By Wally Carew.

This is a book that takes a new look at sports and spirituality. Some of America's greatest sports figures talk about the spiritual strength that sustained them in moments of glory and in moments of pain. Among those featured are: Mickey Mantle, Jackie Robinson, Bob Cousy, Roger Staubach, Mike Ditka, Gerry Faust, Jim O'Brien, Stan Musial, Ernie Banks, and Red Schoendienst.

Men of Spirit, Men of Sports is about tough guys with a strong faith in God, and about how the games little boys play help form them as men. Carew profiles several sports figures of extraordinary faith...he has a gift for mixing tenderness with toughness, as you might expect from an altar boy who also played linebacker. --The Boston Globe
