Eating only when truly hungry, rather than when the clock dictates, frees us to pursue authentic living. We can push back true hunger for hours by exercise that strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular fitness. This book, without being autobiographical, describes the author's ongoing physical and spiritual transformation, which began at age sixty-three. The sincere pursuit of Christ must include physical and spiritual self-discipline and the willingness to embrace suffering, including fasting. Sweaty, Sore, Sometimes Hungry challenges readers to get off of the couch, purchase the gym membership and training shoes, and love God authentically--as whole, faithful stewards of the bodies he entrusted to their care. Obesity and other lifestyle diseases are not acceptable options for the children of God, for those sincerely desiring to live to "the praise of his glory" (Eph 1:12).
A marriage can thrive when the husband constantly pursues his wife, seeking to win--again--what he already holds: her heart! Through his constant pursuit, a man of God emulates the consistent, gentle pursuit of the Holy Spirit in his own life. The Christian Husband's Handbook challenges the reader to pursue full Christlike masculinity by embracing sacrificial servant leadership in his home. This book offers a fresh perspective on marriage and family living, supported by a bibliography of almost 120 recently published sources. The Handbook features two unique sections at the end of each chapter: 1. "Listen to the Lady" offers a woman's reflection on the topics; her thoughts enrich and illustrate the chapter's content in a unique way. 2. "Deal with It," a four-part application section at the end of each chapter, invites the reader to grow as a husband and father by reading additional sources, thinking-reflecting on their content, and then praying about, and acting on, the chapter's primary message. Both authors firmly believe that Christian homes should be places of laughter, joy, and growth as men of God constantly pursue the treasure they already hold.
Pete Sawyer is a private eye of a different kind. The son of a World War II American pilot and a brave French resistance fighter, he grew up on both sides of the Atlantic -- though he prefers his sun-dappled villa on the Riviera to most other places. He takes pleasure in a fine wine...and a good gun. His French name is Pierre-Ange, and it suits him. In English, it means Stone Angel. Minding his own business at a favorite Nice creperie, Pete notices a teenage girl hurrying by -- with a desperate look on her face. Moments later, two cops arrive, a young actor named Bruno Ravic bursts from a nearby doorway, shots are fired, and Pete's most dangerous case to date begins! The girl is Odile Garnier, and her father (former Grand Prix champ Egon Mulhausser) hires Pete to find her. But what is the connection between Odile and Bruno, who is murdered just a few days later? And why do so many clues seem to lead to the Cannes Film Festival...and to a certain director? Pete Sawyer must go underground -- literally -- to save lives and solve this sensational mystery!
