“Faith is universal. Our specific methods for understanding it are arbitrary. Some of us pray to Jesus, some of us go to Mecca, some of us study subatomic particles. In the end we are all just searching for truth, that which is greater than ourselves.”

A storied 1950’s high school and college basketball player, EJay McIlvain, from Texas shares life lessons from the game he loved then and loves now. EJay’s career is conveyed in stories from grade-school through college, and ultimately to playing on a Christian basketball team, Venture for Victory. It was a team of Christian college standouts who toured Asia sharing their faith. The story centers around EJay’s high school basketball coach and the life lessons he learned from Coach Clifton McNeely. It was those boys who by chance and the grace of God played basketball for Coach McNeely who put Pampa on the map and in the history books of outstanding team records. Coach McNeely coached for thirteen years before leaving Pampa in 1960 with a record of 321 wins and 43 losses. Over those years, the Harvesters won six district championships, four state championships, one 2nd place finish in the state, one 4th place finish in the state, and had a 72-game winning streak throughout three undefeated seasons. Astonishingly, EJay never lost a game on his home court the entire three years he played for the Pampa Harvesters. He and his teammates give full credit to Coach McNeely by describing teaching skills that made a winner out of those Pampa teams. As a teacher, he could not only tell you what to do, he could show you how to do it. The players would marvel as Coach McNeely would make 50-60 free throws without missing. He demonstrated over those thirteen years that he could take a different group of young men each year, analyze their talents and potential, develop schemes on both ends of the court that maximized their abilities, instill within them a winning attitude and ultimately produce one of the most enviable winning records in the history of Texas Interscholastic League Basketball. His players believed in him. Coach Mac loved and respected his boys; and, in turn, his boys loved and respected him. He expressed his love for his players even in death as he had selected beforehand several members of his teams to be his pallbearers and one of his star players, Jimmy Bond, to present the funeral homily. EJay was honored to be a pallbearer at the funeral of the man he had loved and respected and who he thought had literally established the course of his life to inspire others to achieve their dreams. Dr. Bond emphasized that in addition to himself, EJay and 101 other young men stepped onto the Pampa High School basketball court under the coaching leadership of Clifton McNeely. Dr. Bond who also played on those storied teams wrapped up the athletic coaching accomplishments of Coach Mac by noting that “the reason for that 13-year success story was that those teams were essentially better coached, better conditioned, better prepared in every way than their opponents. I suppose that one of the salient qualities of Coach Mac was that he convinced 103 rather average athletes that they could line up against any opponent—and beat them. He was a winner—and he made us winners!” The lessons those players learned from Coach McNeely have made significant differences in the lives of people all over the world. This book is told from the perspective of EJay McIlvain’s little brother, Teddy McIlvain, who was also influenced indirectly to help others see their passion and strive to accomplish their goals.
The number-one New York Times bestselling author shares the secret of his success and teaches you how to achieve the blessed full life that belongs to you
On January 13, 2016, at the close of a taping of Family Feud, Steve Harvey spontaneously began to speak. Not knowing that the cameras were still rolling, the $100 million-dollar host offered his studio audience insights into his own happiness and success. His staff, also moved by Steve’s passionate words, shared the riveting six-minute video on social media. The clip immediately went viral, with more than 58 million views worldwide!
In this very personal and illuminating guide, the #1 New York Times bestselling author elaborates on those spontaneous remarks. His message is simple: You need to JUMP like your life depends on it—because it does—if you truly want a life of peace and abundance.
Jump explores seven vulnerable “seasons” in the Emmy Award-winner life: being homeless and living out of his car, flunking out of college, enduring the emotional turmoil of a second failed marriage, risking stability to pursue his dream of television stardom, overcoming the Miss Universe mishap, blending his family, and owing the Internal Revenue Service $20 million. Steve uses these uncomfortable moments to explain his core principles and teach you what it means to JUMP:
· Identifying the lesson and the blessing in all that life brings our way;
· Isolating particular moments when we must be still and when we must take action;
· Implementing “humble aggression” to achieve our dreams;
· Placing past mistakes in our rearview mirror and creating a fresh life story;
· Letting go of people who are weighing us down;
· Taking responsibility in the face of adversity.
At the heart of this mesmerizing read is faith—the confidence in knowing that leaping will elevate our lives, and that we will be caught when we fall. Don’t stand on the cliff of life and watch others soar by, Steve tells us. If you take a leap of faith, God will open your parachute and “Give you life more abundantly.”
Life is an incredible journey. It’s not good enough to exist—you need to live. You need to JUMP—to take a leap of faith, a risk toward the rich life God has planned for you.
