| What
does it take to become a football champion? Alabama’s
Paul “Bear” Bryant knew. His Alabama teams won 13
Southeastern Conference Championships and six national
championships. What does it take to become a champion in
life? A host of biblical heroes in God’s Hall of Faith
knew. They stood on the teachings of scripture, joined
Jesus Christ’s team, and “turned the world upside
down.”
In Champions
through Christ, football and faith converge. Bart
Cannon weaves Bryant’s football formula of
“inspiration, preparation, and perspiration”
together with biblical principles to form a
"rock-solid" game plan
for winning the game of life.

| Bryant
said, “There are a lot of lessons in football that are
very difficult to teach in the home, in the church or in
the classroom. They’re easy to teach on the football
field.” In so many words, the legendary coach
described football as a microcosm of life. That is, the
struggles and triumphs on the gridiron closely resemble
the game each of us must play in the “real world”
every day.
Readers will find the author’s page-by-page
sports trivia entertaining and his real-life episodes
and practical applications inspiring, helpful and
challenging. Buckle your chin straps. After reading Champions
through Christ, you’ll be ready to play the best
game of your life!
