Football stars are real people too with the same issues that you and I have. Yorkey shows you this in this book and does it with ease. Yorkey's writing is to the point and straight forward. This book could be read over time, every chapter getting a day or two to read, or could be read quickly in one long sitting. In any case you won't get bored and it keeps you engaged. Pick up a copy.--Jeff Panko Battle Born NV (02/03/2014) I enjoyed hearing the back stories of some of these players. Whether overcoming obstacles in their personal lives or simply living out their faith on a larger-than-average stage, Yorkey reminds us that NFL players are like the rest of us in many ways, living out their faith in a secular world, seeking to find Christian fellowship with co-workers and to be a witness in a workplace full of doubters.--Paul Mastin The Reading Glutton (07/28/2013) Author InformationMike Yorkey, a former Focus on the Family magazine editor and author, co-author, or editor of more nearly 90 books, has written about sports for a variety of national publications.
