Book Description
Do you still curse yourself over the day you met your hero; when instead of asking him the one question that's been nagging you for years, you couldn't utter a word because you were suddenly (and uncharacteristically) struck dumb? Well, curse no more. Still Talking Blue is a unique collection of interviews that will answer everything you wanted to know about your Everton heroes and with none of the unnecessary waffle - because it only asks the relevant questions, as submitted by the fans. Collated via the Internet, disenfranchised Evertonions scattered across the globe proudly display their astounding recall of bygone events and trivia. From Iceland to South Africa, Australia to Israel, long-suffering Bluenoses are finally given the opportunity to ask questions of their heroes and they do so with panache. The book contains in-depth interviews spanning the decades from the '50s, when shorts were long and Dave Hickson's quiff was the envy of Hollywood, right through to Dave Watson's final days at the club. Join us as we endeavour to track down John Bailey's 'big hat' and Gordon West's handbag, and move seamlessly on to more pressing topics such as Kevin Ratcliffe's biggest regret, Mick Lyon's worst injury and Alan Harper's favourite goal. So, if you lie awake at night wondering just what went wrong in the '68 Cup Final, whether Jimmy Gabriel still has his white trench coat, if Barry Horne really does like The Cocteau Twins or how Dave Hickson has managed to hang on to his hair, then unfurrow your brow because the answers all lie within these pages. No Evertonion should be expected to survive without this book.

Book Description
Is God still talking? This book makes the question a statement. God is still talking. The real question is: Are you listening? God is still talking to you.

Pages : 156
Book Description
In today's society everyone is busy-busy taking the kids to school, busy with work, busy with life. We're always rushing to and fro, never really taking the time to slow down. We throw a quick 'Lord, keep me safe today,' in the mornings, but Wait a Minute, God's Still Talking. In their second book, Warren and Mary Beth Powell, highlight the importance of taking the time to listen to what God has to say back to you. Wait a Minute, God's Still Talking is a collection of short stories like you'd hear told from your grandparents on the back porch-simple, easy-to-understand, and yet always pointing toward God's faithfulness. Warren and Mary Beth share from their own experiences, blending insights, wit, and humor with biblical truths, To show how God will use everyday items to catch our attention and teach us something, if only we'd stop to listen. Did you ever think God would use: bull; paper towels to teach about being centered on Christ, bull; a motorcycle license plate to explain his forgiveness, bull; Scotch tape as an example that he is our God 24/7, bull; or a cell phone as a lesson about hiding sin? Warren and Mary Beth Powell live in Henderson, Texas. This is their second book, a continuation of Sonbeams, or short devotionals, that began in their first book, A Dirty Sink, A Bug, and Squirrels: God Speaks.

Unbelievable?
Author: Justin Brierley
Publisher: SPCK
ISBN: 0281077991
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Conversations matter. Yet, recently, good conversations about faith have been increasingly squeezed out of the public sphere. Seeking to reopen the debate, Justin Brierley began to invite atheists and sceptics on to Premier Christian Radio to air arguments for and against the Christian faith. But how has ten years of discussion with atheists affected the presenter’s faith? Reflecting on conversations with Richard Dawkins, Derren Brown and many more, Justin explains why he still finds Christianity the most compelling explanation for life, the universe and everything. And why, regardless of belief or background, we should all welcome the conversation. ‘Beautifully written, brilliantly argued, Justin’s book will thrill Christians and challenge atheists.’ R. T. Kendall, author and pastor ‘Justin has that happy knack of being able to get people of diametrically opposed opinions debating the big issues.’ John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics, University of Oxford

Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Sista Talk: The Personal and the Pedagogical is an inquiry into the questions of how Black women define their existence in a society which devalues, dehumanizes, and silences their beliefs.

They Called Me God
Author: Doug Harvey
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476748802
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The incredible memoir from the man voted one of the “Best Umpires of All Time” by the Society of American Baseball Research—filled with more than three decades of fascinating baseball stories. Doug Harvey was a California farm boy, a high school athlete who nevertheless knew that what he really wanted was to become an unsung hero—a major league umpire. Working his way through the minor leagues, earning three hundred dollars a month, he survived just about everything, even riots in stadiums in Puerto Rico. And while players and other umps hit the bars at night, Harvey memorized the rule book. In 1962, he broke into the big leagues and was soon listening to rookie Pete Rose worrying that he would be cut by the Reds and laying down the law with managers such as Tommy Lasorda and Joe Torre. This colorful memoir takes you behind the plate for some of baseball’s most memorable moments, including Roberto Clemente’s three thousandth and final hit; the heroic three-and-two pinch-hit home run by Kirk Gibson in the ’88 World Series; and the nail-biting excitement of the ’68 World Series. But beyond the drama, Harvey turned umpiring into an art. He was a man so respected, whose calls were so feared and infallible, that the players called him “God.” And through it all, he lived by three rules: never take anything from a player, never back down from a call, and never carry a grudge. A book for anyone who loves baseball, They Called Me God is a funny and fascinating tale of on- and off-the-field action, peopled by unforgettable characters from Bob Gibson to Nolan Ryan, and a treatise on good umpiring techniques. In a memoir that transcends the sport, Doug Harvey tells a gripping story of responsibility, fairness, and honesty.
