Description: There are books on how to worship God with our marriages, our money, and our sex lives. Books on how to "think biblically" about movies, television, and the arts. Books on how to vote Christianly and how not to vote Christianly. But there is little thoughtful, Christ-centered writing on the subject that drives most of men's banter with each other and consumes the bulk of their free time. Sports.

Written in the vein of Rick Reilly ( Sports Illustrated), Chuck Klosterman ( Spin, Esquire), and David Foster Wallace ( A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again), The Reason for Sports will both entertain and shed light on some of today's most pertinent sports issues: race, drugs, hero worship, and more - all through a biblical lens.

"Ted Kluck helps us think about sports Christianly without the Christian cliches and worn-out sports piety. He's an athlete and a fan whose writing implicitly reminds us why God created sports: for the joy of play."
--Mark Galli, senior managing editor, Christianity Today

"Ted Kluck is passionate about sports. He's even more passionate about the gospel. You won't read any athletic rags-to-riches stories or find any cheesy quotes about 'leaving 100 percent on the field' in The Reason for Sports . Instead, you'll find insights into God, the gospel, and the sometimes crazy, sometimes wonderful world of sports."
--Stephen Altrogge, author of Game Day for the Glory of God
