A man healed of HIV. Another man healed of cancer. Demons being cast out. Words of knowledge, words of wisdom, miraculous protection: what do you do with all this when you grow up in a mainline Christian tradition that rarely speaks of such things? Then, on top of that, what do you do when you are ordained as a minister in that same denomination? Pastor Clark's ministry has been far from a traditional one. It has truly been a non-stop learning experience for him, his family, and his congregations. At times, it has been like "e;drinking through a fire hose."e; There have been questions and there have been disappointments for sure. But the Biblical truths that God is still healing, still speaking, still freeing, still doing miracles, etc, has brought this pastor from the edge of burnout and depression to a life of excitement and daily anticipation at what supernatural thing God is going to do next! Maybe you can relate to burnout and depression. Could God really be far more "e;knowable"e; and available than you ever thought? Could Jesus' death and resurrection really have brought God close so He could meet the needs you have? Could He really have a supernatural plan for your life right here and now, before you get to Heaven? The answer to all these questions, as Pastor Clark has found out over the past 25 years, is a spectacular and resounding "e;YES"e;!

The long-standing rivalry between the Kentucky Wildcats and the Louisville Cardinals is one of the most heated in college basketball. Facing off against each other on the court for over a century, the intrastate rivalry became red-hot over thirty years ago when the two faced each other in 1983 NCAA tournament, and Louisville narrowly edged out the Wildcats to advance to the Elite Eight. The heat hasn’t died down since ’83; in fact, the animosity between the two has only gotten stronger, with numerous face-offs—both on and off the court. In Fightin’ Words, Joe Cox and Ryan Clark expertly narrate the blow-by-blows of all the most important moments in the history of the Kentucky-Louisville rivalry.Fightin’ Words, first published in 2014 and now newly updated in paperback, covers the hundred-plus year span of the feud. From the twelve games played prior to the fated 1983 meeting, to the Wildcat-Cardinal meet-up in the Final Four round of 2014 NCAA tournament, and every game in between through the 2014-15 season, all the games covered include insightful pregame evaluation, commentary on the games’ most important plays, and expert postgame analysis, along with interviews from key players. From off the court, read how Louisville coach Denny Crum craftily out-recruited Kentucky coach Joe Hall or the athletes in inner-city Louisville; discover a blow-by-blow of Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino’s move from the Wildcats to the Cardinals; and learn how John Calipari transformed a losing Kentucky team into NCAA Champions. With individual chapters chronicling every meet-up, Fightin’ Words is a must-have for every true fan of college basketball.Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports—books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team.Whether you are a New York Yankees fan or hail from Red Sox nation; whether you are a die-hard Green Bay Packers or Dallas Cowboys fan; whether you root for the Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, UCLA Bruins, or Kansas Jayhawks; whether you route for the Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, or Los Angeles Kings; we have a book for you.
