Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of how a group of talented volleyball players learned to put their egos aside, became a team, and changed the sport of volleyball forever. In the early 1980s, a golden generation of volleyball players joined the U.S. men’s national team. With the Olympics coming to Los Angeles in 1984, the pressure was on to build a winning program around these exceptional athletes. But could a group of individuals put aside their egos and play as a true team to achieve Olympic gold in their home country? In If Gold Is Our Destiny: How a Team of Mavericks Came Together for Olympic Glory, Sean P. Murray shares the incredible story of how a group of free-spirited players and their demanding coach captured the heart of a nation and became one of the greatest indoor volleyball teams of all time. As the team struggled leading up to the Olympics, head coach Doug Beal mandated a highly controversial three-week Outward Bound hike across one hundred miles in the Canyonlands and Abajo Mountains in Utah. Murray details all the internal strife and heartwarming triumphs from this unprecedented trip, as players and coaches learned to cooperate and trust one another. He reveals how the team used this newfound trust to implement an innovative approach to volleyball that changed not only their success on the court but the sport itself on a global scale. Featuring original interviews with players, coaches, and staff, along with a foreword by three-time gold medal champion Karch Kiraly, If Gold Is Our Destiny delivers an inside look at what it takes for a group of talented individuals to overcome their differences, build a culture of excellence, and become the best in the world.

Download or read book Pathways to Our Destiny in God written by Jill Shannon and published by Manifest Publications. This book was released on 2022-07-08 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our soul is our most precious possession. What would a man give for his soul? Do we need to intentionally nurture our soul and protect it from harm and defilement? Can a broken soul be fully restored? The pathways of our soul are a vast network of voluntary choices. The Lord has given us freewill, but not every path will lead to the desired outcome. How do we guard our paths? In this compassionate analysis of these troubled times, Jill shares about the wounds of abuse, deceptively-marketed opioids, sexual predation, and cruel injustices that seem to go unpunished. Many have been led away from their original calling and have been diverted to destructive paths. There is healing for victims of abuse. Knowing the depths of the Lord’s covenantal love and determination, our futures will be restored and aligned with God’s original purposes. The Lord is a loving Shepherd. His leadership is perfect, and He will lead us into paths of righteousness. He will restore our souls! The Lord has predestined us to be conformed to the full maturity of our Messiah (Rom.8:28-30, Eph.4:13-14). The Lord is weaving a glorious destiny for each of our lives, before time began. We are His workmanship. When His tapestry is complete, we will know the joy of having run our race well, in the completion of His purposes for our priceless soul.
