None
Long Shot
The twelve-time All-Star catcher describes the inspiration he gleaned from his self-made father, his early career with the Dodgers, his memorable 2000 World Series with the Mets, and the controversies that have marked his career.
The Formless Substance
Mike brings us back to our inherited spiritual powers and helps us to ignite the miracle of the Holy Ghost and the Christ consciousness in our lives. The book shows us how to recover from our alliance on the lack of spiritual comfort from the law of attraction, or past mental sciences, to discovering the healing power of Gods water, and our ability to achieve spiritual greatness. I have read metaphysical literature for the past twenty-five years, but Mike Longs book quite literally breaks the mold and offers something totally unique for readers who are interested in using manifestation to change their lives. Longs cutting-edge blend of metaphysics and Christianity produces an eye-opening exp...
Long Time, No See
Long Time, No See is certainly an inspiring story, but Beth Finke does not aim to inspire. Eschewing reassuring platitudes and sensational pleas for sympathy, she charts her struggles with juvenile diabetes, blindness, and a host of other hardships, sharing her feelings of despair and frustration as well as her hard-won triumphs. Rejecting the label “courageous,” she prefers to describe herself using the phrase her mother invoked in times of difficulty: “She did what she had to do.” With unflinching candor and acerbic wit, Finke chronicles the progress of the juvenile diabetes that left her blind at the age of twenty-six as well as the seemingly endless spiral of adversity that follo...

Joe and Mike Cantillon
Joe and Mike Cantillon: Firebrands of Baseball is a true and inspirational story. The book tells the story of two first-generation Irish-American brothers from a struggling immigrant family. They rose from hardscrabble beginnings in Wisconsin to reach the upper echelons of baseball and achieve their baseball dreams in the major leagues.
