I Am Peter is the story of Peter, the disciple and apostle, as told by Peter himself. I invite you to walk with Peter or perhaps just listen as he speaks to you about the segment of his life from the time he met Jesus through Pentecost in Jerusalem. Peter talks about learning to know Jesus, being called the “Rock,” walking on water, denying Jesus, the resurrection, and Pentecost. He talks about his doubts, fears, frustrations, joy, guilt, observations, reactions, relationships, and fishing. As you listen to Peter tell his story, you have the opportunity to walk in his shoes and think about what he said or did and imagine what you might have done. Just remember that you are a Jew two thousand years ago and have no knowledge of anything you know today. You have personal contact with Jesus and His teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection. The book is fictional as to Peter’s thoughts and reactions, but the things that occur are based on the Holy Bible with actual quotes and references. Peter as a person was an ordinary fisherman who enjoyed his work but over time became an extraordinary man. He was blunt, outspoken, and brash, but he also was curious, uncertain, and fearful to the point of denying Jesus. Through it all, Peter developed a great faith and passion to spread the Gospel of Jesus. Peter was touched by Jesus, and perhaps you will be touched in a different way after walking with Peter.
In 1939 British cyclist Tommy Godwin cycled 75,065 miles in a single year. Think about that for a second: that's an average of over 200 miles each day. And it's a mark that still stands after almost eighty years. In The Year, Dave Barter resurrects the legend of the year record - a challenge nearly as old as bicycles themselves - and the cyclists who pushed themselves to establish and break it. Barter uncovers the stories behind these riders who would routinely cycle over a hundred miles a day in the race to set new records: Americans such as John H. George who recorded over 200 'centuries', nineteen double 'centuries' and three triple 'centuries' in the late 1800s. The British advertising executive Harry Long, whose annual tallies of over 20,000 miles in the early twentieth century led to the founding of the formal cycling year record, and Cycling magazine's Century Competition. The Englishman of French descent, Marcel Planes, whose 1911 record of 34,366 miles stood for over twenty years. Not forgetting the legends of the job-seeking Arthur Humbles, the one-armed vegetarian communist Walter Greaves, the 'keep-fit girl' Billie Dovey and the staggering mark set by Godwin who left a youthful Bernard Bennett trailing in his wake. Meticulous research through the annuals, archives and news stories of the bicycling world is backed up with insights from the families of these legendary cyclists, as well as Dave's own analysis of the riders' years in numbers. There is no more difficult challenge in cycling. The Year is the definitive story of these phenomenal cyclists.

RFew of the many volumes I have read over the years have been truly inspirational. . . "Inspirit Revolution" is among the few that is life-changing. I heartily recommend this book to all who seek to thrive rather than merely survive and to influence their world by calling forth and cultivating all that is good.S--Don Riker, executive director of Teaching the Word Ministries.
