| Publisher Description: Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Oklahoma Sooners combines the great passion of the Sooners 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. School officials once voted to discontinue the women's basketball program. Bob Stoops and his wife weren't the least bit surprised by what happened in the 2001 Orange Bowl. All-American gymnast Natasha Kelley competed with her right knee in two pieces. Oklahoma once scored a touchdown after the band had taken the field for halftime. Samaje Perine was humble about the history he had just made; his linemen weren't. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Blake Griffin, Jason White, Bud Wilkinson, Sam Bradford, Barry Switzer, Adrian Peterson 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. |
