Book Description
Mass media covered him from California to Georgia. Journalists reported him rescuing lives, mending broken hearts, thwarting crimes, perpetrating crimes, walking among ordinary people and uplifting them with words about life now and in the hereafter. But who was he? In great detail, he recited eye-witness accounts about John the Baptist; and, the tragedy at Calvary over 2,000 years ago. Photographs revealed that he wore sandals beneath a white robe and emerging long, dark hair. Some insisted he was Jesus, returned to Earth. But others blatantly disagreed. Tom Carter is a seven-time New York Times best-selling author who's collaborated with celebrities to write their autobiographies. He's written with Reba McEntire, Glen Campbell, Merle Haggard, Tammy Wynette, Ronnie Milsap, George Jones, Ralph Emery and many others. Carter has also written novels for Britney Spears and LeAnn Rimes. He recently wrote a life's lessons book for Jason Aldean, the Academy of Country Music's "Entertainer of the Decade." For four years, Carter (and his wife, Janie) traveled two continents to write for Feed The Children, a nonprofit charity that fed 600,000 youngsters daily. In the Flesh is Carter's first faith-based novel.

Think Like a Fish
Author: Tom Mann
Publisher: Broadway
ISBN: 9780767909952
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Tom Mann is an American original. Growing up in Depression-era Alabama, for him fishing was more than a recreational activity-it was a way of putting dinner on the table. Following his father's simple advice, "to catch fish, you have to find fish," six-year-old Tom came up with an innovative way of finding the drop-offs in a creek where fish seek refuge from predators. As a young teenager, he began to design and craft special lures, always with an eye toward tricking the freshwater dean of the deep-the largemouth bass. Tom's innate talent in outsmarting the competition above and below the waterline quickly took him from local hero to three-time world bass fishing champion to living legend. He also tapped into his skill for designing lures, building a multi-million-dollar enterprise that has sold over one billion lures to date in major sporting goods and fishing retailers around the world, all with his smiling face on the packages. Yet despite the prestige and fame of a forty-year career, he still resides where it all began-deep in the heart of the South. Filled with touching childhood stories and hilarious down-home fisherman's lore, "Think Like a Fish reveals how Mann quite literally learned to "think like a fish." He explains the technique and mindset that enable him to lure a fish from thirty yards away into a circle the size of a hula hoop; how he "trains" bass to jump right into his boat; and how he purportedly managed to lure a shark to shore with rod and reel. But in addition to the fishing techniques and words of wisdom, Mann explores the path that got him where he is today-a poignant story of determination, Southern grit, and good-ole-boy charm. Full of gentle humor andwit, this book brings to life the allure of the South and one of its favorite pastimes.
