A healthy lifestyle is a popular way to deal with aging, but the serious fun and games don't have to end once middle age sets in. This guidebook is aimed at men and women over 40 (or 50, or 60, or 70) who seek the challenge of athletic competition. The book focuses on those sports requiring significant physical exertion and includes team sports such as soccer, softball and basketball and individual sports such as skiing, tennis and swimming. Chapters on each sport identify the national sponsoring organization and regional affiliates, describe the types of competition available, and give a breakdown of the competitors by age and gender. A "How to Get Started" section describes basic skills needed for each sport, equipment required to compete, opportunities for coaching, and suggested books and videos for beginners. The book also features a list of the 2007 or 2008 national champions in each sport.

From His astonishing claims to His spirit of self-sacrifice; from His proclamation of God's lavish generosity to His call to radical discipleship, Jesus is an extraordinary figure who still captivates the attention of a high powered, high-tech and highly skeptical world. Whether the story of Jesus is familiar or new, author Thomas Jones sweeps the reader along from the humble ebb of His birth to the surging crescendo of His resurrection.

The good news of God's grace is at the center of the Christian message and any efort to restore God's work in the world must begin with the greatest emphasis on this grace. Individuals and the church must take seriously Paul's charge to "be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus" ( 2 Timothy 2:1), or we will not be strong at all. Grace must truly become the core of faith and the deepest conviction from which all else fails.
