PRESS RELEASE
Crystal Lake, IL—Sporting Chance
Press author Patrick McCaskey will be signing his new book Worthwhile Struggle at Bookies this Saturday in Chicago at 10324
South Western Avenue at 1 PM.
Bear fans think this year’s team might
lead to something special–if you want something special this year for
Christmas, birthdays, and Fathers’ Day–Worthwhile
Struggle checks all the boxes. Worthwhile
Struggle is the fourth book in the Sports and Faith Series published by
Sporting Chance Press of Crystal Lake. Each chapter is titled after one of the
author’s 10 Commandments of Football, principles based on McCaskey’s life with
the Chicago Bears and reflecting his own distinctive sense of humor. The book
includes vignettes of athletes such as Tom Waddle, Bill Wennington, and Sister
Jean of Loyola University (who also graces the cover). McCaskey family stories,
Bears history, and sports questions/answers round out the sports coverage. For
the faith component, stories of saints and McCaskey’s Biblical poems are
included. Struggle is a theme that is clearly seen and understood in sports,
which serves as a metaphor for life lessons in the Series.
McCaskey, a grandson of Chicago
Bears founder, George “Papa Bear” Halas, is one of the team owners and serves
as a Vice President. McCaskey is a frequent speaker and author who is involved
in the Bears charitable and outreach efforts.
Working for good causes for over 40 years, McCaskey is Chair of Catholic
Radio Station WSFI (88.5 FM) and Sports Faith International (an initiative the
honors high school, college, and professional athletes and coaches who lead
exemplary lives).
