Heads Up!: Sports Devotions for All-Star Kids

Have you ever wished someone had given you a "heads up"? Sports can be tough. Everyone falls down or has a bad game once in a while. Athletes battle temptations, criticism, and mental blocks on and off the field. They run hard, fall hard, and play hard. All-stars need a tough faith. Heads Up combines biblical principles with stories of athletes and sporting events, fun sports trivia, tips, and rare facts and figures. Each day's thought includes a "Game Plan" memory verse, a "Playbook Assignment" Scripture reading, an "Instant Replay" life application question, a "Sports Stuff" segment with practical athletic advice, and "On the Chalkboard" final thoughts that bring everything together. This unique devotional is great for reluctant readers and is sure to inspire young players and sports fanatics.
