Have you ever wondered how God works in practical ways in today's world? Blake Sebring has spent 30 years telling stories about real people. He's heard stories of courage, redemption, persistence and overcoming challenges. But the ones that have affected him the most were the stories of faith.In this book, you'll find a collection of real-life testimonies from people of all walks and demographics of life -- including teachers, police officers, former addicts, celebrities, nurses, veterans, children and parents -- but most are athletes.Just like the rest of life, athletic competition is often about faith in yourself and your teammates ... and why not also in your God, who allows you to do all things? Participation in athletics teaches many life lessons; sometimes these lessons are about spiritual belief. These stories examine the faith and experiences of world-renowned athletes like Olympians Lloy Ball, DeDee Nathan and Sharon Wichman-Jones; Pro Football Hall of Fame member Rod Woodson; and world soccer star DaMarcus Beasley. But they also show regular, next-door-type people sharing stories of how God inspires them -- and how God can influence your life.Sebring's accounts, while written from Fort Wayne, Ind., come from Anytown, U.S.A. They are events that could happen anywhere. Delivered in devotional-style short stories, they provide real-world examples that may answer a few of your questions and even inspire you to see faith at work in your own life.
