  Road To J O Y

  $19.99

  Scott Drew, head basketball coach of the NCAA National Championship-winning Baylor Bears, rebuilt a program mired in scandal by instilling a culture of putting Jesus first. More than a book about basketball, this is a road map for leading with, and living out, your faith in any context–in sports, in business, and in life.

  Nearly seventeen million viewers tuned into the 2021 NCAA National Championship to see the Baylor Bears, led by head coach Scott Drew, beat the top-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs, who were undefeated heading into the championship game. The win was Baylor’s first National Championship–the culmination of the biggest turnaround in college sports history.

  When Drew accepted the head coaching position at Baylor in 2003, the job was arguably the worst in all of college sports. The men’s basketball team had been disgraced by scandal: one player murdered a teammate, and the head coach who lied about the details tried to conceal illegal cash payments to his players, including a false allegation that the murdered player had been dealing drugs. It was an unprecedented story and a national embarrassment. Still, Coach Drew had a confident vision of what the program could be, even in the face of such adversity, and he guided his team to the pinnacle of success while leading with, and living out, his faith.

  The Road to J.O.Y. shares:

  *Biblical principles that have helped Coach Scott Drew lead well through challenging times

  *An insider’s look at the others-first culture that spurred Baylor’s rebound

  *Coach’s wisdom for investing in others and creating a successful organization

  *The leadership lessons Drew has learned from growing up in a famous basketball family and years of coaching

  *How faith is the foundation for everything Drew does

  With equal parts inspirational memoir and personal and professional growth, The Road to J.O.Y. is perfect for anyone who is looking to better live out their faith, lead a team, achieve a goal, or mentor others.

  Starting And Closing

  $17.99

  John Smoltz was one of the greatest Major League pitchers of the late twentieth/early twenty-first century-one of only two in baseball history ever to achieve twenty wins and fifty saves in single seasons-and now he shares the candid, no-holds-barred story of his life, his career, and the game he loves in Starting and Closing. A Cy Young Award-winner, future Baseball Hall of Famer, and currently a broadcaster for his former team, the Atlanta Braves, Smoltz delivers a powerful memoir with the kind of fascinating insight into game that made Moneyball a runaway bestseller, plus a heartfelt and truly inspiring faith and religious conviction, similar to what illuminates each page of Tim Tebow’s smash hit memoir, Through My Eyes.
