This is actually a three volume set which sets out character traits we should all strive to obtain. It is really geared towards young athletes to be done in a small group. I wish I had been involved with a small group of Christians and studied something like this. I love God and sports so it is a great combo. I did it on my own for my daily devotional.
Each volume contains approximately 16 character traits which are discussed during the session. Each starts off with a short story or two of how an athlete exhibited that character trait in a sporting event. The athlete will then give their testimony. Next up is Bible reading that covers that character trait which is then discussed. There are then 3 warm up questions to be answered by the small group. Character training follows which is 5 short Bible verses a lot of times coming from Proverbs covering that character trait. Go the Distance is next. This involves 3-4 in depth questions that will getting you thinking and talking about applying that character trait in your lives. The Finish Line gives you a Bible verse to memorize. Finally, Character Quality gives a short, memorable phrase that shows the importance of the character trait in your walk with God.
These books are great and I would highly recommend them for Christians of all ages.
