The Holy Spirit is the Hidden Mover Behind All Personal Life Transformation and Ministry Fruitfulness.
Since the original publication of Spirit Walk, author Steve Smith has gone home to meet the Lord face-to-face. However, before that glorious day, he penned an impassioned plea to believers in the last days of his life. That plea and piece of instruction is what comprises the new foreword in this special edition of Spirit Walk. Read and be both challenged and invited to a life lived in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Though we know the Bible says to walk in the Spirit, the majority of Christians are illiterate (and even nervous) about how to practically live in His power. The result is lives marred by continued brokenness and ministries plagued by fruitlessness. In contrast, believers from Acts understood the ancient path of the Spirit Walk. That extraordinary power was not just for them, but also for us.
Gleaning insights from implementation in dozens of Acts-like movements around the world, Spirit Walk lifts the hood and shows us the real secret behind apostolic, disciple multiplying movements (Neil Cole, author of Organic Church). Whether you need a movement of God in your personal life or in your ministry, this book takes you through the timeless principles of the Bible.
The Spirit Walk path has helped thousands of ordinary people shift from a fundamental reliance upon methods and self-helps to the essential reliance upon the Spirit who empowers both. Discover how to start on your lifelong journey of being filled again and again by the Holy Spirit as you abide in Christ.
On any given workday, any little thing might send Steve Smith's thoughts spinning back to Saturday--last Saturday, Saturday two weeks ago, Saturday two years ago, back into the thrilling minutiae of game day--until reality reminds him: this is not how well-adjusted adults act. Steve Smith is not a well-adjusted adult. He's a Nebraska football fan, and this is his rollicking account of what it's like to be one of those legendary enthusiasts whose passion for the Cornhuskers is at once irresistible and hilarious.
A journey into an obsessed Nebraska fan's soul, Forever Red immerses readers in the mad, mad world of Husker football fandom--where wearing the scarlet-and-cream Husker gear has its own peculiar rules; where displaced followers act as the program's ambassadors, finding Husker subculture beyond the pale; and where the team's performance can barely keep pace with its followers' expectations but sometimes exceeds their wildest dreams. Revised, updated, and expanded from the 2005 edition, Smith's story of thirty-plus years following the team takes readers back to memorable game moments from 1980 up through the roller-coaster ride of recent years. Blending wit and insight, Smith offers to the uninitiated and the fellow fanatic alike a window on the world where fantasy and football meet, where dreams of glory and gritty gridiron realities forever join. This edition features a new afterword bringing it up to the dawn of the Scott Frost era.This workbook was written to support students and teachers preparing for the GCSE French exams beginning in 2026 (first teaching September 2024).

We know how important frequent repetition is for students of all levels of proficiency. So each unit has been carefully planned to recycle the same words, chunks and sentences many times over to help students remember as much as possible when they do the exam. In addition, many high-frequency vocabulary and grammatical structures are encountered across all the units.
The content has been written to take account of the DfE's requirement that GCSE students become familiar with aspects of the contexts and cultures in which French is spoken. The comprehension texts were written by the authors, often drawing on authentic sources.
Thematic, vocabulary and grammar content has been matched against the new specifications and should be suitable for any of the three awarding bodies: AQA, Eduqas and Pearson-Edexcel

Henry Holroyd, the third Lord Sheffield, was a cricket enthusiast who played one first-class match but is remembered, not as a player, but as an extremely generous patron of the game.
Upon inheriting his title, and the estate of Sheffield Park in 1876, he spent an enormous amount of money to establish a private cricket ground reputed to be the prettiest ground in England, if not her Empire.
He welcomed the touring Australian's for the first time in 1884. So impressed were the Australians with his lavish hospitality that a visit to Sheffield Park to meet his Lordship's XI became a customary way to open an Ashes tour.
It wasn't just the Australians who were recipients of Lord Sheffield's hospitality. He opened his ground free of charge for any who wished to watch the games. On the final occasion, in 1896, 25,000 attended the first day's play, amongst the spectators was the Prince of Wales himself.
Read about this extraordinary man, his ground and some wonderful cricket from the golden age.
In 1899, Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji, or Ranji, was at the height of his power and talent. He had just finished the English first-class cricket season with a record run aggregate of 3159, beating his previous record of 2780 runs from 1896. However for him there was still one more task to accomplish before the year was out.
Two years previously Ranji took guard against a young swing bowler from Philadelphia, John Barton King. In Ranji's own words King's first delivery leapt at him like a tigerand he was bowled first ball. Sussex were bowled out in less than an hour for forty six, King taking 7-13. The 'Gentlemen of Philadelphia' won that match with King claiming another six wickets in the second innings.
Revenge is best served cold, they say, Ranji was ready for that moment. He had hand picked a powerful team of England's greatest batsmen, including eight players who had played, or would go on to play, test cricket for England. What followed was a brutal lesson, which ultimately served to strengthen the Philadelphians in the future, amid a storm of controversy that grew as the tour progressed.
Take yourself back to the turn of the twentieth century and relive the time when an Indian Prince played the King of Philadelphia.
