It All Began With Wilt
by Cecil Mosenson

“At the age of twenty-two, I took a job as a physical education teacher and basketball coach at Overbrook High School, where one of my players was Wilt Chamberlain.” Having coached one of the best basketball players to have ever played the game is a great accomplishment, but Cecil Mosenson has a bigger story to tell. In ‘It All Began with Wilt,’ the reader gets to see the power of a coach, the power of a man, and the power of a friend. Armed with the ability to coach and teach, Cecil worked his way through highly acclaimed and successful coaching positions, awards on every level, administrative opportunities, and, ultimately, into the lives of countless teenagers. His kids still thank him for the impact that he had—in sports and life. His inspiration now extends past the court into a wonderfully wrought memoir. Cecil Mosenson shares his life of coaching—starting with Wilt.”

Silent Thunder
A Life Story
by Eric Thunander

“Silent Thunder Down, set, hut! Shoulder pads crack, helmets smash together, and Eric Thunander hears nothing.. As a deaf athlete, Eric persevered through many obstacles; however, his life on the football field only begins to tell his powerful and heart-wrenching story. Born into a chronically abusive family, Eric sets out to defy the family tradition through education, perseverance, and forgiveness. Through abuse, neglect, and unimaginable tragedy, he tells his own story. The relationship with his family, moving from school to school, being placed in foster care, and his national championship with the University of Oklahoma in 2000 all work to define Eric as a man of character, humility, and unwavering strength. Although football helped him through some tough times, it dealt him an even bigger blow with his injury. Depressed and broken, Eric hit a nearly fatal low. Seemingly on his last thread, Eric climbed his way up—and lives to tell about it. Silent Thunder is the life of a kid slated by society to fail, and the power of a man determined to fight. Eric Thunander attended OU and was an active part of their championship season in 2000. His academic achievements include being on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll and the Who’s Who of America Colleges. He travels as a motivational speaker, but resides in Norman, Oklahoma. “A compelling story of a man faced with many trials, none of which could extinguish his dream.” – Bob Stoops, University of Oklahoma football coach “An inspiring story of individual strength built upon a remarkable capacity to love and to forgive.” – David L. Boren, University of Oklahoma president ”

Merkle’s Curse
by Jerry Jacover

“During the summer of 2003, two life-long fans of the Chicago Cubs realized that their favorite team is really cursed. They, and their adult sons, become obsessed with undoing this curse, lest it undermine their team’s march to its first World Series in almost sixty years and its first Major League Championship since 1908. Unbeknownst to them, the curse had its origins in an Old Testament prophecy that has had a profound effect on both the history of the world and the game of baseball. In the process, it traces a dark, forbidding path from the Holy Land, through the Roman Empire, medieval Europe, West Africa, and pre-Columbian America, before leaving an imprint on the United States and its national pastime. A story about friends, family, freedom and faith, the reader won’t know until the very last page whether these die-hard Cub fans were able to solve the mystery of Merkle’s Curse.”

Tate Publishing Author’s Dream Born From Son’s Tragedy And Miraculous Recovery

Monday, November 10th, 2008

For any author who has hoped to see his or her book featured on national television, Terri DeShazo-Arnett is a testament of perseverance and results!

Every few months she sent information on her book, You May Have a PhD, But I Know G-O-D—a review copy, other reviews of the book, a letter from her, promotional materials—to TBN. After a year, she stopped sending, instead focusing her energy on praying that God would open the right doors, even if that meant making a personnel change within the network’s staff.

Two days later, she received a call from the network: a new staff member had inherited bins upon bins of letters and review copies of books from her predecessor. She read each book; Terri’s especially caught her interest. A producer soon sat down with Terri and her son, Jeremy, to discuss their moving story and experience in front of a camera.

Terri’s story, upon which she based her book, will air soon in a segment titled “Miracle of Faith” on a television program hosted by Joni and Marcus Lamb. Terri is joining other authors—such as Max Lucado, Joel Olsteen, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Tommy Tenney, Francine Rivers, and Joyce Meyer—by being a feature on one of the numerous programs put on by the Lambs.

But Terri is no stranger to the world of Christian television. After almost two years of contacting the 700 Club, Terri was featured in “Against All Odds.” The 700 Club plays it over and over; it’s “one of their most popular pieces they run,” the author was told by an executive producer.

Readers can read the script written by Executive Producer Debbie White

The book is available at any bookstore nationwide or can be ordered through Tate Publishing. The book is also available at barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com or target.com. An audio version of the book also is available from the publisher.

Tate Publishing First Time Author Makes Best Selling List

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Maryland Christian author Neill G. Russell has received nationwide attention for his apocalyptic fiction novel, Newton’s Riddle: The Psalm 83 Conspiracy Revealed. Since its March 11, 2008, release by Tate Publishing, Russell has had favorable and somewhat controversial responses to his book, which he says is the “Christian alternative to The DaVinci Code.”

After Russell’s nationwide appearance on Sid Roth’s TV show, “Its Supernatural” In April, the demand for the book has exploded. Selling over 5,000 copies in the first month of its release, this first time author has paved the way to make the best seller list.

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, Russell’s book predicts the year of the Messiah’s return. Featuring a woman president, Israel’s demise and plagues, and cataclysmic end-time events, this thought-provoking book will leave readers on the edge of their seats. Russell says, “Though the main storyline is purely fictional, I truly believe the prophetic events depicted in this novel are about to literally explode on the world scene.”

More information on Tate Publishing is available at http://www.tatepublishing.com

Russell earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree in education, and has taught science and coached at Annapolis High School for 35 years. He and his wife, Cindy, currently reside in Queenstown, Maryland.

Using the premise of an ancient code discovered by Sir Isaac Newton, Neill Russell pulls us through time and thrusts us into the near future events foretold by the ancient Biblical prophets Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, and Zechariah.  The reader gets a look into the dark spiritual realm to see how the army of Satan’s demons is structured and how they attempt to bring total destruction to Israel and Christian nations supporting her.”

 “Newton’s Riddle, although fiction, could be taking place before our very eyes.  A ‘now’ book for the most critical juncture in human history.”  Sid Roth, President, Messianic Vision

 Newton’s Riddle is available at any bookstore nationwide or can be ordered through the publisher at orders@tatepublishing.com, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com or target.com.  Audio versions of the book are also available.
