Average Joe

The Coach Joe Kennedy Story

De: Joseph A. Kennedy

Narrado por: Timothy Andrés Pabon

The football coach who fought all the way to Supreme Court for his right to pray shares his inspiring story of courage, redemption, and grace.

When Coach Joe Kennedy started offering a prayer on the field after each high school football game, the school district tried to shut him down, launching a seven-year legal battle that went to the Supreme Court—twice. In June 2022, he won.

Average Joe is the story of an unlikely champion of religious freedom. A former atheist, Kennedy never imagined he’d lead the defense of Americans’ First Amendment rights. He certainly didn’t intend to be at odds with his wife, who was the school district’s personnel director. But his love for God and country and his never-say-die courage landed this former Marine in the fight of his life.

The victory in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District opened the door for thousands of previously settled cases regarding public prayer to be reexamined with a friendlier eye to personal religious expression.

Average Joe: The Coach Joe Kennedy Story is a compelling personal account of his troubled youth, what he learned in the Marines, the lessons he instills in his players, his faith in God, and his love for his family. It’s a story that will inspire listeners to live more boldly.

Sooooo good!!!!

Encouraging and inspiring. I laughed and cried and wondered at how God can take the broken pieces of a life and place them so purposefully - just finished and want to listen again.
Bought hard copies for my people.

Great story

Compelling story showing lots of fortitude where most of us would have rolled over due to fear of losing our job, status, relationships or more. Joe Kennedy had amazing courage to see this through. The narration was well done. We listened on a long road trip and it was a nice family friendly story demonstrating that people have 2nd, and 3rd chances to screw ups from their past. We can all do better in life if we have a little discipline and don’t give up. Looking forward to what’s next for the Coach

the writing was amazing it was very hard to put down finished it less than 24 hours

I loved the whole book and the movie I highly recommend it. I will share it with everyone in my circle.

Awesome Audio Book

Hearing Joes story and hearing about his life was very compelling. Thank you for being a leader Coach Kennedy and for standing up for your beliefs. Also, thank you First Liberty for what you do. Keep doing what you’re doing and fighting for our rights.

Excellent book

This book is really good. I got this book because I saw there was a movie about this guy and I wanted to know the back story of the movie. In less than 48 hours I have listened to the book now I can’t wait to see the movie

Great book not to give up…

Like that Joe stood up for the rights he put his life to fight for his country.
