Varsity Letters, Roger Lipe, Cross Training Publishing, 1997 ISBN 1-887002-56-1 (92 pages)
Roger Lipe is one of very few people who are both sports ministry practitioners and writers. He works as a university sports chaplain and is on staff with Fellowship of Christian Athletes in the USA.
Roger writing a weekly sports devotional and has also a chaplain's blog. His weekly devotions take Biblical principles and apply them to sport. Each devotional is 200-300 words, just the right length for the busy sports person to read.
Typical subjects are self-control, fear, injury, Hall of Fame .
This book is subtitled "Devotions for competitors" and is just that. An ideal gift for a sportsperson you know. It is just the right size to give to someone as she set off on a training camp. It has a subject index to direct the reader to the devotion to such their mood or need
I strongly recommend Roger's devotions to all sports people - whether in book form or via email.
