The apostle Paul first referred to the Greek Olympians when writing “run in such a way as to win the prize.” Olympic Gold medalist Josh Davis captures more than 60 devotionals from a variety of world-class athletes who discuss their struggles and victories with the Almighty One. They reflect on their changes in perspective and goals as Christ revealed to them how He is their true Glory.
An inspiring, thoughtful, relatable writing, this is a great devotional for any athlete or anyone who admires them – a worthy investment for coaches, P.E. teachers and youth pastors. In the words of Vanetta Flowers, U.S. gold medalist in bobsledding, “My faith was strengthened.”
