Download or read book The Christian Olympics written by S. E. Gregg and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian Olympics: Going for the Gold Crowns, the unveiling of the Bible's comparison of the Christian race to the Olympic Games, is the spin-off from the newspaper article titled "The Christian Olympics are still going on!" written by the author. Today more than ever Christians are discouraged in their walk with God because of the multitudes of personal problems, suffering, and worldly events that have occurred. Some have given up, lost hope in their faith, and/or don't feel that living holy lives matters anymore. The Christian Olympics will stir up Christians, igniting their spiritual fires to look forward to what is ahead. When Christians see themselves as players in an Olympic game, it gives them a new understanding and exhilaration for the Christian life, as spiritual athletes. Readers will actually visualize themselves in a spiritual athletic competition. - Publisher.

Book Synopsis Head Start in the Christian Olympics by : Clayton Watkins
Download or read book Head Start in the Christian Olympics written by Clayton Watkins and published by . This book was released on 2003-12 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book for all Christians of all walks of life. It is also a challenge to the unsaved. The author has never discovered a published book on the entire subject of the Christian Olympics. The author's information is gathered from our "Assembly Brethren" who over forty-one years taught us to take notes and to develop the subject matter for ourselves. It fulfills the solemn need that we should earnestly contend for the faith, which was once for all delivered unto the saints and simultaneously building up ourselves on the most holy faith. The approach taken is from the image of the Olympian, Pythian, Nemean and Ishmian games introduced from the time of the Graeco- Macedonian Empire. Palestine was also introduced to the national games of the Greeks. The Romans carried on many of the Greek athletic customs, but came to give special prominence to their gladiatorial shows. We too, by way of comparison, are competitors in the Christian arena, striving for the mastery. We have then taken up this current challenge in our world of sports and have woven it within a scriptural framework to arouse and awaken Christians to rethink their mission and " Call to Action."

Download or read book For the Glory written by Duncan Hamilton and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eric Liddell was as close to a saint as any man in modern history has been. Renowned for his athletic prowess, it was also his deeply entrenched values that set him apart from the crowd. These qualities were never better illustrated than in the 1924 Paris Olympics when, having declined his place in the 100 metres owing to the fact that the race was run on a Sunday, he produced an astonishing performance to win gold in the 400 metres, and captured the hearts of the world. Liddell was immortalised in the Oscar-winning Chariots of Fire, but that film barely scratched the surface of his life (as well as being economical with the facts). It was China, where he had grown up, that was Liddell's passion, and his zeal was to improve the lot of its most unfortunate people, in a time of terrible violence and danger, when the country lay under the brutal hand of the invading Japanese army. He was literally on a mission, a force for good in the world. For the Glory takes the reader from Liddell the fastest man on the planet, through Liddell the man with a higher purpose, to Liddell when he had to be stronger than all around him, detained in an internment camp under terrible conditions, when he became the moral centre of an otherwise unbearable world. Liddell would make the ultimate sacrifice, but the story of his life continues to inspire generation after generation, from all walks of life. This is the story of a true hero of our times.

Download or read book Winning Balance written by Shawn Johnson and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-06-05 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At age 20, American gymnast Shawn Johnson is a four-time Olympic gold and silver medalist; a national- and world-champion athlete. Already a popular role model to all ages, in 2009 she captured the national spotlight again when she won the widely popular Dancing with the Stars. Yet Shawn is no stranger to hard work and adversity. Her loss of the major gymnastics prize everyone expected her to win in Beijing, the all-around Olympic gold medal, was the loss of a dream she’d worked for since childhood. And later, she suffered a staggering injury in a skiing accident that forced her life to a halt and made her rethink what was really important. She wasn’t sure who she was anymore. She wasn’t sure what her goals were. And she wasn’t sure she was satisfied with where she was with her faith and God. Could she find the right kind of success in life—the kind that doesn’t involve medals or trophies, but peace, love, and lasting joy? This is the amazing true journey of how the young woman who won an Olympic gold medal on the balance beam became even more balanced.
