How it works
Quarterly pick: Each quarter, Christian Athlete Circles recommends one book on faith and formation for student-athletes and coaches. Choose the format you prefer—print, ebook, or audio—and read on your timeline.
Your pace, your path: No meetings. No deadlines. No long-term commitment. Engage when it helps you most, and step back when your season gets heavy.
Gentle touchpoints: Throughout the semester, we’ll offer short prompts, quotes, and reflection questions on social media and email to spark insight and conversation. Share your takeaways when you want, how you want.

You’ve heard of book club. What’s an (un)book club?
Athletes and coaches don’t need another task on the to-do list—but the soul still needs good fuel. The (un)book club is a low-pressure way to explore faith, spirituality, and calling at your own pace while staying connected to a supportive community. It removes deadlines while keeping reflection and growth on the calendar.

What Makes You Come Alive by Lerita Coleman Brown
This book invites readers into the contemplative, justice-rooted spirituality that shaped Howard Thurman, the spiritual guide and mentor to Martin Luther King Jr. Drawing on Thurman’s life, prayer practices, and prophetic vision, Brown offers a down-to-earth pathway of “centering down,” listening for God, and living from a deep inner freedom that fuels courage and compassion in the face of injustice. This book is a powerful companion for athletes and leaders who feel the pressure to perform, yet long for a faith that grounds them, restores them, and calls them to participate in healing a hurting world.
