Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans Florida Gators

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.
• For one glorious afternoon in The Swamp, Dan Mullen and his guys turned the clock back.
• 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!
