Sinopse

“One of the most open and honest and thought-provoking books on the effect addiction and alcohol can have on the career and life of a county cricketer.” —Deep Extra Cover 
 
The truth is that professional sports are a breeding ground for addictive behavior. 
 
Luke Sutton is a business owner and successful agent to sporting stars such as James Taylor, Nile Wilson and Sam Quek, but his life didn’t always look so positive. 
 
Back from the Edge reveals the huge ups and major downs that a professional career in sports can bring—and the mental health difficulties that can plague a sportsperson along the way. Luke knows this more than most. Brutally, but refreshingly honest, this no-frills autobiography of the former professional cricketer describes in detail the moment he hit rock bottom, how he got there, his roller coaster journey through rehab, and the important lessons he’s learned since. 
 
Throughout the book, Luke remains candid and reveals how his addictions affected his personal life, from his friends to family to his children. Back from the Edge is heart-wrenching. It’s also thoroughly genuine, funny and utterly inspirational, and has allowed the former cricketer to speak about his mental health and to raise awareness of addiction in sports. Now a sports agent, he is perfectly placed to spot the warning signs in young stars, and to support them before they spiral into the same type of experiences he faced. 
 
“A raw account of his alcoholism and the process of rebuilding his life.” —The Telegraph 
 
“One of the most honest cricket books ever written.” —ESPNcricinfo

    33 Ways To Make Her Miss You

    Being apart from the lady you like can be one of the difficult things you ever have to do. So how do you make sure that the girl misses you while you`re gone? This e-book gives you up to 50 ways to make her miss you. 
    Tip number one. Minimize the amount of time you spend together 
     If you want the girl to miss you when you`re apart from one another, then you can`t spend too much of your free time with her. You should hang out with her enough to make her see how awesome, fun, and interesting you are, but not so much that she starts to take you for granted or feels like you`ve run out of things to say to each other. 
    Make an effort to see her once or twice a week, but ensure that she`s not the only to-do on your social calendar, or she`ll start to think that she can have you whenever she wants. 
    Tip number two. Limit your phone time with her 
     If you and the girl you are interested in talk on the phone, ensure that you keep your conversations relatively short so she doesn`t assume you have nothing better to do than to talk to her all the time. You can talk to her to set up plans or to see how she`s doing for some few minutes, but you shouldn`t let the conversation drag on so long that you`ve run out of things to say. To keep her interested, you want her to feel like she can never run out of things to say to you once you meet. 
    Don`t tell her everything that you`re thinking or everything that`s happening in your life over the phone. Save some of it for when you actually meet her in-person.

    Great marriages don't just happen--they're made, intentionally, day by day. Yet most of us enter the covenant of marriage thinking that the role of spouse will be easy, natural, effortless. Rarely is this true. In fact, the number one cause of divorce isn't adultery or finances or disagreements. It's apathy--a lack of intentional emotional, physical, and mental investment in the relationship. With engaging stories and clear, simple language, pastor Kevin A. Thompson explains the three critical roles of a spouse--friend, partner, and lover--and shows how to nurture those roles in order to keep a marriage healthy and strong. Using solid biblical principles, he helps couples understand how to grow their friendship, be a supportive partner through the good times and the bad, and develop a healthy and satisfying sex life.Friends, Partners, and Lovers offers essential insight for couples at any stage of marriage but will be especially helpful to those who are struggling and those who are engaged or newly married and looking to start their marriage on strong footing.
