I am embarrassed to say that I received The Edge
by Sigmund Brouwer over 20 years ago, and I never
read it. To make it worse, it was a gift. Life
sure has a way of distracting us from reading
the books we say we will “one day” read. This
was not even an extensive read by any stretch.
A paltry 127 small pages. Now, as an adult, I
am reading what was meant for my former self
as a teenager. This will no longer have the same
impact it should have had on me 20+ years ago.
I was able to read this in a mere two hours.
The style is more like a devotional. There are
13 brief chapters that showcase NHL players that
share how their faith in Christ impacted not
only their careers, but their personal lives.
These are not players with superstar resumes.
Don’t get me wrong, they all had great careers.
A couple of them were even inducted into the
Hockey Hall of Fame. But I think it is more
their journey and the pinnacle moments
of their careers that shine the most.
Unfortunately, their encounters with Jesus
are often vague and limited in detail. But a
common thread that each player associated their
decision was a lack of peace and fulfillment.
There was “emptiness”, as if something was
missing. Despite the bright lights, money, and
attention, they all expressed one way or another
that “there had to be more to life than this.”
