What would one call taking teens with no evident running talent and putting them through breakneck training combined with mantras from the rock n' roll, techniques from Kenya, philosophy from Australia and turning them champions? Is it revolutionary? Or just plain crazy?Bill Aris has heard both, but one thing is indisputable. Everything Aris does with his runners—male and female—is new and extraordinary, and he has created a new American running dynasty. The runners of Fayetteville-Manlius High School, or F-M, have won the last nine out of ten national championships and have the best cumulative record in cross country history. F-M's domination has shocked the sport for its defiance of accepted running principles and limitations. One year, the girls defeated the 2nd-place team in the country by an average of 59 seconds per girl in a 5k race. Another year, the F-M girls’ ran faster than their Kenyan counterparts, who had come to Oregon as a showcase. Across the country, top coaches all whisper, “How do they do it?”From adopting long-forgotten Spartan creeds to focusing on teenaged developmental psychology and gender-blindness in training, The Running Revolutionaries is a a must read for millions of runners and the millions more who strive for better performance.

Amazing Grace Overcoming Race is not just an autobiography of Larry Oney's life so far; rather it is his inspiring testimony to the power of God's love and grace in his life. Deacon Larry shares his struggles of growing up as a sharecropper's son, his growing awareness of structural-racism, and God's grace throughout his life. This inspiring story calls us all to be more open to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives! "Thank you for placing these reflections in writing and for giving me an opportunity to read these reflections on your life and on the important topic of racism. Thanks for your witness to 'The New Evangelization.' I am humbled to know that our prayer for the New Battle of New Orleans gave you further motivation to publish this work and to give us an opportunity to grow in God's wisdom through you." Most Reverend Gregory M. Aymond, Archbishop of New Orleans. "Deacon Larry's story-telling skill helps to make history real-it's like I'm sitting in his home listening to him share stories about his past. Reading about his life experiences sheds light on many areas of race-related concerns and how God's grace can help us to overcome." J.D. McGurn, President, Thorn Cross Ministries, LLC.

There are an estimated 20 million orphans in the country of India. Thanks to Kelly and Scott Parkison, that number has decreased by one. Having promised to never return to India after her experience on the reality show The Amazing Race, Kelly never dreamed she would one day be a mother to a beautiful Indian girl named Lyla. This is the amazing and true story of how God uses the most unlikely circumstances for His greater purpose. Calling the Parkison’s adoption story a rollercoaster ride of emotion would be an understatement. After almost every major decision in the Parkison’s adoption process, God put a twist in their carefully laid plans only to lead them to greater opportunities. Faced with an overwhelming amount of fundraising, mountains of adoption paperwork, an unexpected pregnancy, a medical issue to patch with their new daughter, and the adjustment of bringing their child into a new culture, the Parkisons clung to God through their whirlwind adoption of Lyla. Their heartwarming story is a beautiful testament to the gift of adoption on this earth and the love of God for all of us as His children.
