Time Out!

The gift or god of Youth Sports

John Perritt
  • £7.99 £5.59

Description

Sport is one of the many evidences of a gracious God. It can unite people, sharing together in the enjoyment it brings. But it brings the challenge of proper stewardship under God, especially when working with young people. Are they being encouraged to use their gifts and time to God’s glory? Are you ensuring that they are living by God’s Word, rather than prioritising their sport? There is a lot to learn about how God wants us to live through sports – both on and off the field.

One of the questions I receive most often from parents is, ‘How much is too much for my children to be involved in sports?’ This book doesn’t offer easy solutions, but it does provide the wisdom that parents need to drive them to God’s Word as they decide how sports can be used for God’s glory in their children’s lives.

If Jesus Christ is truly the Lord of all of life, then it’s necessary for us to follow Him into the sphere of sport … playing, parenting, and spectating to His glory. John Perritt offers thoughtful Gospel–grounded guidance for how to engage with God’s good gift of play.
