“Winsome and timely”
Spiritual Game Plan by Graham Daniels and Jonny Reid (The Good Book Company)
The Bible has a lot to say about our sporting lives – how sport fits into our daily rhythms and is part of the goodness of God’s creation. Danno (Graham) and Jonny, both with a long involvement with Christians in Sport, share in a winsome way from their own lives but also from those of other sports’ people, both the famous and the ordinary. This short book (154 pages) is full of practical and down to earth teaching – and not only for those who compete. There are chapters devoted to fans, to parents and to coaches and the authors don’t shy away from the contentious issue (for many Christians) of playing sport on Sundays. Most of all, here is a book which considers how our faith can be shaped and nurtured by sport and how, in the words of the book’s sub-title, we can ‘compete with Joy and Godliness’.
