The Biggest Win focuses on the faith of six Christian football players who are in the NFL....particularly, the 2017 Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl team. I remember seeing video on social media of some of the testimonies from this team and I couldn't help but like them and celebrate with them in their win.
Reading this book gave me a fresh insight into what these players have face in their lives. Carson Wentz and his love for God is so encouraging to see. He didn't have an easy road. I learned several facts about NFL players, in general, that I didn't know before.
I hadn't really taken into account how hard it would have been to be in such a close knit team and then to be traded. Yet, that's the reality for several of these players. I did rejoice when they all had the opportunity to come together to win the super bowl!
I absolutely loved this book and how so much of the book pointed to Christ. I mean, my eyes got big as I saw John Piper quotes and explanations of the gospel. Hallelujah! I loved how "spot on" this book was theologically. I was hurrying to read it simply so I could give it to my son for him to read.
For anyone who has a sports-loving kid, this book is for them. I can even see parents reading it with their children and talking about the lessons that they could learn. The back of the book says you can use it in small group. Normally I'd say no, but because the gospel is all throughout this book and the players are constantly pointing people's attnetion away from themselves and onto God, it'd be a great resource!
I'm so thankful for this resource and now I can talk about it with my son!
