Inhaltsangabe

In Full Court Faith, George Shinn's remarkable journey from small-town obscurity to NBA franchise owner shows how trusting God's plan can lead to incredible success, redemption, and miraculous life transformations.

“God has done many wonderful things in my life—but the biggest things aren’t the accomplishments I used to take the most pride in.” —George Shinn

What can God do with a poor country boy from a small town in North Carolina? The child no one expected much from. The kid who finished high school dead last in his graduating class. One of only two students in the whole school on government assistance. The young man who had to clean business school toilets in exchange for tuition. The aspiring pro-sports franchise owner no one in New York or California took seriously. The victim of an extortion scandal that rocked the sports and business communities of Charlotte, North Carolina. The sinner whose private mistakes became front-page news for more than a year.

What can God do with a person like that?

Amazing things . . . things that lead to unbelievable fame and fortune.

Wonderful things . . . things that brought new life and vigor to a southern gem no one outside the south had ever heard of.

Miraculous things . . . things that have saved the lives of numerous stroke victims—including his own.

Full Court Faith presents the uniquely inspiring life of Charlotte entrepreneur, businessman, and former NBA franchisee George Shinn, the man who brought professional sports to North Carolina. With charm, wit, humility, and his trademark enthusiasm, Shinn tells his story his way—taking responsibility for the mistakes and giving God all the credit for the victories.

If you’ve ever wondered, What could God do with someone like me? Full Court Faith brings you the answer:

Anything He wants. As long as you’re willing to trust Him on the journey.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Businessman and philanthropist George Shinn is the quintessential “rags to riches,” American success story. After losing his father at an early age and being raised by a single mother, Shinn used what he calls a “Triangle of Success” of health, attitude, and faith to go from being the worst student in his high school class to owning a network of business schools and a consulting firm. This firm was so successful, Shinn became the youngest ever recipient of the Horatio Alger award. Through hard work and persistence, plus faith in God, George Shinn was part of the team that brought the first ever professional basketball franchise, the Charlotte Hornets, to the state of North Carolina. Through personal and professional struggles, George learned to lean on God no matter what comes. He found that, regardless of the game, there is no better teammate than God.
