A Ragamuffin Saint: The Messy Journey of Dusty Disciple takes an in-depth look at what it means to walk with God. When we find the courage to look at our lives from God's point of view, we start to see ourselves as His beloved. A Ragamuffin Saint: The Messy Journey of a Dusty Disciple is an experience in discovering the richness of God's mercy and grace. Picking up where others have left off, Pastor Jeremy continues to carry a message of hope to those who've felt rejected by religion. If you've struggled with addiction, or have just felt chewed up and spit out by life, you're going to rediscover Jesus in your journey. You are much more than a sinner saved by grace; you're a child of God. If shame and guilt have distorted your perception of God, you'll find renewed clarity. You are not alone; you're the beloved of God. Often compared to Fr. Henri Nouwen, Pastor Jeremy Evans is a humble man of faith, who has recovered from a variety of addictions that nearly destroyed his life. He has served as a Chaplain in a drug and alcohol treatment for many years. His experience in lecturing on the 12 Steps, facilitating grief groups, and counseling those who've struggled with addiction has had a significant impact on the lives of many people. A gentle soul, with a deeply intuitive understanding of addiction, he has helped many people find recovery, enabled them to clear up their thinking about God and find renewed faith in Jesus Christ.

"The Sailing Bible is a comprehensive handbook for all sailors, whatever their experience."--

An inspiring true-life survival story set in the remote backcountry of the Canadian Rockies.In August 2017, 32-year-old Jeremy Evans endured multiple ferocious attacks by a protective female grizzly bear while hunting in the Alberta wilderness.Jeremy¿s injuries were massive, his scalp and face destroyed, an eye and his jaw dangling down. The tendons on one leg had been fully severed during the mauling. His hands were damaged where he had physically fought the bear. It was more than a dozen kilometres to where he had parked his truck in darkness early that morning and absolutely no one was near. Thoughts of his wife and their eight-month-old daughter consumed Jeremy as he stumbled and crawled for hours back to his truck, before driving himself several kilometres to a backcountry lodge for help. All the while, Jeremy thought of his young family and the upcoming sixth wedding anniversary that he feared he might never be able to celebrate.Mauled carefully details what happened deep in an Alberta forest where few modern humans tread. Jeremy¿s miraculous recovery and life lessons learned when so close to death show that human determination can defy the greatest of odds, and that setting small goals along the road to recovery can lead to remarkable achievements. Despite the traumatic stress the encounter produced, Jeremy holds no animosity toward the bear and still enjoys spending time in the backcountry. To him the grizzly was doing what the best parents do: protect their young.
