Folding laundry. Weeding the garden. Cooking dinner. Changing diapers. Work in the home can seem so ordinary. Does any of it matter? Is there meaning in our most mundane moments at home? When the work of the home fills our days, it is easy to get disillusioned and miss God's grand purpose for our work. As image bearers of the Creator who made us to work, we contribute to society, bringing order out of chaos and loving God through loving others—meaning there's glory in every moment. In this encouraging book, Courtney Reissig combats the common misconceptions about the value of at-home work—helping us see how Christ infuses purpose into every facet of the ordinary.

This first oral history of living Medal of Honor winners evokes Flags of Our Fathers with stirring accounts of patriotic valor. This New York Times best-selling account of battlefield courage celebrates the larger-than-life sacrifices of those awarded the nation's highest honor for valor in combat. Exclusive interviews with these twenty-four men—firsthand accounts of battlefield sacrifice from the greatest generation to Vietnam, along with before-and-after stories—form the core of this classic work. The recipients, as portrayed here, represent a cross-section as diverse as America itself—officers and enlisted men; African Americans, Hispanics, and Caucasians; men who went on to become famous (Daniel Inouye, James Stockdale, Bob Kerrey) and others who returned proudly to small towns. Beyond Glory, in the voices of these heroes, is a testament to the courage of the American nation.

On Mar. 18, 1960, Gildford High School defeated Holy Rosary to win the Montana State Class C basketball championship. Exactly one year later, Rosary turned the tables, this time upending local-rival Belgrade for the same crown. In Two Moments of Glory, author Frank Spragg offers us not only the history leading to these two championships; he paints a portrait of small towns everywhere, with their public and parochial schools, goofy old gyms, ego clashes and political struggles. Grounded in meticulous research and extensive interviews, these pages contain far more than a recap of games and tournaments, of offenses and defenses, of stars and strategy. They tell a very human story of the camaraderie, rivalry and enduring legacy that high school sports programs bestow on all involved. Two Moments of Glory will keep you riveted from beginning to end.

A woman faces danger on the high seas of another planet—and a mystery that will change her world—in this adventure by the bestselling author of Startide Rising. On Planet Stratos, clans of genetically identical females dominate society. Natural conceptions are permitted, but only in summertime. Girls born this way—known for their despised uniqueness as ‘vars’—must leave their clan homes to pursue their own distinct and hazardous fortunes in this world owned by clones. That time has come for Maia and her sister, Leie, but as variants, they have limited prospects. Worse, when the sisters do find work on trading vessels, Leie is lost at sea. And hence, Maia’s arduous journey commences, accompanied by rumors that something . . . someone . . . has arrived from across the stars, perhaps ending the isolation of Stratos from the rest of humanity. Who would predict that a lonely var might stumble into a powerful secret? One that will challenge everything Maia knows about her society—and threatens the scientifically-engineered balance that holds it all together. “One of the most important SF novels of the year.” —The Washington Post Book World “A rousing adventure story . . . brimming with surprises both wonderful and harrowing.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune “Glory Season offers thrills, chills, political intrigue, and other good scientifictional fun, along with yet another round in the battle of the sexes.” —Locus “Brin’s prose echoes the influence of Asimov, Frank Herbert, and Aldous Huxley. . . . His world is so painstakingly drawn and is splashed with such radiant and varied hues.” —The Christian Science Monitor

This story started with me clearing my head and trying to get closer to God. Every page I wrote was one step closer. Throughout my writing this, my eyes were opened. ItaEUR(tm)s the most amazing thing that IaEUR(tm)d ever witnessed. Now you all can be witnesses too. This story is about finding God and understanding life, the world we live in, and all the struggles we endure along the way. IaEUR(tm)ve used myself as an example because God literally made an example out of me. This book is an inspiration for how we can get it right. I have to admit I was wrong about a lot of things. But speaking the truth and pouring my heart out in trying desperately to save another from making the same mistakes I did were the best decisions I ever made. Why didnaEUR(tm)t anybody ever warn me? And if they did, why didnaEUR(tm)t I listen? I lived all my life so far, ignoring everyoneaEUR(tm)s advice and guidance, until he advised me on his guidance. And just like that, everything changed! Everything made sense. Finally, I understood what oneaEUR(tm)s purpose of existence is. I can assure you, it wasnaEUR(tm)t what I was using my life for at the time. I grew up in all the wrong ways, yet somehow I was still able to grow. This story will make you think, and at the same time, it will blow your mind! This is one of the hardest things I ever had to do in my life. This book is very real. Nothing is fake about it. Maybe this book wonaEUR(tm)t save your life. Maybe it was just supposed to save mine. Maybe this is just supposed to lead you in the right direction to the greatest story of all time. What, did you expect me to be able to compete with a story like that? Well, I tried. By the time you have finished this, keep in mind that only God can judge me. At the very least, you canaEUR(tm)t sit there and still tell me you deny his presence.

Fitba (football, soccer) is truly the world's game. It evokes the deepest emotions in the millions who play and watch it in almost every corner and culture around our globe. So where does this passion come from? Some of it is certainly inherent in genes, especially in respect of playing ability. However millions who have never played at any serious level are amongst the most fanatical of all. Like most addictions it is something formed by steady consumption over a prolonged period. Alcohol, nicotine and cocaine have much more obvious routes to our bloodstream but I firmly believe that soccer can get there too. It can ultimately provide such an overwhelming sensation of joy that the brain craves repetition of that euphoria, even if it may have to wait thirty years or more between very brief highs. Here's a true life story which provides a detailed insight into the environment and twists of fate which contrive to addict one Scottish boy and sustain that addiction even when he moves to America. They have soccer in America? Oh yeah, more than you can imagine.
