Download or read book Warrior s Creed written by Roger Sparks and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The riveting story of how a young boy's upbringing with outlaw culture and charismatic role models forged him into an elite Marine and a decorated Pararescueman. "Absence of self is my sword" comprises the final line in "The Warrior's Creed," a 14th century poem written by an unknown Japanese Samurai, and this is the code Master Sergeant Roger Sparks embodied as a Recon Marine turned Alaskan Pararescueman. A living legend in the military, Sparks first made a name for himself within elite Marine Reconnaissance units. He went on to become an instructor where he trained future Reconnaissance Marines with unorthodox and ancient indigenous warrior techniques. A decade later, the same methods would keep him and others alive, when he hoisted into a maelstrom of violence to rescue an embattled platoon in the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan. Introduced to a tough code of honor, family, and brotherhood from birth, Roger Sparks rose to become a distinguished instructor in Marine Reconnaissance and a Silver Star recipient as an Alaska Pararescueman. A raw and exhilarating tale of guts, grit, and heart, Warrior's Creed recounts the hidden side of special operations training, heroic and heartbreaking Alaskan wilderness rescues, and the surreal and deadly rescues during Operation Bulldog Bite in Afghanistan’s Watapur Valley. This powerful and inspirational story is as much of a self-help book as it is an edge of your seat military memoir. Warrior's Creed reveals a motivating and mindful approach to overcoming the odds, facing the impossible, and finding mercy and grace in the aftermath.
Download or read book The Impossible Faith written by James Patrick Holding and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Thesis So Explosive, An Atheist Paid $5,000 for An Answer The Impossible Faith offers the proposition that Christianity could not have succeeded unless it had indisputable proof of the resurrection of Jesus. Had there not been such evidence, Christianity would have been an "impossible faith". Using his seventeen years of experience in apologetics ministry, the author will demonstrate the impossibility of Christianity in the eyes of the people of the first century and present an apologetic for Jesus' resurrection. Christians will be encouraged and emboldened by the message of The Impossible Faith, realizing "how firm a foundation" they have in Christ Jesus. Non-Christians will be challenged to consider the truth of Christianity in a new light. The arguments in this book are so powerful that one atheist paid over $5,000 for a response. It is impossible to estimate the evangelistic impact that is possible because of The Impossible Faith. James Patrick Holding is President of Tekton Apologetics Ministries, one of the leading apologetics ministries on the Internet. Tekton Apologetics Ministries was recommended by apologist and prominent author Lee Strobel on Hank Hanegraaff's The Bible Answerman in December, 2001. Holding has written over 1700 articles for his ministry, as well as articles for the Christian Research Journal and for the publications of Creation Ministries International . He has also published The Mormon Defenders: How Latter-Day Saint Apologists Misinterpret the Bible. He lives in Central Florida with his beloved wife and a very small, very spoiled poodle.
Download or read book Sinner s Creed written by Scott Stapp and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sinner’s Creed is the uncensored memoir of Scott Stapp, Grammy Award–winning leader of the multiplatinum rock band CREED. During CREED’s decade of dominance and in the years following the band’s breakup, Scott struggled with drugs and alcohol, which led not only to a divorce, but also to a much-publicized suicide attempt in 2006. Now clean, sober, and in the midst of a highly successful solo career, Scott has finally come full circle—a turnaround he credits to his renewed faith in God. In Sinner's Creed, Scott shares his story for the first time—from his fundamentalist upbringing, the rise and fall of CREED, and his ongoing battle with addiction, the rediscovery of his faith, and the launch of his solo career. The result is a gripping memoir that is proof positive that God is always present in our lives, despite the colossal mess we sometimes make of them.

Book excerpt: Sachi is an unusual looking woman. 29 years of age and single, tattooed, solo traveler. She wanders away to places her heart craves for, in search of meaning or in search of nothing. She is about to hit 30 and comfortable with it. She is currently single, which wouldn't have been, besides a cruel stroke of fate. In an unusual place where she goes to travel, she meets a man many years older to her. This man makes her feel curious about his existence and his presence in the small town where he lives. He shouldn't be living there, going by the way he looks. But he is there. She wonders about his life. It is a quaint small town where people bond with each other for love. It hadn't been always so but events happened which gave the town its very essence. The people of the town now speak collectively a single language-the language of love. Unexpectedly, Sachi has an argument with the old man while still on the trip and that leads to a conversation with him that wouldn't have happened otherwise. He does something she would not expect and that irritates her. The man would come into her life again at some point in time.When the trip gets over and she gets back to her home town, she meets her mother, who has had a tough life. Many a time, she wishes that her mother's life wasn't as difficult but there was nothing she could do to help it. Her parents never really loved each other. They had an arranged marriage. People don't really love each other in arranged marriages, Sachi grows up to believe. In the office, she meets her friend and colleague Sapna who introduces her to someone new in the office. The new person seems familiar to her but she doesn't understand the reason behind the familiarity for a long time. They start working and things begin to happen. The man does something totally unexpected one day. It takes Sachi by surprise and she doesn't know what to do. Later, he apologizes to Sachi for the incident and confesses that he has started falling for her. Sachi dismisses his advances and tells him to back off. But, he persists. This is not a man who would give up on love so easily. He wants to know the reasons why Sachi isn't interested to have a conversation and he persists. Sachi doesn't want to talk about it. She has her reasons. She doesn't talk about it because she is scared of love. She is scared of what might happen if she would allow her vulnerabilities to get better of her, once again. She is scared of love not reaching its worthwhile end. It has happened to her before and she doesn't want it to happen to her again. She craves to be loved but she is also scared of the consequences. But, he persists. Raga is an unusually determined man. He is brave and he has his reasons. He belongs to a family where courage is a tradition. His parents did something during their lifetime which has become a landmark memory in his mind and he gets his life references from their lives. He doesn't believe in giving up on love, whatever be the consequences. Therefore, no matter what Sachi says, he doesn't give up on her. Sachi wonders, if this would be another impossible relationship, like her last one.
Download or read book Stories of Desire and Narratives of Faith written by Victor Hunter and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories are the foundation for identity and the ground of understanding. Stories of Desire and Narratives of Faith addresses humankind's search for identity and meaning through the stories of science and religion. Both arose in the mists of history. Both are awe inspiring. Both beggar the imagination. Both have always competed for authority. Science gained preeminence in our postmodern, pluralistic, globalized world as evidenced based, while religion (for many reasons) lost credibility. Yet religion has not disappeared. Stories is a concise, engaging, inspiring accessible account of the history of science (geological and biological evolution perceived through increasingly sophisticated technology) and the history of nine text-based world religions of antiquity. Stories avoids insider language, democratizing both God talk and scientific jargon without patronizing either. There is no attempt to identify the best or truest religion, and Stories disavows dogmatic religious triumphalism. The authors do follow the tradition of giving an account of their Christian faith, the only religious story with which they have experience. They invite others to do the same, paying attention to their own stories as they grapple with modern science, do theology, and engage faith. Stories proposes how and in what manner these disciplines can meaningfully converse in today's world.
