The Athlete's Topical Bible

I was given this book as a graduation present two years ago. Since then it has gone from a new shiny black paperback into a dog-eared, highlight-filled, cover-torn mass of paper that resembles what might have been a book. The reason -- it goes with me everywhere. This is the perfect book for any young Christian who has any bit of athleticism in their veins. We all get discouraged, we all get angry, we all want to quit at some time or another when we participate in athletics long enough. The Bible is full of motivation that is perfect for the challenges athlete's face both on and off the field. The only problem is it is surrounded by a bunch of other stuff, that today's active youngster doesn't want to wade through just to find the point.This book provides short excerpts that are already categorized to common sources of need for young athletes. All one has to do is turn to the proper page and wahlah!, they can easily see the advice that the Bible gives for people in their situation.Be warned. It will never take the place of one's own Bible, because it lacks the background info that is often important. But if one has some knowledge of the different parts in the Bible, these short passages will provide the perfect quick boost. It's like a power bar for the soul. Get rejuvenated. I did.
