Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans Ohio State Buckeyes

Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Ohio State Buckeyes combines the great passion of the fan of The Ohio State University 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.

• Ryan Day's ascension to the head coaching job at Ohio State didn't exactly follow the usual route.
• Ohio State once won a football game with some of the players standing on the sideline in their street clothes.
• A heart attack once prevented a postgame brawl.
• Each season the OSU men's soccer team remembers a freshman who played in only a handful of matches.
• The Buckeyes found an unlikely hero to complete the incredible 39-38 comeback win over Penn State in 2017.

These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Archie Griffin, Ezekiel Elliott, Troy Smith, Jerry Lucas, Braxton Miller, Dwayne Haskins, 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.

Have fun! Have faith! Go Buckeyes! Go God!
