Cole Sanders is a changed man. The university quarterback questions his direction in life after serving on a mission trip in Honduras. Things that used to fill Cole’s ego seem empty after witnessing the developing country’s extreme poverty and the death of a precious child. The one glimmer of hope through his confusion is the fresh perspective he now has about his tutor, Audrey. She possesses something beautiful inside and out–something that might help him become the person he wants to be.
University senior Audrey Vaughn tutored Cole Sanders for an entire year and never imagined the popular quarterback would see her as anything more than a friend. After partnering with him on the mission trip, they are drawn together. And he appears to have changed for the better. To let Cole into her life, Audrey will have to overcome not only her brother’s distrust, but also the paralyzing fear still lingering from a past she’s tried to leave behind.
Cole can’t walk away from Audrey now that they’re back in Oxford. He’ll have to figure out how to keep her giant of a brother, a lineman on his football team, from killing him when the coach has his back turned. But can Audrey trust her heart to a player so similar to the one who stole so much from her in the past?

Book Title: Tackling the Fields
Book Author: Janet W. Ferguson
What do you like about this book:
"Beauty for ashes and to proclaim freedom for the captives."
Audrey Vaughn struggles to accept the fact that Cole Sanders is even suggesting an attraction, his once playboy celebrity quarterback status has certainly mellowed after a mission trip to Honduras where they bonded, but will his newfound interest in spiritual things even last? On the other hand, Audrey's interest in ministering to young women, who have experienced the kind of unlawful pain she once endured, could be serving as an obstacle, rather than an opportunity. Is she willing to tackle that opponent head on?
Cole Sanders hardly recognizes himself and the effect that a relationship with a God of mercy has produced; as he faces his senior year of football and dreams of turning pro. One of the biggest surprises has been Audrey; her lovely, quiet spirit serving as a balm, if only her gigantic, over-protective brother would back off. Seriously, there must a reason that Grant hovers around his every move. Can't he just leave his tackles on the football field?
This is a sweet, honest, revealing story of two young people who crave unconditional love, but must overcome the darkness of their pasts in order to trust in God's plan for their future. And with lines like, "a face without freckles is like a sky without stars", Cole has a pretty good chance of wooing his sweet Audrey.
