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.
