The Bouncing Football: Life Lessons on the Gridiron
Price range: $3.99 through $15.99He questioned the system and paid the price….
But 44 years ago, he played for the Dallas Cowboys for a single season as a middle linebacker. During his rookie season in 1973, the 23-year-old from Waco was a backup to a fading legend, Lee Roy Jordan, and was traded by October of 1974 before he vanished from pro football altogether just two years later.
His official Rice University biography, penned upon his induction into that school’s hall of fame in 2011, notes that his career was cut short by injuries. Bu that is not the whole truth. Rodrigo Barnes was, he has long believed, punished for being an outspoken black man in an industry controlled by white men. He was banished for being “a radical at a time when radicals weren’t popular”, beloved Cowboy’s wide receiver Drew Pearson once said.
It might be tempting to say that before there was a Colin Kaepernick, there was Rodrigo Barnes – a man exiled from the game he loved. There may be a certain truth to the comparison. Both men sacrificed their pro football careers to protest the treatment of black men in America.

The Church in the Last Days
Price range: $3.99 through $27.99Above all, the writer believes that The Church in the Last Days addresses the main sources of doctrinal confusion, clearing the air and exposing the contradictions to which many Christians still cling regarding crucial end time prophecies. First, the writer has received direct revelation from God’s Spirit which has led to the solution of these problems. Second, he has also compared many other salient scriptures which have apparently been ignored, thereby clarifying pertinent contextual details regarding the relative timing of end times events. Also, this book is a “primer for victory” for all those who believe the truth of the complete Gospel of Christ. One cannot miss the fact that the New Testament is full of glowing examples of what believers can do just by taking Jesus’s Word at face value. Solomon wrote that “the righteous are as bold as a lion.” Not only that, the writer believes that the New Covenant aptly sketched out simply in ”the Lord’s Prayer,” is a manifesto for a spiritual revolution that we can implement today and finally, in these “last days,” bring about a worldwide revival and the fulfillment of the great commission.
