Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans Duke Blue Devils - Paperback

by Ed McMinn (Author)

Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Duke Blue Devils combines the great passion of the Duke 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.

• Duke and UNC were once friends for a day on the basketball court; the result was one of the sloppiest games ever.
• Daniel Jones had a big, difficult decision to make that could determine the course of his life. He chose well.
• What Duke football center Mike Skura and his fiancee did for love was unusual: They camped out for six days.
• Mike Krzyzewski's mom once said to her son, "I told you so," and he didn't mind one bit.
• The player who clinched the 2009 national title for the Duke women's tennis team didn't even realize she had done it.

These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Danny Ferry, David Cutcliffe, Grant Hill, Christian Laettner, Dick Groat, DeVon Edwards, 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 Blue Devils! Go God!
