In this book, Olympian Jeff Galloway details how to set up a training program, how to monitor progress, and how to schedule each workout. Included are 52 weeks of daily journal entries, with data analysis tables.

Jack Galloway died in 1987, a year after his mother and two years after his wife, Alice. When Alice, my mother, died in 1985, he wasn’t sure what he’d do without her. I said, “Write. Write a book.” Of course, that suggestion was dismissed when he said he was no writer. In 2005 I wrote about an impending book in my “Up Close” column for a local newspaper. I told my readers my dad was a writer. He had written me letters through the years because I lived 500 miles away from him and Mom. I knew he could write. So I told him to write about each of the horses in his life. I rattled a few off , “Write about Patty Ann, Old Pal, Eagle, Darky and Spike or Harding,” I said. “Then write about the people you’ve known. There was Old Poke Kidder and Floyd Jones, to name a couple.” There are only three people left on earth who can read his writing. That’s my daughter, my sister and me. We hashed around getting the stories typed, organized and printed. My sister’s boys and my children knew Granddad Jack. The great-grandchildren did not, but maybe these stories will give them an inkling of the cowboy he was. Fast forward to today and you are holding a collection of Jack Galloway’s stories and poems in your hand. Putting this together is a tribute to the man who was one of the last of his generation of Sandhills cowboys. He was a personable man who could ride a horse, rope, sing, dance and, unknown to him, he could write. Enjoy his stories.

Temptation, the Player, the Game asks its readers a simple but maybe hard question, and that is, “Is wrong ever right?” Think before you answer. You may be wrong. What happens when you lose everything that matters to you? Family, your wealth, the confidence of your existence, and your will to live? Wonder if your faith has been challenged big time and the god you thought to be a friend was no longer a friend? Wonder if all your lifelines were gone, and there was no one to call for help in your time of real need? How would you feel to know that once, not too long ago, you were a multimillionaire and money, family, and life was real good? How would it feel to now be at your rock bottom, now staring at your doom? You want to live, but death’s on your back, and it’s a throwdown—who wins? Wonder if you received a call on a phone you thought to be disconnected, and on the other end is a call that may change your life? But it’s an old crime mate of yours. Do you answer or not? We explore all those questions and more with a lot of twists and turns as you journey along with the main characters, Shameek Johnson and Supreme Jackson, as they go from small time to big time too. I promise you will be surprised at the decision they will make to continue to exist. So again, Is wrong ever right? Buckle up. There is no speed limit here. Welcome to Temptation, the Player, the Game.

Godly Wisdom through Joyful Analogies pretty much speaks for itself. This inspirational book of analogies may catch you off guard or even enlighten you to the point of realization through all your little things and mishaps in life and may make you feel comforted that you’re not alone with these thoughts and feelings as others have had similar experiences before you had or after you went through life’s challenging and beautiful times. Through Tia’s walk with God daily, circumstances and situations that are sad, happy, exciting, and sometimes a bit strange hit her. Nevertheless, she felt the Lord through it all, touching, nudging, and inspiring her to write them down in this way while using certain common things in life that may be familiar to some but maybe not so to others, depending on the generation they grew up in. She admits there were times she pondered these many different aspects and things in life, sometimes before realizing this was God trying to reach her, to guide her through life, and to use the talents he gave her. It can be humorous enough in some parts to bring you a little or maybe even a big chuckle that will enlighten you with the generation that you didn’t know. Tia believes everyone with an open mind can always learn through all circumstances, situations, and even comical aspects in our life. As God brings all these characteristics to us, we know He can appreciate our humorous characteristics, as well. God uses our passions to bring about a whole new light in us, much in the same way as it is with the chess game that Tia enjoys so much. He uses trips we take, places we go, people we meet, even churches, a well-liked meal, and a meal not so liked (to explain just a little in detail). He also uses frustrations, happiness, and down moments. Our families play a big role in our lives one way or another whether we are active enough in recognizing one another’s feelings. This book is a book of hope and inspirations, with Tia’s joy through it all.

Suicide has become almost an epidemic in the United States, with an average of 523 adults and teens committing suicide every week. Yet the issue of suicide is something that many Americans have not felt capable of handling. Still, the questions arise: What are the spiritual implications of suicide? Is suicide the unpardonable sin? What does God say on this subject? The answers to these questions and a host of related ones are found in this book. The purpose of this book is to share God's truth about suicide and to comfort the hearts of those who mourn. My prayer is that everyone who reads this book will do so with an open heart, and with the mindset to discover the truth. Additionally, my prayer is that people will find peace through the liberation of the Word and will help others who are weary and heavy laden to find it also. front cover design by a'lexa's designs
