Toward the Goal, Revised Edition: The Kaká Story

By Jeremy V. Jones

I learnt that it is faith that decides whether something will happen or not. At the age of eight, Kaká already knew what it he wanted in life: to play soccer, and only soccer. He started playing in front of his friends and family, but when he suffered a crippling injury doctors told him he would never play again. Through faith and perseverance Kaká recovered, and today he plays in front of thousands of fans every year. As the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year and winner of the Ballon d’Or, this midfielder for Real Madrid has become one of the most recognized faces on the soccer field.

Reviews for Toward the Goal, Revised Edition

[true54blue · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A decent biography for young Christians who like soccer. It includes lots of extra information about the various countries and soccer history. It does not however actually have much about Kaka's life which is something you might have been expecting given the title. This was published in 2010 leading up to the World Cup and it leaves us hanging expecting great things from Kaka at the tournament. This makes the book a little dated now.
