I know what you’re thinking. Spiritual Sports Favorites is a very odd title for a sports comic book.
However, humor me. Better yet, light a candle in prayer or begin a fast for me, especially if you consider this clever book on spiritual expressions, names, plays, places and people in the world of sports to be sacrilegious.
But, here’s the gospel truth. You don’t need supernatural understanding or divine inspiration to enjoy my creative take on ten examples that inhabit the spiritual landscape of sports.
Sure, there may be only one chapter title in this book that mentions God. Even that is a bit of a stretch.
Secondly, there may be only one reference to a ghost, a few to priests and not a single one to rabbis, monks, mullahs or nuns to be found anywhere in the book.
However, Spiritual Sports Favorites is comprised of several chapters on miracles which should make all spiritual sports fans smile.
You’ll find an improbable hockey victory, a divine catch in an NFL playoff game and a desperate forward pass that requires prayer and plenty of faith to complete.
The stories may not transport you up to heaven for a classic battle in the clouds or down to hell for a fierce tussle amongst smoldering fire and brimstone.
Instead, this book pays homage to light-hearted anecdotes and ethereal stories that capture how we sometimes view sports through a spiritual lens.
You don’t need to be a Bible thumping evangelical to understand my unique spiritual sports observations.
Neither will you need to consult with a rabbi, priest, mullah or shaman to appreciate my off-beat take on sports.
No need to light that candle, begin that fast or dust off the hymnal. Just sit back, kick up your feet and enjoy prayerfully meditating on my 10 best Spiritual Sports Favorites.
You’ll be saying hallelujah to my picks before you can genuflect or bow your head in silence!
Straight talk. No static!
MIKE – aka Mike Raffone – thee ultimate talking head on sports!
