Mastering pickleball isn't just about drills; it’s about harmony—balancing patience with aggression, power with touch, and the physical with the mental. The Tao of Pickleball teaches you to find your flow, stop losing to yourself, and start winning from the inside out. The Tao of Pickleball is not another basic instruction manual. In Chinese philosophy, "Tao" means "The Way"—the path to harmony and mastery. This book reveals that path for pickleball by translating the rigorous discipline of martial arts (Karate, Tai Chi) into a complete performance system.

Far from being an engaging fable, the account of Job in the Bible is one of the most historically and scientifically accurate records of the ancient world. Perhaps the oldest book in the Bible, the Book of Job touches on many subjects of science and history. This commentary on the controversial Book of Job is very different from most of the seminary and church teachings so prevalent today, for it attests to the historicity of a man named Job who understood at the end of his life that God cannot be "figured out", but He can most certainly be trusted.

Although William Morris is known primarily as a designer, he was also a writer of poetry and prose. The novel News from Nowhere (subtitled An Epoch of Rest Being Some Chapters from a Utopian Romance) is his best-known prose work and describes a humane socialist future as experienced by William Guest, who is transplanted there from the 19th century. Set in London and Oxfordshire, the novel takes place in 2090, over a century after a revolutionary upheaval. It remains a distinctive literary contribution to the concept of the utopian ideal.
