Dr. Jeffrey Brown
The Competitive Edge (Tyndale)
From high school to professional sports, athletes are struggling to gain an
edge. In some cases, performance-enhancing drugs are becoming the
solution. Dr. Brown is an Instructor at Harvard Medical School and a specialist
in anxiety and depressive disorders – including performance and relationship
challenges in sport business and life. To gain an edge, suggests Brown, we
can never compromise integrity. In our highly competitive culture, what we
often sacrifice is character and integrity and this is never a good trade off in
the long term. (Boston, MA)
Heather Nations
Just Enough Grace (ACW Publications)
What happens when you are a homeschool mother of four when you
suddenly find out you may be dying from a rare form of kidney cancer?
Nations says, “The edge is not a pretty place.” God gives us grace to deal
with whatever we face right now – economic uncertainty, relationship
problems, deteriorating health. Nations encourages us to see the good in
every situation, in spite of our hardships and struggles, God is there. “I am
really good at kicking against the boundaries. At wishing they were
different,” she says. She provides an upbeat outlook regarding the inevitable
difficulties we will encounter. (Orlando, FL).
Dr. Jim Payne
One Inch above the Water (Lytton)
When we get older, adventure is something we reminisce about from our
earlier days, right? Not so, says Jim Payne who suggests men need to
overcome the rational, sensible part of their brains and actively seek
adventure as they get older. A successful political science professor at Yale,
Wesleyan and Johns Hopkins, Payne left it all – recognizing he had only so
much time left to serve his community, honor God and launch into new and
exciting escapades. He says, “If I had ambitions in mind, I’d better stop
leaving them in the nebulous category of ‘one of these days’ and make them
happen.” (Sandpoint, Idaho)
