Synopsis

Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: North Carolina Tar Heels combines the great passion of the Tar Heel 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.

• One of the greatest scorers in Carolina basketball history was so blind he couldn't even see the basket.
• Three Tar Heel wide receivers wore something extra during pre-game warm-ups vs. Pitt in 2016: bathrobes.
• Justin Jackson burst into tears of joy, even though the 2017 national championship game wasn't over yet.
• It sounds impossible but UNC's Yael Averbuch did it: She scored a goal four seconds into a soccer match.
• Roy Williams used to help the Heels win by eating candy.

These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Michael Jordan, Dean Smith, Ivory Latta, Phil Ford, "Choo Choo" Justice, Amos Lawrence, and many 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 Heels! Go God!

From the Back Cover

Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: North Carolina Tar Heels combines the great passion of the Tar Heel 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. One of the greatest scorers in Carolina basketball history was so blind he couldn't even see the basket. Larry Fedora and his coaches used a series of surprises to surprise Virginia in the last quarter of the 2014 game. No uniforms? No problem. Dean Smith just had the "B.V.D. Boys" practice in their underwear. It sounds impossible but UNC's Yael Averbuch did it: She scored a goal four seconds into a soccer match. Roy Williams used to help the Heels win by eating candy. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Michael Jordan, Marquise Williams, Ivory Latta, Phil Ford, "Choo Choo" Justice, Amos Lawrence, and many 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 Heels! Go God!
