Avoiding the Blitz and Other Lifelessons from Football

by Dan Bolin

TACKLE YOUR DEVOTIONS! If you're looking for a great devotional that fits into your busy schedule, you've found it! Avoiding the Blitz is filled with short, insightful readings that get you into the Word and teach you about God. In it you'll find renewed passion for spending time with God and reading His Word (not to mention a great football story or two!) "We've all been there. Backed up on our own ten-yard line by stress and worry. Way behind in the score because we gave in to temptation or gave up on reading our Bible. In Avoiding the Blitz, Dan Bolin takes us back to the basics. In this well-written thirty-one day 'clinic,' he coaches us on how to get back in the game, fight the good fight, and live the victorious Christian life."-John Trent, Ph.D., president, Encouraging Words "Dan's commitment to serving the Lord and passing his knowledge on to others is a great challenge. Avoiding the Blitz has put him closer to reaching his goal of giving us practical instruction for living our lives."-Bill Bates, all-pro football player and three-time Super Bowl Champion for the Dallas Cowboys

Reviews

[Scott Parker · Rating 5 out of 5]

This Christian devotional was as excellent the second time I read it as it was the first time. It is a clear, manageable devotion book. Using stories about tackle football, the author explains very important Bible teachings in a fun and meaningful way.
