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.

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.

Kristen Hatton, Author of ‘Exodus: The Gospel–Centered Life for Students’, ‘Face Time: Your Identity in a Selfie World’ & ‘Get Your Story Straight’

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.

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.

… a biblically balanced and theologically informed view of how involvement in sports can affect our families. He brings the perspective of an experienced youth pastor who has seen both the benefits and the pitfalls of athletics as he seeks to help young people and their parents set wise priorities.
