Book Synopsis The Christian Athlete by : Dwayne K. Smith

Download or read book The Christian Athlete written by Dwayne K. Smith. This book was released on 2009-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this day and age, competition, most visibly in sports, often brings out the worst in people. Many athletes and fans seem compelled to do things that cheat sports of their purpose-of God's purpose. This leads Christians to wonder how it is possible to bring honor to God in the world of sports today. Christian athletes in every sport have to ask: What is the true function of sports? Is it possible to hold fast to Christian values and be a competitive athlete? Is it acceptable to let Christian values slide during competition? Dwayne K. Smith answers these questions and more in his exceptional book, The Christian Athlete-Honoring God in Sports, a must read for every athlete, coach, fan, and parent with children in sports. A coach himself, Smith combines stories and humor with powerful insights on subjects that athletes and coaches deal with on a regular basis, such as handling failure, battling laziness, and glorifying God with our bodies. Take a time out to become The Christian Athlete you were meant to be-honoring God in the sports you love
