Sport and Spirituality

Sport science can quantify many aspects of human performance but the spiritual dimensions of sports experience cannot be fully understood through measurement. However, the spiritual experience of sport – be it described as ‘flow’, ‘transcendence’ or the discovery of meaning and value – is central both to our basic motivation to take part in sports, and to achieving success.  Sport and Spirituality: An Introduction explores these human aspects of sports experience through the perspectives of sport psychology, philosophy, ethics, theology and religious studies. It includes discussions of:   Spirituality in the postmodern era Spirituality, health and well-being Theistic and atheistic perspectives on sport and the spiritual Nature and transcendence – the mystical and sublime in outdoor sport Applied sport psychology and the existential Spiritual perspectives on pain, suffering and destiny Sport, the virtues, ethical development and the spirit of the game The Olympic Games and de Coubertin’s ideas of the ‘religio athletae’.  This groundbreaking text will be a valuable resource for students of sport and exercise studies, sports coaching, physical education and sport and health psychology. This book should be read by all those interested in the preparation, performance and well-being of athletes.

Lessons from My Dog: Faith-Lifters That Bless and Build Believers

You Can Prophesy

God's Healing Belongs 2 U has been written to help people receive Divine physical healing. It also has the goal of equipping other Christians to exercise the ministry of healing the sick.
In God's Healing Belongs 2 U, Nick Watson teaches that God wants sick people to become well. This is evidenced by the teachings of the Bible and in particular the healing ministry of Jesus in the Gospels. Secondly, it is attested to by the testimonies of Divine healing that are shared in this book and many more that are readily available through various Christian media. Thirdly, the very fact that God, our Creator and Heavenly Father, included the desire for healing in our psyche and put that desire into the very DNA of our physical bodies, is a convincing indicator of the fact that God wants people to be healthy and not sick.
The second key element of knowing that it is God's Will for sick people to be made well is that He sent His Only Son, Jesus to be punished for us and in our place, so that we could have both physical healing by His wounds and wholeness (or, shalom-peace) in every area of life. The key teaching in Isaiah 53:4-6 is that healing is included in the atonement and is therefore as freely available to those who believe as is spiritual salvation, by which we become born again. 
The book has a lot to say about faith, including not blaming people for having a lack of faith (or sin in their life) if they do not receive their healing right then, right there. Nick explains what faith is and how to grow it and use it both to receive your full healing and keep it.
Nick also shows how a person can remove blockages to healing, including doubts, unforgiveness and an unhealthy soul.
The final chapter gives consideration to medical help and some of the mysteries that people struggle with in regard to Divine healing.
