About God X Basketball: An Athlete's Playbook To

Product Description Foreword by Christopher Dempsey As you develop your relationship with God, you will learn that while basketball is a lifestyle, it's not life. God is. This book of basketball-themed devotionals accepts readers where they are and encourages them to continually strengthen their personal relationship with God. God x Basketball will help you: - develop Christ-led character on and off the court. - discover a deeper purpose through your role in sports. - allow God to lead you through the peaks and valleys of life and sports. - use basketball as a vehicle to support you in your faith walk. - place God first in your life. Readers will learn that their talents should never compromise the continued development of their Christ-like character, which is the spirit in which basketball was invented. Knowing what to do in the game is one thing. Know what to do in life is another. Review "I've had the pleasure of watching Nick Graham grow from a youngster into a man. His father, Paul, and I were assistant coaches on Eddie Sutton's staff at Oklahoma State in 1992. Nick has always had a passion for hoops and a very caring heart for others, which is apparent in his book. He takes biblical principles and presents them in a way that today's athletes and coaches can identify with and relate to, which is why God x Basketball is a must-read. I found it uplifting and motivating, and I look forward to having my Kansas University players read it and become better for it."--Bill Self,Kansas University Head Coach,Basketball Hall of Famer "Because of Nick's life experiences, I believe this book will have a greater reach than expected. Regardless of our position in sports, a meaningful and consistent walk with Christ will allow all of us to grow in a way that matters for eternity. This book will aid in that development."--Buzz Williams,Texas A&M Head Basketball Coach "In my over two decades-long friendship with Nick, I've seen him grow from a curious young hooper to a grown young man who knows his two passions, God and basketball. He and I have spent countless hours discussing how we can impact and influence the next generation. I'm extremely proud of the man Nick has become, and his book, God x Basketball, will make a significant impact on all who read it. I will sit back and continue to enjoy his growth and impact." --Chauncey Billups, NBA Champion, NBA Finals MVP "I've had the pleasure of competing against Nick during his playing days at Washington State. It's incredibly refreshing to see him apply his experience in hoops to his faith and use that recipe as a vehicle to encourage others. This book is a gem and is the perfect playbook to assist its readers not only on their journey through sports but life as well." --Mark Few, Head Basketball Coach, Gonzaga University "Nick is not just a friend; he is also an extremely positive influence on my life. He has mentored countless kids who have gone on to be successful not only in athletics but also in other fields and professions. He is passionate, hardworking, and practices what he preaches. He has helped me make leaps and bounds in my career by assisting me in developing into a better player and person. I appreciate him as a friend, and this book is something that every young basketball player and athlete should read to reach theirfull potential."--Jimmer Fredette,2011 National College Player of the Year,NBA Professional Basketball Player From the Author This book is ideal for all of us who love God, want to get to know Him better, and also have a passion for basketball.
