You Are More Than Your Score: On Sports and Spirituality - Hardcover

by Dan Shenk (Author)

You Are More Than Your Score: On Sports and Spirituality majors in storytelling: true stories from sports history, up to the present, regarding dozens of household names. The book takes a heartfelt, behind-the-headlines approach to the mixed blessing of sports, along with the very real human beings who compete. It also presents numerous accounts of ordinary people with extraordinary stories.

Further, the author describes how games and sports have played an important part in his life and faith. He has increasingly seen the benefits of spiritual disciplines. The book describes more than 30 spiritual practices. You Are More Than Your Score seeks to bring together two vital aspects of the author's life.

The book makes a strong case that defeat, loss and brokenness in sports, as well as in life itself, can set the stage, empathically and paradoxically, for grace, healing and service to others, in the spirit of Jesus. The author invites readers to join him on the journey.
