Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The wide world of sports, as it's often called, has quite obviously become a cultural phenomenon. In the United States alone, sports generate more than 400 billion dollars annually. However, for its many athlete-participants, coaches, fans, and investors, it provides much more than simple monetary value. While some critics see modern sport (especially those known for their rather intense physical contact) as somewhat brutish or even, uncivilized, sport itself, when played with proper intentions, provides unlimited opportunities for positive human growth, including even that of a spiritual nature. Known perhaps as the greatest of Christian missionaries, St. Paul, who also gained the title, the athlete of Christ, for his frequent use of athletically-themed metaphors throughout the New Testament, encouraged the faithful to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17 NAB). While his exhortation may seem challenging, participation in sports provide a refreshing opportunity to embrace such a deep spirituality, rather than providing an impediment to it. In the first year of his Pontificate, Pope Francis acknowledged both the importance of sport as a worldwide cultural phenomenon, while also recognizing within it the inherent and numerous opportunities for growth in the Christian spiritual life. He said, I ask that you 'live your sport' as a gift from God, an opportunity not only to bring your talents to fruition, but also as a responsibility to God and all of the human family. Within Sport & the Spiritual Life: The Integration of Playing and Praying, we are challenged to view sport not simply as yet another worldly distraction, amusement, or task on an already hectic schedule, but rather to view it as an opportunity to discover God in the here and now; to communicate with Him in every play; every movement; every moment. To ultimately recognize that sport is a school of virtue wherein we learn that God transforms even our most profane activities into sacred ones wherein He may be glorified and we may have the honor of praising He who is most deserving.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Theologians often credit Saint Augustine and his popular spiritual autobiography, The Confessions, with both the emergence and understanding of a sort of vocational awareness and discernment form known simply as 'situations in life'. The idea is that in the absence of any clear direction of where we are going or where we would like to go - philosophically speaking in terms of one's life path and progress, that is - it is our own 'situations in life' which often help us determine the path of progress, spiritual or otherwise. The faithful often believe that nothing happens by coincidence; that there is, instead, One who guides and directs us along our way in this life towards eternal union with Him in the next. Clearly, this is the One that the faithful call God. God's own Divine Providence and 'calling' stands ever 'at the helm' of the boat that is our human lives. This book, itself a collection of thoughtful musings on Christian spirituality, explores not simply the ideas of 'calling' and Divine Providence as it concerns one's life direction or purpose, but instead posits that the knowledge of God and the desire to seek after Him is at the core of our identity. Like a tattoo on the skin or an engraving on the stone, the desire to seek God is indelibly inscribed upon our hearts.
