Touchdown in the Dark

Dear Reader, First of all, though it may be unbelievable as you begin to read this story, every single word about the bigotry and racism which plagued a small church and school in Oak Lawn, Illinois, is the absolute truth. Though some of the names and events have been altered to protect the innocent, every event occurred between 1950 and 2000, just as I have recorded them. Next, I want you to know this true story is not about the game of football, but rather it is the story of the character and moral strength of the men with whom I had the privilege to play the game of football. It is also the true account of some ordinary men and women who became extraordinary by choosing to follow the example of Jesus Christ. Most of all, I want you to know the real solution to ending the bigotry, hatred, and hypocrisy, which have been ripping our nation and world apart. Please read this book with an open mind and heart. The solution will probably not surprise you, but I hope it will inspire and challenge you to become part of the solution, which will change this old world for God's glory! In Christ, Jerry Silver 2 Corinthians 5:21
