The Weight I Carried
"A lifelong outdoorsman, coppersmith, builder, and father, Steven has spent his life shaping metal, wood, and stone. But nothing shaped him more than love and loss. After the death of his beloved wife, Sandy, he turned to the Appalachian Trail-a dream they once shared--as a way to reconcile his loss with his faith. The 2,200-mile journey became more than a hike; it was a desperate reckoning. An abundance of hazards, from animals to broken bones and illness, delayed him. With grief and depression on his back, he dragged his past up and down each mountain, until in those last miles he felt whole again. The Appalachian Trail is a journey that strips bare the soul and forces those that travel upon it to confront their losses, their weaknesses, their strengths, and, most importantly, themselves. In this gripping and raw memoir, we follow Steven into the wilderness, as witnesses to his intimate reflections on a life lived hard and lived well. We see in Steven's narrative our own struggles with love and loss. We recognize our own wrestling with the seemingly cruel and inscrutable nature of God. Through Steven's unsparing soul searching, we can find self-forgiveness, and peace."
Basketball (Sports and Spirituality for Devotionals)
The practice of competing in sports has been around a long time. Archaeology provides valuable information on games and athletics in the ancient world. In I Corinthians 9:24-27, there is information of running a race to win and a man fighting. It concludes that the goal is to win a prize that will last forever. Man seems to enjoy competing. Perhaps boredom has a way of creating something to do. Over time, new sports and games are developed. In this day and time, commercialization will become involved as individuals strive to make money. As sports grow in popularity, rules are written and guidelines set. These regulating documents tend to expand as the sport grows in popularity. Terminology for the sport will be refined and expanded to explain the game and its rules.Sports and Spirituality is a series of devotional books. Each book relates spiritual principles and scriptures to terminology for a particular sport. Terms related to the sport are defined and then used as the central focus to develop devotional thoughts. Each book presents specific devotional thoughts related to the term being discussed. Scriptures are suggested to supplement the devotional study. Studies can be in a group format or individual. The book is written to spark interest for the sports enthusiast who wishes to increase his or her spiritual commitment. Also, it can serve as a devotional guide for those interested in sports and physical activity. It can make an excellent gift book. Everything we do in life should center on serving God, even when playing a sport. We play a sport or game for fun, but we must play the game of life for God. If we ever stop serving God, all will be lost.

Habs Nation
The history of the Montreal Canadiens is not just a story about hockey. It's also the story of how hockey's most legendary team has always skated hand-in-hand with its home province of Quebec. Brendan Kelly takes a fresh look at the ups and downs of the Habs since the heyday of the "Flying Frenchmen" in the '50s, '60s and '70s and shows how the history of the team mirrors the tumultuous changes in Quebec over the past decades. Kelly talks to former Canadiens greats like Serge Savard and Bob Gainey, journalists, politicians, filmmakers and even to Lord of the Rings star Viggo Mortensen, maybe the Canadiens' most famous fan-- and they tell the tale of a team and its unique bond with its local fans. One surprising conclusion is that when the team's roster was at its most Qu矇 b矇 cois, the team had its greatest success on the ice. Since Montreal's last Quebec superstar, Patrick Roy, was unceremoniously booted out of town, the franchise has failed to win a Stanley Cup and has rarely been amongst the NHL's elite squads.

Hiking the at in the Virginias
In October 1921 the famous planner and conservationist Benton MacKaye formally proposed the establishment of the Appalachian Trail (the AT) from northern Georgia to Maine. The trail and its 2,198.4 miles was finally opened in 1937. Today, it is one of the most visited and cherished greenways and hiking paths in North America. In Hiking the AT in the Virginias, Dave Pruett shares his incredible journey of hiking all 559 miles of the AT in Virginia and West Virginia, beginning with retirement at sixty-five and completing it as a septuagenarian at age 75. Perhaps no stretch of the AT provides such awe, diversity, and wonder as the AT in Virginia and West Virginia, which, prior to 1862, were one state. Pruett's informative and beautifully illustrated book conveys what it is like to experience the AT's many characteristics--its vistas, bridges, flora, meadows, shelters, weather, water sources, wildlife, and magic--in an unforgettable journey. For those who seek a sense of what it is like to walk and hike the AT in the Virginias, Pruett's book is perhaps the best guide available. Written for the general reader and for the millions who visit not only the AT but the Skyline Drive, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Shenandoah and Great Smokey Mountains National Parks, Pruett's book is an indispensable and memorable guide.

Out Of The Blue
'When you are Rajasthan, last in the plate division, never having won the title, never even coming close to a final in over three decades, you don' t play to win the honour, you play to save what you can of yours. ' Ending up at the very bottom of the Ranji Trophy 's lower division shook Rajasthan up. The team staked all it had on the season of 2010-11; it became the player's one shot at redemption. This is the inspiring true story of the player's motivation, their passion for cricket, and of a cricket association that changed the rules of how domestic cricketers are groomed in India. Together, they resurrected the Rajasthan team - against all odds. This is the scintillating story of Rajasthan's first Ranji Trophy win, written by the team's highly successful opening batsman himself. If Aakash Chopra's first book laid bare the administrative apathy and corruption that domestic cricket is mired in, this one is a closeup of what it could be.
