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

John Perritt is exceptionally empathetic yet unflinchingly honest and uncompromisingly biblical. I believe this book will spur many teens and their families to find more joy in sports as they find ultimate satisfaction in the Creator of sports.

Jaquelle Crowe, Author of ‘This Changes Everything: How the Gospel Transforms the Teen Years’

Here we learn afresh that sport is God‘s good idea, and meant to be stewarded for his glory and our joy. Let us not “forge a new god” to quote the author, by uncritically adopting the idol worship of contemporary sports culture. John’s work will cause you to think, and may it be hoped, to change!

This is a clear, concise and compassionate book that insightfully probes to the heart of an important issue in our day – a Christian attitude to sports. Sport is good but it is not God. Writing with sound biblical theology, vibrant illustrations, memorable quotes and helpful practical application, John Perritt has made a significant contribution to this topic. It’s a must read!

Gavin Peacock, Former professional footballer and Director of International Outreach, The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood.

If Jesus Christ is truly the Lord of all of life, then it’s necessary for us to follow Him into the sphere of sport … playing, parenting, and spectating to His glory. John Perritt offers thoughtful Gospel–grounded guidance for how to engage with God’s good gift of play.

Walt Mueller, President, Center for Parent/Youth Understanding
