Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Kentucky Wildcats combines the great passion of the Cat fan with the grand passion of the fan of Christ in one set of devotions. The result is a book that is fun while it provides a time of reflection about God and your faith. John Calipari's 'tweak' helped a struggling team race all the way to the national championship game. Kentucky once played a football game in which the teams punted more times than they ran plays from scrimmage. Sean Woods made quite a first impression on Rick Pitino's new strength and conditioning coach: He threw up. Alex Meyer walked away from $2 million so he could play UK baseball. UK defensive end Dennis Johnson played in his first high-school football game when he was 6 years old. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Dan Issel, Adolph Rupp, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Valerie Still, and many others. Their stories along with legendary games, improbable victories, and historical events are told with a twist: They are all tied to God's story. Have fun! Have faith! Go Cats! Go God!
