  When Joel Soper placed his first “sure thing” bet at the Detroit Race Course back in 1987, he never imagined that such an innocent gesture might lead him down the path to gambling addiction. But now, after tossing millions of dollars into the bonfire of unfulfilled dreams, Joel is stepping out of the shadows to bare his soul about the realities of compulsive sports betting. 
  Never Enough Zeroes is an unflinching and searing portrayal that exposes the all-too-human foibles of a man trapped on the treadmill of obsession. Co-author Philip Wyeth captures the essence of Joel’s tortured existence by telling his unforgettable life story with compassion, humor, and literary flair. 
  The result is a memoir that will touch readers from all backgrounds as it throws a lifeline to anyone caught in the relentless undertow of addiction who also dreams of creating a better version of themselves. 
  “I’ve made millions of dollars with my silver tongue, but it always just slips through my fingers...” 
  As more states legalize gambling across the nation, Joel’s story is an especially timely warning about this scourge where losses often extend beyond money into broken relationships and mental health issues. The proliferation of live betting has the potential to turn a generation of unwitting sports fans into nothing more than rats frantically tapping their phone screens for the next dopamine rush. 
  This book is a call to action! It raises a banner of hope amid a sea of desperation, and signals the start of a new alliance which is weaving a safety net so that addicts of all stripes might never hit rock bottom again. 
  As Joel continues his difficult journey as a “work in progress,” he hopes that Never Enough Zeroes will be a worthy addition to the self-help canon, as well as a companion piece to the mental health professional’s bookshelf. 
  “If you know you’re powerless over gambling, how can you make gambling powerless over you?”

  The day your mother dies is the day you acquire a powerful and persistent new companion—grief. It is also the day you become the keeper of a legacy that has the potential to affect generations to come. Between a past you can't let go of and a future you can hardly find the energy to think about, you stand. The ground may feel shaky, but it is sacred. And it must be tread. 
   
   
   
  With vulnerability and honesty, Chelsea Ohlemiller walks you through her own journey of grief at the loss of her mother in order to help you along yours. These raw reflections on heartbreak, love, and hope in the midst of sorrow can help you put words to your own tangled feelings when you are speechless with grief. Chelsea does not couch her narrative in spiritual jargon or edit her feelings into "acceptable" sentiments that ultimately mean nothing and help no one. Instead, she invites you to be radically honest about your anger, disbelief, and sorrow so that you can move forward even if it feels like you will never be able to move on. 
   
   
   
  Whether you had a great relationship with your mother or a complicated one, you will find in this book a compassionate and understanding friend for the days, months, and years to come.

  The modern world, with its emphasis on speed and busyness and the mis-named "social" media, has not been an especially welcoming place to develop long-lasting, solid friendships that help to nurture the heart.  Providing exemplars and guidance in this challenging situation, this book on friendship looks at some of the details of the friendships of the eighteenth-century pastor-theologian Andrew Fuller to help us think about and engage in meaningful relationships that provide joy and comfort (in the older sense of that term as "strength") for the Christian journey.  This is an ideal study for anyone desirous of being a better friend, as well as for those interested in knowing something of the history of Christian friendship.

  Self-Control - The Power Within...

  Esther Jameson

  Self-control is the ability to regulate one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in pursuit of long-term goals, and it is fundamental to personal success and well-being. It involves the capacity to override impulses, manage distractions, and resist temptations that can derail progress. Understanding self-control begins with acknowledging that it is not merely a matter of sheer willpower; it is a dynamic process influenced by both internal states and external circumstances. 
  At its core, self-control is a mental muscle that can be strengthened with practice. Like physical strength, it improves gradually through repeated exercise and conscious effort. When an individual resists an immediate temptation, they are, in effect, training their brain to prioritize long-term benefits over short-term pleasure. This gradual build-up of self-regulatory strength allows people to make choices that align more closely with their values and long-term objectives, rather than succumbing to momentary desires. 
  The importance of self-control extends to various aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional endeavors. It helps maintain a balance between emotion and reason, enabling individuals to navigate stressful situations and make decisions that are both thoughtful and deliberate. High levels of self-control can contribute to improved health, enhanced productivity, and more satisfying interpersonal relationships by reducing impulsive actions that may lead to negative outcomes.
