For Such a Time as This: The Arizona Christian University 2021-22 Basketball Season

The college basketball season is a seven-month long drama. Like life, there are ups and downs with many uncertainties. In this compelling book, author Jack Vande Zande takes readers on an exciting journey following the ACU basketball team from fall workouts through March Madness. For Such a Time as This by Assistant Coach Jack Vande Zande is an inspiring book which follows the Arizona Christian University Firestorm men's basketball team through the uncertainty of the 2020-21 season due to COVID and into the 2021-22 season, where God put team members and coaches in place for a memorable season. Each chapter begins with Scripture that ties into the theme of the particular chapter, and the book includes game summaries from all thirty-six games with play-by-play and quotes from players and coaches. Live action photos are also included so readers can put a face to each name, as well as vignettes which give a taste of life during a college basketball season. While many books have been written about power five conference collegiate athletic programs, whether about a particular championship team or coach, For Such a Time as This shines a unique spotlight on a successful basketball team at a small private National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Christian university. You will be encouraged and uplifted as you follow the Firestorms' action-packed journey.
