    About this ebook

    Often characterized as David facing Goliath on the tennis court, at 5'9" and 150 pounds Michael Chang is used to playing with the big hitters. What he lacks in stature, he makes up for in determination. A serious contender at any Grand Slam event, his bold statement of faith in God makes him a role model we can all look up to. "What's nice," Michael says, "is that, as long as my priorities are straight, I'm able to go out with the mentality to really leave the winning and losing up to the Lord." In Holding Serve readers get a unique glimpse at Team Chang, Michael's powerful family unit that he credits with much of his success. Michael also shares the story of how he became a Christian and the central role his faith has played in his achievements.

      Christian Biography from tennis champion Michael Chang. This is not a book for those who are not interested in tennis as there is a lot of technical detail about various matches. Chang's bold statements about his Christian faith and the way he attributed all of his successes to his faith in Jesus Christ shocked the world's press and resulted in him being jeered and whistled during his matches. However, he has persevered despite numerous setbacks due to injury. He states that he never prayed for success but that God would give him the strength he needed when he needed it. God was faithful and continues to be so in the life of Michael Chang. This is the story of a man who defied Western secularism whilst in the public eye to stand up for his beliefs in a bold and uncompromising manner.

      Recommended for tennis fans.
