From his earliest memories, Joe Jackson dreamed of playing in the National Football League and being somebody great-a champion. But growing up in a family of seven in a Cincinnati suburb during the turbulent times of the 1960s didn't look promising. It took hard work, discipline, and good coaching to become a champion in the world's eyes in the NFL. But the most significant change didn't take place on a football field, but in his heart when he gave his life to Jesus Christ. Only then did his dream of playing in the NFL and the Super Bowl become a reality.

In the pages of this fascinating biographical account, Joe Jackson recounts how he tackled challenge after challenge in life, and reveals how football opened the door to a place where the giants of fear and a low sense of self-esteem roamed freely.

In Championship Sunday, Joe shares an uncut version of his life story and reveals that true champions are never satisfied with titles won on a particular day, but it's the battles we win as a believer that matter the most as we walk out our own salvation with fear and trembling. His story encourages everyone to push past their fear and insecurity to become the champion that is hidden inside.

Jackson, Joe: - Joe Jackson is a former NFL football player, English teacher, graduate of New Mexico State University, and college and high school football coach. His story began in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a dream that motivated him to rise above the Jim Crow laws, separate but unequal, and the racial injustice of the early sixties.Joe's unique experiences along his journey are what Hollywood movies are made of. He transcribes a difficult past of low self-esteem and poor choices that nearly cost him his dream to play in the National Football League. His story is not only one of triumphantly entering the NFL; Joe's story resonates with anyone who has a dream. His sensitivity allows him to easily relate fundamental principles necessary for living the dream and living the promise. Joe knows what it's like to overcome a giant larger than any offensive lineman he ever faced in the NFL-fear. Fear is the biggest dream-killer known to man. In his unique way, Joe shares his amazing story to give hope to those crippled and hamstrung by fear.Joe earned a four-year scholarship to New Mexico State University. In college he studied English Literature under award-winning playwright Mark Medoff. Joe and his wife, Terrill, live in the beautiful town of Gilbert, Arizona. He has been an evangelist since 1986.
