Newport native Don Owen’s “Inaudible Majesty” now on sale at amazon.com


PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — How did the sinful journey begin for a reluctant villain named Don Owen? What made the long trek through a dark wilderness so brutally rugged? Who was the beacon of hope when everything seemed murky on the trail ahead?

What caused a spiritually deaf sinner to begin listening to the inaudible majesty of God?

These questions are answered in Owen's memoirs, Inaudible Majesty. The book is on now on sale at amazon.com.

Owen, a native of Northern Kentucky and a born-again Christian, spent four decades as a writer, media relations director and editor. He traveled all over the country. He met people from every part of the world. And Owen constantly searched for inner peace.

"The more I told myself I'd succeeded at something, the more I realized I was a complete failure," said Owen, a 1980 graduate of Newport High School. "Professionally and personally, I was never really happy. Even as a kid growing up in Newport.

"Only when I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior did I begin to figure it out. But it took many years and a lot of heartaches."

Inaudible Majesty chronicles the journey of this reluctant villain, a flawed and fragile mortal whose many sinful mistakes eventually guided him to the Lord Jesus Christ when all else failed.

Owen's journey actually began in the summer of 1974, when he disclosed a dark secret to a total stranger on a near-deserted baseball field in Newport, Ky. This dark secret had haunted the 12-year-old Owen for two months.

An hour or so later, meeting this total stranger would become a defining moment in the life of a struggling pre-teen named Don Owen.

Owen’s career as the sports information director at Northern Kentucky University is a major focus of these memoirs. His struggles as an adolescent and painful trek into young adulthood are also chronicled. Many of the chapters and anecdotes will make you laugh. Others are likely to bring you to tears.

Inaudible Majesty documents how following the path of Jesus Christ allows a terrible sinner to escape the dark wilderness of an evil, fallen world. And Owen’s memoirs reveal the glorious rewards of eternal peace that beckon those saved through knowing Jesus Christ as their personal savior.

From near extinction to total redemption, NKU cross country reflects Kruse’s perseverance

The NKU cross country team qualified for the 1979 NCAA Division II nationals. ------------------------------------------------------ Steve Kruse isn’t just a head coach at Northern Kentucky University. No, he’s more of a reluctant landmark on the Highland Heights campus, a statue of adaptive perseverance and impassioned longevity. A nearly six-decade association with the NKU cross country program — both as a runner and head coach — has made Kruse a modern connection to the infancy of the athletics program. It wouldn’t be accurate to say he’s a walking history book, simply because Kruse’s best known in the area of running. And, in 26 years as cross country head coach, he’s built a program that’s successful both academically and athletically. The affable Kruse is also inconspicuously linked to Hollywood giants Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman from an NKU perspective. Ever hear of the Academy Award-winning movie “Rain Man” and a place called St. Anne Convent? Steve Kruse Having been around N...

What’s this? Trying to rebuild the old NKU Athletics Website for years 1999-2009

Image
Note: From 1999-2009, the office of sports information designed and operated the NKU Athletics website. On Aug. 12, 2009, NKU launched a new website designed by Internet Consulting Services, a content-management platform provider that later became SIDEARM Sports. The original NKU Athletics website, however, was not maintained after 2014 and many links and images on the NKU server are missing. This is an attempt at placing many of the stories online with archived screenshots. Below are the first-ever recaps from the old NKU Athletics website from Sept. 18, 1999. Click on the images below to clearly view the original recaps in an html file. These recaps directly below are from the second day of the old NKU Athletics website, Sept. 19, 1999.
