Overview

Las Vegas seems an unlikely place to find devout Christianity thriving. Yet amid the glitz and decadence of Sin City, NFL stars and supporters have proudly brought spirituality to the forefront during Super Bowl week. In Faith and Football in Vegas, veteran sports journalist Robert K. Gray provides an eye-opening portrait of players and fans expressing their faith despite the temptations of Vegas. Through deep access and moving personal stories, Gray chronicles acts of religious devotion - from locker room Bible studies and pre-game prayer circles to late-night ministry outreach on the Strip. The book explores heartfelt testimonies of belief from today's biggest stars, showcasing their moments of raw vulnerability and spiritual guidance from team chaplains. Gray spotlights retired players who dedicated their lives to ministry and motivational speaking after leaving the field. Additionally, he rides along with groups of nomadic Christian fans on their faith-filled road trips to support their teams. Ultimately, Faith and Football in Vegas offers an uplifting perspective on the prominent role Christianity continues to play in the NFL's signature event. Both an inspirational devotional and cultural study, the book examines expressions of faith at the intersection of religion and sports. Gray provides an intimate portrait of virtue thriving within America's greatest spectacle of excess.
