JUST WIN BABY: THE GAME OF LIFE

101 Game Changing Christian Devotionals for Young Athletes/Young Adults

Christian Nonfiction / Sports / History

Date Published: November 10, 2023

Publisher: WestBow Press

Just Win Baby contains 101 devotionals to help young athletes and young adults navigate life with Jesus Christ as their head coach.

Joe Bill Campbell, a successful trial attorney, former college athlete, and a Christian gives each devotional a title derived from a word, term, expression, idiom, or metaphor that comes from the sports world but is used in everyday living. Following each title are Bible verses that provide context and meaning to the titled expression.

The Bible verses are followed by a message to the young athlete and/or young adult, explaining how the term or expression plays a role in daily life. The author follows up each message with insights on how to win at the game of life with Jesus Christ leading the way. At the close of each devotional is space to write your own comments, notes, and reflections.

The bottom line is the only way to achieve victory—in this life and in the life beyond—by developing a personal relationship with your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Virtue Triumphs Vice

Christian Nonfiction / Bible Study

Date Published: September 17, 2024

Which emotion do you value the most: love or hate? Who do you respect and cherish the most: your friends or your enemies? What do you prefer to hear: the truth or lies? What means more to you: success or failure? What would you rather experience: joy or sadness? How do you see the glass of water: half full or half empty? Where do you want to spend eternity: heaven or hell? 133 million Americans go to work every day, 3.5 billion worldwide. There are more than 30 million small businesses in America. Every person, indeed, every business, has three things in common: a place to work (workplace), a culture (environment); and a CHOICE. You can choose to be virtuous or to engage in vices. Virtue Triumphs Vice uses expressions, idioms, and metaphors, supported by Christian scripture and common sense, to bring Christian values to the workplace to improve the culture. There are approximately 1.3 million violent workplace victimizations in American every year. Virtue Triumphs Vice seeks to improve the workplace environment in a manner that is not only pleasing to owners, employers, employees, but more importantly, to God.

About the Book

 

I'm just like them. I'm an elite, my brother is in with the it crowd, but I'm shunned.

Money can't buy you everything. Well, it certainly can't buy me acceptance in our world.

At Bluestone Academy, it doesn't matter that I'm a witch like the rest of them.

I'm a deadblood—a witch without power.

And I pay for my acceptance into the witching school every single day.

It doesn't end out of the doors, either.

This is my life. I'll always be one of them, and forever be shunned—by the one I've loved my whole life.

Hunted

by A. Blackbird

Genre: Dark Paranormal Romance, Red Riding Hood Retelling

About the Book

 

A Dark Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood.

The villagers call her Red.
It's the colour of her lips, her cloak, and the blood that stains her when she returns from the woods. The villagers call her Red for many reasons, but most of all, they're too afraid to call her what she really is. Witch. But when a wolf stalks the village, Red might be the only one who can save them from the beast...the beast who has his sights set on her already. Red races against the three days until the full moon to uncover the wolf's identity, find out what he wants from her, and save herself. To hell with the village, Red just wants to save herself. That's what good witches do.

A dark re-telling of the old tale, where Red Riding Hood isn't so little, and mightn't be so good after all.

Blizzy codes - perhaps one of the best parts of Jordan's life so far. Everyone could tell how proud he was of this technology as it was eventually going to affect people's lives for the better.

That's all Jordan ever wanted to do, though; to touch lives and help the people around him. This is why he designed this technology to get anyone everything they could ever think of without having to sweat for it. Yes, that was it!

Although the people saw this new technology as something spectacular, truthfully, no one understood its philosophy yet. Today was the day Jordan was going to teach the world about the essence of Blizzy codes, flaunting this new technology to the whole of New York, to the world…

With Blizzy Codes, the creator of real-life messaging technology of the same name, Michael Butler gives an in-depth explanation of what the technology does and the philosophy behind his life's work through an intricately designed fiction story.

About the Book

From the prolific, up-and-coming author, Michael Butler, comes "Black Redemption" — a story of circumstance, fate, choice, and redemption. Author showcased at the 2021 Juneteenth celebration, "Black Redemption" celebrates the resilience of the African American and Jewish spirit. Yet, despite the odds stacked against them, protagonists Trey, Maxwell, and Isaac lived, learned, and redeemed themselves despite unfortunate circumstances, despite adverse fates, despite poor choices.

Trey and Isaac are best friends with contrasting upbringings. Isaac's family builds on religiousness, peace, understanding, unity, anti-racism, and imparting the proper virtues and moral standards to their children. On the other hand, Trey's family is separated by disputes, negligence, and disunity. Yet, instead of feeling disheartened, Trey is overwhelmed with hope — a hope that things can and will get better so long as there is personal accountability. This is our world. Let's make it a better place, and we have the power to make a change by doing the next right thing. Problems become even more apparent to Trey when he reunites with his brother Maxwell under extraordinary circumstances years after leaving his tumultuous home. Yet, by taking control of their fortunes, can these young men overcome African American Racism and Antisemitism in the United States and prove that they could rise above Gun Violence and change the status quo despite the odds? *** "Black Redemption" by Michael Butler is a compelling suspense drama that serves as a commentary on the saga of our nation as it battles racism and Gun Violence against the African American and Jewish population. And that, through compassion, tolerance, and the proper gun interventions, all violence against all people can be reduced. "Black Redemption" took Ten years and countless hours of dedication to write, backed by remarkable research and development, and presented to New York City as a new initiative in an immersive virtual reality format. Today, it has seen sweeping reviews from readers and featured in the Caribbean Chamber of Commerce and many other Publications.
