Review # 1 was written on 2013-06-10 00:00:00 David Dubois Although the book was a post-movie work, it was more enjoyable than the movie. I am grad that I watched the movie first as it helped me to get through the book easily. There were great thoughts putting in structuring the novel. The chapters followed the football's timeline. Each sub-chapter was given a good title and with sessions named with the characters' to tell the story. The whole story flows beautifully and develops to the highly intensive ending victory. Along the story, the motivative lessons are learned: - Prepare your fields as an act of faith for the rain. - Love your God with your mind, heart and soul by giving your best in everything you do. - Base faith in God not just for what He does for us, but because of who He is. - Do not judge others by their actions and judge yourself by your intentions. It should be the other way around. - God said many times: Do not fear! Especially when things get tough! - God has uniquely pre-wired each child with special gifts, talents and passions. Wise parents (or teachers, trainers, coaches and mentors) will discover the blueprints and cultivate them. - We're talking about a relationship with Jesus. Refocus your passion toward the higher purpose (glorifying God) not just for your own temporary fulfillment in this life. Yes, it is a religion-purpose story. But I do enjoy very much the motivating encouragements and the spiritual wanders of God's blessings. These 2 elements have created the elements of this novel.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-11-22 00:00:00 Christian Hannig (book, DVD, fiction) a. I've watched the movie more than once so that in itself has to say something about this marvelously done movie and book. While the cover shows a football game, this story is not particularly about football. It's about loving God in the midst of trials when things seem hopeless. Someone had asked Grant's wife if she would still love God even if she might never have a child. After yet another negative pregnancy test, she tells God "I'll still love you." b. The main character Grant Taylor is the head coach for the Christian school's football team.
