Inspirational Stories of Basketball and Compassion: Seeing God's Hand in Multiple Levels of Hoops (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798822902220)

Basketball is a marvelous game that teaches life values. For many, it has become the conduit to a purposeful and meaningful life of compassion, dedicating themselves to a cause or lending a hand to people who need support and assistance.

This is a very unique book about basketball. The people whose moving stories are included in this collection learned through basketball that their life's purpose must be about more than athletics-that as important as teamwork, confidence and physical conditioning are, helping someone who is hurting, giving them strength, love, encouragement and positive support, enabling them to believe in themselves, are far more important. Their inspirational stories show how basketball has enabled them to gain meaning in life by finding the compassion within themselves to lift up people who may be down.
