The Abiding Athlete: 1 John

The Abiding Athlete is a serious study of the New Testament book of 1 John explicitly designed for athletes. Athletes living for the Kingdom of God reshape the culture around them. Jesus tells us that apart from Him, we can do absolutely nothing! You must learn to abide daily in Christ to make the most of your influence.

1 John makes every reader look into the depths of his own heart and ask, “Am I truly in Christ?” Athletes, if you want to maximize your influence for Christ in every area of your life (e.g., classroom, locker room, living room, and playing field), The Abiding Athlete is an excellent resource for you!
