    About this audiobook

    Step into the locker rooms and living rooms of NFL players and their families.

    See how a close relationship with God guides football's biggest stars. In a behind-the-scenes, off-the-field glimpse into one of America's most beloved sports, Men of Sunday reveals how Sunday's greatest rely on God to face issues such as drug abuse, family crises, injuries, and temptations resulting from fame and fortune.

    Compiled from dozens of interviews, Men of Sunday marks the intersection of two Sunday traditions: faith and football. Inspired by the league's "systemic shift" toward embracing Christianity, Bloomberg writer Curtis Eichelberger shows how God is a source of comfort when facing the unique challenges of life in the NFL and the everyday challenges of maintaining strong families and building character.

    Featured personalities include:
    • Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis
    • Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis
    • Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers
    • Former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy
    • Former Chicago Bears middle linebacker Mike Singletary
    • San Diego Chargers chaplain Shawn Mitchell
    • New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson
    • Danisha Rolle, wife of former Tennessee and Baltimore defensive back Samari Rolle

    Men of Sunday is a must-have for any football fan, teaching the invaluable lesson of trusting in the Lord - both on and off the field.

      First, and I don't know why but I was really surprised by the number of Christians in the NFL. I knew players like Kurt Warner, and Tim Tebow are a few, and I felt far between. I don't know the exact number of Christian men in the NFL, but there are a lot more than I knew.I found this book to be quite an insight into the every day lives of the players. To find some meeting for prayer sessions before games, was a surprise, and a pleasant one. Some of the things going on these players lives rather made sense and I could probably predicted it, but it is written in black and white. The women who throw themselves at these players, yes they "want" to get pregnant.We see into the family lives of these players, and how hard the separation is on them. I loved the Arizona Cardinals Woman's Bible Study group, and how they are there for one another.I now find some wonderful Godly men are in the NFL, and are fine examples for today's youth. Thank you Curtis Eichelberger for this insightful and heartwarming read.I received this book from the Publisher Thomas Nelson, and was not required to give a positive review.
