Living Life in the Zone by Kyle Rote Jr and Dr Joe Pettigrew

Growing up in South Central Texas, the Kyle Rote name was very familiar to me, but when I moved away from Texas and started playing rugby the name dropped out my field of vision, that is, until I picked up a copy of his latest book Living Life in the Zone: A 40-Day Spiritual Gameplan for Men. Kyle Rote Jr teams up with Dr Joe Pettigrew in this 40-day devotional study aimed at sports-minded men.

For the man who feels guilty sitting at home on Sunday morning watching sports while his wife and kids attend church, this may just be the book that helps you put down the remote and get off the couch. The authors don't preach, but instead gently encourage you to re-examine the choices you make with compelling anecdotes and sound scriptural backing. Before the forty days are up you may just find yourself with a better relationship with your wife, your kids and your Savior. Pastors looking for sermon illustrations will also find a treasure trove of interesting stories that may just help to keep the Sunday sports fanatic coming back for more and men's groups looking for new study material will be thankful to find a study that speaks to men where they are. I've already loaned my copy out to my pastor and can recommend this study to any man searching for a simple bible-based study on marriage, kids, work and faith.
