Season of Life

In the mid-1970s, Joe Ehrmann used to play for the Baltimore Colts. Now, his stellar pro career long over, he coaches a high school football team and is also an ordained minister. In this inspiring book, Jeffrey Marx, a journalist who knew Ehrmann in his pro-football days, writes about Ehrmann's past and present lives. As a coach, he has instilled in his team an unusual outlook, one that believes football doesn't have to be brutal. Ehrmann's approach involves not only playing well and responsibly, but putting into practice the Christian ethic of love--even in relation to opposing teammates. Founder of the Building Men for Others program, Ehrmann emphasizes friendship, courage, and service to others as the key qualities for a truly successful man. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
