Title: Strength of a Champion

Subtitle: Finding Faith and Fortitude Through Adversity

Author: Peter Schrager, O. J. Brigance

Narrator: Sean Crisden

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-25-13

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

As the Baltimore Ravens made their improbable march to victory in Super Bowl XLVII, they turned to their senior advisor of player development, O. J. Brigance, for inspiration each and every Sunday.

Following a stellar 12-year career as a linebacker, including a Super Bowl win with Baltimore in 2000, O. J. "Juice" Brigance joined the Ravens' front office. But in 2007, Brigance was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - also known as Lou Gehrig's disease - and told he had only three to five years to live. As a player, he'd battled hundreds of injuries and setbacks. None of them prepared him to face ALS.

With faith and determination in his heart and his wife, Chanda, praying by his side, Brigance fought back against the debilitating disease, even as ALS robbed him of the ability to walk and speak. He kept working, smiling, and touching his players' lives all the way through their remarkable Super Bowl run-more than five years after his diagnosis.

Now, Brigance shares his incredible story, offering lessons in resilience and reflecting on the championship team that inspired him in turn. Along with his own journey, Brigance recounts the struggles and successes of Ravens players, including Ray Lewis, Joe Flacco, and Torrey Smith, as well as the strength of head coach John Harbaugh. Having watched their season from the best seat in the house, Brigance highlights their perseverance, confidence, and leadership, and the best that sports can bring out in people.

Full of profound revelations and never-before-told anecdotes, Strength of a Champion is a celebration of the human spirit from a man who left everything on the field. O. J. Brigance never asked to be a hero. That's what makes his story so courageous.

Members Reviews:

A must read!

Strength of a Champion is a wonderfully-written book that eloquently shares O.J. Brigance's life story.

His life story is truly inspiring. Along his journey, he is faced with what most people would call challenges, but he views them as opportunities. He explains how, with his faith in God, support from his wife, Chanda, and love from his family, friends and colleagues, he is able to overcome adversity and persevere.

O.J.'s behind-the-scenes look at how he makes it to the NFL shows a man that was not willing to give up; to him, nothing is impossible. His passion and drive are motivational. The process from being undrafted out of college to being a star in the CFL and ultimately the NFL was not an easy one for O.J., but along the way, you will find yourself rooting for this underdog. His stories and personal relationships with his teammates, were both interesting and insightful to what it means to being a professional football player. O.J. also weaves in his sense of humor - like after a tough August practice he is a dime short for a can of coke and asks teammates if they can spare a dime - only to realize that you get free sodas when you are in the NFL.

His battle with ALS and how he deals with this dreadful disease will give you perspective in your own life. We all face challenges in life, and sometimes they may be daunting, but how we deal with them could make the difference between seeing the challenge as an obstacle or opportunity.

Title: 365 Daily Affirmations for Happiness

Author: Jan Yager

Narrator: Gale Cruz

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-23-13

Publisher: Hannacroix Creek Books, inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

This is a collection of the author's original inspirational affirmations including two dozen famous maxims on happiness. This useful little book begins with an introduction about happiness, highlighting the work of Norman Vincent Peale, author of The Power of Positive Thinking, and other related works of sociologists, psychologists, and even economists on happiness.

"If you want to be happy, then it is within your grasp. The book you are holding can have a profound impact on your thinking and your attitude and can help you to do more, be more, and achieve more!" (Willie Jolley, author of It Only Takes a Minute to Change Your Life!)

Members Reviews:

Instant Attitude Adjustment!

I wish I had Jan's inspiring book when I was a caregiver to my aging parents, both with Alzheimer's, to pull me back from the brink of despair to positive thinking faster. Reading affirmations is a fantastic tool for instantly changing a mindset, because you can't have positive and negative thoughts at the same time--so who needs the negative ones? The insightful introduction and suggested activities for work happiness makes it also valuable for human resource managers, therapists, trainers, and activity coordinators. If you are going through a challenging time (who isn't?), caring for an aging loved one, dealing with depression, illness, or just need some positive reinforcement, you will refer to Jan's book again and again for instant strength and hope.

-Jacqueline Marcell, Author 'Elder Rage, or Take My Father... Please! How to Survive Caring for Aging Parents', International Speaker on Eldercare & Alzheimer's

Positive affirmations really work

I found myself smiling just reading quickly through "365 Daily Affirmations for Happiness;" I'm sure that if I took the time to digest a single one each day, the profound simplicity of each affirmation would give me plenty to think about and connect with. I think Dr. Jan Yager has done a good thing by focusing on writing a book purely made up of positive, uplifting statements; we of the busy world focus too much on efficiently getting work done and various negative things in life, and we tend not to spend enough time on ourselves and our happiness. But there will always be negative things in life. There will always be things that we just cannot control. What this book reminds you of is what you are in control of is your happiness; change your mindset and your life will change. Statements like "Money is only money, not a substitute for happiness" and "I can change someone's life with one conversation" really hit home with me; they might make a difference in your life too.

Beautiful, Special Gift of a Book. Read it.

This is a very special book. It's more like a gift to humanity. The book shares stories of how cats have brought their mysterious healing, loving powers to bear on many folks who desperately needed some loving. Any cat lover will cherish the book. It's also great even if you don't love cats; the stories are well-written, short, and can be read randomly anytime.

Highly recommended.

GOOD BOOK

Since I am a cat lover I liked this book. I recently had to put, my eighteen year old cat, Cody, down a few weeks before Christmas. The book did give me some comfort on my recent loss. My favorite story was about Paprika from Hungary and WWII. Some of the stories did not resonate with me that well. I believe that cats have strong ESP, love you unconditionally, and are every bit as loyal as a dog which this book did convey. Over all, I liked the book, but it wasn't quite what I thought it would be after reading all the reviews. I do not know if I would give as a gift, but would recommend it for cat lovers.

Beautiful, Humorous and Miraculous

Angel Cats is a beautiful book; a work to be cherished; a source of comfort, humor, introspection, and love. The touching tales in this book are nothing short of miraculous and many have evoked tears of profound gratitude, sadness, peace, amazement and love.

Title: On the Grace of God

Author: Justin S. Holcomb

Narrator: Charles Carroll

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-19-13

Publisher: christianaudio.com

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Packed with big truth, this audiobook on God's grace can be heard in roughly one hour, ensuring you'll actually listen to it. Justin Holcomb, pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle and executive director of the Resurgence, highlights Scripture's recurring emphasis on humanitys desperate need and Gods extravagant grace. Holcomb convincingly demonstrates that grace - most powerfully manifested in the person and work of Jesus Christ - is the foundational theme and primary message of the whole Bible.

An appendix succinctly summarizes how God's grace is evident in each book of the Bible. Part of the Re:Lit line, these inexpensive and accessible books give clear, biblical answers to difficult theological questions and controversies. Through this series, listeners will get a solid and simple introduction to biblical concepts by investing just a little time.

Members Reviews:

A big and powerful message in a very small book.

On the Grace of God (Re: Lit Books) tells us what grace is, how it works in our lives, and why it is so vitally important. In fact, as Holcomb explains, without the grace of God, our entire world would crumble without the hope of redemption for anyone. In this book, discover that âgratuitousâ grace truly is real and how it applies to your life.

Chapter 1 describes exactly what grace is, why we donât deserve it, and how God freely gives it to undeserving people. The Bible is thus viewed as the story of Godâs relentless outpouring of hesed (grace) upon creation and He is motivated by love in an attempt to restore the unity and peace (shalom) of creationâs beginning. Chapter 2 describes why grace is necessary due to the destructiveness of sin. The rest of the book follows the Bible linearly in order to extract the overriding theme of grace in the major narratives and storiesâin essence grace in practice is detailed as opposed to grace in theory. Holcomb also manages to explain basic doctrine (e.g. penal substitutionary atonement, the Incarnation) and how Jesus is the ultimate expression of hesed in all of history. The Appendix contains a list of Bible verses in order and how they demonstrate grace.

n On the Grace of God, the author makes very frequent use of external authors and tends to quote large blocs of text. This exposes the reader to profound works by many other authors and paints and a diverse yet integrated theological picture of grace throughout both Testaments.

I have read many other books in the Re:Lit series (On the Old Testament, On the New Testament, On Who Is God?, On Church Leadership) and I have not been disappointed. However, although they all promise you can get through one book in an hour, I still have not managed to accomplish that task. Give it an afternoon, however, and you should be fine. A quick and easy read with tons of footnotes.

THE NEW REFORMATION IS THE "GRACE" MESSAGE

I have just finished reading Justin S. Holcomb's marvelous book, On the Grace of God, and enthusiastically recommend it to believers and seekers of truth everywhere. In my opinion Holcomb has discerningly set his sails and captured the direction the 'wind of the Spirit' is blowing at the dawn of the twenty-first century.

Members Reviews:

Read It Quickly, Revisit It Often!

This small book contains wisdom that I really needed. The author shares most sincerely from her heart, but the truth she shares is so universal to a mother's experience. There were a few spots where I wish the author shared a bit more of her own story, but that does not in any way detract from the fact that I loved this book. I'm so glad this book landed in my hands when it did. I was both challenged and encouraged by each day's devotion.

Amen!!! It's not just me !

This little book calls itself a seven day format, but I found I devoured it in one afternoon. I felt like I was reading my own story. Every mother wants the best for their family and so often we forget what may be best for us. I would like to thank this author for reminding us all that it is perfectly acceptable to actually rest once in a while. No more "to do" lists for me. With faith in God, we can certainly find a way to nourish everyone...including ourselves.....a must read.

One a day for 7 days! Great prescription :)

On the spice rack, how is your bitterness level? Think you don't have any? This devotion might change your mind! What are the 'barriers' you can put up to prevent its root regrowing?

How do you do with the 1,440 minutes in each day? Don't miss your party! It's your life and Jesus is the cake.

On Day 5, the author shares a harrowing experience but sadly does not gives us the ending which is very frustrating. Did God really protect her through it?

Apart from the above frustration the book is full of practical advice for mothers from a mama of 5 boys. She knows what busy is but has also learned how important it is to rest. That doesn't mean being lazy. There is a big difference between the two. Find out in this easy to read, 7 day devotional. Take heart mothers! You can make it through!

Blessing of a book

This book was a blessing for a busy, over tired, emotionally drained mom like me. I encourage every mom who feels like she needs to be everything to everyone to read this book. Author Laura J. Marshall gave me a lot to think about and some great scripture to back up her words.

Great devotional

As a mom of a infant boy who was used to being on the go and constantly moving, this devotional was a blessing to me. I would read one handed on my cell phone while nursing. I enjoyed it each day and had to resist the urge to read ahead... instead I took the time to meditate on what the author was sharing.

Title: Coming Back to Ourselves: Finding Authentic Direction in the Chaos of Being

Author: Scott Teitsworth

Narrator: Scott Teitsworth

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr

Language: English

Release date: 04-19-13

Publisher: Wetware Media

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

Our default setting has become to decide everything rationally and consciously. We don't know, or have forgotten, how to trust our higher aspirations and the authentic insight and wisdom of our "inner genius". Society extols our lower aspirations, such as competition, materialism, cold-heartedness and "every man for himself", but this is a recipe for mediocrity.

Those who aspire to excellence need to find ways to discover their suppressed talents and bring them to life. When our potentials are not actualized we may experience fear, anxiety, addiction, and depression, which can be messages to look in another direction.

In this conversation, Scott points out that many of our desires are learned desires - pastimes, amusements, and substitutes for what we truly want. "Our real craving is for our authentic being. Once we connect back to ourselves, that's the cure for everything."

So where do we begin? How do we come back to our authentic selves and find our direction in the chaos of being? Is it even worth the effort?

Coming Back to Ourselves is Scott Teitworth's refreshing and inspiring response to these vital questions.

No. Oh hell no!

I don't know what I expected. it wasn't this old hippie talk. I did laugh a few times, then I dozed off. The man has dropped acid a few too many times and it shows. I think the small price tag drew me in. I'm glad it was not 5 minutes longer. My sense of humor was wearing thin.
