Since the 1990s, an increasing number of young men in Cameroon have aspired to play football as a career and a strategy to migrate abroad. Migration through the sport promises fulfillment of masculine dreams of sports stardom, as well as opportunities to earn a living that have been hollowed out by the country's long economic stalemate. The aspiring footballers are increasingly turning to Pentecostal Christianity, which allows them to challenge common tropes of young men as stubborn and promiscuous, while also offering a moral and bodily regime that promises success despite the odds. Yet the transnational sports market is tough and unpredictable: it demands disciplined young bodies and introduces new forms of uncertainty. This book unpacks young Cameroonians' football dreams, Pentecostal faith, obligations to provide, and desires to migrate to highlight the precarity of masculinity in structurally adjusted Africa and neoliberal capitalism.

This book aims to introduce a distinctively evangelical voice to the discipline of practical theology. Evangelicals have sometimes seen practical theology as primarily a 'liberal' project. This collection, however, actively engages with practical theology from an evangelical perspective, both through discussion of the substantive issues and by providing examples of practical theology done by evangelicals in the classroom, the church, and beyond. This volume brings together established and emerging voices to debate the growing role which practical theology is playing in evangelical and Pentecostal circles. Chapters begin by addressing methodological concerns, before moving into areas of practice. Additionally, there are four short papers from students who make use of practical theology to re¿ect upon their own practice. Issues of authority and normativity are tackled head on in a way that will inform the debate both within and beyond evangelicalism. This book will, therefore, be of keen interest to scholars of practical, evangelical, and Pentecostal theology.

The Secret Place will guide you in developing an intimate relationship with your Heavenly Father. It is a personal story of the author's journey into intimacy with God and contains many visions and revelations he received from his Heavenly Father in developing his secret place. All people have a secret place with their Heavenly Father. This book will help you know your secret place with God.¿¿The Secret Place by Bill Dupley calls to mind the rich devotional lives of influential believers through the ages-Thomas Kelly, Theresa of Avila, Catherine of Genoa. Bill's "secret place" is clearly the secret to his remarkable life and ministry. Descriptions of his personal intimacy with Father God will catch some by surprise; it will foster a fresh hunger in many, as it did in me, for a renewal of my own secret place. Few twenty-first century believers demonstrate the supernatural in such a "natural" humble way in their everyday lives as Bill does. His life is clearly a "trailer" for the kingdom."Fred Fulford, Pastoral Theology Director, Summit Pacific College, Abbotsford, BC

Why, for decades, have there been prophecies of a great tidal-wave of CHANGE coming to the church? And why do these words and visions show that this era of change will be accompanied by enormous SHAKING worldwide? Was the Asbury Revival of 2023 a sign of something bigger? Why is there evidence of a mass "changing of the guard" at the highest levels of Christianity in the years 2018 to 2022? And is it true that the 2020s have been prophesied as the decade when this Reformation and Shaking will fully come to fruition?In the first place, why do we actually need such a great Reformation and revolution in Christianity today? And what is God going to do to clean out His church and bring her back to the purity and power of the book of Acts? All these questions and more are answered in this provocative book.

THE SUBJECT OF SONSHIP that Apostle Greg Hood has chosen for this book, Sonship of the Kingdom, is vital for our times. Its biblical understanding is indeed life-changing. Sadly, because of nominal religion's portrayal of Father God, much of our world has the wrong perspective of who God really is.Sonship According to the Kingdom is the enlightenment we need to further our understanding, indeed, our relationship, with Father God. So many live in fear of our great God, not realizing his loving, tender, and gracious nature toward his children. He is not out to get us if we mess up. Let's face it: if he was the vengeful, unforgiving God as portrayed by religion, we'd all be dead by now. Fortunately, his desire is to lovingly mentor us, shaping our lives into plans and purposes that bring out the best in us-the best as we were created to be.

There was a man in the Bible who was so obsessed with what he thought God wanted him to do that God had to use a donkey to speak to him and warn him so that an angel would not have killed him. The strange thing was, though, when the donkey was speaking to him, instead of him being amazed at the fact the donkey was speaking, he started arguing with, even threatening to kill the donkey.In this book, James brings out the many different ways God has used in his life and ministry to speak to us and get us in the right direction. It's not hard to hear God's voice. We just need to learn to listen. Be careful, that donkey you keep hearing just may be the Lord's way of getting your attention.
