by Paulo Silas Pereira (Author)
The Life and Faith of a FIFA World Cup Soccer Player
As the most-watched sporting event in the world, the FIFA World Cup is the holy grail for soccer players in pursuit of goals and glory. But Brazilian soccer star Paulo Silas Pereira, simply known as "Silas" in Brazil, found something that soccer fame could never provide: a faith in Jesus that sustained him through victory, failure, and life beyond the stadium.
From playing childhood street games in São Paulo to two FIFA World Cup appearances, Beyond Success is Silas's inspiring story of striving, struggle, and faith. You'll come to know Silas not only as a soccer player, but as
- a boy growing up in a humble, faith-filled home with a single father and 8 siblings after losing his mother at age 5
- a young player battling homesickness and pregame anxiety
- a husband and father struggling to balance the pressures of a public career with commitments to his family
Silas shares powerful life lessons about ambition, achievement, and faith in Jesus that will fundamentally change your understanding of success. For soccer fans, athletes, and Christians of any background, Beyond Success will motivate you in your faith and challenge you to make the most of the life God has given you.
