The old world is passing and the new one is pulling us in like a new vacuum sucking up dust bunnies that have been sleeping under the bed. But not into a bag to be discarded. Into a world where dust bunnies are the gods and have all the clover they need and are...

Why do sports matter so much to so many people? And why should we care? Far from being a distraction or a trivial pastime, sports tell us deep truths about ourselves. Big-time sports are a particularly potent mirror for humanity-reflecting both our promising possibilities and our demonic distortions. Theologian (and football coach's wife) Marcia Mount Shoop invites you to take a closer look at the hold that sports have on us. Touchdowns for Jesus...

There will never be another story like that of Leeds United Football Club in the 1960s. Post-war industrial England, a dirty hinterland in the North and Midlands where the skyline was punctuated by grimy old stacks and evil-looking factories. It was a simpler time, but also less informed; if you said 'Prosecco', 'Paparazzi' and 'Literati' to even the worldly-wise gentlemen of the press, after the sneer, you might have got a guess that you were discussing...

The message is clear and simple, yet we as Christians, those growing in Christian faith and those seeking what Christianity has to offer, cloud these simple words with all types of questions and doubts. This book attempts...

In The Proving Ground, Lars Anderson brings to life the tremendous drama of NFL Europe by spending an entire season with the Scottish Claymores of Glasgow Life in the minor leagues of football, which NFL Europe was aptly dubbed, could be funny, sad, profound and ludicrous all at the same time.
