Bump for a book by a fellow Domer - I’ve actually read it. Anyone who likes sports and is a Christian should pick one up.

Your husband must’ve enjoyed this years USC game, I know I did (aside from the multiple interception related heart attacks I thought I was going to have).

Hey, great!! Here's a quote from a letter Tom wrote to Pope Benedict:

The above quote is from a book (Champions of Faith: Catholic Sports Heroes Tell Their Stories) which I wrote several years ago and which your predecessor, John Paul the Great, so graciously placed on the shelves of the Vatican Library when he started the Pontifical Council of Church and Sports a few years ago. Link.

[emphasis mine]

Tom's friend, who was at the Vatican, actually saw the book sitting there. It was very exciting to say the least.

Anyway, yes, the USC game was enjoyable/intense. Tom wrote a post on it, combining sports and faith once again: The 'alma' still matters at Notre Dame. And regarding the heart attacks, we hear ya! ... we light a candle from ND's grotto at kickoff.:)
