New Resources from Cross Training Publishing
From FCA: Are you looking for more resources for ministry? Cross Training Publishing has five new books written by FCA Staff including, Ryan Limbaugh, Bryan McKenzie and Sarah Roberts. Ryan serves with FCA in Alabama, while Bryan serves with FCA in the Midwest region and Sarah in Atlanta. They have written three new Bible studies for coaches or coaches wives based on The Book of James, The Book of Proverbs and The Book of Philippians.
Cross Training is now shipping athlete editions for these studies as well.
Former FCA Staff Coach Ron Brown, Gordon Thiessen and Rod Handley have teamed up for this year’s FCA Team Workouts on Character Volume #1. The lessons are geared for both coaches and athletes and include Coach Brown’s training video for teams. This resource includes 16 character lessons, which is perfect for a full season with teams.
Coach Brown and Gordon also teamed up with Wes Neal and others to produce Doing Sports God’s Way. It’s a handbook that includes Wes Neal’s groundbreaking biblical principles for competition for coaches and athletes. You can find many more resources at Cross Training Publishing.
Hope this helps, see you at these events!
Blessings,
FCA Wyoming
