Part memoir, part spiritual guide, A Sports Junkie's Guide to the Spiritual Life is written for the sports fan who is quietly searching for something more. A concise, warm, and deeply personal read perfect for the fan in the pew — or the man who hasn't been to church in years.
At the heart of the book is a practical, memorable framework built around six CHAMPS virtues — Courage, Humility, Authenticity, Moderation, Purposefulness, and Service — presented as the ultimate playbook for living a championship life.
This book doesn't ask you to give up sports. It asks you to let your love of the game point you toward something greater — and shows you, story by story, how that's possible.
About the Author
Andy Oreffice is a husband, father of four (two biological, two adopted), consultant, and co-founder of the Catholics Adopt Project. His credentials aren't theological — they're experiential: decades of sports fanaticism, a rich entrepreneurial & corporate career, and an honest, hard-won faith journey that readers will find genuine and relatable.
Voices of the Arena
A great insight Into a man's journey into discovering significance and what matters most in life. Andy weaves his own experiences and passions in a fascinating and entertaining way to share his faith and how he as ordered his life around his deepest priorities. I particularly appreciated his personal insights into the ups and downs of the adoption process and how adoption honors life and honors God. Good stuff!
