Living Life in the Zone is a Touchdown

 Living Life in the Zone: A 40-Day Spiritual Gameplan for Men by Kyle Rote Jr. and Dr. Joe Pettigrew 

is an outstanding book for anyone wanting to become closer to their spiritual being.  This book would be useful in any men's study group.  The devotionals are divided into 15-20 minute segments.  It is set in the tradition of a coach explaining the game of life. 
Some of the featured playmakers include: Charles Barkley, Bill Bates, Coach Bill Belichick, Larry Bird, Coach Bobby Bowden, James Brown, Coach Bear Bryant, Truett Cathy, Lee Corso, John Daly, Coach Tony Dungy, Clay Dyer, J.D. Gibbs, Mike Glenn, Coach Mike Gottfried, A.C. Green, David Green, Orel Hershiser, Coach Mike Homgren, Coach Lou Holtz, allan Houston, Wayne Huizenga Jr., Magic Johnson, Bobby Jones, Michael, Jordan, Coach Bobby Knight, Coach Tom Landry, Ken Lay, Coach Vince Lombardi, Archie Manning, Chris Mortensen, Joe Namath, Coach Tom Osborne, Terrell Owens, Bud Paxson, Scottie Pippen, Coach Mark Richt, Mark Sanford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, O.J.Simpson, Ron Springs, Coach Gene Stallings, Roger Staubach, Les Steckel, Bob Stoops, Joe Theismann, Michael Vick, Everson Walls, Kurt Warner, Bob Weiland, Reggie White, Coach John Wooden.

Each devotional will take about 15-20 minutes to read through allowing the devotion to sink in and make life changing events happen. This was an easy read and quite practical. Playing off the popular 40 Day model of studies, this book can be a great tool to help establish the personal discipline of reading or a men's group in your community. Each day's reading takes no more than a few minutes and could be fit into anyone's daily routine; early morning, lunch break or end of the day.  I would recommend this as a gift for the Men in your life, and I give it a 5 out of 5 stars.

Finally, this book will put you in the end zone with better relationships with your family, your friends, and yourself.
