A book for anyone who enjoys sports. Discover how the gospel transforms our thinking, our playing, and our watching.
Millions of us love sports—playing, supporting, watching. But have you ever thought about how your love for sports connects with your love for Jesus?
Some of us feel a bit guilty for loving sports so much, especially when there are so many other ways in which we could be using our time to serve God. Others see it simply as a great way to share the gospel (while having fun). And many of us have never really thought about it at all!
This book will show you what the Bible says. You’ll discover a more liberating approach than feeling a bit guilty, a deeper approach than seeing sports as only an evangelistic opportunity, and a better approach than not linking your faith and your love of sports at all.
Starting with asking why God created sports in the first place, Spiritual Game Plan explores how the gospel impacts and transforms the way we think and play. You'll discover how to enjoy sports even more as you let God shape your perspective, and you'll see how he can use your sports to grow and shape you as his follower.
Includes lots of stories from elite to everyday athletes, as well as chapters on specific topics such as sports on Sundays. In addition to teaching for athletes, there is advice for parents, coaches, and fans.
This is a great gift for Christians who love sports.

A spectacularly well-rounded book on faith and sports: grounded in creation, centered on the gospel, and aimed at practical discipleship. Daniels and Reid have written a thoughtful and accessible book that will inspire many to play for the glory of God. I highly commend it to athletes, coaches, fans, or anyone interested in the intersection of faith and sports.
A must-read for any Christian athlete. Graham and Jonny do a great job of encouraging us back to a foundation of knowing the treasure of Christ and who we are in him. May this bring you restored freedom to play your sport to the best of the abilities God has given you—for his glory and your delight.
Sports are an amazing gift from God, but, just like any good gift, they can become an idol in the hearts of sinners. Graham and Jonny do an excellent job of praising the gift while encouraging the reader to do some deep heart- searching. Any athlete, parent, or coach would do well to read this.
