Living in the Zone: a 40 Day Spiritual Game Plan for Men is a new resource from Thomas Nelson Publishers. The authors are Kyle Rote Jr. and Dr. Joe Pettigrew. Rote is a former professional soccer player, a three time champion of ABC-TV Super Stars and a retired CEO of a sports management firm. Pettigrew is founder of Leaderpoint, an author, speaker and busy consultant to numerous Fortune 500 companies.
The format of the book is simple: it is 40-days of devotional for men emphasizing our relationship with God, wife, children, friends, work, and the future. Each daily devotional is an easy read of 5-7 pages with a section of questions for individual or group discussion, a brief daily assignment and a place for prayer requests and praise. Each daily section uses scripture and inspirational stories from the likes of Kurt Warner, Tony Dungy, Allan Houston and John Wooden.
Former head football coach Tom Osborne of the Nebraska Cornhuskers describes Living in the Zone: applying spiritual truths to the dilemma of balancing career and family in today’s culture….it draws on athletic metaphors to illustrate the importance of doing things God’s way rather than our way.
I highly recommend Living in the Zone to church leaders wanting to take the men in their congregation to a deeper level of discipleship.
