A lineman with something to prove. A vendetta against a baseball legend. The rise of a real-life NHL all-star. The luckiest grapefruit in sports history. Open up The Sports Pages, the third volume in the Guys Read Library of Great Reading, and you're in for all of this and more. From fiction to nonfiction, from baseball to mixed martial arts and everything in between, these are 10 stories about the rush of victory and the crush of defeat on and off the field. Compiled by kid-lit all-star Jon Scieszka, Guys Read: The Sports Pages is a thrilling collection of brand-new short stories.

I invite the listener to enter the lives of two young men with completely opposite views of the Vietnam War. One was a helicopter pilot, flying gunship in Hueys. The other enlisted in the navy to keep from being drafted by the US Army. Slightly fictionalized to provide a coherent narrative and to protect their identities and the identities of several supporting characters, the story line is amazing in revealing details that are true, almost beyond belief. 

Since the dawn of his existence, this creature, this fierce and violent beast, has been obsessed with conflict. Like an incurable disease - an addictive drug - war has terrified, teased and taunted, repelled, and fascinated. The power of conquest, the lure and craving for wealth, has fashioned the ultimate beast of war - man. In his own words throughout the centuries, man speaks to us of war - its art, its poetic strategy, its allure, and its tragedy. Come with us now and listen to the words of our own kind as they teach us how to be warriors. 

In this little audiobook, containing The Art of War (public domain), The Sayings of Wutzu (public domain), and the Tao Te Ching (translated by Joseph Lumpkin), we will see the tactics and strategies of the greatest minds of China as they struggle to win the external and internal battles for peace. 

They call it by a single name, but the beast has many heads and a thousand faces. It is the face of greed, the face of arrogance, the face of tyranny, of destruction, fear, aggression, and domination. Those whom it touches are destroyed and all who embrace it are devoured. Matthew 24, 6-7: And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places.

This book, Holy Spirit the Forgotten God, gives a classical revelation of the Holy Spirit who though is somewhat forgotten in the world, today, but He is the God who is in charge of this era, known as "the Era of the Holy Spirit". Scripture affirms the fact that Jesus had promised not to leave us as orphans (when the time of his departure had come), that he would ask the father and He would give us another helper who would take his place.

Miyamoto Musashi wrote the master text on being a well-trained and competent soldier-samurai, entitled The Book of Five Rings. This book covers the tactics, strategies, and philosophy of the singular master warrior. Along with Musashi's work, we have provided the Tao Te Ching, one of the philosophical text that contributed to the development of martial arts.

This audiobook, Holy Spirit the All in All, gives a great exposition of the Holy Spirit, etymology, symbols, his origin, his role in creation, his many functions in our lives, his place in the church, and why Christians need him in our time. Also, how the Old and New Testaments view him, his many gifts, and how to receive him. This book isn’t only about knowing the Holy Spirit but also how to discover your spiritual gifts as well as how to receive them and also about how to release them to impact our world today.
