But starring on Sunday afternoons follows years of developing Christian faith on Sunday mornings. Playing with Purpose will introduce you to three young men of both physical and spiritual strength, athletes at the top of their game who also speak publicly and convincingly of their belief in God.

This review is from: Playing with Purpose: Inside the Lives and Faith of the NFL's Top New Quarterbacks -- Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, and Tim Tebow (Hardcover)
This is a refreshing look at the life of three young men, who have their priorities in order. In a world full of darkness they provide a light at the end of the tunnel, their love of God and the Christian way of life is not overshadowed by the fame and celebrity status they have obtained. This is a fill good book that gives parents a role model for their children and hope for the future.
