What Guys are saying about Living Life In The Zone...

"Our society's definition, and God's definition of 'manhood' are often miles apart. I love how Kyle and Joe use sports to bring forth the truth of the Word of God. The challenges of 'true' manhood are clearly addressed in a way that sports fans can relate. God calls man to have Faith and Integrity, show sacrifice and Leadership, and carry a strong legacy. Living Life in the Zone carefully illustrates these points."

NBA All Star Allan Houston, Former New York Knicks Player

"One of my most rewarding experiences in recent years has been sharing my Christian testimony at In The Zone events. Sports often conflicts with being physically in church on Sundays for almost half a year for me. But those believers in a sports world will testify that when we submit to Christ's desire for a very personal 24/7 relationship, we receive a supernatural blessing, which enables us to successfully navigate the conflicts of the professional world, family and the Great Commission. Living Life In The Zone is uplifiting instrument and inspiration to know we are not alone and it can be a mission accomplished!"

Chris Mortensen, ESPN

“Living Life in the Zone has hit me right in the middle of my heart, soul, and mind. It’s mandatory reading for every man out there searching for answers to life’s toughest questions.”

NBA Orlando Magic Executive Pat Williams

“Living Life In The Zone applies spiritual truths to the dilemma of balancing career and family in today’s culture. Joe Pettigrew and Kyle Rote Jr. draw on athletic metaphors to illustrate the importance of doing things God’s way rather than our way. The book is very readable and full of practical insights.” 

Tom Osborne, Former University of Nebraska Coach

“Today’s fast-paced, sports-centric culture not only fails to show us a path to authentic manhood, but it doesn’t deliver the essential tools we need to get there either. “Living Life in the Zone” offers both a compelling direction for us men and a glimpse into the real power source that strengthens us along the way.”

Danny Wuerffel, Heisman Trophy Winner and former NFL Player

"We keep score in all our "games"--not just in sports, but in life. Our bank accounts, our net worth, square footage in our homes, the Boone and Crockett number of the last deer we killed, and the points scored in backyard basketball. As men, keeping score is what we do. But how are we scoring with the most important "game" of all-life? Like all games, it will end someday, and there WILL be a score and God is keeping it. Living Life in the Zone is a practical and challenging book that helps us see the scoreboard much clearer and make sure that when the final gun sounds, we end up winning. And I mean winning at what matters-marriage, raising kids, knowing God. In the time it takes to listen to the sports recap each day, you can spend a life-changing 40 days knowing how to keep a score that really counts. On to the Zone!"

 Former Governor Mike Huckabee seen weekly on Fox News

"As I travel across America, I have observed that most men, when totally honest, admit they are tired, lonely and angry. The causes of those feelings are known to everyone; just look at today’s headlines and around your neighborhood. In Living Life in the Zone , Joe and Kyle present practical, Biblical wisdom for any man who wants to deepen his relationships with his most important “teammates” – his wife, his children, his friends and his co-workers . Take this 40-day journey and watch how your life takes on new purpose and brings you truly great victories."

Les Steckel, veteran NFL coach, President of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and author of One Yard Short: Turning Your Defeats into Victories

“Finally a men’s book that takes information and presents it in such a way that it can be transformational. Living Life In The Zone is a must read for any man who is serious about his relationships with God and “walking HIS talk in his life.  Kudos to Joe and Kyle. ”

Dr. Rod Cooper, Former National Director of Education for Promise Keepers

“Living Life in the Zone is practical and fun read. I am a big sports fan and really enjoyed the way Joe and Kyle weave in some extremely interesting stories about well known athletes, teams and coaches with take-away Biblical truths that challenge me to be a better follower of Christ.”

Tim Wildmon, President American Family Association / American Family Radio

"Every one of us wants to succeed in life. We want to experience a life that surpasses expectation. But far too often we end up sacrificing one aspect of our lives in order to succeed in another. In this book, Kyle Rote and Joe Pettigrew give men an inside look at the lives of some of the most successful sports and business personalities around. And they reveal the secrets these men have to experiencing a full life, not just an aspect of it. No matter what stage of life you find yourself in, Living Life in the Zone will give you the perspectives you need to get the most out of everything you do ."

Ed Young, Senior Pastor, Fellowship Church and author of Outrageous, Contagious Joy, Dallas, TX

"Joe and Kyle takes you farther than the locker room and the playing field. They allow you to go on a journey with your own heart to ask yourself questions every man wants to ask but are afraid no one has the answers. But Gods Word does have the answers and this book talks to you Man to Man about the four most important issues of your life: Balance, Fatherhood, Marriage, and Work. Can't wait to pass it on to my sons!"

Ken Whitten, Senior Pastor Idlewild Baptist Church, Tampa, FL
