Autor David King, Margot Starbuck
en Limba Engleză Hardback

As seen in Focus on the Family magazine.

Should I sign up our seven-year-old son for the travel team? What should we do about our daughter's Sunday morning games? Am I the only one longing for a sane balance between children's sports, family time, and church commitments?

David King and Margot Starbuck offer good news for Christian parents stressed out by these questions and stretched thin by the demands of competitive youth sports.

"Every page of this book screams common sense. It's like a portable parent telling me that I'm not nuts for having questions about youth sports, and that I actually have the power to reclaim my sanity and the sanity of my entire family."--Scott Dannemiller, author of The Year without a Purchase

"This is the book for parents of any kids involved in the abundance of activities our culture offers (demands of!) our kids. Overplayed offers biblical and developmental wisdom to help our children grow appropriately into the people God made them to be."--Caryn Rivadeneira, author of Broke

"This book is a must-read for parents, as it offers solid, helpful suggestions as to how we can, once again, make youth sports about the kids."--John R. Gerdy, author of Ball or Bands
