Competing Biblically: A Handbook for Coaches, Athletes, and Parents (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781929478880)

Competing Biblically is the integration of sport and faith.

The guts of the philosophy are built on four ideas: HOW WE TREAT THE SCOREBOARD

HOW WE TREAT THE OPPONENT
HOW WE TREAT THE OFFICIALS
HOW WE COMPETE DURING GAMES

The intention of this book is to help you create a plan to use sport for evangelism and discipleship. It is our desire that you will have this book as a resource to be a part of raising up an army of athletes and coaches that equip future and current fathers, mothers, employers, and employees to expand the Kingdom of God using the platform of sports.

Our goal is for you to:
HAVE A PLAN, MAKE IT A GOOD PLAN, AND EXECUTE THE PLAN.

"Competing biblically connects us to God, and we need that connection all the time in this upside-down world, just as a deep-sea diver needs the connection of an air hose. Tim Kuykendall, along with his mentor, coach Scotty Kessler, will help you make that breath-of-life connection through the pages of this book."
- Wes Neal, Author of The Handbook on Athletic Perfection

"Tim offers here the complete and unequivocal handbook to competing biblically! I'm going to give copies to all the athletes I know!"
- Jefferson Bethke, New York Times Bestselling Author of Jesus > Religion and It's Not What You Think
