The Christian Athlete is a gospel-centered guide that assists athletes who identify as Christians and are seeking to understand how to practically apply their faith to their sport. Athletes desire—and deserve—a more substantive expression of the Christian faith in the context of sport, but they don’t know what it looks like or where to turn to learn more. Author Brian Smith shares his story as an athlete and coach, and his experience working with high-level athletes in the last decade to help readers better understand how to integrate faith and sport by: Assisting those who want a wide-angled understanding of how to live the Christian faith in the context of sports Walking through the many questions Christian athletes ask about winning, losing, injuries, practice, and everything in between Moving Christian athletes from simply having clichéd spiritual sayings decorating their bodies or t-shirts to actually living out their faith through all the opportunities their sport offers them The Christian Athlete will show readers how to live out a biblical perspective on athletics and urge them to engage in the gifts they are given to glorify God whether they are the team MVP or riding the bench.

This is a daily devotional with 365 (plus one bonus) sports related devotions. God created you. He knows your language and how to best speak to you. I think many of us struggle to hear the voice of God because we think it needs to be a struggle. But it doesn't. If you just listen, God will speak to you in a way that you understand. For me it's sports. I know sports and I love sports. So that is often the way that God speaks to me. I will be watching a game and God will say, "You see that play? Sometimes I work just like that." Over that last year or so, when God spoke to me through sports, I wrote it down. And then put them all together in this book. Nothing in here is too complicated because I'm not too complicated. I like things simple, practical, short and to the point. So these devotionals are simple, practical, short and to the point. The book is set up to be a daily devotional. There are 366 days and 366 devotions (in case you read it during a leap year). I didn't add specific dates because you don't have to wait until New Years to make resolutions. You can start this book today. I also included a scripture for everyday because I think it's important to know that all of these truths are found in the Word of God. I also think that it's important to open the Bible for yourself, so I want to encourage you to not just read that one verse. Read a few verses before and a few verses after. Or better yet read the whole chapter. Ask God to speak to you through His word. And ask God to speak to you through this book.
