| Publisher Description: Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Auburn Tigers combines the great passion of the Auburn 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. Alabama got what it wanted from the refs, and Auburn got more than it could ever have dreamed of: The Kick Six. Perhaps the greatest player in the history of Auburn women's basketball never even had a scholarship. One Auburn football coach decreed his players couldn't have soap and hot water. Pat Sullivan once challenged Shug Jordan's authority. Ricardo Louis told Nick Marshall he would make a play. What he did is now known as The Prayer at Jordan-Hare. Also appearing are Gus Malzahn, Pat Dye, Tucker Frederickson, Tre Mason, Rowdy Gaines, Bo Jackson, Carolyn Jones, 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. |
