Pigskin Parables: Reflections of a Football Widow

Far more than "just a game," football is a metaphor for the game of life. As the wife of a high school football coach, author Candee Fick has climbed metal bleachers in all kinds of weather (with three small children in tow) to see firsthand the battle for field position and points. In addition to discovering the benefits of a comfortable stadium chair, she has seen many lessons about life illustrated on the playing field. This book combines aspects of the game of football, personal anecdotes, practical examples and Scripture to illustrate biblical truths about life.
