  A sport-loving college freshman, Kerry Hellmuth commits instantly to riding in the first women's Little 500 race at her first dorm floor meeting. Only later does she learn what the Little 500 is--a bicycle race around a cinder track pitting dorm teams against independents and sororities--and how much riding in the historic first edition of the race will enrich her college experience. Led by two RAs, Hellmuth and her dorm team of motivated and scrappy athletes begin training indoors and on long rides through the beautiful rolling hills of South Central Indiana, sometimes so intensely that they lose their lunch or finish in tears. Along the way, they come of age together, navigating the passage from their respective family lives into adulthood. Hellmuth finds herself and she even finds love with a handsome teammate. Willkie Sprint is the inspiring true story of that year of wonder and challenge. 
  The team's plucky freshman dream of glory despite the sense that no one can beat the upper-class(wo)men from the sorority team whose historic attempt to qualify for the men's event helped bring the women's edition into existence. The closer they become, the better the teammates perform on their bikes. Will the rag-tag Willkie underdogs pull off the Cinderella story? You will love witnessing the unbreakable bonds that emerge between these richly painted team members, be entertained by their lively discussions as they pedal, be awed by their dedication and perserverance, and be inspired by their triumphant approach to racing and life.  
  "With heart and humor, Kerry Hellmuth shares her cycling team's journey to victory in the inaugural Women's Little 500 ― from their kick-off meeting to their final lap. This coming-of-age memoir is a powerful story about perseverance, unbreakable friendships, falling in love, and learning who you are."―Sheryl Sandberg, former COO of Meta, and Founder of LeanIn.org/OptionB.org

  There are things we absolutely need to talk to our teens about, but what we say, how we say it, and when we say it make all the difference between them embracing truth and becoming the person God designed them to be—or driving them away. Will they listen? How will they take it? These are legitimate worries that can keep us from saying anything—or have us second-guessing everything we did say. 
   
   
   
  What to Say and How to Say It to Your Teen is your field manual to clear, compassionate communication with the son or daughter who no longer thinks you have all the answers—even though they have more questions than ever, like Why can't I have my phone in my room at night?; Why do I have to go to church?; How can God allow bad things to happen?; What can I do about the anxiety or depression I'm feeling?; Why can't I just date for fun?; Why do I have to get a job?; and Why does it matter who I hang out with? 
   
   
   
  From shifting views on gender to questioning faith to struggling with honesty or respect or porn, the teen years are tough. They're also some of the most important years for you to offer guidance. This book will help you handle thirty of the trickiest conversations you need to have with your teen.

  The Axum Empire was one of the most influential civilizations in ancient Africa, flourishing between the 4th and 7th centuries AD. It was located in what is today northern Ethiopia and parts of Eritrea, strategically positioned along the Red Sea trade routes. This placement not only allowed Axum to thrive economically but also made it a key player in global trade between Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. The kingdom of Axum’s rise to prominence marked a pivotal moment in African history, shaping the culture, economy, and politics of the region for centuries. 
  The origins of the Axum Empire are somewhat shrouded in mystery, but its establishment is often linked to the rise of the city of Axum (also spelled Aksum) around the 1st century AD. According to various historical accounts, Axum was originally a small kingdom that grew in power through trade, conquest, and political alliances. It eventually became one of the most advanced civilizations of its time, possessing advanced knowledge of agriculture, architecture, and metallurgy. 
  At its height, the Axum Empire was an extraordinary political and economic entity. The kingdom controlled an extensive territory that stretched from modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea to parts of Sudan and Arabia. Axum became a major center for trade, exporting goods such as ivory, gold, frankincense, and myrrh, while also importing luxury goods from Roman, Indian, and Arabian merchants. The city of Axum itself was known for its monumental obelisks, palaces, and sophisticated urban planning.
