"This book is a great resource to help you become the athlete and teammate God designed you to be." "This book is a book of life that talks about not only my athletic life but also my spiritual life, which is the most important thing." "Athletes who want to expand and grow in their faith will benefit from reading Pastor Evans' book..." "In Get in the Game my good friend Tony Evans and his son Jonathan have given us an excellent spiritual conditioning program to enable athletes to live a victorious Christian life." Regardless of your sport, whether football, baseball, swimming, volleyball, or hockey, one thing remains the same - to win, you must get in the game. No amount of practice or preparation provides victory without the moment of truth when the plays on paper become the collisions and jolts on the field. While this may seem obvious to an athlete, many of them miss the critical spiritual parallel their sport represents. Too many Christian athletes are content to be on the team or watch as a fan rather than get in the game of living out an authentic Christian faith.
