While riding at the 2008 National High School Finals in Farmington, NM, seventeen-year-old Corbin wanted to bring the national champon bull riding title back to his hometown of Jonesville, LA. With a score on one bull, another score would surely place him in a position to win but the bull, M33, changed this cowboy's plans. After six seconds into the ride, Corbin was thrown, and a blow from the bull's back leg broke Corbin's neck leaving him totally paralyzed with little hope he would ever walk again. This is a true story of my son, Corbin Carpenter, and his miraculous recovery from an injury that was supposed to leave him in a wheelchair for life. Corbin's faith in God's healing power, along with his determination brought him from total paralysis to roping cattle again in less than seven months after the injury. The struggles and set backs during recovery proved only a stepping stone to how Corbin is using this life changing event to help change the world, one testimony at a time.

Daniel Ponce de Leon's hard-fought journey to Major League Baseball and recovery from a near-death injury, followed by his astonishing big league debut, will inspire readers to trust God in all circumstances. ​ ​The path you take to achieving your dreams is not always easy. Daniel Ponce de Leon, an acclaimed pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, overcame many challenges to get to the Major Leagues. Drafted four times, he spent a long four years climbing his way up through the minors before finally reaching AAA, only one step away from the Major Leagues. Then, Daniel's dream was almost shattered when he was struck in the head by a line drive. Spending weeks in the hospital and months recovering from a large epidural hematoma, skull fracture, brain swelling, and hemorrhaging, Daniel held on to his belief that he would one day realize his dream. Fourteen months later, and fully recovered, he made his first Major League start, becoming the fifth pitcher in modern Major League history to throw seven innings of no-hit ball in his first outing. MLB.com referred to it as one of the greatest debuts in Major League Baseball history. In One Line Drive, Daniel retells his remarkable journey, sharing how he never would have made it without his faith in God and the support of family and friends. Full of grit, determination, and faith, Daniel's story is an inspiring reminder to keep pressing on regardless of any setback or disappointment.

In this provocative and incisive memoir, Peter Theroux reveals the Middle East only as a true insider can. Stationed as a journalist in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for most of his seven years in the region, Theroux explodes the romantic images of Arabia, but replaces them with the even more intriguing reality of fanatic Muslims, overwhelmingly rich and powerful royal families, and the vast gulf in understanding between Arabs and westerners.
