Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This pragmatically designed daily devotional, written for sports fans, consists of quotes from scripture, inspirational anecdotes describing the successes and failures of athletes or sports teams, and simple activities to reinforce the spiritual lessons to be learned. The anecdotes are drawn from Olympic history as well as professional, collegiate, and nonprofessional sports, featuring athletes such as Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, and Michelle Kwan. The recounting of an athletic performance?a major portion of each devotion?and particularly brief spiritual reflections make this a suitable book for reluctant readers and avid sports fans of all ages.

This review is from: Devotions from the World of Sports (Paperback)

Hey teens who are sports fanatics out there! I am a 17 year old who loves sports of all kinds, and more importanly, I love my Jesus with my whole heart. I have grown so much closer to Him by reading Devotions From the World of Sports. John and Kathy are incredible writers which God has given the gift of writing to them. They make it so clear in this book how to live for God. Plus, you get to know some sports history on the side. I've had the pleasure of talking to John online, and he is an example to us all! Pick up his and his wife's book today, and I can gurrantee you will walk closer with your Savior! It is the highlight of my day. God bless you all out there. I love you all as a sister in our Lord God Almighty!
