WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE RESOURCE USED IN SANCTIFEYED
“This book will be relatable for any Catholic athlete and encourage them to push deeper in their faith with God when it comes to life and sports. Not only did I feel a connection to the characters in the book, but I also learned more about the importance of many Catholic practices through the perspective of a driven athlete. John Wood brings to life the untold story of the budding Catholic athlete, and it’s a story worth knowing.”
Sam Prakel
5 time All American Middle Distance Runner for the University of Oregon and US Olympic Trial competitor
“Where There is a Will There is a Way gives a very clear direction of how one’s faith fits into athletic competition. There are many times throughout each season when we feel like giving up and laying down our cross. John’s story shows us that by connecting our own suffering and faith with the suffering of Christ, we can find a strength and peace that is extraordinary, and in turn gives us the ability to carry that cross to record breaking heights!”
Craig Stammen
Major League Baseball Pitcher, San Diego Padres
"It is beautiful, simply beautiful. It speaks so simply, so eloquently of the power that relationships can hold, both of human and divine form. For young and old alike, it is hopeful, it is prayerful, it is passionate, and as soulful as it could be."
Dr. Jim Schroeder
Ironman Triathlete, Pediatric Psychologist, and author of the book, “Wholiness”
