Bøker av Joseph Henderson

In this historically engaging memoir, Dr. Joseph Henderson shares the experiences of his humble beginnings in the 1930s as a Black man born in a Jim Crow south, through his deployment in the Korean war and a multi-decade long position as a Track & Field coach, to the unexpected detour of his academic career due to allegations that were leveled against him in the late 1990s. Meant only to smear his name and destroy his reputation, thankfully, these actions would not be the conclusion of the matter, as Dr. Henderson continued to stand with grace, leaning on his mother's wisdom and his faith in God... confident that his innocence would come to light and that "all things would work together for good." "Coaching with Faith: Guilty until Proven Innocent" is a story of hope, and as you learn his side - the truth - you will witness how one man navigated the reality that when the weapon of power was formed against him . . . it did not prosper (Isaiah 54:17).

When spiritual mirrors tell the truth, we sometimes take a look and, despite reality, walk away satisfied, boldly convincing ourselves that what we saw was a reflection of pure perfection. To appease our spiritual conscience, we then find ourselves as a people who would rather look into a spiritual mirror, simply concluding the reflection to be an acceptable image meeting, never superseding, either our own standards or the demands of this world around us. Eventually, we uncomfortably just become "all right" with our spiritual mirror reflection, convincing ourselves that true change is impossible. We fail to realize that Satan desires for us to become so familiar with the reflection of wickedness daily seen in that spiritual mirror that we never surrender wholeheartedly to God. We must grow to a place where we are ready to allow the Lord to make us all over again...into a godly image...into a reflection of His righteousness. The poetic words in this book will take all readers on a spiritual journey of self-discovery, looking into a spiritual mirror, embracing reality, and arriving at a place of total surrender to a spiritual transformation. As we become completely honest with the reality that we see, we then posture ourselves for a change, a makeover that can only come from God. Let us look into this spiritual mirror together. May God open our eyes that we may see.
