Book excerpt: A story of obsession, glory, and the wild early days of Ultimate Frisbee. David Gessner devoted his twenties to a cultish sport called Ultimate Frisbee. Like his teammates and rivals, he trained for countless hours, sacrificing his body and potential career for a chance at fleeting glory without fortune or fame. His only goal: to win Nationals and go down in Ultimate history as one of the greatest athletes no one has ever heard of. With humor and raw honesty, Gessner explores what it means to devote one’s life to something that many consider ridiculous. Today, Ultimate is played by millions, but in the 1980s, it was an obscure sport with a (mostly) undeserved stoner reputation. Its early heroes were as scrappy as the sport they loved, driven by fierce competition, intense rivalries, epic parties, and the noble ideals of the Spirit of the Game. Ultimate Glory is a portrait of the artist as a young ruffian. Gessner shares the field and his seemingly insane obsession with a cast of closely knit, larger-than-life characters. As his sport grows up, so does he, and eventually he gives up chasing flying discs to pursue a career as a writer. But he never forgets his love for this misunderstood sport and the rare sense of purpose he attained as a member of its priesthood.

Book excerpt: The Bible has a lot to say about Christ's return—it is mentioned more than three hundred times throughout the New Testament.

This compilation of expository messages from eight leading Bible teachers, including Tim Keller, John Piper, and D. A. Carson, explores the theme of redemption from Genesis to Revelation—stirring up within us a longing for our future home and filling us with joyful hope in light of Jesus's return.

Whether you are a teacher, parent, sibling, friend, manager, coworker, sports coach, or strength and conditioning coach, we all have someone we can positively influence and impact on a daily basis. But every coach also needs someone to look up to for advice and guidance as well. There is no better man to look up to than the greatest coach and mentor this world has ever seen and will ever know, Jesus Christ. Coach for Christ describes how Jesus lived throughout his ministry and discusses important principles that he taught along the way so we can continually attempt to live as he died. This book and guide describes how Jesus coached through a “heaven” mindset and how we can incorporate this concept into our lives so we may coach and positively influence people as he did. As men and women of Jesus Christ, we always want to draw closer to him. By understanding how Jesus lived and walked throughout his ministry, we are better able to be like him, which will further open our hearts to lead and coach for him every day.
