Book excerpt: When you meet someone that you can share your dreams, hopes, and fears with, share your inner most secrets, laugh and cry with, and be yourself and they still like you, you want to spend the rest of your life with them. It is inevitable that you fall in love, get married, and believe you will live happily ever after. It is then that you make a lifelong commitment to be together. At that time, life seems to be perfect, but then tragedy strikes. You are thrown for a loop by the inevitability of death. Feelings of hopelessness consume you. What do you do when you pray for someone to live, but he is ready to die? Suddenly, your peace and happiness are gone, and you would trade places with that person if you could. Suddenly life as you know it is over. There seems to be no balance between the good, the bad, and the ugly things happening in your life. Death is imminent! Experiences outlined in this book show: how faith outweighs balancefaith in knowing that God knows, allows, and does what is best for us; faith that good outweighs bad, knowing that death is inevitable. There is life after death, and we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love him and are then called according to his purpose. This book will prepare you for a greater relationship that never ends . . . a relationship with the one who makes life worth living and death worthwhile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This masterpiece of dogged and loving reporting will astonish you and touch your heart. The struggles and quest for redemption of football star Jackie Wallace make for a fall-from-grace tale that’s both unsettling and uplifting.”—Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs and Leonardo da Vinci The heartbreaking, timeless, and redemptive story of the transformative friendship binding a fallen-from-grace NFL player and a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist who meet on the streets of New Orleans, offering a rare glimpse into the precarious world of homelessness and the lingering impact of systemic racism and poverty on the lives of NOLA’s citizens. In 1990, while covering a story about homelessness for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Ted Jackson encountered a drug addict sleeping under a bridge. After snapping a photo, Jackson woke the man. Pointing to the daily newspaper by his feet, the homeless stranger looked the photojournalist in the eye and said, “You ought to do a story about me.” When Ted asked why, he was stunned by the answer. “Because, I’ve played in three Super Bowls.” That chance meeting was the start of Ted’s thirty-year relationship with Jackie Wallace, a former NFL star who rose to the pinnacle of fame and fortune, only to crash and lose it all. Getting to know Jackie, Ted learned the details of his life, and how he spiraled into the “vortex of darkness” that left him addicted and living on the streets of New Orleans. Ted chronicles Jackie's life from his teenage years in New Orleans through college and the NFL to the end of his pro career and the untimely death of his mother—devastating events that led him into addiction and homelessness. Throughout, Ted pays tribute to the enduring friendship he shares with this man he has come to know and also look at as an inspiration. But Ted is not naïve; he speaks frankly about the vulnerability of such a relationship: Can a man like Jackie recover, or is he destined to roam the streets until his end? Tragic and triumphant, inspiring and unexpected, You Ought to Do a Story About Me offers a rare glimpse into the precarious world of homelessness and the lingering impact of racism and poverty on the lives of NOLA’s citizens. Lyrical and evocative, Ted's account is pure, singular, and ambitious—a timeless tale about loss, redemption, and hope in their multifarious forms. “This book will melt your heart. The story of Jackie Wallace is an unforgettable tale of hope, grace, and the miracle of the human spirit. Ted Jackson writes with searing honesty and deep love for a troubled man who started as his subject and became his lifelong friend.”—Jonathan Eig, bestselling author of Ali: A Life and Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig

If you kiss me in the snow, I will always wait for you to call first. If you trek out alone into the rugged wilderness to avenge your honor, I am coming in after you."" This combined collection of short stories and literary essays by Amber L. Carter gives voice to what we wish those who made their way into our hearts could have known...and what we still need to know for ourselves after they've made their way out again. With the glittering twin cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul and the quiet woods of northwest Wisconsin serving as a backdrop to her chronicles of ""pounding love and crashing pain and that pretty ache"", Carter's keen and unflinching observations of the intricacies of the human heart - mixed with a complex vulnerability and a delightfully wry humor - make each piece both intensely absorbing and startlingly familiar.

A passion like you feel you should have, like you always wanted to have, like you used to have? If the answer is yes, then this book is for you. I've written this book for the average Joe and Joanne, people just like you and me, who don't have a theology degree or a professional ministry position but do have a desire to be able to understand and appreciate God's Word and develop a habit of honoring it daily. The topics in this book are actually lessons from my small group that I have had the privilege of leading for many years. My hope and prayer is that this enriches you, speaks life to you, and that the Holy Spirit would "open the eyes of your heart" to fall in love with God's love letter to you. You will find twenty-four chapters on topics that I believe are central to the Christian faith and that are ideal for your own devotional time or even to use as a guide for you-yes, you-to teach to a small group or cell group. Simple in presentation, yet profound in impact.
