Triumph! Powerful Stories of Athletes of Faith
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Winning really does matter—when you’re describing the
game of life. Here are more than 100 compelling stories of athletes
and their faith walk. New from Pat Williams, vice president of the
NBA’s Orlando Magic and author of more than 70 books, Triumph!
Powerful Stories of Athletes of Faith provides short,
easy-to-read entries on baseball, basketball, football, and other
players, some you already know and others worth knowing. Featuring
names like Kurt Warner, Mickey Mantle, Tony Dungy, David Robinson,
Andy Pettitte, and many more, Triumph! describes the
Trusting, Rejoicing, Inspiring, Understanding, Meditating,
Praising, and Honoring aspects of truly victorious athletes.

From the Introduction:
I have been involved (more correctly deeply immersed) in sports for the majority of my 74 years. I have spent 52 of those years in professional sports (baseball and basketball) as a player, general manager, and senior vice-president. As a non-casual observer, I emphatically submit that in the sports world, winning really, really matters.
What matters most to you and me, however, is how we as individuals play and win in life. It is tempting to say “in the game of life,” but life is not a game. It is a serious business.
The book you are about to read, Triumph!Powerful Stories of Athletes of Faith, contains dozens of stories submitted by athletes, coaches, and sports observers who have experienced ultimate victory as a result of their faith in God. May these stories bless your soul, bolster your faith, and motivate you to boldly and victoriously serve our omnipotent God.
