Synopsis

Step into the locker rooms and living rooms of NFL players and their families.

See how a close relationship with God guides football’s biggest stars. In a behind-the-scenes, off-the-field glimpse into one of America’s most beloved sports, Men of Sunday reveals how Sunday’s greatest rely on God to face issues such as drug abuse, family crises, injuries, and temptations resulting from fame and fortune.

Compiled from dozens of interviews, Men of Sunday marks the intersection of two Sunday traditions: faith and football. Inspired by the league’s “systemic shift” toward embracing Christianity, Bloomberg writer Curtis Eichelberger shows how God is a source of comfort when facing the unique challenges of life in the NFL and the everyday challenges of maintaining strong families and building character.

Featured personalities include:
• Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis
• Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis
• Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers
• Former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy
• Former Chicago Bears middle linebacker Mike Singletary
• San Diego Chargers chaplain Shawn Mitchell
• New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson
• Danisha Rolle, wife of former Tennessee and Baltimore defensive back Samari Rolle

Men of Sunday is a must-have for any football fan, teaching the invaluable lesson of trusting in the Lord — both on and off the field.

Goodreads review by Brenten on December 20, 2012

I'm pretty good with words, but I'm not sure I can adequately articulate how disappointed I was by this book. Described as an exploration of the role faith has in the lives of NFL coaches, players, and wives, MEN OF SUNDAY proves to be a cursory glance at best and a confusing jumble of platitudes at......more

Iteresting. I was pleased to see many of my favorites in this book. Also pleased how much NFL teams work to help players with issues. I did find it seemed repetitive so it came close to boring. And there were occasional remarks by author that came across as a bit arrogant.......more

I received this book for free from Thomas Nelson as a part of their BookSneeze program. Because we are a "football family", I was intrigued by the idea of Men of Sunday: How Faith Guides the Players, Coaches & Wives of the NFL by Curtis Eichelberger so I quickly selected it. The back cover promises th......more

Goodreads review by Allizabeth on December 13, 2012

Review: Being a resident of Maryland, I am quite partial to the Baltimore Ravens (NFL) team, so when I saw a book that mentioned Ray Lewis, I was definitely intrigued! Ray Lewis is one of the team's driving forces, always cheering on and motivating teammates on and off the field. There's not a game......more
