Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fun friendships, high school romance, and intense competition are at the heart of book one in Tamara Girardi's swoon-worthy, young-adult contemporary series. Julia Medina, dubbed Jules by her closest friends, wants to be the new, starting quarterback of Iron Valley High School's football team, and no one is going to stand in her way. That is-until her boyfriend, Owen Malone, steps up to the challenge. Wanting to maintain her relationship with her boyfriend, Jules is torn. But while Owen is in her heart, football is in her blood. Once the idea takes root to quit her championship volleyball team and join the leagues of Iron Valley's toughest teenage boys, there's no stopping Jules from pursuing her dream. In her mind, expectations that the position will go to a male player have gone on long enough, and, even as her decision creates controversy among the booster parents, school coaches, family members, and team members themselves, Jules holds strong in her beliefs. Which is good-because when parents hear that Jules plans to participate in overnight pre-season camp with a staff of male coaches and eighty high school boys, her tryout is threatened more than ever before. Yet, nobody can deny Jules' skills. As the youngest sister of three former high school quarterbacks, Jules knows the game. She knows what it takes to outsmart opponents, and she's not about to let anyone count her out for being a girl. But as the competition intensifies, Jules must choose what she wants more-to embrace girl power and lead her team on the field, or be a girlfriend on the sidelines. Gridiron Girl will inspire you to follow your vision, instead of those dictated by others. Perfect for fans of Better than Perfect by Simone Elkeles and On the Fence by Kasie West.

Or how the fiery Jackie Robinson silently endured a torrent of abuse in order to break baseball's "colar barrier."

And learn how the African-American sports heroes of the past helped pave the way for superstars of the present, such as Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods, and Candace Parker. Book jacket.

Hephzibah, mistress of a large plantation on South Carolina's Edisto Island, gave birth to fifteen children.

Force of character and a profound sense of justice were the hallmarks of Hephzibah's life. This is her remarkable story.

She is the author of "Bless God and Take Courage: The Judson History and Legacy," "We've a Story to Tell: 125 Years of WMU," and other books and articles. She speaks at churches, retreats and conferences. Hunt and her husband live in Guntersville, Alabama. "In the story of Hephzibah Jenkins Townsend, we see the true meaning of sacrificial giving and the power of one voice to change our culture and world." - Wanda Lee, Executive Director, Woman's Missionary Union, Southern Baptist Convention "The wonderful research and the intriguing way Rosalie Hall Hunt shares Hephzibah's story will encourage you in your service. May we all be found as faithful as Hephzibah." - Linda Cooper, President, Woman's Missionary Union, Southern Baptist Convention "There is no way to overestimate the importance of Hephzibah to the history of Baptist women in missions, and there is no way to really understand Hephzibah's story without the master storyteller Rosalie Hall Hunt." - Ruby Fulbright, Vice President, North American Baptist Women's Union
