The Soccer Psalms (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798346274018)

The Soccer Psalms is a unique and exciting book that takes the beautiful and poetic language of the biblical psalms and translates them into the world of soccer! Each chapter connects well-known psalms to soccer themes, using analogies that make the message of the psalms relatable and easy to understand.

For example, The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters... is translated into: The Lord is my coach, I shall not be in want of anything -a starting position or playing time. He lets me run on green grasses, he rests me during the off-season...

As you read, you'll find encouragement to reflect on your own experiences with soccer. Whether you're playing on a team, cheering from the sidelines, or just practicing your skills, The Soccer Psalms helps you see how each of these moments can connect you to God. You're invited to think about how the joys, challenges, and lessons from the Beautiful Game can deepen your faith and understanding.

With soccer language and relatable examples, The Soccer Psalms features 31 different psalms and has reflections from long-time soccer chaplain Rev Brad Kenney. Readers are encouraged to meditate on their own feelings and experiences around faith and soccer. Mediation questions help make the biblical and soccer psalms applicable to everyday life and situations. The book is great for individuals or for a team or small group study.

The Soccer Psalms show that every game is not just about winning or losing, but also about growing, learning, and experiencing God's presence in our lives. Perfect for soccer lovers and anyone curious about faith, this book will inspire you to kick off your own journey with God!
