Powerful Lessons: Sports Shorts II, a collection of short stories, is J. H. Hollands fourth publication. As was the case with his previous collections, Holland told these stories to his children when they were growing up. He has dusted off the pages of some very old stories to include them in this book. The stories are inspirational and contain wonderful messages of encouragement. It is the authors hope that families will enjoy these stories together. True amazement is found in the second or third reading, when readers grasp that there is actually more there than originally thought. Which of the characters do you relate to?
