The Sweet Sixteen was written by Collegiate Men's Basketball coach Austin McBeth. With the increase in the popularity of sports, young men and women are learning a great deal about love and authority from coaches in today's culture. The impact that coaches at every level are leaving on their athletes is greater than it's ever been. McBeth's purpose in writing The Sweet Sixteen is to start the conversation about the abusive atmosphere coaches have created, by looking at what the Bible says about love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a talks about sixteen characteristics of love that McBeth breaks down to shine a light on the increasing misuse of such a powerful word and how coaches can begin to love their players in a way that will leave an impact long after their playing career has ended. Love is Patient Kind Does not envy It does not boast Is not proud Does not dishonor others Is not self-seeking Is not easily angered Keeps no record of wrongs Does not delight in evil Love rejoices in the truth Always protects Always trusts Always hopes Always perseveres Love never fails McBeth says, "Regardless of whether you consider yourself a Christian, the concepts in this book will help you become a more effective leader. The Sweet Sixteen is not only beneficial for coaches, but for parents, teachers and anyone in a leadership position." Becoming a Sweet Sixteen coach, parent, or leader will be one of the most challenging and rewarding things you will ever do. Be blessed as you read!

A spoiled party girl’s sweet sixteen gets hijacked by a magical visitor who takes her on a journey through the past and the choices that made her the person she is in this poignant novel from New York Times bestselling author Kate Brian perfect for fans of Afterlife of the Party and Do Revenge. Elite guest list. Vera Wang gown with matching Jimmy Choos. Charming tuxedo-clad boyfriend. Velvet rope. Teagan Phillips’s sweet sixteen is the event of the season. Other parties have been chill, sure, but no one at Rosewood Prep throws a bash as extravagant, exclusive, or over-the-top expensive as Teagan. No one is as obnoxious, either. But that doesn’t stop everyone from wanting to see and be seen at her birthday. Luckily, Teagan’s in for a rude (and rather ungraceful) awakening. On the big night she falls stilettos-over-tiara into the country club wine cellar and blacks out. When she comes to, there is a strange woman standing at the foot of the stairs. Teagan initially mistakes this mystery woman as one of the help, but the stranger’s true purpose is to take Teagan on a ride, bringing her back through time to show her some very unpretty realities. At the end of it all, if she’s lucky, Teagan and her visitor just might put the sweet back in sixteen…

In 1904, sixteen women travelled together by train to cover the St Louis World's Fair. The Sweet Sixteen traces the fateful ten-day trip that resulted in the formation of a professional club for the advancement of Canadian newspaper women. Drawing upon letters, journals, interviews, and most significantly, newspaper stories written by the women themselves, Linda Kay narrates the journey to St Louis with evocative detail. Delving into the group dynamics and individual experiences of these women, Kay explores the cultural divide between the Anglophone and Francophone members of the group and provides compelling biographical sketches of each woman's life and work. The Sweet Sixteen documents the struggles of a group of tenacious and talented women who, in 1904, did not have the right to vote, were not regarded as persons under the law, and were credentialed as journalists at a time when marriage and motherhood were considered a woman's one true calling. Their legacy -the Canadian Women's Press Club - is a testament to their daring.
