Description

Sport is one of the many evidences of a gracious God. It can unite people, sharing together in the enjoyment it brings. But it brings the challenge of proper stewardship under God, especially when working with young people. Are they being encouraged to use their gifts and time to God’s glory? Are you ensuring that they are living by God’s Word, rather than prioritising their sport? There is a lot to learn about how God wants us to live through sports – both on and off the field.

Endorsements

Some athletes, even Christian ones, fall into the trap of glorifying themselves rather than God, and thanking Him for wins but not losses. John Perritt’s well–written look at stewardship in sports gets it right: Time Out! can show parents, coaches, and athletes how to use sports to win victories in life.

One of the questions I receive most often from parents is, ‘How much is too much for my children to be involved in sports?’ This book doesn’t offer easy solutions, but it does provide the wisdom that parents need to drive them to God’s Word as they decide how sports can be used for God’s glory in their children’s lives.

Endorsements

With clarity and clear theological insight, John unpacks and provides a balanced response to key issues. Importantly, the author also recognises the importance of celebrating sport as a gift and as a source of physical, emotional and spiritual well–being. This book will make you think more critically about ‘youth sports’, while still celebrating them as a God–given gift.”

Nick J. Watson, Associate Professor of Sport and Social Justice, York St John University, York, UK

Never have I read such a well–grounded, gospel–centered critique of youth sports culture as it exists today. While a difficult reality to face, I hope this book will spur us on to change for the betterment of our kids’s souls, and to his glory.
