The study opens with the analysis done so far on sports poetry, articulates methods of approach, and gives a brief history of sports poetry, beginning with victory chants around the tribal campfire. From Thayer's ""Casey at the Bat"" to Gibb's ""Listening to the Ballgame,"" the body of the work is organized thematically by sport: baseball, football, basketball, women's sports, and minor sports such as golf, racquet sports, and boxing. The study concludes with a chapter on poems about fans and spectators and a summary of the study's arguments. Each section gives detailed readings of many poems.

Residual guilt from the encounter is quickly dissipated by the police who assure Richard that he was acting in self-defence and therefore cannot be held accountable for the murder.

Everyone starts out life relying on others. Usually, these are family members, and it's not uncommon for people to depend on them well into their twenties. But ultimately people must search for something more meaningful. The fortunate ones move toward caring for others, an impulse that is part of the DNA that God planted in humanity. This group includes people such as Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Schweitzer, and many others, some of whom are featured in this book. Author Don Johnson admires these people because they made a conscious choice to care for others. It is the same decision he made years ago when he was struggling to find a direction in life. After a lot of prayer and soul-searching, he decided to become a minister. In God's Implanted DNA, Johnson recalls what it was like growing up in a Baptist family and then starting a family of his own; he also shares his thoughts on God's teachings. Join him as he explores how much good can result when people give themselves up for the sake of others to find true happiness.

The author Evangelist Ann M. Sewell contends in her book, How Were You Baptized, that among the sacraments, baptism is exceedingly important - for it is a visible sign of invisible grace instituted for our justification. The author's traces the history of baptism through Scripture references and concluded that evidence shows the preeminence of baptism by immersion. According to the authors, in the year A.D. 28, about the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius, John the Baptist introduced the practice of total immersion in water as the proper procedure for baptism. It was a sign to prepare the people for the great movement associated with the coming of the Messiah. How Were You Baptized? is a thoroughly researched and documented investigation of an important sacrament that places in its proper Scriptural perspective. The work, How Were You Baptized? is being forwarded by Elder Don Johnson and Evangelist Charlene P. Johnson. It's our prayer that the reader becomes instructed and inspired as there soul becomes spiritually awakened. It is also our hope that the reader will accept the water immersion baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ as an essential part of New Testament salivation.

Niagra Falls police detective and Iraq war veteran John Dromoor is flagged down by a 12 year old girl after she witnesses her mother, Teena, being brutally attacked and left for dead by a group of local men.

When the men are caught, their parents hire slick criminal defence attorney Jay Kirkpatrick, who puts the focus on Teena's credibility, based on her sobriety and promiscuity. Shockingly her assailants are exonerated and released, even though the daughter's testimony should have alone been enough for a certain conviction. In the aftermath of the verdict, Dromoor grows increasingly close to the victim and her family, who he then discovers are being taunted and stalked by the freed men. The injustice becomes too much for him to take and fuelled by a sense of vengeance and his own personal demons, Dromoor sets out on a lone campaign to serve the justice the men deserve.

Based on the novel Rape: A Love Story by Joyce Carol Oates.
