Bernie Schock has written this book to help parents raise kids whose passion and priority is to be God's champions in this world of \u003ci\u003emore.\u003c\/i\u003e The apostle Paul reminds us that p\u003ci\u003ehysical training is of \u003cstrong\u003esome value\u003c\/strong\u003e, but godliness has \u003cstrong\u003evalue for all things\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003eChildren's athletics provide many rich opportunities to help kids grow into men and women who love God whole-heartedly and others selflessly.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book isn't simply Monday morning quarterbacking. Bernie Schock has lived this as a father, a fan, a coach, an athlete, a referee. He admits that, at times, his involvement in sports interfered with his own love for God and others. Thus, this book seeks to direct both children's \u003cstrong\u003eand\u003c\/strong\u003e parents' hearts. Parents will not be able to help their kids grow through sports until they understand why sports have such a powerful grip on many of them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChildren's sports can be a source of great delight--or great pain. But what makes for good and bad experiences? This book seeks to answer that question so that sports can provide rich blessings to children's development--physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlay ball \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49531439579409,"sku":"CIN1939447526G","price":5.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50331475411217,"sku":"CIN1939447526VG","price":4.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1939447526.jpg?v=1750804825","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/raising-champions-book-bernie-schock-9781939447524","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
