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’

It is with great heart and sincerity that John Perritt offers this challenge to the idolatry of youth sports.  Wisely navigating both the glory and the depravity of our current cultural moment, he invites us to consider more thoughtful and intentional discipleship relating to their participation.

With wit, wisdom, and exegesis, Perritt presents a deeper, more theologically–sound understanding of the world of athletics. He lifts the reader’s gaze to the impact of the gospel and themes of eternity. If you’re involved or you have children involved in youth sports, this will be a helpful guide to thinking more biblically about it.

Brian H. Cosby, Pastor, Wayside Presbyterian Church, Signal Mountain, Tennessee

Perspective, we are often told, is everything. In this helpful book John Perritt helps Christians, and especially Christian parents, to put sports into perspective—a Christian perspective. This book is a very helpful contribution to a conversation Christians must eagerly engage
