Alex Dias Ribeiro, Sao Paulo, Atletas de Cristo, 2016
Alex Ribeiro’s passion in life is speading the gospel of Jesus Christ, through athlete testimonies. The book’s 33 chapters are mainly Brazilian sports testimonies. The best known are Ayrton Senna, Jorginho, Taffarel, Silas and Emerson Fittipaldi as well as Alex’s own story in motor racing. The book repeats Alex’s belief that God wanted Brazil to win the FIFA World Cup in 1994.
For anyone who is interested in the history of Christian ministry in sport, the book provides important insights into the origin of Atletas de Cristo, which Alex led for 20 years, chapters of some of the pioneers of the ministry and one on the early football pastors in the country.
