"Ready to win the Game of Life?"

The Bible talks a lot about training for life as an athlete trains for a race. Some days everything gels and you're in the zone, while other times you feel like you're limping along the sideline. Success in life-just like the sports world-requires maximum effort, dedicated discipline, intense concentration, experienced coaching, and a healthy daily diet. That's what "The One Year(R) Devos for Sports Fans" brings to you.

Each of the 365 "training sessions" utilizes the best equipment out there. Hundreds of replays from real-life competitions help you apply winning strategies for following God every day. Your coach? God himself. The playbook? His Word, the Bible.

Victory is yours when you train with the ultimate Champion.

Runners, take your mark . . .

She shows overburdened moms forty things Jesus doesn't expect them to do on their own.

The Bible. You've heard of it, yes? Maybe something about David and Goliath or Noah's ark, or a baby in a manger? What if I told you there was tons of stuff in the Bible that you've never heard about? Things like talking donkeys, self-conscious magicians, and kings who think they're cows. The Bible is a curious book full of deeply flawed people and a God who refuses to give up on them. Don't believe me? Look for yourself. In these 60 devotions, we examine these unique stories, the circumstances and biblical truth around them, and what they reveal about the heart of God.

Sacred Natural Sites are the world's oldest protected places. This book focuses on a wide spread of both iconic and lesser known examples such as sacred groves of the Western Ghats (India), Sagarmatha /Chomolongma (Mt Everest, Nepal, Tibet - and China), the Golden Mountains of Altai (Russia), Holy Island of Lindisfarne (UK) and the sacred lakes of the Niger Delta (Nigeria). The book illustrates that sacred natural sites, although often under threat, exist within and outside formally recognised protected areas, heritage sites. Sacred natural sites may well be some of the last strongholds for building resilient networks of connected landscapes. They also form important nodes for maintaining a dynamic socio-cultural fabric in the face of global change. The diverse authors bridge the gap between approaches to the conservation of cultural and biological diversity by taking into account cultural and spiritual values together with the socio-economic interests of the custodian communities and other relevant stakeholders.

Written by an anonymous priest-monk living in asceticism on the Holy Mountain of Athos, The Watchful Mind is the fruit of a life of deep prayer. The unknown writer was a hesychast-a practitioner of stillness and the Jesus Prayer-and in these pages he shares with readers his hidden life, a life filled with spiritual struggles, ecstatic experiences, and mystical revelations. Moved by a burning love for Christ, the author does not give us a neatly composed reflection on the spiritual life, but rather an account of his own passionate search. This work is a deeply personal account of one holy man's unique journey in the life of contemplation. It touches on many aspects of the spiritual and ascetic life, particularly the hesychastic themes of watchfulness, spiritual warfare, and prayer of the heart.
