“In sport we are regularly judged by our performances and often we make the mistake of allowing our identity to be rooted in those performances. The CallUp competitor’s prayer book serves as a reminder that our identity lies in Christ. The prayers in CallUp give us God’s perspective reminding us that our identity is in Christ. He is the author and director of our faith and if we are rooted in Him we realize that our sport is a vehicle to worship Him and serve others as He leads us.”

“This book is a gift to sports people like me because I know that my faith and my sport can’t be separated. At many times in my career I have faced difficult moments. I know that constant prayer, Scripture and fellowship with other Christians have helped me come through stronger than I would have done on my own.

CallUp is a great resource – it’s filled with Scriptures and prayers specifically for the typical challenges we face in sport. It will be so easy to pull this out in the changing room and find a quiet moment to remember God and His purpose for my life and sport.”

The prayers in this little booklet put God back at the centre where He belongs and invites sports people to acknowledge His unending love and allowing it to flow through our lives at all times.”
