Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: November 8, 2011, felt like an ordinary day to Julia Cavatelli as she left work. It turned out anything but ordinary, however. An unexpected event and her encounter with I. M. Travis (Travis) started a series of changes no one could have predicted, and perhaps few would have believed. Struggles on her enlightening journey challenged Julia, robbed her happiness, and would have left her a fraction of her former self if not for the intersection of unexpected variables. The person responsible for Julia's changes fought to find peace after his ill-fated actions. He viewed his subsequent personal tragedies the result of how he wronged Julia and others. Although he once deemed his image tarnished and his life a mess, he persevered thanks to an unexpected source of strength. Julia's husband, a pragmatic man with a strong sense of fairness, intended to address both Julia and her offender. He sought to lift Julia from a life of self-pity and daily doldrums to a sense of worth and potential, and to get even with the man who caused her-no, his and Julia's problems and unhappiness. After months of scheming and discovery, and after a chance encounter of his own, Gino Cavatelli plays an integral role in Travis's, not his, plan. The mysterious Travis, a servant of people in need worldwide, allowed time to pass and learning to occur before interceding. Eventually, he used seemingly unrelated events to reveal the truth about grace and forgiveness. Based in part on a real-life event, and filled with a lifetime of learning, I. M. Travis will inspire you to see the world differently and to seek the best in everyone. Travis, first introduced in A Gun and Cherries in the Bucket of Blood, would have it no other way.

Download or read book Science and the Mind of the Maker written by Melissa Cain Travis and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are We an Accident...or Not? The question of cosmic origins and our place in the grand scheme of things has been debated for millennia. Why do we exist? Why does anything exist at all? Today's popular narrative, based on advancements in science, is that it all happened by natural, random processes. Melissa Cain Travis points to powerful evidence that the opposite is true—that cosmology, astronomy, biochemistry, and other disciplines strongly support what she calls "The Maker Thesis," which explains the origin, rationality, and intricacy of nature and the human mind's capacity to comprehend it. Our universe is made up of numerous complex systems of order that both interact and coexist with each other as if in a carefully choreographed dance. Follow along on a fascinating journey about how the structure of nature and the mind of man resonate in ways that point to a Maker who fully intended the astounding discoveries being made in the natural sciences today.

Download or read book The MVP Machine written by Ben Lindbergh and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Move over, Moneyball -- this New York Times bestseller examines major league baseball's next cutting-edge revolution: the high-tech quest to build better players. As bestselling authors Ben Lindbergh and Travis Sawchik reveal in The MVP Machine, the Moneyball era is over. Fifteen years after Michael Lewis brought the Oakland Athletics' groundbreaking team-building strategies to light, every front office takes a data-driven approach to evaluating players, and the league's smarter teams no longer have a huge advantage in valuing past performance. Lindbergh and Sawchik's behind-the-scenes reporting reveals: How undersized afterthoughts José Altuve and Mookie Betts became big sluggers and MVPs How polarizing pitcher Trevor Bauer made himself a Cy Young contender How new analytical tools have overturned traditional pitching and hitting techniques How a wave of young talent is making MLB both better than ever and arguably worse to watch Instead of out-drafting, out-signing, and out-trading their rivals, baseball's best minds have turned to out-developing opponents, gaining greater edges than ever by perfecting prospects and eking extra runs out of older athletes who were once written off. Lindbergh and Sawchik take us inside the transformation of former fringe hitters into home-run kings, show how washed-up pitchers have emerged as aces, and document how coaching and scouting are being turned upside down. The MVP Machine charts the future of a sport and offers a lesson that goes beyond baseball: Success stems not from focusing on finished products, but from making the most of untapped potential.

Book excerpt: My Omaha Obsession takes the reader on an idiosyncratic tour through some of Omaha’s neighborhoods, buildings, architecture, and people, celebrating the city’s unusual history. Rather than covering the city’s best-known sites, Miss Cassette is irresistibly drawn to strange little buildings and glorious large homes that don’t exist anymore as well as to stories of Harkert’s Holsum Hamburgers and the Twenties Club. Piecing together the records of buildings and homes and everything interesting that came after, Miss Cassette shares her observations of the property and its significance to Omaha. She scrutinizes land deeds, insurance maps, tax records, and old newspaper articles to uncover a property’s singular story. Through conversations with fellow detectives and history enthusiasts, she guides readers along her path of hunches, personal interests, mishaps, and more. As a longtime resident of Omaha, Miss Cassette is informed by memories of her youth combined with an enduring curiosity about the city’s offbeat relics and remains. Part memoir and part research guide with a healthy dose of colorful wandering, My Omaha Obsession celebrates the historic built environment and searches for the people who shaped early Omaha.
