Reflections on Faith and Football

De: Danny Wuerffel, Mike Bianchi

Narrado por: Ben Rameaka

The most beloved and decorated player in Florida history takes fans behind the scenes and into the locker room for one of the greatest eras in the annals of college football. Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Danny Wuerffel, now retired from the NFL, has finally had the time to look back, reminisce, and share his thoughts about that magical time when he was referred to by some "as the greatest passer to ever play college football." Wuerffel gives his many fans a first-time reflection into a variety of topics, including his relationship with Steve Spurrier, his rivalry with Peyton Manning, and how his strong Christian beliefs shaped his football career. Along with award-winning sports columnist and co-author Mike Bianchi, he replays the big games from each of his four magnificent seasons, talks about the quarterback controversies and quandaries, discusses faith and football, compares Spurrier and Bobby Bowden, and takes readers on a glorious trip that starts with a recruiting visit to Gainesville and culminates with an incredible national championship victory over Florida State in New Orleans. Danny Wuerffel’s Tales of Gator Football will take readers on a delightful journey back to the "good old days" of the 1990s, when Spurrier’s funning and gunning and cunning style of offense revolutionized the Southeastern Conference. After reading this book, fans will understand why Danny Wuerffel collected as much admiration and as many accolades as perhaps any player in the proud history of college football.

An amazing football player"s tale

Danny Wuerffel almost seems too good to be true. Of course he had a very strong upbringing and a lot of resources to get where he did. college and professional Athletics can be grueling unforgiving and ultimately corrupting. However by the grace of the Almighty, Danny seems to have escaped with his morals and his character pretty much unscathed. in this book Danny makes it abundantly clear that he owes his successes to the people around him and to his faith in God. The word that comes to mind for Danny is humility, which is a trait that seems to be all too rare in professional athletes. I enjoy listening to this book which was not very lengthy, particularly very frank description of his personal relationship with and debt of gratitude to Jesus Christ.
