We are all located in different places. And the way we grow as disciples and lead others in spiritual growth depends on our contexts. Pastor José Humphreys recognizes how deeply our faith is tied to our particular stories in our particular places. Grounded in his own deep faith and wisdom, he writes out of his experiences as a Puerto Rican pastor who has planted a multiethnic church in East Harlem. In this book, he offers a framework to help church leaders take discipleship seriously in their places, calling them to show up, stay put, and see what God is doing in their midst. Combining spiritual formation with activism, vivid narrative with exhortation, and realism with hopefulness, Humphreys offers pastors and church planters a thoughtful look at discipleship in a complex world.

Have you ever wanted to Fly? Not in a plane, but soar up high and over come the fear of falling? Then my adventure at iFly may inspire and show you how to make the impossible possible! At 11 years old, I went to iFly Summer Camp where I learned the mechanics of flying. iFly Indoor Skydiving is an all-inclusive sport, which means anyone can fly. I determined to attempt a World Record, one that harnessed the “Spirit of Adventure”, inspired others to try new things, gives strength to those being bullied, and encouragement to those who are giving up on life. I wanted to inspire the attendees and people worldwide by showing anything is possible and that you are only limited by your imagination. On November 14, 2019, I successfully did a book signing while flying in a wind tunnel at 110 mph. I signed a total of 48 copies in 4 minutes of the book BE AMAZING.

The physical phenomena of the earths atmosphere are exceedingly numerous and of great importance. Nevertheless, the explanations, even of those well understood, still remain scattered through many books and numerous journals. Perhaps this is because some of the phenomena have never been explained, and others but imperfectly so, but, however that may be, it is obvious that an orderly assemblage of all those facts and theories that together might be called the Physics of the A ir would be exceedingly helpful to the student of atmospherics. An attempt to serve this useful purpose, begun in a course of lectures at theS anD iego Aviation School (R ockwell Field) in 1914, led to the production of the following chapters revised and reprinted from the Journal ofT he Franklin I nstitute, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1920.
