| Publisher Description: Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Texas Longhorns combines the great passion of the Longhorn 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. When the Texas softball team held its first-ever practice, four players showed up. Colt McCoy and his dad went for a Memorial Day swim to help save a life. The trainer felt lucky and helped the Texas baseball team to a national title. Charlie Strong's first team included a Green Beret walk-on who missed practice time to go to war. With the national title on the line in the 2006 Rose Bowl, a Texas defender saw what was coming. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Vince Young, Destinee Hooker, Mack Brown, Earl Campbell, Darrell Royal, 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. |
