Let us fix our eyes on Jesus. Are you tempted to dwell on feelings of guilt and expressions of self-denial during the season of Lent? Triumph at the Cross reminds Christians, by way of the gospel, that Lent is instead a time of joyous renewal. Triumph at the Cross provides 47 devotions–one for each day from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday–to lead you on a journey of cleansing and repentance. Author Harold Senkbeil directs you to the reassurance of Scripture, showing you that Jesus is here among us and that his gifts remain forever sure!
Each Devotion includes a Bible verse, reading, prayer and craft idea.
Tony Dungy’s words and example have intrigued millions of people, particularly following his victory in Super Bowl XLI, the first for an African American coach. How is it possible for a coach—especially a football coach—to win the respect of his players and lead them to the Super Bowl without the screaming histrionics, the profanities, and the demand that the sport come before anything else? How is it possible for anyone to be successful without compromising faith and family? In this inspiring and reflective memoir, now updated with a new chapter, Coach Dungy tells the story of a life lived for God and family—and challenges us all to redefine our ideas of what it means to succeed.
