Keeping Faith in the Team

Faith in the Team is a fresh look at how people relate their faith to the world we live in today by a genuine Football Chaplain at Cambridge United FC.

Stuart Wood has an unusual job, in addition to being the minister of a small baptist church, Stuart is also the official Chaplain of a modern day professional football club. In Faith in the Team, Stuart writes an honest and heartfelt diary of his season, from pre-season through to May as the club battles to reclaim promotion to the Football League.

Writing as a fan as well as club chaplain, Wood has a unique behind the scenes insight. He charts the highs and lows and the mood around the club, introduces the reader to the people involved and explains his role in ministering to the spiritual needs of the club.

This book is first and foremost a football book for fans of the beautiful game. But the underpinning faith that is expressed in everything Stuart does makes it a football book with a difference.
