Take Me Out with The Crowd
I am excited to introduce the next chapter in our new series, where we explore the intersection of Sports and Religion.
From the Book, Take Me Out With The Crowd, The first chapter, “The Game Changer,” the inaugural chapter of our journey into how Sports and Religion intertwine. This chapter is named to highlight a pivotal moment when our passion for sports can sometimes overshadow our spiritual practices.
As you read, you’ll be invited to reflect on how sports may influence your spiritual life and what that means for you. Prepare for deep introspection and open-hearted exploration as we delve into this significant topic.
I hope you enjoy this series and find it thought-provoking, encouraging you to reflect on the importance of placing the Church and our Faith above sports, sports behavior, and sporting priorities.
Instead of taking you out to the ball game, we’ll be taking you to church and inviting you to join the fellowship crowd.
You Are Loved

you are right. The proverb says: A healthy mind resides in a healthy body, and your body has a right over you. There must be balance. Work for this world as if you will live forever and work for your hereafter as if you will die tomorrow. May God bless your life, Mr. Willie Torres. Wishing you a happy day and good luck.

Thank you so much! I genuinely hope you find it enjoyable. I’m not against sports at all; my aim is to encourage us all to recognize the broader perspective. We often go to great lengths for worldly pursuits, yet when it comes to Church, Giving, Helping Others, or our relationship with God, we tend to find excuses.
This journey may be long, but I hope it not only transforms us but also brings meaningful benefits to our lives.

While all Glory, Honor, and Praise belong to God, I’m eagerly anticipating the reactions from visitors and readers regarding this study. Though it touches on sports, it’s not merely a sports book. Instead, it examines how we often prioritize sports, events, and other activities without hesitation, while church, tithing, prayer, and sharing the Gospel are frequently placed on the back burner. It reflects on how our behavior is perceived, especially when we identify as Christians. Interestingly, my wife, who isn’t a fan of sports, loved these stories. I pray for God’s blessings on all who read and engage with this study.

It’s my blessing, Willie! I will join you in that specific prayer for the mission behind the God-given words! I grew up with a coach/Dad. Often we all talk about how much “glory” sporting events receive–and how little emphasis is placed on Christ. Hmmm. Would Jesus pack a stadium if he were the half-time show? I understand the thoughts and prayers behind this book. Lots of things have priority over God. I’m guilty of that (for me it was camping and fishing–we would try and find campgrounds that held Sunday services and would even have our own). I get it, Willie! God bless you!! I’m excited to read the series, brother. I will be out of town for several days, FYI. Take care. Both of you!

I had no idea you were a figure skating coach, WoW ! that is really awesome . I can imagine the stories and the Blessings you have seen.
Thank you , I thought being self published would be a great deal for me, and although I love that my books are out there, it means more to me to hear how what the Lord gave me to share has helped someone or how they were Blessed by the Words.
I think for the mere fact that the support of my books has been slow and stagnant, I am used to the lack of. But it’s ok, it is what it is…
Thank you for Reading and Commenting and Thank you as always for your kindness and support.
