Chased By Pandas: My life in the mysterious world of cycling

'This is Dan Martin's long-awaited autobiography, full of 'the warmth, sharp insights and vivid colour of his 14-year career' GuardianKnown, thanks to his racing style and attitude, for being one of road cycling's last romantics, Dan has always shied away from revealing too much about himself and his story. Now, having retired at the end of the 2021 season aged 35 and no longer bound by the constraints of the racing circuit, Dan feels the time is right to tell his story in the same forthright and honest manner that he rode his bike.This book reflects Dan's generous and outspoken spirit, his resilience to pain, crashes, bad luck and, finally, his acceptance of destiny. Each chapter's title has a sub-title based on a typical cyclist's the fear of losing a race, the fear of retiring from the sport, the fear of mountains or downhills, the fear of doping and, ultimately, the fear of death. Dan also discusses every aspect of the professional cyclist's life - food, discipline, money, dreams, friendship and betrayal. Dan is unashamed when it comes to exposing these dark feelings, his weaknesses and how he tried to deal with them, his attitude exemplifying Mark Twain's "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear".Written with his long-time friend and best-selling author Pierre Carrey, this is the story of a rider who never sought to conform to modern cycling's norms and someone who, in many ways, embodies an age in cycling which has long since disappeared.This is the celebration of a true cyclist's career, which will appeal to anyone who's embraced the weekend ride whilst dreaming of the mountains.'[Chased by Pandas] is not a conventional study of wins, losses and conquering mountains but overcoming the mental challenges of a sport into which he was seemingly born' The Times'Records the brave and tough journey of 'one of road cycling's last romantics' Irish Independent'Chronicles the former Irish road champion's journey through the ranks of professional cycling' Cycling Weekly

Biblical help and hope for bereaved parents. 
This book has been written to help heartbroken parents know and feel the nearness and tenderness of God when they are facing the loss of a child. It takes long, satisfying looks at truths and stories from the Bible, helping you to know and be comforted by God the Father as he walks with you through your darkest seasons. 
The authors write with honesty, experience and compassion to encourage those who are crushed in spirit to lean heavily on Jesus. They give lots of practical advice on processing and praying through grief as well as clarity on some of the difficult questions raised by this kind of suffering. 
Readers can choose whichever chapters are most relevant to their situation. There is something here for those who have just heard the news that their child is very ill, and for those who lost a child some time ago; for those who are asking painful questions, and for those seeking practical advice; for mothers carrying a pregnancy that will likely end in loss, and for family members wondering how to help their loved ones in their grief. 
Every situation is different, but our Lord Jesus is always the sameand he has a special, tender nearness to the broken-hearted.

St. Louis is a funny town. Cartoonwise, that is. Different theories abound, but the Gateway to the West has been unusually starcrossed with some of the most talented and famous cartoonists this country has ever produced. Under the umbrella term of cartooning, these talents are classified as comic-strip artists, political satirists, caricaturists, visual humorists, illustrators, and misunderstood artistic pioneers. The range is extraordinary from the legendary Joseph Keppler in the 1870s to the present-day graphic novelists. The old and young will be able to learn something new, from the historically obscure foundations, to the legendary Robert Minor, Al Frueh, or Harry Tuthill, and to today s popular Blondie or Mother Goose and Grim. All of the artists included have either been born in, lived in, and worked in the St. Louis region. This book will reconnect St. Louisans, locally and nationally, to their contribution to the art of cartooning. Published in cooperation with The Sheldon Concert Hall and Art Galleries.

It’s time we reframe the conversation. While on opposite sides of the spectrum, purity culture and secular culture have both seriously distorted the way we think about and talk about purity, sex, and relationships. Sexual brokenness runs rampant in secular and sacred spaces, and to find freedom, we need a new approach. In The Pursuit, Joshua Livingston and Dan Martin from pureHOPE Ministries will begin to unravel the myths, misconceptions, and outright lies revolving around sexuality and introduce God’s better story of sex. God’s intention for purity and sex is something far more meaningful, powerful, and beautiful than anything we’ve been taught before. When we understand God’s purpose and design for sex, we begin distancing ourselves from sexual brokenness and stepping toward a loving Father who desires a relationship with us. Whether you find yourself currently single, engaged, or married, this book will give you biblical insight and practical tools to confidently and intentionally pursue purity with Jesus as your priority. Purity is not an accomplishment to obtain; purity is a relationship to pursue.
