FCA’s Bible ministry launched in 1971 when FCA campers received a copy of the New Testament. In 1978, we began giving out copies of the Bible in its entirety to campers. Our first collection of devotionals was published in 1976. For more than 40 years, our resources have multiplied to meet the growing discipleship needs of staff, coaches and athletes. Targeted to a competitor’s mindset, we’ve distributed millions of Bibles, devotional books, and other printed and digital materials around the world. Our resources remain a critical part of helping coaches and athletes know and grow in Christ.

Playing for More: Trust Beyond What You Can See by Case Keenum
Case Keenum has traveled one of the most unique paths in the NFL. Recruited by just one college, undrafted, and released three times, Keenum has overcome every obstacle to become a successful starting quarterback. In 2017, Keenum captured America’s imagination by leading the Minnesota Vikings to a 13-3 record and an NFC North title. His game-winning touchdown in the final seconds of their divisional playoff game against the Saints, the “Minneapolis Miracle,” made him part of NFL history.
Believe it - Nick Foles, with Josh Cooley
Get ready to defy the odds when everyone’s counting you out. When the Philadelphia Eagles’ starting quarterback went down with a torn ACL in week 14 of the 2017 NFL season, many fans―and commentators―assumed the Eagles’ season was over. Instead, Nick Foles came off the bench and, against all odds, led the Eagles to their first Super Bowl victory in history.
