Outrun the Bear

Reflections on the Intersection of Sports and God

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sports are a microcosm of life. They provide goals to be achieved and obstacles to be overcome, they yield their share of joy and pain, and they're a stage upon which the best and worst of humanity is displayed. They are also a gift of God, one that can be either treasured or abused. In this book, you will: * Learn how to fit your sports pursuits into the larger context of life in a healthy way. * Be encouraged to reflect on the presence and blessing of God in your sports endeavours. * Be challenged to participate in sports in such a way as to bring glory to God. * Learn how to change to become more of the athlete and person you want to become. Drawing from a lifetime in sports and over a decade as a pastor, Benno Kurvits shares his wealth of experience in Outrun the Bear, showing that there is a way for us to enjoy sports, and to seek to excel at them, while honouring both God and our fellow man in the process. "Outrun the Bear makes a strong statement of the power of faith to shape and strengthen athletes, coaches, and everyone else in the sport experiences of life." -Dave Mantel Athletic Director, Redeemer University College
