by Bobby Bowden
First published 2014
Bobby Bowden sits in the fourth quarter of his life, surrounded by the trappings of extraordinary success. Statues bear his likeness. National awards carry his name. Four generations of football fans know his record as the winningest coach in Division I history. He built a dynasty, reached the pinnacle of his profession, and raised a loving family. Yet Bowden faces a stark realization that challenges everything he thought he knew about winning. The accolades ring hollow. The influence feels temporary. The victories fade into memory. Only one thing remains constant through eight decades of living. God always wins, Bowden discovers, and that truth changes how he sees everything else. He must reconcile his worldly achievements with deeper spiritual truths, learning that faith and happiness cannot be separated. This legendary coach invites readers to join him as he looks back over a lifetime of apparent success and forward into a future grounded in something greater than any championship.
