My Review:Fire on Ice: Gospel Lessons Learned from a Lifetime of Sports by Jeremy C. Holm

5 stars

Now I want to go ride in a bobsled. Jeremy is really good at telling examples from his own life and relating them to gospel principles.

All I remember from the 2002 Olympics about the bobsled is going in the Coke tent and trying to push and jump in. My kids loved it. Oh it was really crowded too. What a good example Jeremy is and was. Too train in Bobsleds for years and then miss the 2002 Olympics in your backyard to serve a mission.

I love all the personal stories and how he left the names out of those who made wrong choices. He was not trying to tear down anyone but tell what he learned from them and relate it to a gospel principle.

This book does show how Jeremy lives his beliefs. He tells both the positive and negative things he did and experienced.

I had to laugh when he was telling of a team building event that he went to and his team won with the highest balloon tower. They did not let the ceiling stop them from going higher by pushing the tiles up.

Jeremy's example in prayer helped me this week. I stopped reading to say a prayer and part of it was answered the next day. So thank you Jeremy.

This book is geared to sport fans and to LDS Readers but it can be read and enjoyed by everyone.
Their are life lessons on every page to help make anyone better person if they apply it to their lives. Like Honesty, Integrity, personal responsibly, free agency and example for others plus many more.

I was given this book for reviewing. All opinions are mine and honest.
