Story4.5 out of 5 stars 198
Gunslinger tells Brett Favre's full, definitive story for the first time, drawing on more than 500 interviews, including many from the people closest to Favre. Jeff Pearlman charts Favre's journey, from his rough rural childhood and lackluster high school football career to landing the last roster spot at Southern Mississippi to a late-night car accident that nearly took his life. Favre clawed back, getting drafted into the NFL, first to Atlanta, then to Green Bay, where he restored the Packers to greatness and inspired a fan base as passionate as any in the game.

Those men went beyond the call of duty, performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert tragedy on a much larger scale.

Story4 out of 5 stars 884
We live in a culture of casual certitude. This has always been the case, no matter how often that certainty has failed. Though no generation believes there's nothing left to learn, every generation unconsciously assumes that what has already been defined and accepted is (probably) pretty close to how reality will be viewed in perpetuity. And then, of course, time passes. Ideas shift. Opinions invert. What once seemed reasonable eventually becomes absurd, replaced by modern perspectives that feel even more irrefutable and secure - until, of course, they don't.

This landmark book is for those of us who prefer words to equations; this is the story of the ultimate quest for knowledge, the ongoing search for the secrets at the heart of time and space. Its author, Stephen W. Hawking, is arguably the greatest mind since Einstein. From the vantage point of the wheelchair, where he has spent the last 20 years trapped by Lou Gehrig's disease, Professor Hawking has transformed our view of the universe. A Brief History of Time is Hawking's classic introduction to today's most important scientific ideas.

Publisher's Summary
When SSG John Kriesel lost his legs and two buddies in a roadside bomb explosion, no one expected him to survive. He died three times on the operating table. Miracles, a lot of miracles, starting with a few grunts who refused to let him die in Iraq, ripped the young warrior from the grip of death and sent him on to four hospitals, thirty-five surgeries, and months of recovery and rehabilitation. Medical miracles put his body back together, but it was an incredible confluence of angels at every step along the way that breathed life into his shattered body.
This is not just another war story. This is the story of an ordinary young man who overcame extraordinary challenges with a lot of help from others, including many strangers and he emerged stronger and more in love with his country, his wife, his children, and ultimately, his own life.

Perfect story and perfect timing.
I was sitting in my office on Dec 2 2016 listening to KFAN as I do most mornings. I am a MSgt in the New Mexico Air National Guard. I was sitting there wondering how I was going to get through the weekend UTA. We do this once a month I the Guard and reserved for those who are Drill Status Guardsmen. Anyway, I was feeling a little sorry for myself for having to miss out on, for the life of me I can't even remember now, over the weekend. All of a sudden I hear this guy talking about his alive day. Then they discussed John's story on the program and I came to the realization that my weekend would be grand and even an honor considering there are currently members of the armed forces fighting for their lives, people they don't even know and the great United State of America. My attitude adjustment was swift and couldn't have happened at a better time. I ordered this audio book and listened to it over the next couple of days. John and his fellow brothers in arms are great Americans and we all owe them a debt of gratitude. I grew up in Arizona but have been a Minnesota Vikings fan my entire life. It's amazing how my similar interest in the Vikings has brought me to this connection in life with the author and this story. I have never been to Minnesota before but I plan to visit the Vikings and their new stadium very soon. Thanks for the story John, the motivation and the pride to be serving our country. This is a must read, or listen for anyone that needs an attitude adjustment. Thanks! Lance
