Download or read book The Courting of Marcus Dupree written by Willie Morris and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2011-02-11 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of Marcus Dupree's birth, when Deep South racism was about to crest and shatter against the Civil Rights Movement, Willie Morris journeyed north in a circular transit peculiar to southern writers. His memoir of those years, North Toward Home, became a modern classic. In The Courting of Marcus Dupree he turned again home to Mississippi to write about the small town of Philadelphia and its favorite son, a black high-school quarterback. In Marcus Dupree, Morris found a living emblem of that baroque strain in the American character called "southern." Beginning on the summer practice fields, Morris follows Marcus Dupree through each game of his senior varsity year. He talks with the Dupree family, the college recruiters, the coach and the school principal, some of the teachers and townspeople, and, of course, with the young man himself. As the season progresses and the seventeen-year-old Dupree attracts a degree of national attention to Philadelphia neither known nor endured since "the Troubles" of the early sixties, these conversations take on a wider significance. Willie Morris has created more than a spectator's journal. He writes here of his repatriation to a land and a people who have recovered something that fear and misdirected loyalties had once eclipsed. The result is a fascinating, unusual, and even topical work that tells a story richer than its apparent subject, for it brings the whole of the eighties South, with all its distinctive resonances, to life.

Book excerpt: When everything is on the line, great men turn to strength and faith—in football and in life.

Anecdotes from the greatest players in the game—Johnny Unitas, Tim Tebow, Paul Bear Bryant, RGIII, Bryan "Bart" Starr, Matt Hasselbeck, and more—and their coaches demonstrate how glory, on and off the field, hinges on a solid relationship with God and the guts with which one plays out life’s challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How three football legends -- Bill Walsh, Joe Gibbs, and Bill Parcells -- won eight Super Bowls during the 1980s and changed football forever. Bill Walsh, Joe Gibbs and Bill Parcells dominated what may go down as the greatest decade in pro football history, leading their teams to a combined eight championships and developing some of the most gifted players of all time in the process. Walsh, Gibbs and Parcells developed such NFL stars as Joe Montana, Lawrence Taylor, Jerry Rice, Art Monk and Darrell Green. They resurrected the careers of players like John Riggins, Joe Theismann, Doug Williams, Everson Walls and Hacksaw Reynolds. They did so with a combination of guts and genius, built championship teams in their own likeness, and revolutionized pro football like few others. Their influence is still evident in today's game, with coaches who either worked directly for them or are part of their coaching trees now winning Super Bowls and using strategy the three men devised and perfected. In interviews with more than 150 players, coaches, family members and friends, GUTS AND GENIUS digs into the careers of three men who overcame their own insecurities and doubts to build Hall of Fame legacies that transformed their generation and continue to impact today's NFL.

Book excerpt: Let's face it, seminary failed to prepare you for church growth, strategic planning, land acquisition, facility development and high growth staffing. Yet, at some point, every church faces these challenges. What if there was a way that you could learn from someone else's experience? And what if that person, rather than simply pointing you in the right direction, was willing to journey along with you, as a coach, a friend and an advisor? And what if that person had a proven track record and has worked with many of the fastest growing churches in America? In Fueling Vision: A Common Pastor's Guide to Uncommon Success, Oaster gives church leaders a step-by-step guide to navigate the world of strategic planning, church growth and facility development. Oaster will equip you with the knowledge and direction needed to plan out your ministry objectives, avoid being taken to the cleaners by staff, realtors, architects and builders, and rapidly move your ministry towards the complete realization of it's potential. For over thirty years, Bradley Oaster has worked with Christian churches throughout the country to guide and direct church leaders toward the fulfillment of their ministry's potential. Brad's depth of experience and success is unmatched. Among the 100 fastest growing churches in America today, three of the top ten churches partnered with Oaster in the early formation of their ministries. In 2000, Scott Wilson and his dad, Tom Wilson engaged Brad Oaster to develop a long-range plan for what would later become, The Oaks Fellowship. "I remember sitting in my office in 2000 wishing there was someone I could call that could help me know what I should do. I would have done anything to find someone who had walked this path before – a person who could act as a coach, a friend, and an advisor. Our church has seen incredible growth and breakthrough since we met Brad - from one location to two locations, six major building programs, from two to eight services each Sunday, from 0 small groups to over 100 small groups, from 650 people to 2,400 people in weekly attendance."
