2021 Australian Christian Book of the Year shortlist
Sport might be time off work, but it is not time off being a Christian. TheGood Sporting Life examines the nature and power of sport and its place in Australian culture. In this unique book, a passionate sportsman and follower of Jesus shows how Christians can profitably engage with sport as players, coaches, fans, parents and spectators. As Christians we are to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Liggins is wise, practical and easy to read. There's nothing wrong with competition. Thechallenge is in how we play the game.
