Manning and Mike Ditka, you will find Danny’s down-to- earth telling of his story approachable and relatable. Most of all, Danny brings the hope of brotherhood in Christ to all men who have felt, or are now feeling, the despair of professional, personal, and spiritual failure. Our world needs courageous men of Christ to step into the breach, armed with the virtues of faith and love and hope. Learn about becoming a leader not just from Danny’s coaching experiences, but also from his work forming and sustaining men’s groups in nearly every city in which he has lived. Finally, in this book Danny presents his spiritual fitness workout—a time-tested way to build up the muscles of faith to go to spiritual battle in a hostile world.

This book recommends a sweeping redesign of the American health care system and provides overarching principles for specific direction for policymakers, health care leaders, clinicians, regulators, purchasers, and others. In this comprehensive volume the committee offers: A set of performance expectations for the 21st century health care system. A set of 10 new rules to guide patient-clinician relationships. A suggested organizing framework to better align the incentives inherent in payment and accountability with improvements in quality.

Analyzing health care organizations as complex systems, Crossing the Quality Chasm also documents the causes of the quality gap, identifies current practices that impede quality care, and explores how systems approaches can be used to implement change.

Sean Dempsey was a stand-out football player with a storied career. After only getting a "cup of coffee" in the NFL, he quickly became an excellent linebacker coach at his alma mater, St. Ignatius. His disdain for a star, but highly obnoxious, linebacker leads to an explosive career-ending scuffle. Dismissed, ...hard pressed to get another coaching position, Dempsey is in financial ruins mired with the reality of taking care of his young family. His last resort is the U.S. Army where he successfully becomes an Army sergeant, ...until he was blown up in an Afghan skirmish. Back home with PTSD, lightning strikes with a head coaching offer from an old friend which leads to the excitement of a renewed career, ...or so Dempsey thinks. Ty Douglas is an excellent, but disgruntled, quarterback who, along with his often-transferred mother, is forced to move from state-to-state. Ty's mother mistakenly rents an apartment slightly inside the border of Roosevelt High School, ...a school where no one wants to go. Crossing The Goal Line is the story of two misfits who collide to take on the ills of a socially and racially troubled, inner-city high school football team that hasn't won a game in four years. Dempsey fights off PTSD, gang wars, failing academic grades and poverty. Douglas, with the help of a befriended six-foot four, 300 pound offensive tackle, fights to lead the football team while protecting the sassy sister of one of the players.
