Book Description
He seemed to have it all—a beautiful family, a big house, and the celebrity that comes with being a star player in the National Football League. In the late 60s and early 70s, Danny Abramowicz was the toast of New Orleans, but as his Catholic faith faded into the background he felt alone and helpless against the temptations and expectations of fame. And so one day he called out that simple prayer: Lord, please help me! This book is about the answer to that prayer. Danny Abramowicz gives an inside view of his life in the NFL alongside the reinvigoration of his Catholic Faith and the development of a prayerful relationship with Jesus Christ. Join him on his journey from “cultural Catholic” to EWTN television host and evangelizer of Catholic men across the country. Even if you didn’t play and coach professional football with the likes of Archie Manning and Mike Ditka, you will find Danny’s down-to- earth telling of his story approachable and relatable. Most of all, Danny brings the hope of brotherhood in Christ to all men who have felt, or are now feeling, the despair of professional, personal, and spiritual failure. Our world needs courageous men of Christ to step into the breach, armed with the virtues of faith and love and hope. Learn about becoming a leader not just from Danny’s coaching experiences, but also from his work forming and sustaining men’s groups in nearly every city in which he has lived. Finally, in this book Danny presents his spiritual fitness workout—a time-tested way to build up the muscles of faith to go to spiritual battle in a hostile world.

Often times, we set goals for ourselves; 'I want to make more money, ' 'I want a better job, ' 'I want to lose weight, ' 'I want to start my own business, ' For a day, this goal seems attainable...until you intimidate yourself; you think of the work involved, the pressure, the people around you who may be holding you back...and sooner than you realize, that goal becomes an 'eventually' or a 'someday I will do this, ' that you throw into the back of your mind, where it collects dust... And you do this, idea after idea, goal after goal, all with the intent of I'll do it someday. Perhaps you've gotten to a point where you're tired of the eventualities; maybe you've realized the time is now, not later, not tomorrow, not next month...now.

Languages : en
Pages : 71
Book Description
This manual introduces a NEW sport modality called Leeway. It also explains in plain and simple terms everything you need to know in order to understand its rules for scoring system, substitution, disciplinary, start and re-start of the game, and offside rules. It also describes in detail the unique field markings used in Leeway.

Leeway also has a refined and more specific scoring system in points (not in goals) and substitution rules allowing more versatility for coaching strategies and rules that make it safer for goalkeeper and easier to Referees to determine offside position. And if all that were not enough it is more intense per minute of game played, no cooking the clock or avoid attacking to name a few differences from Soccer/Football. It has 17 color diagrams explaining all field rules necessary to play or understand the game. Enjoy your reading. Get to know Leeway and come to play or watch it. Once you know it, you will not want to go back to old and outdated sports.

Whether about morality or matters of doctrine, hundreds of questions a year are posed to the average priest, with vast spiritual significance hinging on each answer — conversions and reconversions, children's formation, the survival of marriages, new vocations to the priesthood, and the eternal destiny of those on their deathbeds. Yet there remain few good Q&A compendiums published over the past half century. In response to this need, Fr. John Trigilio and Fr. Ken Brighenti, hosts of EWTN's Web of Faith, draw on their years of pastoral experience to compile a comprehensive list of the best questions ever asked of them, responding to each with the same natural warmth, intellectual heft, and spiritual acuity that has earned them such a large international following.
