Renowned humorist and die-hard football fan Chad Gibbs knows he cannot serve two masters, but at times his faith is overwhelmed by his fanaticism. He is not alone.This year, over six million people will attend an SEC football game. They'll spend thousands on season tickets, donate millions to athletic departments, and-for three months a year-they'll order their entire lives around the schedule of their favorite team.Gibbs and his six million friends do not live in a spiritually void land where such borderline idol worship would normally be accepted. They live in the American South, where according to the 2008 American Religious Identification Survey, 84 percent identify themselves as Christian.This apparent contradiction Gibbs sees in his own life, and in millions of others', led him on a journey to each of the twelve SEC schools to spend a game-day weekend with rabid Christian fans of various ages and denominations.The result... God and Football, an illuminating, laugh-out-loud look at the place where faith, football, and fanaticism meet.
