Being Real > Being Perfect is an inspiring rallying cry for Christians to let go of pretending and enjoy a freeing, authentic relationship with Jesus and others. Are you tired of trying to be someone you're not? Many of us spend a lot of energy--especially at church--trying to hide the fact that we're struggling. We can't share our marriage problems. Our addiction. Our sense of distance from God. In Being Real > Being Perfect, Justin Davis reminds us that God doesn't heal what we don't admit is broken. As he vulnerably shares his own story of redemption, Justin helps us understand: Why being real with ourselves, God, and others leads to peace and hope How faking perfection robs us of the transformative power of grace What the Bible says about insecurity and identity Step-by-step ways to overcome our fear of being vulnerable If you're tired of trying to prove yourself, if you're tired of wondering where the real "you" went, if you're tired of knowing information but not experiencing transformation--discover the vibrant spiritual life you long for as you embrace the truth that being real is greater than you can imagine.

We long for relationships to be joyful and life-giving. So why do they often feel like a struggle? How do we recognize and overcome the behaviors and thought patterns that leave us wounded, broken, and exhausted? One Choice Away from Change helps us identify dysfunctional life patterns that cause us to repeat the same mistakes in our relationships, fall into the same bad habits at work, and argue about the same issues with the people we love. Drawing on their own story of healing, Justin and Trisha Davis offer practical encouragement that equips us to: Understand why we make choices that sabotage us Stop the past from dictating the present Leave behind our go-to sins and dysfunctions Move forward in the hope of who God calls us to be Cycle-Breaking Prayers at the end of each chapter help you surrender your past and invite God's transforming power into your relationships--because you aren't as stuck as you think you are. In fact, you are just one decision away from breaking the cycles that keep you living in fear and shame. Experience the power of God's grace ... one choice at a time.

This is the inside story that pulls no punches of the brutality and the consequences of living with this wicked affliction.

An indispensable guide to parents of hockey hopefuls At a time of great change in hockey, Justin Davis exposes the dark underbelly of the journey from the minors to the big leagues Hockey culture: it's a commonly used phrase inside the game, glorifying sacrifice, toughness, loyalty, and a sense of identity. Justin Davis viewed this culture as something he was lucky enough to experience. After all, he'd won a Memorial Cup after leading the tournament in scoring, and he'd been drafted by the Washington Capitals. "In my mind," he says, "I was the normal one." Unfortunately, after stepping outside the game, he began to recognize the racism, sexual abuse and bullying that was so deeply ingrained in the sport. And then, as his own children grew into teenagers, the curtain was pulled back, the memories came rushing forward, and he was horrified: "Why was I naked in a bus bathroom for four hours with seven teammates? What happened to my brain, and why can't I remember the simplest things? How did I end up living in a basement where the strangers upstairs were clearly engaged in domestic abuse?" As it navigates the sport's darkest corridors, Conflicted Scars shares the story of the common Canadian player and offers a guide for parents who need to know how and why a typical teenager with NHL dreams, from a small town, now lives anxiously, introvertedly, and battling emotional detachment.

High-Speed Digital System Design bridges the gap from theory to implementation in the real world. Systems with clock speeds in low megahertz range qualify for high-speed. Proper design results in quality digital transmissions and lowers the chance for errors. This book is for computer and electrical engineers who may or may not have learned electromagnetic theory. The presentation style allows readers to quickly begin designing their own high-speed systems and diagnosing existing designs for errors. After studying this book, readers will be able to: Design the power distribution system for a printed circuit board to minimize noise Plan the layers of a PCB for signals, power, and ground to maximize signal quality and minimize noise Include test structures in the printed circuit board to easily diagnose manufacturing mistakes Choose the best PCB design parameters such a trace width, height,and routed path to ensure the most stable characteristic impedance Determine the correct termination to minimize reflections Predict the delay caused by a given PCB trace Minimize driver power consumption using AC terminations Compensate for discontinuities along a PCB trace Use pre-emphasis and equalization techniques to counteract lossy transmission lines Determine the amount of crosstalk between two traces Diagnose existing PCBs to determine the sources of errors
