A journey for justice turned into a love story when Maya Moore, one of the WNBA's brightest stars, married the man she helped free from prison, Jonathan Irons. Jonathan was only 16 when he was arrested for a crime he did not commit. Maya Moore's family met Jonathan through a prison ministry program in 1999 and over time developed a close bond with him. Maya met Jonathan in 2007, shortly before her freshman year at the University of Connecticut, where she became one of the most heralded women's basketball players in collegiate history. She visited him often throughout the years, as well as sending him letters and books as he fought for his freedom; ultimately, she became a strong voice for prosecutorial changes. She stunned the sports world when she announced in February 2019 that she would step away from her career in women's basketball, in part so she could help Jonathan in what they hoped would be his final appeal. In March 2020, his conviction was overturned by a state judge in Jefferson City, Mo. In this inspiring memoir, the couple will explore their unwavering faith, their deep connection, and how Maya stepped away from basketball to pursue justice both to prove Jonathan's innocence and inspire activism in others. Just like Maya and Jonathan asked themselves, readers will ask themselves one of the most important questions they can after reading this book: "Am I living out my purpose?"]]></description><link>https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15777604</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15777604</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Maya Moore Irons, Irons, Jonathan, Stevenson, Bryan, Thrasher, Travis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/15777604981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Story of Triumph on Two Different Courts</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=EBSKO71211&amp;password=CC74006&amp;Value=9781368082198&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love and Justice]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the tradition of Just Mercy, an inspirational memoir by WNBA star Maya Moore Irons and her husband, Jonathan Irons, who she helped free from a wrongful conviction.

As a kid, Ty Pennington had too much energy. He was chaotic, bouncing off the walls, and on a first-name basis with the local emergency room staff. Back then there wasn't public awareness of attention deficit disorder yet. People just thought Ty was rambunctious. A trouble maker. What do you do with a kid who just can't sit still? Who can't focus?
But Ty discovered something amazing when he was just a boy: he felt focused when he was building something. He discovered that he loved to work with his hands - to use tools and be creative. He loved to try new things, build and design new things.
In Life to the Extreme Ty shares his remarkable life story. In his characteristic humorous style, he takes you racing through his life with ADHD-infused diversions that will make you laugh out loud. He shares about how he was diagnosed with ADHD in college, and what it has meant to be an advocate for ADHD awareness. He shares about his start as a model and carpenter, and his eventual move to television where he starred in the hit shows Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Trading Spaces.
Life to the Extreme will inspire you. Ty's boundless energy and his sense of humor are infectious. You'll laugh. You might cry a little. And you'll definitely be inspired to change the lives of those around you.]]></description><link>https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13643266</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13643266</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thrasher, Travis, Pennington, Ty]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/13643266981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>How a Chaotic Kid Became America&apos;s Favorite Carpenter</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=EBSKO71211&amp;password=CC74006&amp;Value=9780310357384&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indivisible]]></title><description><![CDATA[Inspired by true events, Indivisible is a story of love, service, and finding each other all over again.

Hope Springs, Arkansas, seems an unlikely setting for a battle over religious freedom, but the conflict that started at a small local college has spread to a high school campus, where a young Christian teacher named Grace Wesley is on the hot seat with the school district for talking about Jesus in her classroom. Tom, a young lawyer on retainer by the teacher's union, is tapped to represent Grace in her fight for her First Amendment rights. But Tom has his own challenges. His father thinks he's a failure, and his grandmother doesn't recognize him when he visits her. Tom is grateful for the billable hours, but he's fighting for a cause he doesn't even believe in. Soon Tom's advocacy leads him to Amy Ryan, a reporter and former skeptic who found faith after battling cancer and watching the classroom battle unfold at Hope Springs College a year ago. Tom discovers the truth about that case while also discovering more about what genuine faith looks like. Tom, the unlikely hero, seems destined for failure as he takes on a case he surely can't win. But as the disbelieving lawyer, the struggling journalist, and the persecuted teacher share experiences from their pasts and struggles of the present, they become reluctant allies in their journeys toward faith. 'God's Not Dead 2'tells the story behind the blockbuster film, going deeper into the characters' backstories, and finishing with a triumphant picture of the victory that comes from true belief in the face of adversity.]]></description><link>https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C11437601</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C11437601</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thrasher, Travis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11437601981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=EBSKO71211&amp;password=CC74006&amp;Value=9781496413635&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dios no está muerto 2]]></title><description><![CDATA[In The Case for Make Believe, Harvard child psychologist Susan Linn tells the alarming story of childhood under siege in a commercialized and technology-saturated world. Although play is essential to human development and children are born with an innate capacity for make believe, Linn argues that, in modern-day America, nurturing creative play is not only countercultural-it threatens corporate profits. A book with immediate relevance for parents and educators alike, The Case for Make Believe helps readers understand how crucial child's play is-and what parents and educators can do to protect it. At the heart of the book are stories of children at home, in school, and at a therapist's office playing about real-life issues from entering kindergarten to a sibling's death, expressing feelings they can't express directly, and making meaning of an often confusing world. In an era when toys come from television and media companies sell videos as brain-builders for babies, Linn lays out the inextricable links between play, creativity, and health, showing us how and why to preserve the space for make believe that children need to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.]]></description><link>https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C11838052</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C11838052</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thrasher, Travis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://kentonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11838052981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>spa</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=EBSKO71211&amp;password=CC74006&amp;Value=9781496419675&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go Big or Go Home]]></title><description><![CDATA[It was just a simple singing competition that would be fun to audition for.

Yet Chris Buckley can't overlook anything since he's just moved there and fallen for the wrong girl. He's made enemies with the wrong people. He's starting to have nightmares about very, very wrong things. Something is happening in this creepy little town, and it seems to somehow center around Chris. A four-book YA series that will keep you up at night and make you wonder about its mysteries to the very end.

  

#1 Solitary: When Chris Buckley moves to Solitary, North Carolina, he faces the reality of his parents' divorce, a school full of nameless faces-and Jocelyn Evans. Jocelyn is beautiful and mysterious enough to leave Chris speechless. But the more Jocelyn resists him, the more the two are drawn together. Chris soon learns that Jocelyn has secrets as deep as the town itself. Secrets more terrifying than the bullies he faces in the locker room or his mother's unexplained nightmares. He slowly begins to understand the horrific answers. The question is whether he can save Jocelyn in time.

 This first book in the Solitary Tales series will take you from the cold halls of high school to the dark rooms of an abandoned cabin-and remind you what it means to believe in what you cannot see.

#2 Gravestone: At first, Chris Buckley was simply warned. And watched. But as Chris unravels the haunting riddles of the town of Solitary, he finds that much more than the life of a town is at stake. Whether facing a pastor with a house full of skeletons or a cousin he never knew existed, Chris is forced to choose between light and darkness, life and nightmarish death. Every choice he makes reminds him that the unthinkable has already happened-and if he trusts the wrong person, it may happen again.

 This second book in the Solitary Tales continues Chris's journey toward finding out who he is and what his own role is in the darkness suffocating his tiny new hometown. Filled with shocking twists, Gravestone is a tale of a teenager thrown into a battle over a town, a secret-and ultimately his own soul.

#3 Temptation: The third book in the Solitary Tales series for young adults, Temptation follows the soul-wrenching twists of Chris Buckley's journey as he heads deeper into a darkness that threatens all he loves best. As a reluctant student at Harrington High's summer school, Chris meets a fun-loving senior girl who offers a welcome diversion from Chris's past. Soon Chris no longer searches for the truth about the town of Solitary. He no longer tries to pierce its shadows. He no longer questions his role in its mysteries. He makes a new choice: he runs. What he doesn't realize is that he's running the wrong way-and is very close to being beyond any choices at all.

After losing the love of his life, Chris tried to do things his way. He hunted answers. Then he gave up trying to find them. But now Chris comes back to Solitary knowing there's a purpose for his being there. As he watches his place in a twisted and evil bloodline become clear, Chris waits for the last battle-and wonders who will be left when he finally makes his stand.
