Download or read book Second Wind written by Nathaniel Philbrick and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A charming memoir of midlife by the bestselling author of Mayflower and In the Hurricane's Eye, recounting his attempt to recapture a national sailing championship he'd won at twenty-two. “There had been something elemental and all consuming about a Sunfish. Nothing could compare to the exhilaration of a close race in a real blow—the wind howling and spray flying as my Sunfish and I punched through the waves to the finish.” In the spring of 1992, Nat Philbrick was in his late thirties, living with his family on Nantucket, feeling stranded and longing for that thrill of victory he once felt after winning a national sailing championship in his youth. Was it a midlife crisis? It was certainly a watershed for the journalist-turned-stay-at-home dad, who impulsively decided to throw his hat into the ring, or water, again. With the bemused approval of his wife and children, Philbrick used the off-season on the island as his solitary training ground, sailing his tiny Sunfish to its remotest corners, experiencing the haunting beauty of its tidal creeks, inlets, and wave-battered sandbars. On ponds, bays, rivers, and finally at the championship on a lake in the heartland of America, he sailed through storms and memories, racing for the prize, but finding something unexpected about himself instead.

Download or read book Preaching Paul written by Dr. Brad R. Braxton and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helpful and insightful strategies for preaching from the writings of Paul. Few biblical figures are more compelling to preachers than the apostle Paul. The story of his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus is a favorite example of the way that God turns lives around. His writings contain the earliest witness we have to the Christian gospel. His message of God's offer of grace in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ is deeply appealing. So why is it that when it comes time to choose a text for this Sunday's sermon, preachers so often choose something other than Paul? When Brad Braxton asked himself that question, he realized that preachers are often daunted by the size and complexity of the Pauline corpus. Drawing on his expertise as a New Testament scholar and homiletics professor, as well as on his experience as a pastor, Braxton offers the reader tools with which to wrestle more effectively with the complex, yet essential, message of Paul. Eschewing either a solely historical approach or a completely spiritual one, the author brings the two together to explore the meaning of Paul's message in its original context, as well as its contemporary application. Written with imagination and depth of understanding, this book is for anyone who wishes to know Paul better and to preach from his letters more effectively.

The gift of the Holy Spirit was always God's plan for all of his followers. In Second Wind of the Holy Spirit, fresh fillings of the Holy Spirit are explored. Remember, Jesus promised his followers peace in life and power for service. With the Spirit's help, believers can live a Spirit-filled life. Would you like to help others grow spiritually? Do you yearn for God's comfort in times of grief for yourself and others? Are you bored with your spiritual life? God's second wind of the Holy Spirit opens new and challenging ways to serve Jesus. How do you feel about death? Second wind of the Holy Spirit goes to Calvary and listens to Jesus as he deals with his death and speaks his Seven Words from the cross. God's second wind of the Holy Spirit shatters doubts, melts fear, changes indifference, reveals scripture, and creates a bold prayer life. The Holy Spirit helps God's people serve him in ways they never thought possible. Lazarus died and was buried. Jesus said, "Lazarus, come out." He came out of the tomb wrapped in grave clothes. "Untie him and let him go," Jesus said (John 11:43-44)--in the same way God's second wind of the Holy Spirit frees his followers and releases them to live in the fullness of his amazing grace.

From these destroyed forms the genderless eternal voice of snake is born. In Second Wind the poems--with choral asides--explore the possibility that life is only an agreed upon illusion, only real within a certain narrow bandwidth in the sense fog is created by a confluence of heat and moisture for an undetermined time until it disappears back to its constituents. The poems in Second Wind describe and channel the invisible realities infinitely curled around the visible ones--where fictions--invented stories--dreams, the aspirations and histories--the living and the presumed dead--are all present and real forever"--
