  Stay In The Game

  $24.99

  If you want to make an impact, you need to play every down. Every Game. Every Season.

  For ten seasons, Matt Forte was one of the NFL’s premier running backs. During his tenure with the Chicago Bears and the New York Jets, Matt made two Pro Bowl appearances and racked up more career rushes, receptions, and yards from scrimmage than any other football player in the league, a feat made possible in part, because–as an every-down back–Matt never left the field.

  No matter the down or distance, Matt always stayed in the game, running, catching, and blocking his way into the record books.

  Now, in Stay in the Game, Matt shares the highs and lows of his storied career–from the first time he put on pads at age 7 in Slidell, Louisiana, his college days at Tulane University, and his decade of dominance in the NFL, to the difficult decision to hang up his cleats at age 32, and the work he is currently doing to mentor professional athletes and stop gun violence on the streets of Chicago.

  Along the way, Matt gives readers a rare insider’s perspective on:

  *what it takes to make it as an athlete at the collegiate and professional level
  *what it’s like to go through the recruiting process, the combine, and draft day
  *his most memorable plays, games, teammates, and coaches
  *the faith that helped get him through, and
  *what every athlete needs to know about life after professional sports

  A thoroughly compelling and inspiring read, Stay in the Game is a testament to the perseverance and grit it takes to succeed, endure, and make a lasting impact both in the NFL and in life.

How can we help raise our sons to handle difficult emotions and process complex ideas of masculinity? Drawing from 25 years of counseling boys and working with parents, David Thomas explains what’s behind these and other common struggles such as anger issues, anxiety, and depression. In all, parents will be equipped to raise emotionally strong and healthy boys who will grow up to be rooted in practices of well-being that will serve them their whole lives.

  Intentional Parenting : Autopilot Is For Planes

  $18.99

  This is about you, not just your child.

  Regardless of age, parenting requires a certain amount of uncertainty. But you can be certain that your children look to you to help them discover who they are. And you can only offer that to the degree that YOU know who you are.

  Over the years, Sissy Goff, David Thomas, and Melissa Trevathan have helped countless families through their ministry known as Daystar Counseling in Nashville, TN. Due to the unique setup of Daystar, each is frequently counseling not only the child but the parent as well. Having both perspectives provides an opportunity to speak into some of the most common struggles that parents face in today’s fast-paced society.

  Intentional Parenting is built around 12 chapters that each dispel some of the most common parenting myths and reminds all parents of truths that can empower them to be not only the parents that their children need but that God has called them to be.

  The book helps you discover first who you are and then takes that healthy person into a discovery of being more intentional, playful, consistent, merciful, and connected to your children.

  Understanding your child. Understanding you.
