Cross the Line by Ollie Baines And Liam Flint
Twenty high-profile footballers share their faith and reveal how it influences their lives, both on and off the pitch. The book offers a range of information and insights into strictly football matters, while also exploring the way these players have 'crossed the line' into a relationship with Jesus, and showing how God is actively at work in professional football today.
Football, fame, fast living, and faith? Surely they can’t go together? The modern day footballer appears to have everything, but beneath the glamorous surface are people just like you and me with their hopes, fears and frailtiesTo hear them talking openly and honestly about their faith is not just fascinating, but a massive encouragement. * Simon Thomas, Sky Sports *
