Have you ever wished someone had given you a “heads up”? Sports can be tough. Everyone falls down or has a bad game once in a while. Athletes battle temptations, criticism, and mental blocks on and off the field. They run hard, fall hard, and play hard. All-stars need a tough faith. Heads Up! combines biblical principles with stories of athletes and sporting events, fun sports trivia, tips, and rare facts and figures. Each day’s thought includes a “Game Plan” memory verse, a “Playbook Assignment” Scripture reading, an “Instant Replay” life application question, a “Sports Stuff” segment with practical athletic advice, and “On the Chalkboard” final thoughts that bring everything together. This unique devotional is great for reluctant readers and is sure to inspire young players and sports fanatics.

Finding Faith in a Dishonest World Curt Schilling. Laura Wilkinson. Shaun Alexander. These athletes have something in common, but what is it? They’ve all excelled at their sport—gone above and beyond what many of their peer competitors have done. But their goal to be number one is not the only thing tying these athletes together. They all believe that God is the reason for their success, and they’re not shy about admitting it. Many sports figures today are too concerned with being on top—no matter what it takes to get there. Drug abuse, inappropriate behavior, and greed run rampant in the world of sports. It takes a lot of faith to stand strong in a world where you’re criticized for doing the right thing. Dave Branon acknowledges dozens of sports figures who know they’re not in this world alone. Each of these athletes has made a firm decision to stand for what is right in a world gone wrong—they really are the Undefeated ones.
