I chose to read this book because the subtitle of "The Walk" said "Clear Direction and Spiritual Power For our Life." Who wouldn't want that? I had no knowledge of the author and when the book arrived, it surprised me to see his photo on the front cover as that is very unusual. When I flipped to the back cover, I discovered that the author is a former NFL player, so I asked my football-obsessed husband, "Honey, have you ever heard of an NFL player named Shaun Alexander?" to which he replied, "Of course! He was great. He played for the Seattle Seahawks and left them to go into ministry."
It was so refreshing to read something by a professional athlete who was (1) articulate and intelligent, and (2) humble. Professional athletes aren't exactly known for their humility, right? Shaun Alexander is the exception as he clearly gives all credit for his abilities, talents, and skills to God.
Tears flowed when I read about the player hurt on the field and Shaun and his teammates standing over him in prayer as the trainer worked on him. It was just so moving. I think that this book clearly demonstrates that if you're going to talk the talk, then you'd better walk the walk and Shaun Alexander clearly does that and brings people to a relationship with Christ. Go, Shaun!
A bonus part of the book is an unexpected delight wherein the author answers frequently asked questions about religion, God, and the bible. Great stuff!
