First Chapters

"The Winners Manual" by Jim Tressel (pdf)

"Don?t Bet Against Me!" by Deanna Favre (pdf)

"Quiet Strength" by Tony Dungy (pdf)


"Don?t Bet Against Me!" by Deanna Favre was published in hardcover last September, and sold more than 75,000 copies.



Next Sunday Tyndale will have its third football-related book in a year reach the New York Times best-seller list, No. 3 on the ?advice, how-to and miscellaneous? category ? unusual for a publisher whose most profitable non-Bible product until now has been the ?Left Behind? series of apocalyptic novels.
