Description

Faith in the Game: Lessons on Football, Work, and LifeAs head coach of the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers for twenty five years, Tom Osborne had one of the most impressive records in college football. Before retiring in 1997, he took his team to a bowl game every year, won three national championships in the last four years he coached, and ended his career boasting an 84 percent winning record. But while these numbers testify to an undeniable accomplishment, it has been another, more powerful force

As head coach of the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers for twenty-five years, Tom Osborne had one of the most impressive records in college football. Before retiring in 1997, he took his team to a bowl game every year, won three national championships in the last four years he coached, and ended his career boasting an 84 percent winning record. But while these numbers testify to an undeniable accomplishment, it has been another, more powerful force that has shaped Osborne's life: his faith.

In Faith in the Game, this legendary coach shares the philosophy he used to create not only a champion football team, but also a meaningful life. Both a memoir of Osborne's career with the Cornhuskers and an inspirational guide to making the most out of life, Faith in the Game presents the traits Osborne helped to instill in his team, including core values like honesty, loyalty, and courage. Illustrated with compelling behind-the-scenes stories of the Nebraska football team and conveyed in his own captivating tone, Osborne's message reveals the value of hard work, the need to balance our professional and personal obligations, and, above all, the importance of bringing faith into our lives.
For those seeking a spiritually centered approach to living and working, this candid account of Tom Osborne's faith and strength is a warm and authentic book from which all of us can learn.

Frustratingly fun!
Format: Paperback
Delightfully frustrating looking through pages and pages of names but it’s quite fun if you have the patience. I bought it to keep me entertained while waiting for my broken leg to heal. I was determined to find it! Looking forward to doing another one.

Pages falling out of binding.
Format: Paperback
I love the book. It’s been fun. My issue is the pages are falling out. I received the book today and every other page comes right out of the binding. I am worried I am going to lose pages.

Great mystery concept, poor paper quality
Format: Paperback
Love the concept and the book but the quality of the paper and cover just really disappoints me. Because you have to flip back and forth you’re going to be handling this a lot. I had the book at the pool and the edge got wet and the cover just delaminated and came apart. I have really enjoyed the complexity of this mystery and cannot wait to find out who the killer is!

Perfect for Mystery Lovers and Overthinkers
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I picked this up thinking it would be a quick little puzzle book and ended up way more invested than I expected. The entire concept is basically solving a murder mystery through elimination clues, and it honestly feels like a mix between Clue, logic puzzles, and a detective game you can do by yourself. Each page gives you clues about who the killer is NOT, so you slowly narrow down the suspects by crossing out names based on things like syllables, vowels, letters in their name, etc. Some clues are super straightforward and others make you stop and really think. It’s surprisingly addicting once you get into it. What I like most is that it actually keeps your brain busy for a long time. This is not one of those puzzle books you finish in an hour and forget about. I’ve been working through it slowly because there are SO many pages and clues. It’s honestly kind of funny how serious I got trying to figure it out. The layout is easy to follow, the concept is original, and it’s a great option if you like mystery games, logic puzzles, escape rooms, or anything detective-related. I could also see this being really fun to bring on a trip or keep around for downtime instead of scrolling on your phone. Definitely worth it if you enjoy interactive mystery books and want something different from the usual word searches or crossword puzzles.
