Elliot Johnson (Author)

Book Description

Series: Devotions for Athletes | Publication Date: September 2000

Subtitle: Devotions for Athletes

Major League baseball teams have a special place for those who are injured and unable to play. It's called the "disabled list.” An injured player can go on this list temporarily while he recovers from injury and remain on the roster. The Apostle Paul spent several months, even years, on the "disabled list." He was imprisoned by the Romans! Yet, he remained on the Christian team and he continued to be a productive player for God! His letters were sent to believers throughout the empire. Today, we still benefit from these Divinely-inspired lessons. Coach Elliot Johnson has used sports stories and their relationship to the Bible to help thousands of coaches, athletes and fans to understand the scriptures in more than twenty Christian sports devotionals. This book will help you to apply lessons from the letters of Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.
