Book Review: Always Fall Forward by Todd Gerelds

~ Lisa Brittain

It perhaps seems odd that I chose this quite manly devotional book for a book review.  Except for the fact that I am surrounded by men in my family.  Therefore, I have experienced much of football firsthand with all the smells and laundry, the commitment of time, money and energy and the reward of team … Continue reading Book Review: Always Fall Forward by Todd Gerelds
