Overview

Twenty high-profile footballers share their faith and reveal how it influences their lives, both on and off the pitch.

The book offers a range of information and insights into strictly football matters, while also exploring the way these players have ‘crossed the line’ into a relationship with Jesus, and showing how God is actively at work in professional football today.
