This is the remarkable story of the first stars of women's basketball. In the early 1970s, few women participated in organized athletics, but in Catholic Philadelphia, women's basketball was already a well-established, thirty-year tradition. In this vivid account of Immaculata basketball, Julie Byrne explores the unusual lives of these young women, the rare opportunities and pleasures they were allowed, their religious culture, and the broader ideas of womanhood that they inspired and helped redefine.

There is no more controversial subject than homosexuality. The primary argument has been over nature vs. nurture. Are homosexuals born that way? Dr. Clark Penrose has settled that argument with his discovery of the gay gene. Now the real controversy begins. Do parents have the right to prevent their child from being born gay? GALLANT (Gay And Lesbian Liberation And National Tolerance) is first out of the gate to file a lawsuit to stop Dr. Penrose. But they aren't the only ones. The Christian Way Organization objects to the procedure on the basis that once genetic tampering is allowed, it will never stop. Parents will be able to order up a baby like buying a new car. The fact that Dr. Penrose has found the gay gene puts the founder of CWO, Lucius Gaylord, in a quandary. He's been preaching for years that homosexuality is a sin. Can being gay really be a sin if one is born that way? Kurt Ford is an ambitious greenhorn attorney who's been chosen by the firm's senior partner to handle the Penrose case. Trouble is, Kurt Ford is gay. Does he choose to do his duty as an attorney and blindly represent his client, or does he have a bigger obligation to people of his own kind? It all plays out in a courtroom drama with twists and turns that continue even after the verdict is read.

This book gives biblical guidance on playing, watching, and discussing sports in a God-glorifying manner, helping believers grow in both their love for God and their passion for holiness. Scripture calls Christians to do everything for the glory of God. That means every thought, every word, and every deed are to be done in a way that brings pleasure and honor to him. Believe it or not, this includes playing, watching, and talking sports! But most of us fail to recognize how sports fit into the big picture of a God-glorifying life, unable to imagine that the God who created the universe might actually care about Little League games and Monday Night Football. So how do we play, watch, and talk sports for God's glory? Game Day for the Glory of God seeks to answer that question from a biblical perspective. Sports fan Stephen Altrogge aims to help readers enjoy sports as a gift from God and to see sports as a means of growing in godliness.

Paul, a religious teen living in a small conservative town, finds his world turned upside down when he meets Manuel—a young man who says he’s both Christian and gay, two things that Paul didn’t think could coexist in one person. Doesn’t the Bible forbid homosexuality? As Paul struggles with Manuel’s interpretation of the Bible, thoughts that Paul has long tried to bury begin to surface, and he finds himself re-examining his whole life. This is an unforgettable book on an extremely timely topic that strives to open minds on both ends of the spectrum.

The president of New York University offers a love letter to America’s most beloved sport and a tribute to its underlying spirituality. For more than a decade, John Sexton has taught a wildly popular New York University course about two seemingly very different things: religion and baseball. Yet Sexton argues that one is actually a pathway to the other. Baseball as a Road to God is about touching that something that lies beyond logical understanding. Sexton illuminates the surprisingly large number of mutual concepts shared between baseball and religion: faith, doubt, conversion, miracles, and even sacredness among many others. Structured like a game and filled with riveting accounts of baseball’s most historic moments, Baseball as Road to God will enthrall baseball fans whatever their religious beliefs may be. In thought-provoking, beautifully rendered prose, Sexton elegantly demonstrates that baseball is more than a game, or even a national pastime: It can be a road to enlightenment.
