  • - The Story of the 1976 Pittsburgh Steelers
    von Anthony Balbo
    33,00 €

    Without question, the team of the 1970s in the NFL was the Pittsburgh Steelers. During the decade, the Steelers won four Super Bowls. However, the team for which this book was written, the 1976 squad, was not one of them. However, many Steelers of the time, including its founder, Art Rooney, said that the 1976 was the best of them all. It did not seem like it after the first five games of the season as the Steelers won only one of those games. They also lost starting quarterback Terry Bradshaw in the fifth game to injury for several games and had to move on with rookie Mike Kruczek in control of the offense. Knowing that one more loss would destroy any hopes they had to make the playoffs and a chance to win an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl, the Steel Curtain defense dominated like no other defense in "modern" NFL history. In their last nine games, all victories, the Steelers gave up only 28 points during that span. No other defense can even come close to numbers like that. In addition, with their passing game struggling due to injuries, the running attack that featured the "Ground Crew" offensive line gained hundreds of rushing yards per game during their nine-game winning streak. Running backs Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier to both rush for over 1000 yards in 1976, only the second pair of running backs to ever do so in the same 14-game season.The 1976 Pittsburgh Steelers had an incredible conglomeration of some of the NFL's all-time greats in their organization, 13 of which are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Cornerback Mel Blount was so dominant that the NFL changed defensive coverage rules, one of which was named after him. Quarterback Terry Bradshaw won four Super Bowls, winning MVP in Super Bowl XIII and XIV, and showed how clutch he was by throwing a touchdown pass in the fourth quarter of each Super Bowl. Defensive tackle Joe Greene, the first draft pick by head coach Chuck Noll, was Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1969, Defensive Player of the Year in 1972 and 1974, made the Pro Bowl ten times, and was All-Pro four times. Outside linebacker Jack Ham was a six-time All-Pro who was considered one of the finest pass coverage linebackers of all-time. Franco Harris finished his career second on the all-time rushing list and was named MVP of Super Bowl IX. Inside linebacker Jack Lambert was the emotional leader of the defense, was six-time All-Pro, and was the Defensive Player of the Year in 1976. Wide Receiver John Stallworth retired as the Steelers' all-time leader in receptions, receiving yardage, and touchdowns and scored the game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl XIV. Safety Donnie Shell was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020 was such a fierce hitter that his teammates gave him the nickname "Torpedo". Wide receiver Lynn Swann was Super Bowl X MVP and made some of the greatest catches of all-time during his career. Center Mike Webster anchored the offensive line for fifteen years and was named All-Pro five times. Head coach Chuck Noll was also named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and is the only coach to win four Super Bowls without a loss. Owner Art Rooney and his son Dan Rooney, who was team president in 1976, were also inducted into the Hall of Fame.

  • - Withstanding The Journey Through Faith
    von Nita L Page
    51,00 €

    Our life plans are often far off course from where and what we expect our lives to be.  Our expectations, life-altering losses, people, presumed failures and ultimately fickle faith lead us down a trail littered with disappointment, anxiety and despair.  Author, Nita L. Page, shares the most disappointing and vulnerable seasons in her life, how she was able to weather the storm with God’s grace and ultimately overcome by allowing her faith in Christ to rise up within her. The author shares life encounters and personal experiences that ultimately led her to fully embrace love, forgiveness, and humility.  God meets us right where we are - in our deepest valley and highest mountain top moments - He is there with us to guide us along the way.  God’s love is unwavering.  When in despair, do not travel the road alone. Invite God into your life and make your requests known unto Him. Connect with your faith and God will give you every bit of the strength you need to keep moving forward.Once we understand that life is simply a series of lessons and opportunities to serve Him, the journey becomes that much more rewarding.  We begin to understand closed doors and seemingly missed opportunities – those experiences that would have, if not for God’s divine intervention – taken us completely off course from His ultimate plan for our lives.Covered by Grace reads like a devotional or series of short stories of courage and perseverance.  Readers will find the author to be refreshingly relatable – a sister or dear friend simply sharing short stories over lunch. At the end of each chapter, the author challenges the reader to look inward - to recognize past experiences for exactly what they were, acknowledge any missteps, grasp the intended lessons, and then ultimately the author charges the reader with the responsibility to reach back to those who aided them along their journey; and to pay the blessing forward to future generations.

    Half of Jan Morrison's life is pure chaos, the half that has to do with her family, her sense of wifeliness, motherliness, womanliness. The other half, the half in which she counsels children whose own lives are as chaotic as hers, is the core of her days, and she is pretty successful at it even though she comes to school hungover, popping breath mints, unsympathetic toward little girls who suck their thumbs, and incapable of calling her autocratic principal by his first name. Asshole seems a much more fitting label.Then Mr. Peterson warns her that her days at James Lee Elementary School are numbered. RIFFING: reduction in force. Six weeks, to be exact. And her only hope of survival is to cure the six most problematic kids in the school or at least make them disappear from the principal's radar.Between her divorce and her unsympathetic school principal, Jan is almost as unstable as the kids in her Wednesday Club who are not following the rules and are creating havoc in classrooms and on the playground. Mr. Pedersen has given her the edict "cure these kids" or else, the else being her job. Jan knows she needs to cure herself while she's at it.The cure may be the Wednesday Club, except that every time it meets, one of its six members either flies away as a pterodactyl, hides behind the tightened strings of his hoody, continues to suck her slick thumb, steals a watch just for the heck of it, or just plain disappears. An irate parent, a scared principal, and Jan's inability to keep her mouth shut bring Jan's job to an abrupt end.However, a couple of good girl friends, a talented lover, a dog, the return of a son, and a belief in her own vision for messed up little kids keep Jan moving through the chaos, hope on the horizon.

    CIA agents must play catch-up in time to stop powerful men in Homeland Security and the Defense Department from staging the overthrow of the President and his administration!Escalating gang violence in Denver, Colorado, and in other large cities in the nation captures the attention of the first term President. He wants a solution, and he wants it NOW. Legislation takes years. The Director of Homeland Security presents a convincing argument that the remedy to the deteriorating situation may be a highly classified program deep within the charter of the Federal Emergency Management Agency-FEMA, known as Annex K. This deep-black program, nicknamed STARDUST, would be executed beneath the heaviest cloak of utmost secrecy and without the informed consent of Congress. When the CIA sends Agent Dave McClure to Denver to investigate inexplicable lethal violence being waged with advanced weaponry against organized street gangs, McClure discovers that what has been unleashed is a sinister solution far worse than the problem. He unearths a nightmarish plot to do much more than eliminate gangs in America - rather, an attempt to seize the military district of Washington and overthrow the federal government. McClure's own life is now at especially high risk. The CIA must act quickly and with overwhelming force. The clock is ticking.

    This book is a story of my life as an adulterer for a decade, even during my own marriage. It speaks about sex, sex, sex, and more sex in the relationship and how I tried to leave on various occasions, only to return every time. Through prayer and fasting, and continued trips to the altar, the Lord delivered me and set me free from this stronghold that plagued my life for so long and blessed me with my own husband. Thank God for Freedom! The Lord began to speak to me saying, "I want you to write a book based on your own adulterous life but do not mention the man's name because he is still married. You will refer to him as HE or HIM. I am going to use you because you are bold enough and you are not ashamed to talk about your life situations to anyone because I have now delivered you. I want you to start from the time the very thought entered your mind, because sin starts in the mind, how the affair started, meeting places, details, and how it finally ended. Male and female will read your book because the things that you say, they are too ashamed to admit. But they are committing the same acts themselves. I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU, THUS SAITH THE LORD." Now, I don't know about you, but when the Lord tells me to do something, I do it. And so, it begins...

    In the 1960's the Andy Griffith Show was a great hit. It followed the lives of a small-town sheriff and his family and friends. The show presented the soft side of a sheriff's life. It was funny, charitable, and gentle. The author of Playing Cops grew up in the same time period and as the member of a rural sheriff's family. His memoir at times is funny, but it is also frightening and heartbreaking. The author and his brothers worked as deputies for their father from their early teens forward and were exposed to all the variants of life and death. They saw the underside of life that most adults go through life without understanding or even acknowledging. Go for the ride with tissues and an open heart.

    von Patience Okon-Ndekwe

    VIOLENCE is truly the modern word for SIN, SINNING AND SINFULNESS. Without associating Violence with Sin--the chaotic, aggressive, immoral or sarcastic elude most people as SINNING. The Preacher's message against sin has become dull, and is no longer heard. The reason is that the society has failed to associate Violence with Sin. Sin--the old spiritual word is synonymous with Violence. And VIOLENCE has so many other names, e.g., Terrorism, Religious Wars, Emotional Disturbances, Offending, Harming, Pestilence, Famine, Disease, Assault, Hatred, etc. The list goes on and on and we know it. For this reason, acts of Murder, Stealing, Greed, Profanity or Immorality... are acts of Violence. Violence is that word that describes the entire 10 Sinning Acts in the 10 Commandments. So when is it OK to Sin? How will SIN be made comfortable for the next generation? Let's look at the Gun Laws for instance--Laws of Violence, Rules to Offending, Practical Principles of Hatred and/or Authority to Harm. These are new ways to legalize sin. Our gun laws legislate sin. The right to harm and carry instruments of offending is legislated attracting heavy spending. Let the conscience speak. Is it alright to legislate tendency to violate, offend, harm or hate among the youth? These opposing laws authorize the vulnerable to expand their scope and increase their populations in the criminal justice system. If it becomes OK to tout hatred by weapons of violence, would leadership not also legislate the immoral, corrupt, stealing, greed, embezzlement? Let's be sensitive--Violence or Sin and these Instruments perpetuate the decay factor in our society.... These can all be turned off, minimized and extinguished.We owe posterity awakened consciousness. Associating weapons of Violence with Sinfulness, help shun evil. Limiting these means embracing National Peace, Security, Safety and such. If we commit to Peacemaking sacrificially, we attract personal Peace, Safety and Security and transform individually, socially, politically and economically--for our generation.Personal sacrifices litigate the Enemy dragging the Avenger and the Foe into divine court of Justice where martyrs rule. By obeying the Seven Laws of Sacrifices we suspend judgements against self and loved ones, frustrating the enterprise of wickedness. These laws promote peace, cancel negativities and extinguish claims against you, your society and your possessions. They are the Laws of Peacemaking. Global Peace, National Security and Safety are founded upon these principles for sustainable development, self-transformation, environmental stability and social reform. Such are dream promises that every responsible care issues, which government makes to their citizens. Violence, terrorism and conflicts pose serious health threat, thwart sustainability and waste spending. Violence is the issue in the criminal justice system and the dilemma in human rights protection. Bust Sacrifices of Peace eradicate diverse intensities of conflicts and behaviors that threaten us. As Divine Peacemaking eliminates hostilities universally, our united effort banishes all types of fear, correcting the negative, righting wrongs. Chaos will retreat, brute tendencies with distinct types of selfishness will be curtailed to balance natural laws. "Feasting the Enemy Peace" restores generations stagnated in conflict back to times of prosperity. Feasting Laws are weapons--the passcode of Masters. The Temple Church is the divine agency that establishes these metaphysical principles for global peace, security and safety. The Temple Church represents sustainability and threats-reversal.

    My story is not unique but perhaps exceptional because of my parent's belief in me and their values. We were not rich in dollars but wealthy in skills for personal success and helping others. Early in my life my parents taught their ideals. They were both educators. I believed, embraced and acted on those ideals. Now during this learning period, I certainly had fun, made and lost friends. I explored nature and studied both hard and smart. Most importantly I respected, admired and loved my teachers. And I believed their feelings were mutual. My teachers made it possible for me to say with full confidence, as I said in the chapter on my future goals, that I could be a Surgeon, Army General or a Scientist. I was not given a silver spoon for material things. But, I was taught to look for the gold in me and others to overcome temporary road blocks. These and other lessons from my early childhood village-Wilmington, NC provided foundation guideposts for my success in a helping profession as a medical trailblazer.

    Jess, Jeremy, and Amanda grew up under the Ice-Scape Dome. The Dome housed a complete, climate-controlled ecosystem for scientific study. It was an ecological and a social experiment: the brainchild of Dr. Emily Rose. She posited that future successful space exploration would require both self-contained ecosystems and self-sustaining social structures. Isolated under the Dome, residents experienced no competition for resources, no social caste structure, and no economic conflict. Jess, Amanda, and Jeremy have lived in the social utopia of the Ice-Scape Dome since infancy. As they approach their sixteenth birthdays, though, the experiment concludes, and they are sent to school in New York City where they must face the realities of life as an American teenager. It remains to be seen how well their utopian upbringing prepared them for life in an American high school.
