Exploring Faith and Football

By: Candee Fick

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Life is like the game of football.

As the wife of a high-school football coach, Author Candee Fick has climbed metal bleachers in all kinds of weather to see firsthand the battle for field position and points. In addition to discovering the benefits of a comfortable stadium chair, she has seen many lessons about life illustrated on the playing field including coaching, preparation, strategy, teamwork, protection, rules and consequences, criticism, perseverance, time outs, and rewards.

This eleven-week faith devotional journey explores what faith and football have in common through a mixture of aspects of the game of football, personal anecdotes, practical examples, and Scripture to illustrate biblical truths about life. Each week includes an introduction, five daily readings, application drills, and a topic review.
