The Athlete Whisperer
An Improbable Voice in Sports by Andrea Kirby
Andrea Kirby was not a former athlete and had no ties to television. Still, in 1971, this single mom talked her way onto a small television station as a sportscaster. A rare female in the all-male culture of her beloved sports, she was harassed and discriminated against, but she wasn’t deterred. Kirby excelled at her first break and then moved to a bigger market in sports-rich Baltimore. Male colleagues said she didn’t belong, but fans loved her, teams respected her, and networks noticed her. In 1977, ABC Sports hired Andrea Kirby as its first full-time female announcer. Hosting the College Football Scoreboard and traveling the world for Wide World of Sports was her hard-fought dream come true. Heartbreakingly, the dream ended. Kirby’s survival became another great adventure. Then, a chance interview with a famous basketball player changed everything, inspiring an idea so original that it appeared as a question in the board game Trivial Pursuit. A rare, entertaining, and uplifting story, The Athlete Whisperer will inspire any reader with an improbable dream.

The Heidelberg Catechism
In 52 Sermons by Rev. M. van Beek
The Heidelberg Catechism is a book of comfort for God's true children, which is hated by the enemy and loved by the godly, and that will always remain so. Also, in this catechism is expounded in a precious way, how the Lord converts a person and that there is nothing included from man's side, for there is only one God, with whom we must be reconciled; there is only one Mediator, by which we can be reconciled to God and in Whom the triune God is eternally glorified, of Whom the poet says: Through Him, through Him alone, Whose presence goes before us, We'll wear the victors crown, no more by foes assaulted, We'll triumph through our King, by Israel's God exalted. The late Rev. M. van Beek was born in Bennekom NL on October 1, 1921, and called by the Lord to the public ministry of the Word, to proclaim that among us. He was 41 years old when he entered into the ministry and died May 9, 1983 at the age of 61. He was endowed with wisdom and authority as a shepherd and teacher. Rev. van Beek was also respected in secular circles. May the remembrance of the just be blessed!

Until This Soul Departs
by Jim Puskas
A Toronto inner-city hospital. January 1960. Well past midnight. There it is, the first shriek. At least the brat sounds healthy. Is that the best I can expect, just that the infant isn’t sickly—this red-faced newborn whose prospects appear so bleak? The glacial fluorescent lights in this antiseptic cubicle that passes for a birthing centre allow for no shadows, no respite from their intrusive and impersonal glare. I ought to sympathize with the resident on duty tonight, stuck here again for the third night in a row, assisting at another nameless birth. Tonight, he’s too exhausted to react to that nurse’s sarcastic comments. Right now, his only concern is finding his way to a bed, one where there are no pagers and no phones for the next few hours. I have little reason to sympathize with that young mother, though. Her present situation is simply one of the many bits of unpleasantness that she has brought upon herself by her feckless behaviour. The utter absence of human concern for her welfare in this institutional no man’s land at the instant of giving birth? Well, that’s just the way things are in any big city. If all goes according to plan, they can send her home within thirty-six hours; the administration’s only concern will be the validity of her Ontario health card. Tomorrow, the whole sequence will be repeated. And so begins our story. It’s a story about aspiration, love, and betrayal. But most of all, it’s about forgiveness.
