Perfect $12.99 “If you want to live inside the most famous statistical afternoon in baseball history, Perfect is…well, let’s just say ‘ideal’.” -Chuck Closterman, Esquire On October 8, 1956, New York Yankees pitcher Don Larsen took the mound for game five of the World Series against the rival Brooklyn Dodgers. In an improbable performance that the New York Times called “the greatest moment in the history of the Fall Classic,” Larsen, an otherwise mediocre journeyman pitcher, retired twenty-seven straight Dodger batters to clinch a perfect game and, to date, the only postseason no-hitter ever witnessed in major league baseball. Here, Lew Paper delivers a masterful pitch-by-pitch account of that fateful day and the extraordinary lives of the players on the field- seven of whom would later be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Meticulously researched and relying on dozens of interviews, Paper’s gripping narrative recreates Larsen’s feat in a pitching duel that featured legendary figures such as Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson, Yogi Berra, and Roy Campanella. More than just the story of a single game, Perfect is a window into baseball’s glorious past. |

Searching for the Perfect Youth Ministry $12.43 "Searching for the Perfect Youth Ministry" was written for the sole purpose of making youth ministers aware of concerns and problems prior to their conception. This will allow each minister to evaluate his or her situation and search for practical and positive ways to either prevent these trials from happening, or at least diminish their potentially dangerous effects. Ultimately, the purpose is to provide youth ministers with longer and more prosperous tenures. "Searching for the Perfect Youth Ministry" is a book that should be on every youth pastor and every youth worker’s bookshelf. My friend, Marty Thompson, has gleaned from over 20 years of serving the Lord in churches of every size. Perhaps the greatest strength of this book is how he takes you from knowing how you are called to work with students all the way through the different competencies that you need to possess, the character that needs to be purified, and the courageous message that must be proclaimed. The book is made alive by the stories and the experiences that he shares. As I reviewed the various chapters, I honestly cannot think of one aspect of youth ministry that is not illuminated and enabling. Every year I hosted youth pastors from all over the country trying to prepare them for the challenges that lie ahead in reaching this generation for Christ. This book is a welcome tool. Dr. Jay Strack President and Founder of Student Leadership.net Marty Thompson is a graduate of Louisiana Tech University and has a Masters Degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He has spent over 20 years in student ministry and during those years his youth groups were regularly among the top ten churches in America in youthbaptisms. |

Baseball $24.95 Hailed by Sports Illustrated as the “Edward Gibbon of baseball history,” Harold Seymour is the first professional historian to produce an authoritative, multivolume chronicle of America’s national pastime. The first two volumes of this study–The Early Years and The Golden Age–won universal acclaim. The New York Times wrote that they “will grip every American who has invested part of his youth and dreams in the sport,” while The Boston Globe called them “irresistible.” Now, in The People’s Game, Seymour offers the first book devoted entirely to the history of the game outside of the professional leagues, revealing how, from its early beginnings up to World War II, baseball truly became the great American pastime. He explores the bond between baseball and boys through the decades, the game’s place in institutions from colleges to prisons to the armed forces, the rise of women’s baseball that coincided with nineteenth century feminism, and the struggles of black players and clubs from the later years of slavery up to the Second World War. Whether discussing the birth of softball or the origins of the seventh inning stretch, Dr. Seymour enriches his extensive research with fascinating details and entertaining anecdotes as well as his own wealth of baseball experience. The People’s Game brings to life the central role of baseball for generations of Americans. |
