Book excerpt: Ask most of the millions of pre-teen soccer-playing girls in America if they plan to make the U.S. Women's National Team someday and the answer for them - and most of their parents - will be a resounding "Yes!" Among the most successful international teams in any sport in the past three decades, the USNWT has emerged as a collective cultural icon, with its individual members redrafting the very definition of female across the globe. With the lines blurring between male and female behavior, girls are competing ferociously and celebrating wildly without apology. Women are demanding gender and racial equity, while dressing and speaking authentically, and loving however and whomever they choose. The reality is that making the National Team is about as likely as winning the lottery. Of the tens of millions of soccer players since the team was formed in 1985, fewer than 250 women have ever made it to the highest level as of 2020. In Raising Tomorrow's Champions, one of those players, 16-year professional Joanna Lohman, joins current soccer dad and 40-year journalist Paul Tukey to share the team members' stories, from the early pioneers like Michelle Akers, Brandi Chastain and Mia Hamm, who are now parents themselves, to modern-day household names like Abby Wambach, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe. For a true picture of what makes these women champions, Joanna and Paul also talked to their parents, coaches and teammates. The result of this unprecedented access to the National Team is an intimately revealing portrait of what it takes to make it to the top, not just in soccer, but in life. Not every child will make the most elite team, but the choices they - and their families - make in the face of challenge and adversity may define their childhood, their high school experiences, their college options, and their path forward in life. Not every child will necessarily even play soccer, but the lessons shared within Raising Tomorrow's Champions can help him or her become accomplished, authentic, and satisfied adults no matter what path they choose.

Book excerpt: A deeply personal exploration of fatherhood, addiction, and resiliency from Craig Melvin, news anchor of NBC’s Today show. For Craig Melvin this book is more an investigation than a memoir. It's an opportunity to better understand his father; to interrogate his family's legacy of addiction and despair but also transformation and redemption; and to explore the challenges facing all dads--including Craig himself, a father of two young children. Growing up in Columbia, South Carolina, Craig had a fraught relationship with his father. Lawrence Melvin was a distant, often absent parent due to his drinking as well as his job working the graveyard shift at a postal facility. Watching sports and tinkering on Lawrence's beloved (but unreliable) 1973 Pontiac LeMans were two ways father and son connected, but as Lawrence's drinking spiraled out of control, their bond was stretched to the breaking point. Fortunately, Craig had a loving, fiercely protective mother who held the family together. He also had a series of surrogate father figures in his life--uncles, teachers, workplace mentors--who by their examples helped him figure out the kind of person and father he wanted to be. Pops is the story of all these men--and of the inspiring fathers Craig has met reporting his "Dads Got This Series" on the Today show. Pops is also the story of Craig and Lawrence Melvin's long journey to reconciliation and understanding, and of how all these experiences and encounters have informed Craig's understanding of his own role as a dad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern day youth sports environment has taken the enjoyment out of athletics for our children. Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 13, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution. John O’Sullivan shares the secrets of the coaches and parents who have not only raised elite athletes, but have done so by creating an environment that promotes positive core values and teaches life lessons instead of focusing on wins and losses, scholarships, and professional aspirations. Changing the Game gives adults a new paradigm and a game plan for raising happy, high performing children, and provides a national call to action to return youth sports to our kids.

Kids are constantly changing and how we parent them must change, too. But how do we stay close as a family as our lives move apart?

Consider this your parenting lifeline: an easy-to-use manual that offers support and perspective. Grown and Flown is required reading for anyone looking to raise an adult with whom you have an enduring, profound connection.

Book excerpt: Pelé—legendary footballer and humanitarian—explores the sport’s recent history and shares his most inspiring experiences, heartwarming stories, and hard-won wisdom. “I know in my heart that soccer was good to me, and great to the world....I saw, time and again, how the sport improved countless millions of lives, both on and off the field. For me, at least, that’s why soccer matters.” The world’s most popular sport goes by many names—soccer, football, the beautiful game—but fans have always agreed on one thing: The greatest player of all time was Pelé. Before Messi, before Ronaldo, before Beckham, Pelé had a stunning twenty-year career, where he was heralded as an international treasure. His accomplishments on the field proved to be pure magic: an unprecedented three World Cup championships and the all-time scoring record, with 1,283 goals. Since retiring, he has traveled the world as soccer’s global ambassador, relentlessly promoting the positive ways soccer can transform young men and women, struggling communities, even entire nations. This is Pelé’s legacy, his way of passing on everything he’s learned and inspiring a new generation. In Why Soccer Matters, Pelé details his ambitious goals for the future of the sport and, by extension, the world.

Book excerpt: In today's complicated world, it is really important to identify the truth, especially when facing challenges. As God's children, it's our responsibility to steer our loved ones toward what truly matters, guided by biblical wisdom. Imagine a world where everyone understands that following God's teachings leads to a fulfilling life. Emulating Jesus by adhering to the Holy Spirit and God's principles brings joy. Since Jesus came into my life, I discovered the key to joy. True joy goes beyond happiness; it stays with us even during tough times. Happiness depends on external things and is temporary, but joy lasts because it comes from having God in our hearts. When we seek God every day, we find contentment. Seeing God's impact during uncertain times and understanding the future He has for us brings us joy. My book, Do You Know for Sure if God the Father Has Your Back?, shares my life-changing encounter with Christ and how it can impact others. It explores faith, kindness, love, and discovering purpose through believing in Christ. It serves as a testament, highlighting the greatness of our God and affirming His faithfulness during tough times. It highlights that God is with us, showing us the way and leading us into His light through His Word, love, and grace. This is true for anyone who is seeking Him. Often, society tells us that pursuing wealth and fame is paramount. However, life's path determines our destination. Psalm 1 reminds us that following Christ's way is vital to avoid going astray. Jesus's words in Matthew 7:24-25 emphasize the importance of building our foundation on solid ground. What we allow into our lives shapes our output. This book extends an invitation to embrace God's love and discover purpose and tranquility through faith. God the Father Has Your Back is more than a book; it's a heartfelt message for those seeking a meaningful life.

Book excerpt: Lucifer’s Game is a tour de force first novel that will capture the hearts of followers of Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and other popular voices in the growing mainstream fields of spiritual enlightenment and Shadow work. Provocative, witty, humorous and fascinating, it reads like a cross between a metaphysical parable, a touching romance, and a self-help bestseller. Think The Celestine Prophecy sits down at My Dinner with Andre and converses with Debbie Ford’s The Dark Side of the Light Chasers. With dazzlingly literary finesse, Will Schneider takes readers on an intriguing journey into the unknowable depths of human nature and the universal quest to understand the BIG QUESTIONS: Is this level of our consciousness all there is? Can we learn to step outside the illusion of our reality and find wholeness? Can we transcend our “dark” side to find the light? The story unfolds on one of the exotic tropical islands of Hawaii, where the Jackson Trent has come to heal his heart after losing a loved one. As the writer of a popular blog on self-improvement, he believes he understands human nature, including his own failings. His respite trip is interrupted by the appearance of a mysterious stranger who walks with a ‘shuffle, shuffle, dip of the neck.’ It’s Lucifer, Prince of Darkness himself, who makes a personal appearance on earth from time to time to update himself on humanity—and today he’s chosen Jackson. Though wary, Jackson’s curiosity pushes him to agree to spend the day with Lucifer, debating and exchanging views about human nature and the possibility of enlightenment. Lucifer challenges Jackson to understand that humans live unconsciously and are caught in his web, “playing his game,” as he is the Keeper of the Shadowlings, all the negative forces like hatred, envy, and greed that we deny in ourselves and push into the basement of our minds. Jackson defends humanity, but Lucifer shows him the depths of human failings, even tricking Jackson into giving into some of his own. Sucked into Lucifer’s game, Jackson gets played until he recognizes the manipulation. The stakes grow serious—and it’s either Lucifer or Jackson who must win the Faustian bet. Full of plot twists, the ending bends the mind. Lucifer’s Game offers enlightenment seekers at every level a new perspective of consciousness to understand ourselves more deeply and reach for higher levels of wholeness.

Book excerpt: Like James Ellroy's, My Dark Places, Down City is a gripping narrative built of memory and reportage, and Leah Carroll's portrait of Rhode Island is sure to take a place next Mary Karr's portrayal of her childhood in East Texas and David Simon's gritty Baltimore. Leah Carroll's mother, a gifted amateur photographer, was murdered by two drug dealers with Mafia connections when Leah was four years old. Her father, a charming alcoholic who hurtled between depression and mania, was dead by the time she was eighteen. Why did her mother have to die? Why did the man who killed her receive such a light sentence? What darkness did Leah inherit from her parents? Leah was left to put together her own future and, now in her memoir, she explores the mystery of her parents' lives, through interviews, photos, and police records. Down City is a raw, wrenching memoir of a broken family and an indelible portrait of Rhode Island- a tiny state where the ghosts of mafia kingpins live alongside the feisty, stubborn people working hard just to get by. Heartbreaking, and mesmerizing, it's the story of a resilient young woman's determination to discover the truth about a mother she never knew and the deeply troubled father who raised her-a man who was, Leah writes, "both my greatest champion and biggest obstacle."

Ruined by an addiction to gambling, he lost his job, his career, his partner and all his money. Now he has written his story – as Kelly puts it, to “invite the public, my family and my friends into my secret hell of racism, despair, depression, stardom, gambling addiction and ultimately self-destruction”. Red Card is a tragic yet uplifting story of a sportsman’s battle with his demons, on and off the pitch.

While most teenagers spend the summer of their eighteenth year getting ready for college, Carlos is spending it competing against the world in his favorite sport, soccer. Carlos is on the United States under 20 mens national team, and he and his teammates are competing in the FIFA Under 20 World Cup. For Carlos and his teammates this is only the first step to achieving their dream of representing the U.S. in the World Cup. Their dream is shared by their opponents of this tournament but unlike Carlos and his teammates, most of those players will one day carry the hopes and dreams of their entire country when they play in the World Cup. Also unlike their opponents, the American team is criticized for being inexperienced and accused of having non-citizens as players. Carlos and his teammates must now overcome their critics, and play their best to show the World what American soccer has in store for the future, and hope that those back home will one day have The Golden Dream that they and the rest of the World all share.
