Book Synopsis Jesus Nation by : Joe Stowell

Download or read book Jesus Nation written by Joe Stowell. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Joe Stowell is a Chicago Cubs fan—to the death! For Joe, there is nothing quite like showing up on a bright summer day at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field to cheer the Cubbies on. Cubs fans are so fanatic that they are now called the “Cubs Nation.” To belong to the Cubs Nation means that you belong to something bigger than yourself. What group are "you" passionate about? Do you have your own sports team you’re devoted to? Are you dedicated to a cause? To a set of friends? To a national identity? What cause have you sacrificed your all to and aren't ashamed about it? Is it to a career? To some change in your community? To the defense of an institution or your friends? According to Joe Stowell, there is a bigger revolution happening right under our noses. There is a cause greater than nation, creed, or even a sports team. In his trademark style, Joe Stowell wakes up readers to a revolution of the heart occurring now and transforming our nation—the Jesus Nation.

Book excerpt: Chicago in the Roaring Twenties was a city of immigrants, mobsters, and flappers with one shared passion: the Chicago Cubs. It all began when the chewing-gum tycoon William Wrigley decided to build the world’s greatest ball club in the nation’s Second City. In this Jazz Age center, the maverick Wrigley exploited the revolutionary technology of broadcasting to attract eager throngs of women to his renovated ballpark. Mr. Wrigley’s Ball Club transports us to this heady era of baseball history and introduces the team at its crazy heart—an amalgam of rakes, pranksters, schemers, and choirboys who take center stage in memorable successes, equally memorable disasters, and shadowy intrigue. Readers take front-row seats to meet Grover Cleveland Alexander, Rogers Hornsby, Joe McCarthy, Lewis “Hack” Wilson, Gabby Hartnett. The cast of characters also includes their colorful if less-extolled teammates and the Cubs’ nemesis, Babe Ruth, who terminates the ambitions of Mr. Wrigley’s ball club with one emphatic swing.

Book Synopsis The Chicago Cubs by : Warren Brown

Download or read book The Chicago Cubs written by Warren Brown. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -- First published in 1946, Warren Brown's history of the Cubs is one of the fifteen highly regarded team histories commissioned by G. P. Putnam's Sons in the 1940s and 1950s, most of which were written by Hall of Fame sportswriters. Brown's history begins with the founding of the National League -- with the Cubs as a charter member -- in 1876 and continues through the 1945 World Series, which the Cubs lost to the Detroit Tigers. Brown, of course, covers the Hall of Fame Cub infield of (Joe) Tinker to (Johnny) Evers to (Frank) Chance, the most memorable double-play combination in the history of baseball. Other legendary Cubs and their illustrious opponents include Grover Cleveland Alexander, Adrian C. (Cap) Anson, Phil Cavarretta, Ty Cobb, Mickey Cochrane, Rip Collins, Kiki Cuyler, Dizzy Dean, Joe DiMaggio, Jimmie Foxx, Lou Gehrig, Hank Greenberg, Charlie Grimm, Lefty Grove, Stan Hack, Gabby Hartnett, Rogers Hornsby, Pepper Martin, Babe Ruth, Tris Speaker, Pie Traynor, and Hack Wilson. In his final chapter, Brown discusses and compiles what he calls the "All-Time Chicago National League Baseball Squad", with two to five players listed for each position (more for pitchers). Brown also includes Cubs "statistical addenda", such as home run leaders, leading pitchers, World Series records, and the Cubs versus White Sox "city series" records. The book is illustrated with twenty-two photographs.
