  Powerlifting is a strength sport that focuses on three core lifts: the squat, bench press, and deadlift. These exercises form the foundation of powerlifting and test an athlete's maximal strength in a single, controlled repetition. Unlike bodybuilding, which emphasizes aesthetics, powerlifting prioritizes pure strength and the ability to lift as much weight as possible in each of the three lifts. 
  The origins of powerlifting date back to the mid-20th century, evolving from earlier strength competitions and "odd lift" contests. It was officially recognized as a sport in the 1970s, with the establishment of the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF). Over the decades, powerlifting has grown significantly, attracting athletes from various backgrounds who are united by their pursuit of raw power. 
  Powerlifting offers a range of benefits that extend beyond the competition platform. It is an excellent way to build muscle mass, improve bone density, and enhance overall physical resilience. The structured nature of powerlifting training fosters discipline and goal-setting, while the supportive community surrounding the sport often inspires camaraderie and mutual encouragement.

  Discover what the Bible says about participating, competing, and enjoying sports. Millions of us love sports—playing, supporting, watching. But have you ever thought about how your love for sports connects with your love for Jesus?  Some of us feel a bit guilty for loving sports so much, especially when there are so many other ways in which we could be using our time to serve God. Others see it simply as a great way to share the gospel (while having fun). And many of us have never really thought about it at all!  This book will show you what the Bible says. You’ll discover a more liberating approach than feeling a bit guilty, a deeper approach than seeing sports as only an evangelistic opportunity, and a better approach than not linking your faith and your love of sports at all.  Starting with asking why God created sports in the first place, Spiritual Game Plan explores how the gospel impacts and transforms the way we think and play. You'll discover how to enjoy sports even more as you let God shape your perspective, and you'll see how he can use your sports to grow and shape you as his follower.  Includes lots of stories from elite to everyday athletes, as well as chapters on specific topics such as sports on Sundays. In addition to teaching for athletes, there is advice for parents, coaches, and fans.  This is a great gift for Christians who love sports.

  ‘A seven-year old girl on a seventy-foot yacht, for ten years, over fifty thousand miles of sailing’ SIMON WINCHESTER 
  ‘A seven-year old girl on a seventy-foot yacht, for ten years, over fifty thousand miles of sailing … a fantastic story of a truly Odyssean journey across all the world’s great oceans – but is also the inspiring story of the developing of a restless and inquiring mind’ SIMON WINCHESTER

  Aged just seven, Suzanne Heywood set sail with her parents and brother on a three-year voyage around the world. What followed turned instead into a decade-long way of life, through storms, shipwrecks, reefs and isolation, with little formal schooling. No one else knew where they were most of the time and no state showed any interest in what was happening to the children. 
  Suzanne fought her parents, longing to return to England and to education and stability. This memoir covers her astonishing upbringing, a survival story of a child deprived of safety, friendships, schooling and occasionally drinking water… At seventeen Suzanne earned an interview at Oxford University and returned to the UK. 
  From the bestselling author of What Does Jeremy Think?, Wavewalker is the incredible true story of how the adventure of a lifetime became one child’s worst nightmare – and how her determination to educate herself enabled her to escape
