Book Synopsis Small Miracles by : A. C. "Pete" Peters
Download or read book Small Miracles written by A. C. "Pete" Peters and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-06 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Christian hasn't questioned their faith in God at some point during their lives? Most people accept their faith blindly as children due to parental influence, and "Pete" Peters was no exception. An automobile accident at age sixteen changed everything. Peters was speeding in a hilly area when his 1951 Ford convertible careened off a steep cliff and crashed one hundred feet below, causing his younger brother David to suffer fatal injuries. And so began Peters' first question: "How can there be a God that allows innocent people to suffer and die for no reason?" In later years, he witnessed family trauma, senseless war, famine, two divorces, and other atrocities. From his point of view, there was no God to care. A self-proclaimed intellectual atheist, Peters still read about and discussed faith, and over the years devoted much thought as to why he felt God logically could not exist. After many "small miracles" eventually occur in his life, Peters finally realizes that faith is a gift that is only given to those ready to accept it. Peters tells his story in such a compelling and personal way that he will help anyone who is spiritually confused find their way back to God.

Everybody can take steps to protect themselves and their families. The nightmare is another 1918-style flu that is both highly contagious and highly lethal. It could kill tens of millions of people around the globe. Ordinary, seasonal flu kills from 20,000 to 40,000 Americans per year, and an unknown number of people in other countries. Swine flu has already mutated into forms resistant to both vaccines and Tamiflu. BEAT THE FLU is a comprehensive guide to build your immune system to prevent and, if necessary, treat the flu.

"I have seen books selling at twice the price that don't even have half the information." -- Clint Fountain "I have studied alternative health for many years... and still I found many nuggets of smart advice I hadn't thought of, forgotten, or flat out didn't know before I went through your flu book.

Download or read book The Water Boy written by Bob Ackles and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-01-20 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1953, Bobby Ackles became the first water boy in the BC Lions Football Club. Today he is the team’s President and CEO. His star rose quickly from the very beginning, taking him from the sidelines to the top job and three Grey Cup championships. An integral member of the Lions’ organization for over 50 years, Bobby Ackles has seen and done it all in the extraordinary world of professional football. Not only did he go from lowly Water Boy to the executive suite in the CFL, Ackles also spent fifteen years in the NFL--six seasons with the mighty Dallas Cowboys, and then on to the Arizona Cardinals, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Miami Dolphins—and he even served a brief stint in the short-lived XFL as Vice President and General Manager of the Las Vegas Outlaws. As the only man to hold executive positions in all three professional leagues, Ackles offers up a unique perspective on pro football in North America. The Water Boy is Bob Ackles’ engaging memoir, a candid, personal account of his life and his amazing career in the game of football. From his humble beginnings, personally and professionally, Ackles has risen to become one of the most respected executives in football and in sports in general, both in Canada and the United States. With veteran journalist Ian Mulgrew, Ackles shares his rich, expansive life openly, with humour and amazing insights into the sport of football and its personalities, his long-running love affair with his wife Kay, his grasp on leadership and running a successful business. The Water Boy is a fascinating look inside the locker rooms and the owners’ boxes of the football world in North America, and an engaging telling of a life lived to its fullest.

Download or read book The Smart Money written by Michael Konik and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-11-14 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting inside look at the lucrative world of professional high-stakes sports betting by a journalist who lived a secret life as a key operative in the world's most successful sports gambling ring. When journalist Michael Konik landed an interview with Rick "Big Daddy" Matthews, the largest bet he'd placed on a sporting event was $200. Konik, an expert blackjack and poker player, was no stranger to Vegas. But Matthews was in a different league: the man was rumored to be the world's smartest sports bettor, the mastermind behind "the Brain Trust," a shadowy group of gamblers known for their expertise in beating the Vegas line. Konik had heard the word on the street -- that Matthews was a snake, a conniver who would do anything to gain an edge. But he was also brilliant, cunning, and charming. And when he asked Konik if he'd like to "make a little money" during the football season, the writer found himself seduced . . . So began Michael Konik's wild ride as an operative of the elite Brain Trust. In The Smart Money, Konik takes readers behind the veil of secrecy shrouding the most successful sports betting operation in America, bypassing the myths and the rumors, going all the way to its innermost sanctum. He reveals how they -- and he -- got rich by beating the Vegas lines and, ultimately, the multimillion-dollar offshore betting circuit. He details the excesses and the betrayals, the horse-trading and the paranoia, that are the perks and perils of a lifestyle in which staking inordinate sums of money on the outcome of a single event -- sometimes as much as $1 million on a football game -- is a normal part of doing business.

Book Synopsis Out of the Pocket by : Kirk Herbstreit
Download or read book Out of the Pocket written by Kirk Herbstreit and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerfully intimate, plain-spoken memoir about fathers and sons, fortitude, and football from the face and voice of college football—Kirk Herbstreit—is not just “a window into the game, but also a peek into what makes him special: his heart” (David Shaw, head coach, Stanford University). Kirk Herbstreit is a reflection of the sport he loves, a reflection of his football-crazed home state of Ohio, where he was a high school star and Ohio State captain, and a reflection of another Ohio State football captain thirty-two years earlier: his dad Jim, who battled Alzheimer’s disease until his death in 2016. In Out of the Pocket, Herbstreit does what his father did for him: takes you inside the locker rooms, to the practice fields, to the meeting rooms, to the stadiums. Herbstreit describes how a combination of hard work, perseverance, and a little luck landed him on the set of ESPN’s iconic College GameDay show, surrounded by tens of thousands of fans who treat their Saturdays like a football Mardi Gras. He takes you into the television production meetings, on to the GameDay set, and into the broadcast booth. You’ll live his life during a football season, see the things he sees, experience every chaotic twist and turn as the year unfolds. Not to mention the relationships he’s established and the insights he’s learned from the likes of coaches and players such as Nick Saban, Tim Tebow, Dabo Swinney, and Peyton Manning, as well as his colleagues, including Chris Fowler, Rece Davis, and his “second dad,” the beloved Coach Lee Corso. Yes, Kirk Herbstreit is the undeniable face and voice of college football—but he’s also a survivor. He’s the quiet kid who withstood the collapse of his parents’ marriage. The boy who endured too many overbearing stepdads and stepmoms. The painfully shy student who always chose the last desk in the last row of the classroom. The young man who persevered through a frustrating Ohio State playing career. The new college graduate who turned down a lucrative sales job after college to pursue a “no way you’ll make it” dream career in broadcasting. Inspiring and powerful, Out of the Pocket “proves the importance of perseverance and family” (Peyton Manning).
