“The Game of Life” is a fun yet enlightening action filled VBS or Youth oriented book filled with great analogies of man’s three parts, which are body, soul, and spirit. The basketball has three parts outer covering, inner liner, and the air which is a great comparison. There is God’s team and the Devil’s team. Both want to WIN! We have a star player Jesus Christ, God the Father is the Coach, The Holy Spirit is the water, air, and ball boy, and God’s word is the referee “He’s the enforcer of the rules just like in an earthly game.” We also have cheerleaders. The opposing team has the Devil as the coach, Death as their star player, along with Time marking each second and minute. The book has 5 scenes that are easy to learn and put together for a great VBS or Youth Program. Each scene is progressive starting with Christ’s sacrifice, then our sanctification, salvation, stewardship, and last but not least our service to Him. I have also included a few memories about my mission trip to the Philippines last spring, where we had over one hundred youth and adults professed Christ as their personal savior. In addition, I have included a biography of Dr. James Naismith a wonderful Christian coach and the founder of the game of basketball. My burden for the youth was given to me many years ago and I am convinced this book along with God’s word, His Spirit, and your burdened heart can bring many to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. God bless you and God’s Speed, time is of the essence!
