Using a journal and questions for self-reflection--called a \"box score\" and \"time-out\"--readers can reflect upon and create their own sportual stories. By examining words traditionally used within sports, \u003cem\u003eSportuality\u003c\/em\u003e helps the reader think critically about competition, community, communication, spirit, humor, enthusiasm, education, religion, holiness, sanctuary, sacrifice, and victory. \u003cem\u003eSportuality\u003c\/em\u003e can also expose our learned beliefs in war and violence so we might be willing to choose the alternatives of joy and peace.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeanne Hess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1452543828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781452543826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Balboa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Jeanne Hess","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425268416767,"sku":"9781452543826","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_45c068ab-f974-4518-977c-6b3107b2e859.jpg?v=1761538092","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sportuality-jeanne-hess-9781452543826","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
