Book Review: Playing For More

Case Keenum is a professional football player who is the current starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos. Although he has found success in his football career, if you looked at the path he took to get there, you wouldn't have thought he would get there. Keenum received only one scholarship offer for college. Even though he broke records, he was not drafted into the NFL. He was picked up and released several times before finally finding himself as the quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. Keenum led the team to a 13-3 season and won the NFC North Division in what is known as the "Minnesota Miracle."

Throughout his book, Case Keenum outlines his story while also pointing out how God has worked in every season. There were times when Keenum did not know what would happen next, but he kept trusting and God showed Himself faithful time and time again. 

Football happens to be my favorite sport to watch. Over the years, I have loved having the chance to "get to know" some of the players through the books they write. These books help to remind me that these players are still just people. Sure, they play a professional sport that is broadcast on national tv and they get paid a lot of money to do so, but, at the end of the day, they are still just people. After reading these books, I look forward to seeing these players on the field. Knowing that Case Keenum professes to be a Christian, I am excited to watch and see how his testimony affects those around him.
