Pouhých 9,58 sekund – přesně tolik času zabrala Usainu Boltovi zářivá cesta na sportovní vrchol. Jeho světový rekord v běhu na sto metrů šokoval celý svět. Když byl ale Usain St. Leo Bolt malým chlapcem, víc než běhání, které ho vůbec nebavilo, se věnoval jiným sportům. Nebýt Boltova trenéra kriketu, možná by zůstal jeho talent bez povšimnutí. Nikdo, nejspíš ani Usain sám, tehdy ještě netušil, že tenhle vysoký, hubený kluk z malého městečka v oblasti Montego Bay na severním pobřeží Jamajky se jednoho dne stane nejrychlejším mužem planety.
In this assured debut collection, John Murray expertly blends fact with fiction, drawing inspiration from science, medicine, and nature. Set in captivating locations worldwide—such as a cholera tent in Bombay, a UN refugee camp in Africa, and a Key West hideaway—the stories feature characters like doctors, nurses, research scientists, and explorers, often engaged with texts like *The Manual of Clinical Microbiology* or *Gray's Anatomy*. However, these narratives delve deeper into the internal landscapes of emotions—love, loss, obsession, and conflict—exploring family dynamics and survival. The stories illuminate moments of self-discovery and understanding. In "The Hill Station," an American-born scientist reconnects with her parents' homeland, breaking free from her structured life. The title story follows an aging surgeon who uses his grandfather's butterfly collection to reflect on his past. "Blue" depicts a young man haunted by his father's tragic death as he climbs a Himalayan mountain, while "Acts of Memory, Wisdom of Man" recounts a son of Indian immigrants reliving pivotal events from the summer of 1968 that shaped his brother's fate. These vivid tales portray characters navigating their pasts, cultural divides, and the interplay of intellect and emotion, marking a rich and original debut.

Originally published in 1955 and reprinted dozens of times over the years, John Murray's Redemption Accomplished and Applied systematically explains the two sides of redemption -- its accomplishment through Christ's atonement and its application to the lives of believers.

He then goes on to expound the biblical teaching about calling, regeneration, faith and repentance, justification, adoption, sanctification, perseverance, union with Christ, and glorification.
Volume 2 of hisCollected Writingsthus provides John Murray's own selection from his articles and lectures in systematic theology. In it will be found definitive treatments of subjects upon which, in the judgement of many, he advanced the frontiers of reformed theology and gave fresh elucidation of biblical truth. This is most evident in the chapters on Adamic Administration and Definitive Sanctification, but the seed-thoughts of further insight are also clearly evident in many other places.
