...before moving to AS Roma two seasons ago. In the modern game, a deadly forward is one who scores once every three games. Batistuta's average for Argentina is better than two in three. With his shoulder-length blond hair and soulful eyes, he looks a likely lead in Jesus Christ Superstar, but he has the instincts of a cold-blooded killer. Bielsa notes that Batistuta is "more comfortable in the last third of the pitch" than his rival, and that's an understatement. There is no cooler head in a goalmouth melee than the Roma star.

The Prayer of Jabez for Teens (Multnomah Publishers) has sold more than 800,000 copies since it came out in July, while the Extreme for Jesus series (Thomas Nelson) is the largest brand of Christian teen books and Bibles in the world. Started in 1999, the company has so far sold 1 million books and Bibles. The books, including journals and fiction, are to regular religious literature what skateboarding is to skipping, and the imprint plays up the association with extreme sports. "Church has been made...
