Many experts agree that becoming a "master" in any particular field or pursuit requires one to put in a minimum of 10,000 hours of deliberate practice in that area. It''s certainly true that it takes more than only time (e.g. proper technique; correct decisions about what specifically to be working on; etc.), but logging that much focused time will most definitely be beneficial to anyone striving to increase their abilities and realize their dreams. If you''re truly dead serious about that instrument you want to play professionally, or that art career you want, isn''t it time to step up your game, start tracking those hours, and do the work? This practice log/journal is the perfect tool for that purpose. You''ll be guided along page-by-page, prompted to enter details about each practice session, including the date, time and duration; your mood and/or energy level going into the session; goals for that specific practice stretch; and what went well/poorly. There will also be room to write additional notes about that particular session, or perhaps thoughts for the next one. Used daily, this log will help you record approximately three months'' worth of practices. Near the back of the book, you''ll find graphs that you can use to track your progress toward that 10,000-hour milestone. Throughout these pages, you''ll also find occasional journal pages, which will cue you to reflect and write your thoughts on a variety of matters related to the hard work you''re undergoing. Space will be reserved for you to list long-term goals, for your reference while working through this log, and for transferring into future logs that you move into. You should refer to this list as you plan goals and exercises for your individual practice sessions. After completely filling this log, enter your date range and total hour information in the spots designated for each on the front/back covers, and do the accompanying math to find your total accumulated hours. As you work through additional logs, this will give you a quick reference of what you''ve accomplished and how the progress you''re making toward that magical 10,000 hours!

The conclusion! Trickster demigod Puck has cut a swath of paranoia and destruction through Chicago, setting the White Court of Vampires against the Mob against the Police.

While Harry and Thomas struggle with why someone would frame the White Court for the murder of two girls, and "Gentleman" Johnny Marcone learns that one of his men has been assassinated, Karrin Murphy must confront the true source of all this chaos… alone! And while Murphy has always proved resourceful and tough as nails, her opponent is immortal, immensely powerful, and quite insane.

A mysterious supernatural threat has invaded the Windy City, commanding the attention of Harry Dresden. Yeah, yeah — what else is new? Well, this one seems to be able to instantaneously extract the life force of its victims… a very rare ability that compels Harry to seek an audience with Lara Raith, head of House Raith and the White Court. Meanwhile, another powerful Chicago faction is targeted…

Overcoming Stuff tells the captivating story of a near-death experience and God''s faithfulness to provide the strength to walk through the valley of death. This book shows God''s hand moving through the trials of a serious car accident and tells the story of God''s peace and comfort amid the trial. It then searches the scriptures for principles that God has established to give us victory over the stuff in our lives. May this story of one man''s experience and search for God richly bless your life and encourage you. May some of the principles God has shown through His Word and the application of those principles encourage you and give you strength in the face of the stuff of life. "I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). Overcoming Stuff was written to proclaim the truth that God has overcome the world and wants to give us victory over every situation in our lives so that we, too, can overcome stuff. First John 5:4 tells us that "everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith." So, as believers in Christ, we have already overcome the world and all the stuff in it. And if you have faith that Jesus is the Son of God and that God raised Him from the dead, then you can overcome anything with the grace you have received from God. Overcoming Stuff tells my story encourages you to overcome the stuff that opposes you through the grace that God will give you in your time of need. You don''t have to be afraid when stuff happens because God is ever-present and always bigger than anything that happens. "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make a way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry" (1 Corinthians 10:13-14).
