  Fish Tales – Devotional Angles for Anglers is a fun-loving, almost fantasical, yet entirely true collection of stories about a father and his son’s fishing adventures in the son’s growing up years. Presented with a very entertaining, devotional “spin,” these stories will make you laugh, maybe cry, and even feel a slight degree of trepidation and suspense as you “make it back to shore safely!” 
  You will humor the fact that this book is not a “how-to” be a great fisherman! In fact, it could be a “how-NOT-to” guide to fishing fame! But it is ‘breaming’ (pun intended) with hilarious and hazardous fish stories that will tickle your funny bone! OR make you “nervous as a house cat in a room full of rocking chairs” when you get caught in severe storms and lose complete control of the boat motor! 
  Most notably, you will hear the truth of Scripture as the Word of God speaks to your heart about important, everyday life lessons! The Bible is filled with fishing stories, not least among them, the invitation to become “fishers of men!” This book will hone your skills for sharing your love of Christ with others! 
  “Wayne’s witty way of telling fish tales is masterful and amusing! His ‘tales’ have enlightened me to the fact that fish are under God’s constant and direct leading, reminding me so much of my own personal experiences. Digging for red wiggler worms or netting minnows and crayfish for bait are familiar to rural North Carolina fishing. These tales describe a successful day not by the number of fish in the cooler but by the heartfelt memories of time spent with family and friends. 
  Thank you, Wayne, for these stories! I pray they will be as much a blessing to others as they are to me! I celebrate with you Christ’s invitation to, ‘Follow me and I will make you FISHERS OF MEN’” (Mt. 4:19). – Joseph Stephen Balazsi II, Long-Time friend and Vice President of Carolina Fishers of Men Inshore Trail

  Great Horse Racing Mysteries digs beneath the surface of some of the sport's most intriguing cases, including the death by poisoning of the great Australian champion Phar Lap; the shooting of William Woodward by his wife Ann, owners of the great horse Nashua; the disqualification of 1960 Derby winner Dancer's Image (was he drugged?); the theft and disappearance in 1983 of Shergar, Europe's best-known racehorse and stallion; and the scandalous financial collapse of Calumet Farm after the death by euthanasia of Alydar, one of the world's most successful sires. John McEvoy researched several unsolved mysteries of the racing world—murder . . . suicide . . . arson . . . fraud—and recounts some of horse racing's strangest, most fascinating tales. 
   
   
   
  In this updated edition, veteran turf writer Lenny Shulman adds to the intrigue by exploring the mysterious death of the troubled jockey Chris Antley, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness aboard Charismatic, and Big Brown's stunning collapse in the Belmont after cruising to win in the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

  Lift for Life - The No-Nonsense...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. You don't need to live at the gym, spend a fortune on supplements, or follow a celebrity's impossibly complex program to build real strength. You just need the right plan, the right mindset, and the will to start. 
   
  Lift for Life is the beginner's guide to strength training that cuts through the noise and gives you exactly what you need: clear instruction, simple programming, and the motivation to keep going long after the excitement of day one fades. 
   
  Most people who try to get into strength training quit within the first few weeks. Not because they lack willpower, but because nobody ever showed them the fundamentals. They walk into a gym, feel overwhelmed, perform exercises with poor form, and either hurt themselves or feel embarrassed into giving up. This book is the antidote to all of that. 
   
  You'll start by understanding why strength training is one of the most powerful investments you can make in your health—not just for aesthetics, but for longevity, bone density, metabolic health, mental clarity, and daily energy. The science is clear: people who regularly engage in resistance training live longer, move better, and age more gracefully than those who don't. 
   
  From there, you'll learn how to move safely and confidently. This book walks you through the six foundational movement patterns—squat, hinge, push, pull, carry, and brace—that form the basis of every effective strength program. You'll understand not just what to do, but why each movement matters and how to execute it with good technique from your very first session. 
   
  Then you'll get the programming. A full 12-week beginner program is laid out session by session, with clear guidance on sets, reps, rest periods, and how to progressively add weight over time. Whether you have access to a full gym, just a barbell and some plates, or even a pair of dumbbells at home, there's a version of this plan for you.

  Running Through the Dark - The...

  Jen Scotney

  Ultrarunner Jen Scotney has achieved podium finishes in some of the UK’s toughest races and now has her sights firmly set on the Pennine Way. In Running Through the Dark, Jen talks about her ambitions, not just to run the 268-mile Pennine Way but to take the record as the fastest woman to do so. But that didn’t happen. Nothing went according to plan. The Jen the world knew was a successful lawyer and running coach – all photoshoots and finish-line smiles – but the truth was much darker. The real Jen Scotney, the one she hid from everybody, suffered with chronic fatigue, debilitating injuries, tragedy, grief and at times had a will so beaten down by setbacks that there just didn’t seem any point in going on. 
   
  But she did go on. Running Through the Dark is Jen’s account of her ultra-journey. Playing out on the moors of the Pennines, the fells of the Lake District and the mountains of Wales and Scotland, this is much more than a running book, it is a story about resilience, about never giving up, and about battling through the night and always believing that there will be a new dawn.

  'The Beautiful Game, as Seen from My Angle' by Carlos Murcia is a personal journey through a lifelong passion for soccer. From the streets of El Salvador to stadiums in the United States, Carlos shares how the sport shaped his childhood, connecting him with family, friends, and his cultural roots. His early experiences playing barefoot in neighborhood games capture the joy and freedom soccer brought to his life. 
   
  As he grows, Carlos reflects on the evolution of his fandom, from watching matches with his grandfather to discovering iconic players and joining the global community of FC Barcelona supporters. He recounts pivotal moments, including the excitement of witnessing Lionel Messi's debut and following the rise of Inter Miami, a team that became central to his experience of soccer in America. Soccer becomes more than a game; it is a lens through which he understands loyalty, connection, and personal identity. 
   
  The book also explores the challenges of passion, including conflicts with friends, the intensity of rivalry, and the lessons learned in balancing devotion with life outside the sport. The Beautiful Game, as Seen from My Angle celebrates soccer's power to inspire, teach resilience, and foster meaningful connections. It is both a memoir and a reflection on how one sport can shape a lifetime.
