Jesus Is a Baller: Reflections on the Fundamentals of Basketball is a book that sits at the intersection of basketball and faith. Using the fundamentals of the game as a metaphor for a walk with Christ, this non-fiction work reads like a devotional. The main points are reinforced through personal stories, with an emphasis on honesty through vulnerability. It is a perfect read for someone who wants to take a fresh look at Christianity through the gaze of sports. Elijah Gurash has been a collegiate basketball coach since 2018, after having spent fifteen years in the high school ranks. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Northwest Christian University (now Bushnell University) and a Master of Science degree from The University of Edinburgh. Elijah and his wife, Katy, have three children: Xander, Oliver and Isla Grace.
