Good inspirational book

I purchased this for my grandson' birthday and read it before i gave it to him. I am not very sports minded but it was a well written biography of a spectacular human being who is doing a good job of showing young men what makes a great man in God's eyes.

very inspiring

Season of Life- follows a football season with high school football Coach Joe Erhmann. Jeffrey Marx does a great job detailing the teaching methods and philosophy of Coach Erhmann and the history of that philosophy. I was able to learn several valuable lessons from the book and will use them when coaching and mentoring children. I have also purchased copies of the book to pass along to other coaches. I think this is a must read for anyone who plays an influential role in the lives of children.

Molding Americas Youth

A must read for all public and private school athletic coaches. This excellent book epitomizes the characteristics deemed necessary to assist and mold America's young people.

Great Life Lessons

Woven in the story of a High School football season are some of the best values for manhood. Great teaching tool. I shared it with my two sons and even underlined a few things so it wouldn't escape their attention.

good, like facing the giants

Here goes my laymen's attempt at paraphrasing Matthew 22 vs 34 thru 3_... Love God with all that you have in you, is the most important commandment... says Jesus, yet right along side (as on the other side of the same coin, or as two wings on a plane) is Love your neighbor as much as you love yourself... and all of what the prophets say and all of the other commandments are built upon these 2 things that Jesus said. Labeled the Greatest Commandment...that indicates the importance of it.

So this book, Season of Life, looks at the real life of two men (football coaches) that put this in action in mentoring/descipling young men in the Baltimore area. If you liked the movie Facing the Giants or you are mentoring/descipling young men, you will enjoy this book. Light on evanglism (word) but the actions (deeds-acting on your faith) and hearts of the men speak volumns. PTL for working in these men's life, a real life story that is getting much attention. Very well done Mr. Marx!
