FOREWORD

People of faith often read a devotion on a daily basis to learn, grow, and strengthen their foundation of faith. If you are one of these people, you will find yourself coming back to this devotional again and again.

In First Down Devotions II, respected author and journalist Del Duduit has developed a resource that provides biblical insight (which always withstands the test of time) and applicable truths that will benefit any reader spiritually.

He effectively draws the reader in through his connective writing style which enables you to transfer the concept from the page into your life with ease. You will celebrate the up-close look into the faith-filled lives of each individual contributor and be encouraged with how the Bible plays a tremendous role in their lives on and off the field.

Resources that contribute to the spiritual nourishment of the players, coaches, and administration within the NFL, help provide valuable touchpoints between a chaplain and the organizations they serve.

I have no doubt that this book of devotions will be a touchdown in the locker room and at home.
