The bestselling inspirational book in which the author reunites with a childhood football hero, now a minister and coach, and witnesses a revelatory demonstration of the true meaning of manhood--Season of Life is a book that "should be required reading for every high school student in America and every parent as well" (Carl Lewis, Olympic champion).

Joe Ehrmann, a former NFL football star and volunteer coach for the Gilman high school football team, teaches his players the keys to successful defense: penetrate, pursue, punish, love. Love? A former captain of the Baltimore Colts and now an ordained minister, Ehrmann is serious about the game of football but even more serious about the purpose of life. Season of Life is his inspirational story as told by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jeffrey Marx, who was a ballboy for the Colts when he first met Ehrmann.

Ehrmann now devotes his life to teaching young men a whole new meaning of masculinity. He teaches the boys at Gilman the precepts of his Building Men for Others program: Being a man means emphasizing relationships and having a cause bigger than yourself. It means accepting responsibility and leading courageously. It means that empathy, integrity, and living a life of service to others are more important than points on a scoreboard.

Decades after he first met Ehrmann, Jeffrey Marx renewed their friendship and watched his childhood hero putting his principles into action. While chronicling a season with the Gilman Greyhounds, Marx witnessed the most extraordinary sports program he'd ever seen, where players say "I love you" to each other and coaches profess their love for their players. Off the field Marx sat with Ehrmann and absorbed life lessons that led him to reexamine his own unresolved relationship with his father.

Season of Life is a book about what it means to be a man of substance and impact. It is a moving story that will resonate with athletes, coaches, parents--anyone struggling to make the right choices in life.

DERM APPROVED!
I am obsessed with this product!! This feels very luxurious on my skin and does not pill like other products I have had in the past. I have noticed a significant improvement in the background redness in my skin. As someone who works in derm and values good ingredients and products that actually work... I can confidently say that this is the best OTC azelaic acid product I have tried out. It sits very nicely under my moisturizer and does not dehydrate my skin like other azelaic acid products have done in the past. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

A Game Changer for Sensitive Skin
I use this serum every single day, and it has become one of the most important products in my skincare routine. I have very sensitive skin and cannot tolerate stronger active ingredients such as retinol or high-strength acids, so finding something effective but gentle has been incredibly important. This serum has helped calm redness, reduce inflammation, and noticeably improve my skin’s overall appearance and comfort. After dealing with a prolonged inflammatory skin condition, this product made a significant difference and helped restore my skin barrier. The formula feels soothing, hydrating, and non-irritating. If you have sensitive or reactive skin and are looking for a gentle product to help with redness and uneven texture, I highly recommend giving this serum a try. Photos attached: The green bottle is the product and the second photo includes my favorite additions.

Perfect for Acne-Prone Skin!
This serum has honestly been a great addition to my routine for redness and post-acne marks. The texture is lightweight, hydrating, and doesn’t feel sticky or heavy on my oily/acne-prone skin. I have sensitive skin with a focus on barrier protection, and this didn’t irritate my skin at all. It layers beautifully with the rest of my skincare and leaves my skin looking calmer and smoother over time. AND, it doesn’t have a smell!! Definitely one of my favorite azelaic acid serums I’ve tried.

6-Month Update: Still a staple for sensitive, acne-prone skin
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I originally reviewed this ampoule when I first started using it, and now after about six months of consistent use (morning and night), I feel confident giving a more long-term update. I have sensitive, acne-prone, combination skin, and this has remained one of the most reliable products in my routine. The texture is still one of my favorite things about it — very lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers well under moisturizer and sunscreen without pilling. Over time, I’ve noticed: Less visible redness More balanced oil production in my T-zone Fewer irritation flare-ups when introducing new products No clogged pores or breakouts from this formula It doesn’t feel heavy or sticky, even in humid weather. I’ve continued repurchasing and even keep it on subscription because it consistently performs without causing sensitivity. If you’re looking for a gentle, soothing centella product that works well for long-term barrier support, this has proven to be a dependable option in my experience.

Healed my barrier so fast
Size: 3.38 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I received this ampoule yesterday and I'm already leaving a 5 star review after 2 uses because it just worked so well. I bought it because I've recently incorporated the Timeless 20% Vitamin C into my routine and that + my tretinoin made my skin drier than I've ever felt it before, even gently swiping a cotton pad with micellar would sting on some parts of my face. As soon as this ampoule arrived I applied it to clean skin and layered squalane on top (my moisturizer was burning as well.) This product did not sting my face AT ALL. It instead felt immediately soothing and hydrating. When I woke up this morning almost all of my redness was gone, my skin didn't feel tight or irritated, and my skin tone looked so even and glowy. I never thought a product, especially such a simply formulated one, could heal my barrier so quickly but that's exactly what it did and I can already tell it's a repeat buy. If you have redness prone sensitive skin and/or you use several high strength actives, this ampoule is a must have and it might be the key for anyone struggling to tolerate high strength retinoids. I got the largest size bottle for $15 on sale and it's seriously one of the most affordable and effective skincare products I've ever had in my routine.
