  Away Game : A Christian Parent’s Guide To Navigating Youth Sports

  $18.99

  Transform the competitive sports field into a discipleship opportunity as you help your young athlete become not just a better player but a devoted follower of God.

  If we don’t own the process of discipling our kids as they play sports, sports culture will do it for us. But as parents, we can get so consumed with our young athletes’ physical development that we miss the opportunities athletics provide to help them grow spiritually. Away Game challenges us to be more than spectators on the sidelines of our kids’ spiritual lives. Discover how to:

  *Leverage sports as a platform for instilling biblical values in kids and teens.

  *Keep joy, play, and gratitude at every level of your child’s athletic experience.

  *Use sports involvement as an opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your child–from car-ride conversations to post-game processing.

  *Spark faith-based discussions about sport-culture challenges such as handling pressure, dealing with failure, and being a next-level teammate.

  *Counter the toxic elements of today’s youth sports culture by cultivating kingdom virtues like self-control, humility, and peace–in yourself and your kids.

  Away Game empowers you to embrace the role of spiritual mentor throughout your child’s athletic journey as you recognize–in the margins of every practice or game–winning opportunities for spiritual growth.

  Christian Athlete : Glorifying God In Sports

  $18.99

  The Christian Athlete is a gospel-centered guide that assists athletes who identify as Christians and are seeking to understand how to practically apply their faith to their sport.

  Athletes desire–and deserve–a more substantive expression of the Christian faith in the context of sport, but they don’t know what it looks like or where to turn to learn more.

  Author Brian Smith shares his story as an athlete and coach, and his experience working with high-level athletes in the last decade to help readers better understand how to integrate faith and sport by:

  *Assisting those who want a wide-angled understanding of how to live the Christian faith in the context of sports

  *Walking through the many questions Christian athletes ask about winning, losing, injuries, practice, and everything in between

  *Moving Christian athletes from simply having cliched spiritual sayings decorating their bodies or t-shirts to actually living out their faith through all the opportunities their sport offers them

  The Christian Athlete will show readers how to live out a biblical perspective on athletics and urge them to engage in the gifts they are given to glorify God whether they are the team MVP or riding the bench.
