Book excerpt: •SHORTLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2022• •A SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE TIMES AND THE GUARDIAN• The remarkable untold story of the mercurial cycling prodigy Frank Vandenbroucke, written by William Hill award-winning author Andy McGrath. They called him God. For his grace on a bicycle, for his divine talent, for his heavenly looks. Frank Vandenbroucke had it all, and in the late Nineties he raced with dazzling speed and lived even faster. The Belgian won several of cycling's most illustrious races, including Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Paris-Nice and Ghent-Wevelgem. He was a mix of poise and panache who enthralled a generation of cycling fans. Off the bike, he only had one enemy - himself. Vandenbroucke dabbled in nocturnal party sessions mixing sleeping pills and alcohol and regularly fell out with team managers. By 1999 his team had suspended him and this proved to be the start of a long, eventful fall from grace. Depression, a drug ban, addiction, car crashes, divorce and countless court appearances subsumed his life. He threatened his wife with a gun. He tried to commit suicide twice. And when police found performance-enhancing drugs at his house, Vandenbroucke said they were for his dog. It seemed he had finally learned from his mistakes. Then, on 12 October 2009, aged just 34, Vandenbroucke was found dead in a hotel room in Senegal. Guided by exclusive contributions from his family, friends and team-mates, William Hill award-winning author Andy McGrath lays bare Vandenbroucke's chaotic, complicated life and times. God is Dead is the remarkable biography of this mercurial cycling prodigy.

Book excerpt: It's Christmas Eve. Nina Martino relishes having her Italian-American family gathered around the dinner table in her Florida home, enjoying their traditional Italian feast. The music and wine combine to create a harmonious, joyful atmosphere, one that Nina loves. Then she gets an unexpected phone call from her estranged father. There goes the party... A once powerful air-traffic controller and ruthless union leader, Joey Martino is a shadow of his former self, living in a small apartment in the Bronx with hardly two nickels to his name. But Nina remembers all too vividly those tumultuous, sometimes violent years of her childhood, and she and her father's relationship has only deteriorated further since then. Unfortunately, Joey has some news for his daughter that puts an entirely different spin on things: he is dying of cancer. What follows is an extraordinary story of a father-daughter relationship strained by time and memory, yet ripe for forgiveness and a new beginning. Through Nina and Joey's eyes, A Wasted Life dramatically reveals the regret of forgotten dreams and shows how family shapes our very being.

Download or read book Time Talent Energy written by Michael C. Mankins and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2017-02-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing Your Scarcest Resources Business leaders know that the key to competitive success is smart management of scarce resources. That's why companies allocate their financial capital so carefully. But capital today is cheap and abundant, no longer a source of advantage. The truly scarce resources now are the time, the talent, and the energy of the people in your organization--resources that are too often squandered. There's plenty of advice about how to manage them, but most of it focuses on individual actions. What's really needed are organizational solutions that can unleash a company's full productive power and enable it to outpace competitors. Building off of the popular Harvard Business Review article "Your Scarcest Resource," Michael Mankins and Eric Garton, Bain & Company experts in organizational design and effectiveness, present new research into how you can liberate people's time, talent, and energy and unleash your organization's productive power. They identify the specific causes of organizational drag--the collection of institutional factors that slow things down, decrease output, and drain people's energy--and then offer a pragmatic framework for how managers can overcome it. With practical advice for using the framework and in-depth examples of how the best companies manage their people's time, talent, and energy with as much discipline as they do their financial capital, this book shows managers how to create a virtuous circle of high performance.

Download or read book God s Triple Threat written by Greg Carlson and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is destroying the kingdom of darkness. God equips and deploys us, his saints, in this magnificent campaign. But the Almighty does not arm us from just a single arsenal of gifts, as is commonly supposed. Instead, he draws from three distinct arsenals: abilities, leaders, and the charismatic gifts. The triune God gives triune gifts. What are these gifts, what are they like, and how do they work? These three arsenals differ profoundly from one another. But the church has not truly discerned this, and so a fog of confusion has enveloped the whole subject. Confusion brings futility and frustration; clarity brings effectiveness and fulfillment. Who gives the gifts, and to whom? When are they given? Are the gifts natural, supernatural, or both? Can any Christian operate in any gift? Where do the gifts live? Can you use them at any time? Can you operate in God's gifts at will? The answers may surprise you. God's Triple Threat, An Inquiry into the Spiritual Gifts works carefully step by step to bring clarity to this often confusing subject with exuberant illustrations for application. Author Greg Carlson prays that the vision in this book will become a reality in his lifetime. So the clock is ticking for you and your church to more fully experience the dynamic of God's threefold gifts.
