Go For God's Gold - Paperback

Go For God's Gold places sports into an enduring perspective, the light of eternity. Coach Henty shares with his readers the fruit of his more than thirty years of coaching experience and devotion to the world of sports, as founder and president of Champions For Life, Inc., which has the mission of developing virtue and character through sports. Henty taps into his past experiences as a member of the Junior Olympic coaching staff and his athletic adventures in starting the first home in the country for male gymnasts to live and train together called the Gym-Nest. With admirable candor, he shares his personal story of how he evolved from a frustrated athlete who didn't accomplish his athletic dreams to a young coach of champions who still had little fulfillment until he was able to see through the eyes of one of his athletes who was dying from cancer. Go For God's Gold brings a greater meaning and value to athletics - and invites readers to this spiritual training ground, challenging them to seek holiness with the same intensity and desire with which they would strive to set a world record! In addition to critical acclaim, Go For God's Gold has been endorsed by Olympic and professional athletes and coaches for giving sports a spiritual dimension. Olympic Gold Medalist Tara Lipinski writes, "Go For God's Gold highlights that whatever you try to achieve in life is more easily accomplished when you have faith in God" and encourages athletes to "Go for God's Gold!"
