    The Damascene is an in-depth fictional expansion of the Old Testament's II Kings 5, which contains what may be the very first beauty-and-the-beast-like story. Personal transformation, whether physical or spiritual, is not initially sought by the main character, but he nevertheless experiences it on more than one level. Other characters as well are subjected to their own trials, some with which we all might identify. Infused with deep sensuality and spotted with bloody battles and suspenseful incidents of personal survival, this novel also offers a few moments of comic relief without diverting from its portrayal of true love graphically contrasted with lust, of personal weakness on a collision course with friendship and duty, of tribalism challenged by individualism, and of worldly skepticism in confrontation with the very idea that spiritual power may actually exist.

    Doctor Oscar Sample, Professor of Early Christianity, a former NFL player, is confronted with this conundrum when a young priest arrives one evening at his office. At first, Sample scoffs at the first couple of pages, thinking that they were either purloined or fake. After closer examination, he realizes that the pages contain three languages - Greek, Medieval Latin and perhaps a version of Hebrew or Aramaic. Sample gets the priest to explain that he'd uncovered the cache at the Archbishopric in New Orleans. Sample has a photographer, a gridiron nemesis, to carefully photograph each page. He asks his graduate student to examine the copies. They appear truly ancient, perhaps first century CE.Sample recruits a well-known Jewish scholar, an expert in paper technologies and an expert in written antiquities to decide whether the documents are real. If so, what do the messages reveal?. The parchment and the inks are eighth century Celtic. The group concludes that they are probably practice pages done by monastery scribes. As the translations evolve the group discusses the source of these documents and their authorship and meaning. Are these the writings of religious members at the beginning of Christianity? Before the group can decide how to disseminate the information, one by one the members die under unusual circumstances.

    When I began my career as an Athletic Director in 2000, I started the practice of writing an email to my coaches every Monday calling it "Thought of The Week." The goal was to simply encourage coaches, offer hope and possibly provide a few ideas to help them build their programs. Unconditional Coaching is a partial collection of those emails, providing you with one lesson for each week of the year (52). I certainly do not know it all, and many of these lessons come from mistakes that I made personally as a coach, so learn from them if you can. Some things you may agree with, some you may not, even still, take a little time once a week to think creatively, and challenge yourself in becoming better. Coaching is a great profession, and to say coaches shape America is not an understatement. Coaches have the unique opportunity to influence an athlete's life in the most dramatic ways that can last a lifetime. The most meaningful coaches are the ones that coach unconditionally, by not letting wins and losses get in the way of putting kids first. I made multiple mistakes as a coach, and to this day I still have regret in the way I handled some situations and players. I pulled stunts that coaches are getting fired for today, but you live and learn. All I do know for certain is that my intent was sincere at the time, and that is the best I can do in explaining it. I hope you enjoy the lessons, they all come from my experiences as a coach, Athletic Director, parent, spouse, son, athlete, and a humble member of the human race. Remember, never correlate a coach's win/loss record or title to the level of influence they can have on their players. Some of the most significant coaches in kids' lives never became a head coach or won a State Championship. Regardless of where you are coaching today, you have the opportunity to influence lives. Although winning is much more enjoyable than losing, focus on building champions first, and your career will be full of success. Without question, the most sustaining victories in this business will never appear in a W/L/ record, but they certainly do count. It is possible that you can become the most positive and significant influence in a kid's life, what other profession can boast that? Win or lose, influence is going to happen. Don't take that lightly.

    The author began to encounter lost souls through the veil in early childhood. Of course, at first, she was frightened. But over time, she learned that the energy flowing through the veil flows both ways, back and forth, between heaven and earth as we give and receive. As she learned to assist lost souls in their journeys back to their eternal home, other souls began to assist her in her spiritual quest for healing and restoration from an emotionally difficult childhood and a better way of being on this earth. She began to realize the tremendous magnitude of love, insight, and healing that flows to us through the veil, if we are willing to receive it. The author also includes explanations of the variety of ways we might tap into the language of the eternal for better understanding, clarity, and confidence in our interactions with those who have gone before us. Today she considers these supernatural encounters to be a miraculous blessing beyond belief. Now, after a lifetime of silence about her "out of this world" experiences, the author finally decided it was time to share what she has gained on this path that leads to healing, love, joy, and trust. She has hope that her story, as unbelievable as it may seem, will be an inspiration and a benefit to others in their own journeys on this earth.
