Download or read book Baseball Hits and Bible Bits written by Frank D. Minton and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Baseball Hits and Bible Bits, pastor and former Minor League pitcher Frank D. Minton shares unforgettable stories and anecdotes about two of his great loves in lifebaseball and the Bible. When Minton was eleven years old, God called him to preach; that call to serve the Lord would never leave his heart. His north high school exploits on the ball fields of Wichita, Kansas, earned him a scholarship at the University of Oklahoma and eventually a contract with the Dodgers organization. After three years in the minors, he realized that following Gods call was more important than making it to the big leagues. He turned down the Dodgers contract offer for a fourth year, leaving baseball behind to become a Baptist minister. It was one of the most difficult decisions of his life, but according to Minton, he traded a diamond for a crown. Baseball poems and songs are sprinkled throughout, and sketches by artist Berth-el Young add dimension and feeling. With stories about baseball greats both past and presentsuch as Sandy Koufax, Josh Hamilton, and Albert Pujolsand rich autobiographical details of a life lived in the service of the Lord, Baseball Hits and Bible Bits has something for just about everybody: from little leaguers to bush leaguers to big leaguers.

Book excerpt: God’s Prophets Demand Justice This summer, lessons in ADULT BIBLE STUDIES follow the theme “God’s Prophets Demand Justice.” The student book writer is Sarah McGiverin. Stan Purdum is the writer for the teacher book. Unit 1 Amos Rails Against Injustice The four lessons in this unit come from the Book of Amos. The first lesson focuses on knowing right from wrong and choosing wrong. Lesson 2 deals with attempts to hide injustice. Lesson 3 focuses on the injustice of greed and selfishness, while Lesson 4 deals with failure to heed warnings to end injustice. Judgment on Israel and Judah (Amos 2:4-8) God Is Not Fooled (Amos 5:14-15, 18-27) Rebuked for Selfishness (Amos 6:2-8, 11-14) God Will Never Forget (Amos 8:1-6, 9-10) Unit 2 Micah Calls for Justice Among Unjust People The first lesson in this four-lesson unit from Micah focuses on social and moral injustice. Lesson 2 deals with the injustice of corrupt leaders. The last two lessons examine what God requires for justice and how God dispenses mercy to restore justice. No Rest for the Wicked (Micah 2:4-11) No Tolerance for Corrupt Leaders and Prophets (Micah 3:5-12) Justice, Love, and Humility (Micah 6:3-8) God Shows Clemency (Micah 7:14-20) Unit 3 Advocates of Justice for All The final unit this quarter offers five lessons from five different biblical prophets. Lesson 1 features Isaiah’s prophecies that God will come as a redeemer bringing righteousness and justice to Israel. Lesson 2 focuses on Jeremiah’s description of corruption in the Temple as a choice to do good or bad, resulting in God’s blessing or punishment. In Lesson 3, the focus is on Ezekiel’s call for confession and repentance in order to build a healthy faith community. Lesson 4 features Zechariah’s words on God’s clear instruction for showing kindness, mercy, and justice to others. Finally, Lesson 5 examines Malachi’s efforts to inform the people that God requires justice and faithfulness and will bestow bountiful blessings in proportion to what they were willing to give. Our Redeemer Comes (Isaiah 59:15-21) A Choice to Be Just (Jeremiah 7:1-15) A Call for Repentance (Ezekiel 18:1-13, 31-32) God Demands Justice (Zechariah 7:8-14) Return to a Just God (Malachi 3:1-10) Developed for use with the student book based on the Uniform Series, this leader resource provides a wealth of information, planning ideas, and lesson guides for each of the 13 lessons in the quarter.

Book excerpt: Faith and Baseball have long been important factors in the life of author Gary Graf, each one inspiring valuable lessons on living. "I keep returning to them both," he says. "Each has taught me lessons about love, loss, and life. Each has its own rewards and its version of universal truth. I'm no theologian by any standard, and I never could throw a curve ball with any precision. But I do think there's a symbiotic relationship between that which was heaven sent and the game which is heaven on earth."

Download or read book Couples in the Bible written by Jim Schnorrenberg and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read and apply this book and build a strong marriage. Real stories. Real couples. We see it allsuccess, heartbreak, evil, flaws, love. There is no shortage of good marriage books. Most are topical studies of marital issues and how to resolve them. They are great resources. This book goes right to the core of a biblical marriage. It is less of mans opinions and more on what God said about marriage. The Bible gives us short accounts of couples, but not a complete account of any one couple. It supplies us with rich stories and insights of how they lived and loved. We know these people. In many ways, their lives are our lives. They are real people who fell in love, raised a family, argued, and grew old together (well, some of them did). God pulls back the curtain, and we see these couples warts and all. There is no sugar-coating, no spin job. We see people and couples in their best behavior and worst behavior. However, this is helpful to us as we can learn from both the good and the bad, and even the downright evil. Enjoy this book. Apply the biblical truths. I pray that this book may be the catalyst to save or strengthen your marriage. May you enjoy a lifetime of love!

Download or read book Telling the Truth written by Dr. Marvin Olasky and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Think of what revitalizing journalism would do for the cause of Christ in America! It is the most needed sort of pre-evangelism; it is training in Christian worldview; it is an aid to sanctification, and you need to teach people how to do it." --J. I. Packer to Marvin Olasky Telling the Truth is Dr. Olasky's valuable response to this charge from the noted theologian. In it he emphasizes both the philosophical and the practical: detailing the need for Christian journalists to have a well developed worldview, and giving essential instruction to help them hone their writing, editing, and interviewing skills. The shortcomings of modern journalism are many. Too often evangelical publications, instead of exhibiting the journalistic excitement of the hunt, are content printing public-relations releases and carrying on their business in a joyless manner. But it doesn't have to be this way. Indeed, as Christians, it must not be this way! We are called to excellence; to do our work in such a way that it glorifies the Creator Himself. This incisive book not only urges journalists to grasp the significance of their purpose but also shows them how to more effectively accomplish it. As Olasky says, "If even fifty new, talented, biblically directed journalists were to emerge in America during the next few years, the revitalization of Christian journalism would be well under way."

The stories of these early baseball stars shed unexpected light not only on the evolution of baseball and on the enthusiasm of its players and fans all across America, but also on the broader convulsions transforming the US into a confident new industrial society."--Page [4] of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you ever feel like you are “being” something as opposed to “believing” in something? Are religious customs something you do out of an obligation to family and tradition? Have you ever questioned the role God plays in your life? In From Matzah Balls to My Bible: My Journey to Finding God, Heidi takes you along on a journey as she seeks to find answers to these questions. She begins to recognize how she has been held captive by the concepts of herself that others formed in her, and she begins to really explore just who God is in her life. What she learns along the way forever changes who she is, what she believes, and how she lives her life. As a result of seeking God and developing a relationship with him, Heidi develops a strength she never thought she had, and she learns to free herself from thoughts that held her captive. As a result of questioning and seeking answers, Heidi begins to transform her life from “being” Jewish to “believing” and developing faith and hope.

Download or read book Babe Ruth and the Creation of the Celebrity Athlete written by Thomas Barthel and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his first year in the majors, George Herman "Babe" Ruth knew he could profit from celebrity. Babe Ruth Cigars in 1915 marked his first attempt to cash in. Traded to the Yankees in 1920, he soon signed with Christy Walsh, baseball's first publicity agent. Walsh realized that stories of great deeds in sports were a commodity, and in 1921 sold Ruth's ghostwritten byline to a newspaper syndicate for $15,000 ($187,000 today). Ruth hit home runs while Walsh's writers made him a hero, crafting his public image as a lovable scalawag. Were the stories true? It didn't matter--they sold. Many survive but have never been scrutinized until now. Drawing on primary sources, this book examines the stories, separating exaggerated facts from clear falsehoods. This book traces Ruth's ascendance as the first great media-created superstar and celebrity product endorser.
