J.J. Watt is one of the most remarkable players to ever play in the NFL. He makes big plays in almost every game for the Houston Texans, winning new fans as he goes. He is rewriting the record books for many defensive statistics, but he has shown he can be deadly on offense as well, catching several touchdown passes in 2014. He is a generous and friendly giant off the field, donating money through his J.J. Watt Foundation to many middle schools in Wisconsin and Texas. And he is a bone-crushing monster on the field, striking fear in the hearts of his opponents. His motto is to "Dream Big, Work Hard" and he has done both. Watt inspires others to follow their own big dreams through hard work.

The Blue Banner is a case study of the survival of historic denominationalism grounded in resistance to church union. It traces the origins and near demise of Presbyterianism in Nova Scotia and the development of Saint David's from its beginnings as a new congregation and the only site of Presbyterian witness in metropolitan Halifax. The authors look at various aspects of congregational life - corporate structure and governance, education, worship and music, volunteerism, mission and outreach, and stewardship of the historic site and building that has been home to Saint David's since the beginning.
