INTO THE STADIUM
By Bryan Mason
Spring Harvest/Authentic Lifestyle. 216 pages. £6.99
ISBN 1 85078 502 3

Bryan Mason, of Christians in Sport, is passionate about doing evangelism through the medium of sport. The purpose of his book is to encourage individual Christians and church leaderships to seriously consider engaging in a sports ministry.

He spends a modest amount of print setting sport and leisure in a biblical context and I felt that more space spent on this would have been helpful. But the main thrust of the work is inspirational and practical. He rightly identifies our culture's engagement with sport and leisure and sees it as a great opportunity for Christians to engage in a wide variety of pursuits with the aim of forming relationship bridges with the unconverted in order to gain a hearing for the gospel.
