Game On! A Coach's Game Plan For Discipleship (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781737765929)

Life has been described as a game, but the stakes are much higher -- it's a matter of life and death! Christ followers compete against an adversary who not only wants to defeat them but to eternally destroy them. To win the game of life, we need an offensive strategy that will overpower, outsmart, and outlast our opposition. Coaching is the catalyst we use to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, conquer any rival, and propel us into the winner's circle.

In Game On! A Coach's Game Plan For Discipleship, the reader discovers how he or she can apply proven concepts that serve as a foundation of growth for the disciple and the beginning of a journey for the valued individuals with whom they engage. Metaphorically, life has been described as a game, but the stakes are much higher -- it's a matter of life and death! Since Christ followers are competing against an adversary who not only wants to defeat them but to eternally destroy them, they need an approach that will be equal to the task. Coaching is the vehicle that can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, conquer any foe, and keep the disciple in the winner's circle. In short, coaches transform and coaches transport. Upward and onward we are made to travel a victorious path, but we are never meant to travel alone.
