Summary

Greatest Rivalries explores the captivating world of sports rivalries, diving deep into the historical, social, and psychological forces that ignite such intense competition. More than simple contests, these rivalries reflect our innate drive to compete, often pushing athletes to achieve unprecedented levels of excellence. The book analyzes how mutual antagonism can paradoxically elevate performance, shaping legacies and captivating audiences worldwide.

 
For example, regional identities, economic disparities, and political tensions all contribute to the intensity seen in clashes like Celtics vs. Lakers. The book dissects a curated selection of rivalries across diverse sports, using each as a case study to illustrate broader themes of competition, motivation, and the pursuit of excellence. It provides historical context, tracing the origins and evolution of each rivalry, including examining rule changes and shifts in team personnel.

 
By examining these rivalries, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the role of sports in society, understanding the psychology of competition and the sociological impact of team rivalries. The book progresses by laying out an analytical framework, then dedicating chapters to specific rivalries like the Federer-Nadal tennis rivalry.

    "A timely and accessible primer."--Christian Century 
     
    What if we viewed reading as not just a personal hobby or a pleasurable indulgence but also a spiritual practice that deepens our faith? 
     
    In Reading for the Love of God, award-winning author Jessica Hooten Wilson does just that--and then shows readers how to reap the spiritual benefits of reading. She argues that the simple act of reading can help us learn to pray well, love our neighbor, be contemplative, practice humility, and disentangle ourselves from contemporary idols. 
     
    This accessible and engaging guide outlines several ways Christian thinkers--including Augustine, Julian of Norwich, Frederick Douglass, and Dorothy L. Sayers--approached the act of reading. It also includes useful special features such as suggested reading lists, guided practices for approaching texts, and tips for meditating on specific texts or Bible passages. 
     
    By learning to read for the love of God, readers will discover not only a renewed love of reading but also a new, vital spiritual practice to deepen their walk with God.

    Building Boys - Raising Great...

    We want to raise well-rounded human beings—we're just not quite sure how best to do it. Confounded by rapidly changing gender norms, today's parents are attempting to raise kind, compassionate, emotionally sensitive boys in a society that simultaneously rewards stereotypical masculinity and is increasingly hostile to boys. Teaching boys to respect others will help them in the future—but can make life awfully difficult in the here and now. Making the world a safer place for women and girls is not the only reason to rethink our boy raising practices. Current culture harms our boys too—and they need (and deserve) as much support as girls and women. 
     
     
     
    Building Boys is written by an in-the-trenches #boymom who intimately understands male development and the challenges currently facing boys and their families. Fink offers ten rules that parents can use to guide their parenting choices throughout their sons' lives. These rules range from emphasizing emotional intelligence to letting your son struggle and ultimately accepting him as he is. Fink explains both the science and research behind each rule as well as stories and anecdotes from families. Parents are taught how to apply the rule to a variety of common parenting challenges. They are as applicable to boys with ADHD, autism, and learning challenges are they are to neurotypical boys.
