It is a sentiment shared by the hundreds of former players and coaches that have proudly been a part of Big Red Football. But Husker Legacy is not just about football. It is about a group of men who share something in common that goes much deeper than the pursuit of championships and individual accolades. At its core, this book is really about family, friendship and most importantly, faith. Within these pages, you will find insightful commentary from legendary figures such as Tom Osborne, Jerry Tagge, George Andrews and Turner Gill, plus perspective from more recent contributors to the Husker lore including Prince Amukamara, Roy Helu Jr., Eric Hagg and Ron Brown. Relive some of the greatest moments in Nebraska football history and learn what drives some of the program s biggest names, but ultimately, find out how they define Husker Legacy.

A coincidence is something that God arranges but prefers to remain anonymous. Perhaps no one understands that old adage better than Albert Long. He has seen God at work in his life since his days as a young four-sport athlete at the University of North Carolina and throughout his ministry with such notable organizations as Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Teen Crusades and Happenings, Inc. This book shares some of the amazing stories that have allowed Albert to experience the providence of God firsthand. He has met some incredible people and made some life-long friendship along the way. But most importantly, since a fateful trip to Henderson Harbor, New York, Albert has embraced God s purpose and plan, and has never turned back.

Throughout his fascinating 45-year career, Coach Mike Jarvis has experienced what it feels like to be on top of the world. He also knows what it's like on the other end of college basketball's vast spectrum (and every place in between). Through it all, he has come to some significant conclusions about the true meaning of life. In the book Everybody Needs A Head Coach, Jarvis shares stories from his incredible run as a championship high school coach and his successful years as the leader of four NCAA Division I programs that have included interactions with high profile figures such as Red Auerbach, Patrick Ewing, Michael Jordan, Ron Artest, Mike Krzyezewski, Adrian Branch, Sam Jones, Rumeal Robinson, and Matt Damon. But more importantly, Coach Jarvis and co-author Chad Bonham turn those experiences into 23 life-affirming lessons that reflect relevant biblical principles such as determination, forgiveness, leadership, community, respect, commitment, justice, encouragement, humility, grace, legacy and purpose that provide ample opportunities for both individual devotionals and group Bible studies.

It started with a young boy's dream. George Del Canto's love of auto racing began at the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. At the time, he had no idea that this boyhood dream, through a series of unexpected events, would eventually lead him back to the famed Speedway decades later. But it was not about winning or finding fame. There was a much greater purpose in action. God Speed is the remarkable true story of how God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things for His Kingdom. But most importantly, it will inspire you to dare to dream and achieve God's dream for your life!
