Fantasy Life: The Outrageous, Uplifting, and Heartbreaking World of Fantasy Sports from the Guy Who’s Lived It

Now a New York Times bestseller!

Fantasy football, fantasy baseball, fantasy basketball, even fantasy sumo wrestling: the world of fantasy sports is huge, and still growing. Today, more than 35 million people in the United States and Canada spend hours upon hours each week on their fantasy sports teams. And as the Senior Fantasy Sports Analyst for ESPN, Matthew Berry is on the front lines of what has grown from a niche subculture into a national pastime.

In Fantasy Life, Berry celebrates every aspect of the fantasy sports world. Brilliant trash talk. Unbelievable trophies. Insane draft day locations. Shake-your-head-in-disbelief punishments. Ingenious attempts at cheating. And surprisingly uplifting stories that remind us why we play these games in the first place.

Written with the same award-winning style that has made Berry one of the most popular columnists on ESPN.com, Fantasy Life is a book for both hard-core fantasy players and people who have never played before. Between tales of love and hate, birth and death, tattoos and furry animal costumes, the White House Situation Room and a 126-pound golden pelican, Matthew chronicles his journey from a fourteen-year-old fantasy player to the face of fantasy sports for the largest sports media company in the world.

Fantasy will save your life. Fantasy will set you free. And fantasy life is most definitely better than real life. You’ll see.

Through the Eyes of C.H. Spurgeon: Quotes From A Reformed Baptist Preacher

“Read this book to generate thought and reflection. Read it to find the perfect quote for your book or sermon or blog post. Read it and I am certain you will be blessed.”
Tim Challies // Pastor of Grace Fellowship Church, blogger, author of The Next Story, Sexual Detox, The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment.

This book will introduce a new generation to the Prince of Preachers. Many of these quotes are short enough to post on Twitter, but powerful enough to change your life.”
Adrian Warnock // Blogger, AdrianWarnock.com, Author, Raised With Christ – How The Resurrection Changes Everything

“It is great to have another reliable book of poignant quotes by the Prince of Preachers, especially one that includes the source of the sayings as well as a Scripture index. Because Spurgeon was so full of Christ, he will undoubtedly and deservedly continue to be quoted until our Lord’s return.”
Tom Ascol // Pastor, Grace Baptist Church of Cape Coral, FL, Executive Director, Founders Ministries

“Stephen McCaskell has done a great service for those of us who are not Spurgeon scholars. This collection offers wonderful, concise quotes on many subjects and serves as a reminder of Spurgeon’s brilliant preaching and wit, as well as his powerful insights into God’s word.”
Barnabas Piper // Writer, Book Reviewer and Columnist, WorldMag.com

“Stephen McCaskell has sifted through the enormous volume of material produced by Spurgeon and pulled out some of the best gems. He even organized them by topic and scripture reference! I can’t think of a Christian that won’t be blessed by this book. Get this book today and put it to use.”
Stephen Altrogge // Pastor, Blogger, Songwriter, Author, The Greener Grass Conspiracy and Game Day for the Glory of God.

“Few people are as quotable as Charles Spurgeon. Few people have spent more time in his work than Stephen McCaskell. These two truths come together perfectly in this new must-have Spurgeon resource. You’ll laugh, cry, be convicted, and be encouraged – maybe all on the same page!”
Luke Wilson // Pastor, book publisher, & founder of Deep Roots Library

The View from Here: On Affirmation, Attachment, and the Limits of Regret

Must we always later regret actions that were wrong for us to perform at the time? Can there ever be good reason to affirm things in the past that we know were unfortunate? In this original work of moral philosophy, R. Jay Wallace shows that the standpoint from which we look back on our lives is shaped by our present attachments-to persons, to the projects that imbue our lives with meaning, and to life itself. Through a distinctive “affirmation dynamic”, these attachments commit us to affirming the necessary conditions of their objects. The result is that we are sometimes unable to regret events and circumstances that were originally unjustified or otherwise somehow objectionable.

Wallace traces these themes through a range of examples. A teenage girl makes an ill-advised decision to conceive a child – but her love for the child once it has been born makes it impossible for her to regret that earlier decision. The painter Paul Gauguin abandons his family to pursue his true artistic calling (and eventual life project) in Tahiti–which means he cannot truly regret his abdication of familial responsibility. The View from Here offers new interpretations of these classic cases, challenging their treatment by Bernard Williams and others. Another example is the “bourgeois predicament”: we are committed to affirming the regrettable social inequalities that make possible the expensive activities that give our lives meaning. Generalizing from such situations, Wallace defends the view that our attachments inevitably commit us to affirming historical conditions that we cannot regard as worthy of being affirmed–a modest form of nihilism.

Inspirations from Ancient Wisdom: At the Feet of the Master, Light on the Path, the Voice of the Silence
