In England, be it soccer at Wembley, tennis at Wimbledon, racing at Ascot or rugby at Murrayfield, the British are a nation of sports lovers. And it is not just the British - worldwide, cricket and football are followed by millions of people, as an interest, a hobby, an escape or a career. Can we learn anything from their world? Yes, according to Jeff Lucas - and he has St Paul on his side. Drawing on the Bible's rich store of sporting metaphors and similes, Jeff reveals their lessons for life and faith. From keeping going when we want to give up, to dealing with failure - and even success - there is plenty here to help you on your race to the finish.
