Once A Pear... is the enthralling cricketing story of Daryl Mitchell - the ultimate 'one-club man'. Daryl graduated from the village game to become the first Worcestershire captain born in the county since 1925. He turned down offers from other, more famous counties to play for the club for 17 years in a turbulent career that saw five promotions, five relegations and short-form triumphs in the Pro40 competition and the Twenty20 Blast. A club legend, 38 first-class county hundreds put him sixth in the all-time list of Worcestershire centurions, while his 295 catches place him eighth in the fielding records. Four years as chairman of the Professional Cricketers' Association speaks volumes for the esteem he is held in by fellow professionals. In Once A Pear... Daryl reveals what it takes to be a successful county cricketer, and the impact on a player's mental health, while exploring how the game has changed in the last 20 years. This is the story of a true cricket man.
This book reveals the beginning and the end of religion. Nimrod and Abraham are the founders. They are the first leaders of religion after the flood of Noah and their two systems account for every religion in the world. They also started the two strains of government, totalitarianism and democracy. Their conflict ends in The Revelation.
As a teenager I asked, "Why do young people leave the church after high school?'' This book is my answer and solution after asking for more than 25 years. Young people leave the church because while they have grown up physically and psychologically, they haven't developed spiritually. There are seven stages of spiritual growth from a Christian perspective. There is one path to spiritual maturity, and all must pass through the same stages to get there. The Spiritual Life Cycle explains the learning tasks, crises, keys, and symbols of each stage. It teaches the steps necessary to move from one stage to the next. It is not just another book about the necessity of prayer, bible study, etc. It is a manual to help churches keep and nurture their people to spiritual maturity.
I had an opportunity to learn people's basic questions about God by working in a Christian treatment center for the depressed and addicted. I was asked to design a daily teaching group to introduce clients to Christian principles. The chapters of this book contain those sessions I found to be the most life changing. Because our society has little knowledge of God, we must show people God's ways regarding the basic questions of forgiveness, holiness, mercy, justice, etc. before we can teach them more difficult doctrines. The lessons were repeated to hundreds of people. I've seen many people accept Christ and many Christians transformed through these teachings, and the remarkable fact is, I never gave an invitation or asked people to come to God. They asked. This book is presented as a three-month leadership guide for small groups. It will serve those small groups looking for a way to introduce unbelievers to the power of the Christian perspective and for believers who want to deepen their faith.
