In the late summer of 2016, the X-Men gather at St. Francis Xavier University. From talented but inexperienced seventeen-year-olds, to elite fourth and fifth- year medal holders, revered Coach Bernie Chisholm has assembled a team of cross country runners determined to become the first in St. FX history to win a national championship. But college is college, and there are also parties to survive, video games to triumph in, and running jokes that will cost more than one X-Man a chunk or two of an eyebrow. Over the next three months, focus intensifies and the X-Men punish their bodies in the pursuit of precious fitness gains, redeemable only on the Plains of Abraham on judgment day, the Canadian Nationals: November 12th. As challenges continue to mount, the runners of St. FX endure grueling practices, time trials, and cuts to determine which seven men will represent the team at nationals. Competition creates a power struggle between the runners – and best friends – that threatens to undermine the strength of the team. Meanwhile, other obstacles inherent to intense, college-level distance running continue to mount; injury, burnout, and the perhaps impossible balancing of athletics, social life, and academics. From the vivid perspective of someone who lived it in all its exhausting, exhilarating, and sometimes crushing ups and downs, Runners of the Nish explores how a group of disparate young men learn to use a common goal to become the most powerful versions of themselves on the cross-country course and beyond. And through it all, the question looms larger and larger, will any of it be enough for the St. FX Blue and White to find glory on the Plains of Abraham?

“Linda Carrier’s book tells an amazing story. No, it’s more than amazing. It is nearly unbelievable. Hers is a life and a book of challenges met and odds beaten. It’s a story about a marathon of marathons, but it’s much more than that. It’s a story of what the human spirit can achieve. I’m fascinated, entertained, educated, and inspired—all in one book! Read it.” —Dr. John Dempsey, President, Sandhills Community College Linda Carrier has never let her type 1 diabetes diagnosis keep her from living an exciting and fulfilled life. In fact, for over forty-five years, she’s ran numerous marathons to not only control her diabetes but to see the world. In Outrunning Diabetes, Linda recalls how she got into the World Marathon Majors–a prestigious championship-style competition—her feelings throughout each race, and how she tackled the World Marathon Challenge twice. Join her as she is faced with the most strenuous event yet: seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. From Antarctica to Africa, Australia to Asia, Europe to South America, and finally completing the race in North America, Linda shows us that diabetes does not define you—it is simply what you have. Told with grit and determination and filled with marathon plans and preparations, this book will move you—in more ways than one.

This whimsical book tells the tale of this journey highlighting races along the way, as well as offering tips to both first time runners as well as experienced marathoners. Focusing on one marathon per decade, the author not only provides amusing anecdotes of both the training and actual races, he offers an in depth analysis of how the marathon has changed over the years. From his Dad passing him a can of coke at mile marker 20 in 1979 for hydration, to today’s high tech hydration systems he traces this and other changes in the event. He also recounts experiencing the lows in the marathon to include running in the 2013 Boston Marathon marred by bombings. Spanning six decades this book appeals to high school runners, collegiate runners, recreational runners and masters runners. Always stressing positive mental attitude and flexibility, this book will leave the reader laughing while at the same time feeling ready to take on the challenge of their first, or next, race.

This book focuses on leading through times of crisis as a true measure of authentic and credible leadership, which is often tested during turbulent, inconsistent, and unpredictable times rather than through stable and steady phases. The emphasis is on those leaders that learned valuable lessons from various crisis experiences and adapted accordingly. Rather than be swayed by external circumstances, it is time to lead, to become the rudder--offering direction and opportunity--rather than the sails--being wavered by the winds. The most appropriate question that leaders should ask upon the onset of a crisis is not "When will all this end?" but rather "How will all this end?" The "how" entails an opportunity to make something positive out of a seemingly negative situation. This book offers a window of hope through which to look at an incoming crisis with eyes of faith, as a learning experience and opportunity to thrive. It builds on four pillars required to lead during crises--resilience, stamina, agility, and confrontation--and offers a leadership model based on Jesus Christ's crisis-handling methods, which are essential for any leader seeking to succeed in a multi-crisis era.

Shawanadese was the name bestowed on her when she was born into the prehistoric Anasazi tribe. Her fate seemed much like that of any other young girl until her magical powers began to erupt at the dawning of womanhood. It was then that a sacred name--Coyote Woman--was granted to her, a name that would come to identify her as a high priestess and draw the lustful and the faithful to her side. No one could have imagined the mystical charms of the high priestess, and nobody could have expected the force of attraction that would draw many men into her life. Shawanadese ignited a passion within the Mayan prince, the fiery rebel and the young warrior, and she engages in an epic struggle to defeat the sinister ways of man while maintaining her authority as the high priestess in the canyon of Chaco.

At the end of February 2020, Larry and Ann Thomas left their home in Issaquah, Washington, for a three-week vacation visiting family in Colorado and Texas. News of the coronavirus pandemic was slowly spreading. By the middle of March 2020 the world had changed and the global pandemic was in full swing. The Thomases decided to shelter in place in Flower Mound, Texas, for the next six weeks. On March 17, 2020, when Larry returned to his work as the interim pastor at Sammamish Hills Lutheran Church in Sammamish, Washington, it was from a makeshift office in Texas, not his office in Sammamish. Working remotely, Pastor Thomas began organizing weekly virtual prayer gatherings and Bible studies. In order to connect with the congregation, he started writing pastoral letters as a way of reflecting on the intersection of faith, hope, and love while living through the pandemic. Lily Packed a Facemask is a chronicle of one pastor's commitment to engage with a congregation during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Grounded in biblical texts, Thomas takes the threads of a variety of writers and contemporary resources and weaves a tapestry of living life faithfully in the midst of a year of constant changes and challenges.
