Book Description
Team Spirit is a gripping account of a race on the edge, and a young skipper's determined journey to victory. The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race is the ultimate long distance challenge - a 35,000-mile circumnavigation of the globe, contested by amateur crews in identical racing yachts - and the winners are those who keep their focus the longest. The 2010 winner was 28-year-old Brendan Hall and his crew in Spirit of Australia. Although Brendan was the youngest and least experienced skipper in the race, the win was no accident - it was the culmination of years of training, skilled navigation and a leadership style way beyond his years.

Sailboat Church
Author: Joan S. Gray
Publisher: Westminster John Knox Press
ISBN: 0664259588
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Is your church a rowboat church or a sailboat church? Rowboat churches depend largely on human effort. In a time of often shrinking budgets and membership, rowboat churches frantically row harder against a current, often frustrated and disappointed at their efforts. Sailboat churches, on the other hand, take up the oars, hoist sales, and rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them. Arguing that churches should be “sailboats,” author Joan S. Gray encourages readers to shift concern from the many daily, practical concerns of their local church to consider how new directions might be found by allowing the Holy Spirit to provide fresh ideas. The book includes four days of sailing prayers, quotes from Scripture, brief reflection questions, and an extensive bibliography that is arranged by theme. Perfect for groups to read together, this book will help leaders reframe their church’s mission and practice with the Holy Spirit as their guide.

Author: David S. Luecke
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1490830073
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
From the author: I think of the Holy Spirit as the dove from Jesus baptism whispering godly thoughts into my ear. The Holy Spirit is Gods wind in our lives today. He can bring excitement to believers on their journey to becoming more like Christ. I will try to make the best case for how we Word-oriented believers can learn to thrive in the Spirit and then share these ways with others. What I offer, in my view, does not contradict anything in classical Reformation theology Your Encounters with the Holy Spirit: Name and Share ThemSeek More explores how to recognize the Holy Spirit at work today; what the Bible teaches us on the Spirits work now; how to share encounters with the Spirit; and how to shape a more Spirit-oriented church culture. Copy and use chapter discussion guides in order to involve those who have not yet read the book. Study on your own key New Testament passages set aside in a separate section. Consider A Coherent Theology for the Work of the Holy Spirit Today, presented in a final essay on the eighteenth-century Continental Pietists and the nineteenth-century Awakening movements. Share your stories and reflections through the forums available on www.ThrivingintheSpirit.net. The resources section includes outlines for preaching series and ways to share your own resources.

Sailing Acts
Author: Linford Stutzman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 168099266X
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
For those who love sailing and you-are-there travel literature. Also for those who enjoy studying the life and times of the Apostle Paul. But definitely for those who love adventure, or at least reading about it! Seafaring isn't for the faint of heart. It wasn't for the Apostle Paul in the first century A.D.—shipwrecked, imprisoned, and often a stranger in foreign lands. And it turned out to be a heart-stopping task some two thousand years later, when a religion professor and his wife undertook a 14-month journey by sailboat! They stopped in eight countries, visiting every site where Paul stopped on his tumultuous missionary journeys. "Sailing Acts" traces this 21st-century voyage from Volos, Greece, to Rome, Italy, by car, by foot, by motorized scooter, but mostly on a 33-foot boat, logging more than 3600 nautical miles over two sailing seasons. "Explorers are easy to admire or despise, but very difficult to understand without going on the trip," writes Stutzman. "To really appreciate the experiences, the drama, and development of Paul the explorer, you need to sail with him." So begins Sailing Acts, inviting readers to come on board. Stutzman draws thoughtful comparisons from his own travel mishaps and adventures to the ones Paul experienced on his journeys. This book is in the tradition of Bruce Feiler's Walking the Bible. Stutzman's knowledge of the socio-political setting in the first-century Roman empire provides an informative backdrop to understanding Paul and reading his epistles in a new light. The book includes dozens of photos, maps showing the couple's travel routes, a list of all the repairs and replacements Stutzman made to the aging boat which he bought sight-unseen, and an itinerary of places they visited. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports—books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team. In addition to books on popular team sports, we also publish books for a wide variety of athletes and sports enthusiasts, including books on running, cycling, horseback riding, swimming, tennis, martial arts, golf, camping, hiking, aviation, boating, and so much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
