Synopsis

Each weekend, stadiums and gymnasiums across America are filled with the smell of nachos and hot dogs and the roar of the fans. Sports have become an integral part of American life, and sports fans are among the loudest and most faithful. These fans lead the cheers, speak the language, and know the history. They attend as many events as possible and want to know all they can about "their" team. Combining the passion for both sports and Jesus, these inspiring devotionals are the ideal gift for sports-lovers who are caught in the rush of bettering both body and soul. Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Florida Gators combines the great passion of the Gator fan with the great passion of the fan of Christ into one set of devotions, one book that is fun while providing a time of reflection about God.

From the Inside Flap:

Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Florida Gators combines the great passion of the Gator fan with the grand passion of the fan of Christ in one set of devotions. The result is a book that is fun while it provides a time of reflection about God and your faith. The day after Mike McNeely helped Florida beat Georgia, he was back at his real job in a Gainesville grocery store. Before Jim McElwain hit the big time, he sold popcorn, tended bar, and worked in a cherry warehouse. What Steve Spurrier did with his Heisman Trophy changed the way the trophy was presented. Tim Tebow made three promises, and the 2008 college football season was never the same again. Chicken and rice and lucky shirts had a hand in the 2006-07 basketball national championship. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Emmitt Smith, Danny Wuerffel, Joakim Noah, Urban Meyer, Chris Leak, and others. Their stories along with legendary games, improbable victories, and historical events are told with a twist: They are all tied to God's story. Have fun! Have faith! Go Gators! Go God!
