  Jesus in My Corner, written by Andy Flute, chronicles his struggle to overcome a myriad of life-long challenges with violence and alcohol. For over 30 years, violence and alcohol were Andy's daily bread until, one day, by the power of prayer, he managed to achieve what no amount of alcohol or prison incarceration could ever achieve. When he was at the point of death, intoxicated with alcohol following a ten-day binging session, I went to see my old mate and prayed for him with Pastor Steve. Andy was fighting the demon of alcohol and he was on the ropes, down for the count. Andy, a former captain of the English boxing team and British Middleweight title challenger alongside sparring partner Chris Eubank and other world class fighters, knew what brutal fighting was all about. This fight was different, one he couldn't win on his own strength. Andy felt the intense grip and destructive downward spiral alcohol had on his life. Battered and bleeding, with no more strength, he cried out to Jesus. In a truly miraculous turnaround, Andy found Jesus in his corner and almost instantaneously gave up alcohol. During the bleakest of moments, he experienced a spiritual awakening. Slowly, he found his way through darkest era of his life. He came to believe a power greater than himself in Jesus. Now with Jesus in his corner, Andy is an active member of Sedgley Community Church. The Bible employs the analogy of wrestling in reference to our warfare with Satan and his hosts. Andy had a fight that only Jesus could referee, this gigantic battle played out until he was baptised in water. Andy Flute's willingness to share the most intimate aspects of his life was born out of a deep desire to help others addicted to alcohol and violence. Despite these daunting events, Andy now works hard to live a normal life and raise a family of his own. He regularly attends prison workshops and shares his testimony in local schools.

  What began that night shocked Duke Universityand Durham, North Carolina.      And it continues to captivate the nation:  the Duke lacrosse team members‘ alleged rape of an African-American stripper and the unraveling of the case against them.      In this ever-deepening American tragedy, Stuart Taylor Jr. and KC Johnson argue, law enforcement, a campaigning prosecutor, biased journalists, and left-leaning academics repeatedly refused to pursue the truth while scapegoats were made of these young men, recklessly tarnishing their lives.      The story harbors multiple dramas, including the actions of a DA running for office; the inappropriate charges that should have been apparent to academics at Duke many months ago; the local and national media, who were so slow to take account of the publicly available evidence; and the appalling reactions of law enforcement, academia, and many black leaders.Until Proven Innocent is the only book that covers all five aspects of the case (personal, legal, academic, political, and media) in a comprehensive fashion. Based on interviews with key members of the defense team, many of the unindicted lacrosse players, and Duke officials, it is also the only book to include interviews with all three of the defendants, their families, and their legal teams.            Taylor and Johnson‘s coverage of the Duke case was the earliest, most honest, and most comprehensive in the country, and here they take the idiocies and dishonesty of right- and left-wingers alike head on, shedding new light on the dangers of rogue prosecutors and police and a cultural tendency toward media-fueled travesties of justice. The context of the Duke case has vast import and contains likable heroes, unfortunate victims, and memorable villains—and in its full telling, it is captivating nonfiction with broad political, racial, and cultural relevance to our times.

  Strength and Power Training -...

  This bundle consists of the following titles: 
  - Powerlifting Prowess: 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. 
  - Strength Training for Runners: Strength training has long been overlooked by runners who often focus solely on logging miles and improving endurance. However, integrating strength training into a runner’s routine is essential for enhancing performance, building resilience, and reducing the risk of injuries. This chapter introduces the foundational concepts of strength training specifically tailored for runners, highlighting why it is a vital component of a well-rounded training program. 
  - Strength Training for Seniors: As we grow older, our bodies naturally lose muscle mass in a process known as sarcopenia. This gradual decline can affect strength, balance, and overall functionality. However, regular strength training can slow, and in some cases, even reverse these effects. By engaging in a consistent exercise routine, seniors can improve their ability to perform everyday activities such as climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or simply getting out of a chair. 
  - Strength Training Without Weights: The benefits of bodyweight training extend far beyond convenience. For one, it allows for a wide range of exercises targeting every major muscle group. By manipulating the angle, speed, and range of motion of each movement, you can create a workout that challenges your muscles in different ways, promoting growth and strength.
