“I have always had an appreciation for the parallels between the chess game and the game of life. As a chess player and a pastor, I am encouraged to see someone take the time to put spiritual and chess principles together side by side. Dave Phelps takes his reader through every book of the Bible to highlight the similarities, thereby enriching every chess player’s appreciation for the Bible, and every Bible reader’s appreciation for the game of chess.” - Gerald Johnson, Pastor The Gathering Church Ministries
“Reading this book allowed me to engage with the Bible in a new way - visualizing spiritual principles as played out on a chess board. It was also a great introduction to the overview of the Biblical narrative; I learned a few new things about the books of the Bible and their many authors, all while upping my chess game”. - Obasi Shaw, Harvard B.A.; English
“Congratulations to Dave on a well thought out book. Anyone who reads it can appreciate a spiritual view of the bible through the mind of a chess player. A very enjoyable read.” - Rafi A. Rahim The ATA Group, senior member (Analytical Thinkers in Action)
