Gospel in the Stadium Samuel A. Alabi

What is the relevance of a church in any neighborhood that the neighbors do not feel her presence? How can a church be surrounded by unbelievers and yet they do not even feel its presence? The book, Gospel in the Stadium, may be a serious parable for many of our churches; yet, it is a clarion call for us to engage in paradigm shift from what has become a tradition that must not be broken. Sports have become serious gods that some people worship on Sundays, and it may continue to grow given the forces of economics behind them. The media of all types are involved. The author has provided ideas as to how we can make good use of sports to share the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ. I fully recommend this book for all our pastors, youth leaders, men and women leaders who will find the contents helpful in organizing sporting activities in the local churches.
