Second Chances is introduced by a timeline of events following the life of protagonist Jeff Savage, who graduates from Stanford, enters the Air Force, plays for the New York Yankees, builds a family, and finds happiness in life's changes.This timeline documents the events that changed his life, but Jeff's story is more than a collection of pivot points. It's the emotional journey between them that forms the crux of a strong read that's highly recommended for fans of psychological fiction, romance, family life and sports.The Author's ability to juxtapose the logic of decision-making with the consequences of choices good and bad, their lasting impact, and the potential for redemption down the line creates an atmosphere of emotional growth and change. Second Chances does an excellent job of documenting an aspiring young man's sometimes-reckless decisions and the opportunities and obstacles life brings to him, crafting a story filled not only with evolutionary events, but changing emotional currents.
Lewis and Sarah Allen Teach Young Christians How to Approach Difficulties and Disappointments Biblically We all encounter problems and challenges on a daily basis, ranging from small things—traffic, losing your keys, or running late—to much bigger issues—job insecurity, health issues, and relationship struggles. What should a believer in Christ do in the face of such adversities? Authors Lewis and Sarah Allen propose that while the world may teach us one way to approach challenges, there is a better way—complete dependence on Christ and pursuit of wise living. With the help of the Holy Spirit, Christians are able to live more joy-filled lives in the midst of adversity. In a conversational and personal tone, the Allens walk through key biblical passages as they relate to challenges and share stories, case studies, and illustrations to encourage us to rely on Christ and commit to his church in the battle of Christian life. Ideal for New or Young Christians: Especially those feeling discouraged by doubt and disappointment Engaging and Interactive: Includes case studies and illustrations, with questions and prayers at the end of every chapter Practical and Realistic: Readers will receive biblical direction for applying these principles to their daily lives

"A perfectly grand piece of historical record and synthetic journalism." -- Chicago Daily TribuneFrom Frederick Lewis Allen, former editor-in-chief of Harper's magazine, comes a classic history of 1920s America, from the end of World War I to the stock market crash and the beginning of The Great Depression. Originally published in 1931, Only Yesterday has an exuberance and proximity to its subject--the Roaring Twenties in all its scandal and glory--that uniquely captures the feel of the era.Only Yesterday deals with that delightful decade from the Armistice in November 1918 to the panic and depression of 1929-30. Here is the story of Woodrow Wilson's defeat, the Harding scandals, the Coolidge prosperity, the revolution in manners and morals, the bull market and its smash-up. Allen's lively narrative brings back an endless variety of half-forgotten events, fashions, crazes, and absurdities. Deftly written, with a humorous touch, Only Yesterday traces, beneath the excitements of day-to-day life in the 20s, those currents in national life and thought which are the essence of true history.
