I have been reading The Walk by Shaun Alexander lately and really enjoyed it. As a great football fan and a striving to grow Christian it intertwined two of my greatest passions in life and helped me to further process and evaluate where I am and where God would have me to be both spiritually and physically.
The way the book is laid out follows a progression, "The Walk with God" while somewhat oversimplified at times, I think the book does a good job of taking the reader from where every person starts with their interaction and relationship with God and shows how they can grow and how others before them have succeeded in the same walk even in the same types of trials and traps in their way.
The book could of been strengthened with a few more specifics, as it dealt mostly with generalities but that could be by design as it makes the book more likely to impact more people.
I would recommend this book for just about anyone, a dad new to faith or just searching, or a young man struggling to find out what direction God would have him walking. While it was written by a football star I do not believe that this book would be too "jockish" for a girl or even a woman seeking to get deeper into her relationship with God and His path for them.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
Over all I think this walk was well worth taking with me on the Rural Route to Righteousness.
