Harvard graduate Jeremy Lin is the New York Knicks' and NBA's newest star. He's also the league's first American-born player of Taiwanese descent. JEREMY LIN chronicles Lin's basketball career from high school to the pros with particular emphasis on the media explosion surrounding his success, and explores how Jeremy's Christian faith, family, education, and cultural inheritance have contributed to that success. The book also includes interviews with basketball experts on Lin's future in the NBA, noted Asian-American intellectuals on the role of race in his rise to stardom, and renowned Christian athletes and pastors on the potent combination of faith and sports.

A former elite gymnast whose career ended when he broke his neck in warm-ups for a competition, Dr. Dalrymple has written and spoken broadly on faith and sports issues. His interviews with jeremy Lin over the past two years, followed the basketball phenomenon even before his emergence on the world stage.
