Book Description
Chronicling the Indian Premier League (IPL), India’s first sports league and the most controversial ever, this book explores the intricacies of the business and the acceptability of the IPL to take a closer look at the various scams that have plagued it. It is a blow-by-blow description of the highs, lows, and future of the IPL that has, possibly, redefined the way the rest of the world perceives India. It analyses what the league got right and what it has got wrong and why. And, what the IPL and its owner/promoter—the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)—could have done to sell the sport and build on the popularity of cricket in India, but didn’t. Analysing the spot-fixing scandal, the conflict of interest controversy, the specific issues concerning the teams, the complicated interplay between the BCCI and the IPL, this thought-provoking work brings to light many untold stories of cricket in India.

Book Description
Since Dexter's parents' death, he's been living with his aunt in her Scarborough apartment. Even though it's been two years, Dexter is still struggling to control his anger and so far the best way for him to do this is through sports. Then one day he snaps and attacks the pitcher during a baseball game, and Dex suddenly finds himself off the team. His aunt gives him two options: find another sports team, or go back to trombone lessons. But no other coach seems willing to give Dexter and his now-legendary temper a chance . . . Dexter's best friend, Atul, suggests that he try out for the school's cricket squad, but Dexter's not so sure. Despite his Carribean heritage, he knows almost nothing about cricket, and thinks it's a wimpy sport anyway. But Dex's batting skills make him a shoo-in, and to his surprise, he even starts to enjoy himself -- until the squad captain, jealous of Dex's natural skill, makes his life even more difficult than before.

Book Description
Cigarette Smoking, Alcohol Drinking & Selfless Loving cause intoxication to the Heart—isn’t it sounding familiar, yet new? Why are people addicted to smoking and drinking, despite the caution-sign of “causes cancer and kills”? Looking from their perspective, that caution sign might seem negligible because they might be experiencing something more painful than “getting killed”, yet they enjoy it! And isn’t that something related to “Heart”? The author will make you experience that ‘rarely recognized yet special feeling’ through the Hearts of Karthik and Seema, which makes you think “Love can cause intoxication yet it is worth enjoying!” It’s a story that started in the early 1990s when mobile phones were not handy, Facebook was still dreaming, and WhatsApp’s dream was not yet born. Love might seem to be “a beautiful Start” of life but when the same Love is seen as a “Destiny”, in pursuit of it, life’s journey becomes memorable! What are you waiting for! Grab your copy and read to know if such memories are worth cherishing.

Book Description
If you are raising a family, or planning to, then Down but Not Out should be a part of your growth strategy as a leader. Down but Not Out takes you through a practical process of finding your significance and role of taking deliberate leadership at home, highlighting success factors as well as factors that commonly derail relationships and precipitate strife. One of the most pressing issues facing the world now is the breakdown of the basic pillar of society, the family. We focus on being the best in our careers, businesses, and recreational pursuits. Years are spent in school and training to hone our skills and acquire greater and greater knowledge. We spend heavily to get expert certification. Yet, why do we invest so little time to prepare ourselves for the arduous expedition that is parenting? It is apparent on the level of insufficient preparedness parents have to lead in their own homes. Down but Not Out engages this critical discourse and shares a journey of joy, pain, fears, rejection, and finally triumph. It takes you through how you can become an effective leader wherever you are by starting small, at home. Down but Not Out is a blend of wisdom, experience, and humility. Every parent, and anyone who interacts with a family, should read this book with careful consideration. Authentic and transparent! A must-read for any parent that desires to empower their children to live a life of significance in a world filled with challenges. ~Barry Smith, Building What Matters (www.buildingwhatmatters.com) Intimately candid and bold. A reminder that hope still exists if parents deliberately train their children to grow in wisdom, stature and favour with God and man. ~Michael Oyier, psychologist, media practitioner, and founder/director at Serenity Life Coaching

Book Description
In "This Kind Goeth Not Out", Isaac Ashiofu shares that a powerful and personal testimony led to the creation of this transformative book. He describes how life can present challenges, and that they are designed to bring out the best in us, hence we must not be destined to drown in them. He notes that as redeemed children of God, we have access to redemptive blessings, yet they require wrestling against the wickedness that seeks to hinder our progress. This book reveals that Satan's interest in you signifies your significance in the grand scheme. But you must not fear, as the church is ordained to manifest the power of God, humbling the principalities and powers that stand in our way. According to the author, knowledge is the key to unlocking destiny and subduing the powers of darkness. By applying the revelations found in this book, you will gain entrance into a life-transforming testimony and overcome any enemy that dares to resist it.

Down But Not Out: Finding the Strength and Courage to Come Back By: Cameron Triplett Tough times hit us all. When they hit, how do we handle them? Down But Not Out: Finding the Strength and Courage to Come Back is the inspirational true story of Indy wrestler Cameron Valentine (better known to his friends and family as Cameron Triplett) and his miraculous recovery from a broken neck after a match gone wrong. A truly remarkable, faithful man, Cameron explains it best: I can honestly say that I don’t believe in luck. Luck is for Leprechauns. Now, I know that I’m about the same height as one (I stand in at a whoppin’ 5’ 6” tall), but I’m white… not green. So, I can’t tell you that I’m lucky, but I can tell you that I’m very blessed. God has been so good to me, and it’s my sincere prayer that this book portrays just that… HIS GOODNESS! This is a story of hope and encouragement. My neck (C3 and C4) was broken in the ring during a match with Scott Steiner, and it should’ve killed me instantly… at the very least, it should’ve left me paralyzed from the neck down. But my God had other plans. To my readers: I pray you find this book helpful in some way. God bless you! And so, with that in mind, sit back in your favorite chair and read Down But Not Out: Finding the Strength and Courage to Come Back, and be encouraged, inspired, and motivated.
