Football, fame, fast living, and faith? Surely they can’t go together? The modern day footballer appears to have everything, but beneath the glamorous surface are people just like you and me with their hopes, fears and frailties. To hear them talking openly and honestly about their faith is not just fascinating, but a massive encouragement.
I am truly grateful for the revealing insights in this book from those who have not just played football well but kept the faith while doing so.
A rare, interesting and encouraging look at how some well-known football players live out their faith on and off the pitch. A great read for football fans like me!

[It] offers something genuinely new and exciting that is both interesting and spiritually nourishing.
