The Reason for Sports

Description

Three cheers for . . . cheating, pride, and greed?

This book is for the avid sports fan who loves Jesus. Let’s face it: Sports-with the scandals, cheating, arrogance, and more that often accompany them-are complicated to watch. How should Christian sports fans enjoy the good in the game amidst all the bad?

There are books on how to worship God with our marriages, our money, and our sex lives. Books on how to “think biblically” about movies, television, and the arts. Books on how to vote and how not to vote as a Christian. But there is little thoughtful, Christ-centered writing on the subject that drives most of men’s banter with each other and consumes the bulk of their free time: sports.
