As a reporter for The Daily Trojan, in the spirit of George Plimpton, he participated in walk-on tryouts for the team and was dumbfounded to find himself listed on the roster. His position on the team never amounted to much in a game-time contribution, but Ben felt strongly that his faith was inextricably linked to his purpose. He felt called to anonymously place Bibles in each USC teammate locker on Christmas Eve--to resounding indifference and rejection from his friends. It wasn't until three years later, when his role at USC had led to a role with Coach Pete Carroll at the Seahawks organization, that an old friend connected with Ben and told him that one of the Bibles had captivated the heart of a teammate in the three days before his death.\nWith a humble spirit dedicated to consistent acts of discipleship, Ben Malcolmson is an authentic voice for the power of simple obedience and trust, for what can happen when a believer allows God to work in a life. Walk On is the result of God using his faithful people to work in the lives of others.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0735291276\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0735291276.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Malcolmson, Ben|McCord, Patti|Carroll, Pete\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44273180049469,"sku":"BVV.0735291276.VG","price":6.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/0735291276-0.jpg?v=1793655685","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/walk-on-from-pee-wee-dropout-to-the-nfl-sidelines-my-unlikely-story-of-football-purpose-and-following-an-amazing-god","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
