“God has done many wonderful things in my life—but the biggest 
things aren’t the accomplishments I used to take the most pride 
in.” —George Shinn

What can God do with a poor country boy from a small town in 
North Carolina? The child no one expected much from. The kid 
who finished high school dead last in his graduating class. One of 
only two students in the whole school on government assistance. 
The young man who had to clean business school toilets in 
exchange for tuition. The aspiring pro-sports franchise owner no 
one in New York or California took seriously. The victim of an 
extortion scandal that rocked the sports and business 
communities of Charlotte, North Carolina. The sinner whose 
private mistakes became front-page news for more than a year.

What can God do with a person like that?

Amazing things . . . things that lead to unbelievable fame and 
fortune.

Wonderful things . . . things that brought new life and vigor to a 
southern gem no one outside the south had ever heard of.

Miraculous things . . . things that have saved the lives of 
numerous stroke victims—including his own.

Full Court Faith presents the uniquely inspiring life of Charlotte 
entrepreneur, businessman, and former NBA franchisee George 
Shinn, the man who brought professional sports to North 
Carolina. With charm, wit, humility, and his trademark 
enthusiasm, Shinn tells his story his way—taking responsibility 
for the mistakes and giving God all the credit for the victories.

If you’ve ever wondered, What could God do with someone like 
me? Full Court Faith brings you the answer:
Anything He wants. As long as you’re willing to trust Him on the 
journey.
