Synopsis

Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Baylor Bears combines the great passion of the Baylor 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. A Baylor football player once volunteered to play the other team by himself. Melissa Jones missed only one game despite an on-court injury that left her virtually blind in one eye. Art Briles convinced a star lineman to stay in Waco by talking about Cadillacs and horse ranches. Baylor once played a softball game that took seven years to complete. Grant Teaff came up with a novel idea to inspire his team: he ate a worm. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Robert Griffin III, Nick Florence, Brittany Griner, Kendall Wright, Kim Mulkey, Bryce Petty, 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.
