Pain & Performance

The Revolutionary New Way to Use Training as Treatment for Pain and Injury

By: Ryan Whited,Matt Fitzgerald

Discover how to move through pain and injury, overcome perceived limits, and be in control of your athletic performance. Pain is universal. Athletes in pursuit of performance are not strangers to pain—in fact they embrace it. But nothing derails training faster than nagging athletic pain and injury, which all too often land athletes in an endless cycle of physical therapy or leave them sidelined from sport altogether, awaiting surgery. Pain & Performance is a tour de force that explores compelling advances in pain science to reveal the shocking lack of evidence to support modern medicine’s approach to injury management. Author Ryan Whited shares how his own journey, as both an elite climber and a professional trainer, inspired his revolutionary Training as Treatment method for helping athletes bounce back from broken to achieve breakthrough performances. This powerful new approach to musculoskeletal health will empower athletes to move through pain with confidence and control as they continue to chase big goals.

Biblical Sterne

Rhetoric and Religion in the Shandyverse

By: Ryan J. Stark

Is Laurence Sterne one of the great Christian apologists? Ryan Stark recommends him as such, perhaps to the detriment of the parson's roguish reputation. The book's aim, however, is not to dispel roguishness but rather to discern the theological motives behind Sterne's comic rhetoric, from Tristram Shandy and the sermons to A Sentimental Journey. To this end, Stark reveals a veritable avalanche of biblical themes and allusions to be found in Sterne, often and seemingly awkwardly in the middle of sex jokes, and yet the effect is not to produce irreverence. On the contrary, we find an irreverently reverent apologetic, Stark argues, and a priest who knows how to play gracefully with religious ideas. Through Sterne, in fact, we might rethink humour's role in the service of religion.

Chris Ryan Extreme: Night Strike

The second book in the gritty Extreme series

By: Chris Ryan

The second book in the Chris Ryan Extreme series. Former SAS hero John Bald is a man at war with himself and fighting a losing battle with the bottle. But then he is reluctantly thrust back into battle... In the race to develop ever more powerful weapons, technology has become the new frontline in global terrorism. And when one of America's most cutting-edge defence contractors suspects a sleeper cell operating in its midst, the Firm reaches out to its most cold-blooded son. Bald's mission: kill the sleeper before they can smuggle top-secret weaponry into the hands of the West's deadliest enemies. But the mission goes sideways, and Bald is the fall guy. Now he must pursue the sleeper from the ghettos of Florida to the war-torn streets of Tripoli, in a relentless hunt for the technology and the truth. Shadowed every step of the way by a ruthless CIA hitman, Bald soon finds that the lines between friend and enemy are blurred, and he'll have to call on all his warrior instincts to stay alive... The Chris Ryan Extreme books take you even further into the heart of the mission with even more extreme action, more extreme language and more extreme pace. Like Call of Duty or Medal of Honor, you'll feel part of the team. Chris Ryan Extreme: Night Strike has previously been published as four separate shorter missions. Now combined in one ebook to keep you at the centre of the action.

Skii: Furious Heart

By: Nicholas Ryan Howard

In the bitter cold… in the vicious winds… in the harshest snow… only one hunter has the skill to survive. SKII TAVEE. Gifted beyond her years, she has become emboldened by her abilities. An unmatched prowess in tracking, stealth, and hunting has assured her status as an asset to The Grizz, the tribe of warrior nomads who have offered her amity. However, her fierce independence and remarkable aptness in the wild has given rise to an uncertainty: does she need them as much as they need her? When an unnatural force violates the tribe's food supply, Skii is tasked by her superiors to prove her worth. She must locate the enigmatic disturbance and put a stop to its heinous actions. Confident in her abilities—but not in the motivations of her leaders—Skii accepts the challenge. Alongside her best friend Cassidy, the fluffy teddy bear decorated shotgun that never leaves her side, she sets out to unravel the mystery. But there is far more at stake. Her mission extracts with a terrible cost, and kicks off a chain of events that threatens her alliances, overturns her loyalties, and thrusts her into the hands of wickedness the likes of which she never could have imagined. "Skii: Furious Heart" is a novella that will grip you from the very first moments, and not let go until the last. It is an exciting, mysterious and whirlwind story about the bonds of loyalty, duty, and allegiance—and what it means to sacrifice them all in the name of independence. This "Legends of Grim" tale is a companion to, and may be read either before or after, the novel "Mortal Enemy." Come take your first steps into the snow. And trust Skii Tavee to be your guide.

The Call to Service - Large Print

By: Rev. Professor Clinton L. Ryan

These sermons are to remind the readers of Abraham's confidence in the faithfulness of God. It was also to remind them that Abraham was not ashamed to build an altar to God and to worship Him in the presence of the heathen. By doing so he declared his expectation of the fulfilment of the Divine promise. Properly understood his actions serve as antecedents for Christians today. We can venture forth in faith and confidence in the promises of God. To respond positively to the command of God is the greatest service that any man or woman can do.

Mason

(A Christian Man and His Times)

By: Patrick Ryan

Set in the real world of modern day, the first half of this work traces the journey to individual salvation. It focuses on faith, overcoming obstacles, salvation, treachery, brutality, through journeyman like adventures. Mason and Samantha, show their struggle to gain valor and integrity through transportation and geography; loss of paradise and redemption in their journey to salvation. It is the power of common man to triumph over environment and destiny. The second half explores man's choices between duty to survive and crime. Driven by bad luck and a difficult social system, it focuses on weak morals, opportunism, money and greed. Through the Bainbridge and Montgomery families we see two women who marry for money and push their husbands to commit murder, or at least hasten death for money. There is no genuine passion between spouses, and children are used as pawns to dominate and control relationships. Mason's social commentary in the second half of the novel shows that the optimism of wealth, through a thousand indignities, ends in an awareness of current social justice. Those who allow their spiritual forces to control their being for self aggrandizement will end in tragic consequences, while those who can reconcile intellect, ambition and remain loyal to self and others are rewarded.

...a thrilling novel that allows readers to easily imagine the pace, excitement, fear, and trepidations of those involved in the conflict, but also makes them realize the dire consequences of war.” - Modern War Institute After decades of poising on the brink, the United States and China finally go to war when China invades the island of Taiwan.

The skillful surgeon was in trouble—and now the only man who could protect her from a madman was her estranged husband, ex-FBI agent Johnny Grand. But uncovering the identity of a shadowy stalker seemed less frightening than facing the feelings provoked by the one man she’d never stopped loving. Meliana would stand strong against her twisted pursuer, but with Johnny…she’d surely buckle the minute he held her in his arms.

Red Letter Devotions

Matthew

By: Roger Ryan

Red Letter Devotions are a series of devotionals from the book of Matthew. I’ve titled them Red Letters, because that is the focus of each day’s devotional. Jesus is the word and all scripture is God breathed, so every bit of scripture is the voice of God. In this devotional my prayer is that everyone who reads it will focus on the words that Jesus spoke while walking with His disciples, and that we too would become disciples of the living Christ. Each devotional centers around a passage of scripture, but I would encourage the reader to start each devotional by asking the Holy Spirit to lead them into the scriptures and take the time to read the larger portion of the passage. This devotional has been designed as a prayer journal so you can write down what the Lord is speaking to you each day. You may even want to go through these passages yearly and write down your thoughts each time. This could be the added blessing of seeing your spiritual journey over a period of time.

University and King

By: Jeffery Ryan Long

This little book is a jewel. Contained in these covers are the stories of real people living their strange and always entertaining little lives. Sometimes, the characters stumble around trapped in their own absurdities. Sometimes, the characters have a flash, a moment of awareness, of self-discovery -and, to their credit- not the annoying self-congratulatory chicken soup kind of clarity. No, these misadventures hit close to home and in places we drive past, sit at the light at, wait for the bus at, places which blur past at the speed of a postmodern life in the shadow of Diamond Head.

The Snowmelt River

By: Frank P. Ryan

Frank P. Ryan, author of Goodbye Baby Blue and Tiger Tiger, is a multiple-bestselling author in the UK and the US. His books have been translated into over ten different languages. The Snowmelt River has been called "Enthralling. Not many books have this cosmic ability," by The Los Angeles Times. On the summit of the fabled Irish mountain known as Slievenamon there is a gate to an ancient land of immense and terrifying power. Hidden to most humans, the gate of Feimhin has lain closed for centuries, the secret of its opening long lost. But now Alan, Kate, Mark, and Mo-four orphans of vastly different backgrounds, drawn together by forces they barely understand-must pass through the portal to face their destinies. What they find beyond is the enchanted but war-ravaged world of Tir, a strange and dangerous land peopled by beings of magic. Here death waits at every corner, and the four new arrivals must learn to fight if they are to survive. And they'd better learn quickly, because the powerful Tyrant of the Wastelands, whose fearsome Death Legion stalks the land, will destroy anything and anyone standing in the way of his plan to become the overlord of Tir.

God's Pale Horse

By: James Ryan

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

God's Pale Horse

By: James Ryan

God's Pale Horse" by James Ryan is a profound and unsettling exploration of historical injustice, intertwining divine mandates with human atrocities. Through a meticulous examination of the conquest and subsequent devastation of the Americas, Ryan unveils how the invocation of divine authority has been historically manipulated to justify the unspeakable: the systematic extermination of indigenous peoples. This book takes the reader on a harrowing journey through history, starting from the apocalyptic riders in the Book of Revelation, echoing through the arrival of Columbus, and resonating in the genocidal policies against Native Americans. Ryan compellingly argues that these events were not merely acts of survival but orchestrated campaigns of extermination sanctioned by misinterpretations of Christian doctrines and fueled by economic greed. From the shores touched by Columbus to the battlefields of the American Indian Wars, "God's Pale Horse" explores the theological and political justifications used to rationalize the horrors committed against Native populations. It examines the portrayal of indigenous people as obstacles to the divine promise, destined to be conquered or annihilated. Ryan challenges the reader to reconsider the narratives of American history and the sanctified violence carried out in the name of God and country. This book is not only a historical account but a moral inquiry into the depths of human cruelty and the enduring fight for justice. It is a crucial read for anyone seeking to understand the darker chapters of American history and the implications of using divine justification for terrestrial horrors. "God's Pale Horse" is a call to acknowledge and rectify the past, urging a reexamination of the myths that have shaped American identity. It's an essential addition to the discourse on history, religion, and the ethics of power.

A Refuge of Cure or Care

The Sensory Dimensions of Confinement at the Worcester State Hospital for the Insane

By: Madeline Kearin Ryan

In A Refuge of Cure or Care: The Sensory Dimensions of Confinement at the Worcester State Hospital for the Insane, Madeline Kearin Ryan analyzes the therapy model of the nineteenth-century asylum. Because the five senses were believed to provide a direct conduit into a person’s mental condition, the curative force of the hospital was thought to reside in its command over sensory experience. Ryan examines how the institution was designed to target each of the five senses as a mode of therapy, and conversely, how that well-intentioned design materialized in the haphazard realm of institutional practice. In doing so, Ryan seeks to reconcile the disjuncture between the benevolent promise of the asylum model and its ultimate failure in a way that captures the complex power dynamics and heterogeneity of actors within the institution.

Love, Wages, Slavery

The Literature of Servitude in the United States

By: Barbara Ryan

With the home the sacred center of social life in the nineteenth-century United States, few social tensions carried more weight than "the servant problem." As slavery tore at the nation, tension about domestic dependency became a heated topic to which publishers responded by producing a steady stream of literature instructing homemakers how to hire, treat, and discipline staff. In Love, Wages, Slavery, Barbara Ryan surveys an expansive collection of these published materials to chart shifts in thinking about what made a servant "good" and how servitors felt about attending non-kin, as well as changing ideas about gender, waged and chattel labor, status, race, and family life." "Love, Wages, Slavery examines the nature of "free" servitude before and after Emancipation through an in-depth comparison of negotiations of attendance and household management. Paying particular attention to women servants, Ryan traces a complex discussion as it developed in such magazines as the Atlantic Monthly, Godey's Lady's Book, and Harper's Bazar."--BOOK JACKET.

Marilynne Robinson's Worldly Gospel

A Philosophical Account of Her Christian Vision

By: Ryan S. Kemp,Jordan Rodgers

In her five novels and many essays, Marilynne Robinson develops a distinctive Christian vision animated by a powerfully affirmative and sacramental attitude toward the physical world and everyday human life. An in-depth philosophical exploration of her work – from Gilead to her extensive non-fiction writing – Marilynne Robinson's Worldly Gospel reads the author's theology as articulating a compelling response to the claim that Christianity is an otherworldly religion whose adherents seek through it to escape the misfortunes of this life. Ryan Kemp and Jordan Rodgers argue that Robinson's work challenges the modern atheistic tradition dating back to Friedrich Nietzsche to present a unique form of contemporary faith that seeks to affirm the world rather than deny its claims.

The Eagle's Call

A Journey of Body, Mind and Spirit

By: Patrick Ryan

This is a sharing of a story, my story. Throughout all of history, the most ancient knowing has been carried forward through the telling of our stories. The fact that this is my story is of no particular importance, it just happens to be the story I know best. The writing itself became a journey. I traveled deep into a valley of fear and doubt, and then found my way out. On the way, I was reminded of my life purpose-to be a spirit whose light shines also on the path of others, poking them in the butt with a "Go for it! This life is yours here and NOW." However, my transformation is not a one-sided proposition. There are over six billion people living on this planet. Each of us is able to read the signs and find the courage to create an amazing life story if only we will. Together, we can discover the nature of this universe as it reveals itself to us and through us. When I was writing this book at my home in beautiful downtown Vancouver, an eagle often circled the building in which I lived, visiting many times. Then one day when I was at a low point and doubting my direction, a coyote also came to visit. Sitting on the grass across the street, it looked toward me as if encouraging me on. City workers came a few days later and placed a sign directly in front of that building-"Warning! Coyote has been spotted here." So, led by the spirit of coyote, eagle and the many other guides of the universe, I was able to complete this tale. Its primary message is about following the call of my body, mind and spirit. On my journey, I agreed to fully own my place in life wherever I happened to be. Although shadows sometimes hid the path, I rejoiced on my way to the sun and the bright peaks beyond. My wish is that you will be entertained, and perhaps even inspired, by my intentional walk. Even though the experiences I describe may be difficult for some to believe, others will know of what I write. Whether this story brings you comfort or not, my hope is that you will question your own experience to the same degree you may question mine. As a wise old monk once told me, "Just take from this what works for you and leave the rest with us." I invite you to do just that. Everything that I write is based on my actual experience but, in some cases, composite characters facilitate the telling and protect the identity of others. For example, my dear friends in Burma are ruled by a cruel military that would not hesitate to cause them harm. Their true identities must not be revealed. If any good comes of this situation, let it be increased public awareness of what is unacceptable and must come to an end. I pray every day that a resolution may take place without the loss of more lives. I have endeavored to recreate each scene in the book with as much accuracy as the veils of time and memory would permit. Although certain details may have been distorted, know that the main emphasis is still the overall message. In the end, this is all that matters.
