Xulon Press announces a new Christian testimony of sports and faith, How We Lost Trying to Win: When winning costs everything by authors Matt and Marina Krueger highlights the publisher’s release of a new faith-centered book tied to sports, pressure, and family life. The announcement from Genoa, Illinois on July 8, 2026 says the paperback edition is priced at $13.99 and the eBook is $4.99. Authored by Matt and Marina Krueger, the book is presented as a “wake-up call” for sports families who are drawn to competition but feel anxiety and chaos from calendars and winning expectations. The work draws on real experiences, including “highlight wins” and the authors’ account of Matt Krueger’s sudden cardiac death and recovery. It also describes using Scripture, honesty, and practical “plays” at the end of each chapter to reframe priorities for parents, coaches, and athletes. Xulon Press states it is the world’s largest Christian self-publisher with more than 20,000 titles published and says the book is available through multiple online retailers, including bookstore.xulonpress.com, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.
