Review Quotes

"A creative job of communicating the encouraging truths of God's Word through the window of Alabama's rich athletic history. From Coach Bear Bryant and gymnast Sarah Patterson to Senator Jeremiah Denton, who at one time said, 'We believe that on the eighth day the Lord created the Crimson Tide, ' McMinn elevates Jesus Christ and his Word above it all!" -- Dr. Gary Cramer, director, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, University of Alabama

"Pastor Ed McMinn demonstrates a unique ability to relate his knowledge of Crimson Tide athletics to spiritual truths. I learned things about Alabama athletics that I didn't know, even though I'm an athletic alumnus. Any fan of the Tide would benefi t from the bits of both worldly and spiritual wisdom contained herein. God bless and Roll Tide!" -- Pastor Alan Ward, Plainfield Baptist Church, and University of Alabama Class of '92
