"This isn’t just a story about baseball. It’s about life and the beauty of knowing and accepting who you are.” —Jeff Passan, ESPN baseball columnist This fascinating book chronicles the unsung men of baseball who serve the job, the hardships they face, and their love for a game that would not always love them back―told partly through the experiences of an MLB veteran.u200b In baseball there are superstars and stars and everyday players and then there are the rest. Within the rest are role players and specialists and journeymen and then there are the backup catchers. The Tao of the Backup Catcher is about them, the backup catchers, who exist near the bottom of the roster and the end of the bench and between the numbers in a sport–and a society–increasingly driven by cold, hard analytics. The Tao of the Backup Catcher is a story of grown men who once dreamed of stardom and generational wealth. Instead, they were handed a broom and a deeper understanding of who wins and why, who stands tall and who folds, and who will invest their own lives in catching bullpens and the back ends of doubleheaders. Backup catchers survive in part because every team needs one. They are necessary, once or twice a week. They prosper because the game, like the world around the game, still needs good souls, honest efforts, open eyes and ears, closed mouths, compassion for the sad parts, a laugh for the silly parts, and a heart that knows the difference. Backup catchers are sports’ big brothers, psychologists, priests, witch doctors, player coaches, father figures and drinking buddies, all wrapped in a suit of today’s polycarbonate armor and yesterday’s dirt. They come with a singular goal–to win baseball games. They play for the greater good. After that, they play for themselves. A reverie on loving the grind and the little things baseball can teach us, The Tao of the Backup Catcher profiles Erik Kratz, Josh Paul, AJ Ellis, Bobby Wilson, Drew Butera, Matt Treanor, and John Flaherty to name a few. “This isn’t just a story about baseball. It’s about life and the beauty of knowing and accepting who you are.” ―Jeff Passan

A Christian''s ultimate goal is to be changed, to be transformed into the image of Jesus. But what does that look like? How is that accomplished? Jesus promised that the Father would send the Holy Spirit, Who when He had come, would indwell the believer and empower them to do His works. The ministry of the Spirit in the life of the saints is just as real and valid today as it was two thousand years ago!Part of the Spirit''s ministry is to enable the believer to speak in unknown tongues supernaturally. However, there is a great deal of confusion and controversy about this issue. There are varying opinions from one extreme to the other. One extreme says that tongues are of the devil, and though it once was in the Church, it has since passed away. Then there''s a more moderate view that says some may speak in tongues, but it''s not for everyone. Then there''s the other extreme that says unless you speak in tongues you aren''t really saved.On the other hand, many of those who do speak in tongues have made it seem spooky and have treated it like some kind of badge of honor, when, in fact, speaking in tongues is very practical and has tremendous value! What are we to do, then, with these extreme views? Does the Bible have anything to say about it? Should we give speaking in tongues prominence today, or should we throw it out like last week''s old banana peels?In "Unction and Utterance" Tim Brown takes a biblical and constructive approach to answer these questions about this controversial topic. In its pages, you''ll learn:*19 biblical reasons for speaking in tongues* Did the Early Church give prominence to speaking in tongues?* How can tongues benefit us today* Why God chose tongues as a means to accomplish His plan* And much more!

As he matures, he watches family members contend with Old Norm''s persistent insolence, while he learns that people are connected in ways that are hard to imagine.

The subject of “design thinking” is the rage at business schools, throughout corporations, and increasingly in the popular press—due in large part to the work of IDEO, a leading design firm, and its celebrated CEO, Tim Brown, who uses this book to show how the techniques and strategies of design belong at every level of business. The myth of innovation is that brilliant ideas leap fully formed from the minds of geniuses. The reality is that most innovations come from a process of rigorous examination through which great ideas are identified and developed before being realized as new offerings and capabilities. Change by Design explains design thinking, the collaborative process by which the designer’s sensibilities and methods are employed to match people’s needs, not only with what is technically feasible, but what is viable to the bottom line. Design thinking converts need into demand. It’s a human-centered approach to problem solving that helps people and organizations become more innovative and more creative. Introduced a decade ago, the concept of design thinking remains popular at business schools, throughout corporations, and increasingly in the popular press—due in large part to work of IDEO, the undisputed world leading strategy, innovation, and design firm headed by Tim Brown. As he makes clear in this visionary guide—now updated with addition material, including new case studies, and a new introduction—design thinking is not just applicable to so-called creative industries or people who work in the design field. It’s a methodology that has been used by organizations such as Kaiser Permanente, to increase the quality of patient care by re-examining the ways that their nurses manage shift change, or Kraft, to rethink supply chain management. Change by Design is not a book by designers for designers; it is a book for creative leaders seeking to infuse design thinking into every level of an organization, product, or service to drive new alternatives for business and society.
