Millions of us love sport: playing, supporting watching. But have you ever thought about how your love for sport connects with your love for Jesus?
Some of us feel a bit guilty for loving sport so much, especially when there are so many other ways in which we could be using our time to serve God. Others see it simply as a great way to share the gospel (while having fun). And many of us have never really thought about it at all!
This book will show you what the Bible says. You’ll discover a more liberating approach than feeling a bit guilty, a deeper approach than seeing sport as ...only an evangelistic opportunity, and a better approach than not linking your faith and your love of sport at all.
Starting with asking why God created sport in the first place, Spiritual Game Plan explores how the gospel impacts and transforms the way we think and play. You'll discover how to enjoy your sport even more as you let God shape your perspective; and see how he can use your sport to grow and shape you as his follower.
Includes lots of stories from sportspeople from elite to everyday, as well as chapters for specific areas of sporting life, such as sport on Sundays. In addition to teaching for players, there is advice for parents, coaches and fans.
A great gift for Christians who love sport as well as a useful resource for sports ministries, including summer camps and Christian teams.
