Shalom and Amen: The Life and Work of Hal Marchman, the Racers' Preacher
Автор:Lamont W. Ingalls Год: 2009 Издание: [не указанo] Страниц: 374 ISBN: 0982336500 Shalom and Amen is the life story of Reverend Hal Marchman (1919 - 2009), a Baptist minister who, for over 40 years, was widely known as the chaplain of NASCAR. His ministry included the Daytona International Speedway but extended far "beyond the oval." He was ahead of his time in his progressive church leadership and in his advocacy for "the community that lives on the streets." Hal Marchman established and nurtured church programs and community treatment centers for alcoholics and drug addicts. As a self-described "drunk in recovery" he "walked the talk" for nearly six decades. His ongoing healing legacy is represented in the Stewart-Marchman Treatment Centers in the Daytona Beach area. For over 35 years, the Stewart-Marchman programs and Hal's direct counsel have helped thousands of alcoholics and addicts to recover a "clean and sober" life. The life story of Hal Marchman, and of his co-minister and helpmate, Mary Mathis Marchman, is both inspiring and fully-human.
