Stand strong in the face of challenges with #1 New York Times bestselling author Joel Osteen. Living our best lives requires us to be all in, all in the time. When everything is to be going your way, it can be easy to make good decisions and do the right thing, but it's also easy to become complacent and stop giving your best. And what about when times are tough and nothing is happening in your favor? It can be even tougher to stay in the game when you don't feel like it and the voices of defeat tell you, "You're done. There's nothing good in your future." Don't believe tricks that life's ups and downs can play on your emotions, your mind, and your attitude. Staying in the game requires living out truths we know, even if we don't feel them to be true. When nothing is going your way and negativity tells you that you should be on the sidelines nursing your wounds--you're still in the game. And when life seems easy, with no storms on the horizon, you're still showing up and giving every day your best. You're still expecting great things, and there are rewards in store for people who are faithful through both hardship and times of ease. There are a million reasons to sit on the sidelines, but no matter what hand life deals you, good things are already on their way, and your effort has been noticed. Be courageous and Stay in the Game; your future is full of opportunities beyond your wildest dreams. Derived from content previously published in The Power of I Am and Break Out!

Rescued in 2010 from the small creek that runs next to Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, New York, a simple baseball launched an epic quest that spanned the United States and beyond. For eight years, "The Hall Ball" went on a journey to have its picture taken with every member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, both living and deceased. The goal? To enshrine the first crowd-sourced artifact ever donated to the Hall. Part travelogue, part baseball history, part photo journal, this book tells the full story for the first time. The narratives that accompany the ball's odyssey are as funny and moving as any in the history of the game.

Hidden somewhere, in nearly every major city in the world, is an underground seduction lair. And in these lairs, men trade the most devastatingly effective techniques ever invented to charm women. This is not fiction. These men really exist. They live together in houses known as Projects. And Neil Strauss, the bestselling author and journalist, spent two years living among them, using the pseudonym Style to protect his real-life identity. The result is one of the most explosive and controversial books of the last decade—guaranteed to change the lives of men and transform the way women understand the opposite sex forever. On his journey from AFC (average frustrated chump) to PUA (pick-up artist) to PUG (pick-up guru), Strauss not only shares scores of original seduction techniques but also has unforgettable encounters with the likes of Tom Cruise, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Heidi Fleiss, and Courtney Love. And then things really start to get strange—and passions lead to betrayals lead to violence. The Game is the story of one man's transformation from frog to prince to prisoner in the most unforgettable book of this generation.
