Stories from the Sidelines covers stories and poems that the author put into his own words from his experiences over the past years while being an assistant basketball coach at Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, California. The book is written on a canvas to express the uniqueness of God's endless love and mercy He has for all of us. Written from a heart whose writer has compassion for those he lives with, works with, and comes in contact with on a daily basis. While being active and on the court with the players and coaches daily, Stories from the Sidelines offers a different perspective on athletics, life and a walk with God. Kevin E.
