Publisher's Synopsis
If you are looking for a book that will speak to the men in your life (Fathers and Sons), and really challenge and encourage them to follow the Lord, this is it. And it's in a language they already understand - Sports!All-Pro Quarterback Steve Bartkowski says, "In Iron-Man Christianity, Wallace Francis reveals the key to true success in the Christian Life. To become Iron-Men for Jesus Christ, we must follow Him; there is no Plan B."1958, the Green Bay Packers ended their season 1-10-1. They had not had a winning season since 1947. They were perennial losers, yet the roster of that 1958 team reads like a litany of NFL Hall of Fame royalty. Among others were Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, Jim Taylor and Jim Ringo. In 1959, the Packers began a dynasty that dominated the NFL for nine years. What changed? Only one thing - Vince Lombardi became the head coach. Lombardi convinced his players that if they would follow him, he would make them winners. They followed Lombardi and the rest is history.In Iron-Man Christianity, Wallace Francis (a 9-year veteran wide receiver with the Atlanta Falcons) reveals how many of the principles Lombardi used are the same ones used by Jesus Christ 2000 years ago to transform His followers. Lombardi took 22 men and dominated the NFL for nine years. Jesus Christ convinced twelve of the most ordinary men that if they would follow Him, He would change the world through them. His disciples chose to follow Him and the world has never been the same - and neither were they. If you want to learn what a true disciple of Jesus Christ looks like, this book will teach you with clear biblical principles gleaned from the lives of men who understood commitment.
