This review is from: A Sunday Pilgrimage: Six Days, Several Prayers and the Super Bowl (Paperback)
Knowing the heart and care that went into this book makes it even better to read. The stories about the quest to the big game and the local flavor make this an important part of all Philadelphia fans libraries. Anthony Gargano's look at dads and the crazy personalities in the area are memorable. Anthony Gargano has a way of bringing us all into the world where football rules.

This review is from: A Sunday Pilgrimage: Six Days, Several Prayers and the Super Bowl (Paperback)
This book is a must read for all diehard Philadelphia Eagles fans. Anthony Gargano takes you back to that week of the Super Bowl
and takes you with him to Jacksonville. The behind the scenes stories of the players and Andy Reid is the kind of stuff all Eagles fans want to know. A must read!!

Jason,
This review is from: A Sunday Pilgrimage: Six Days, Several Prayers and the Super Bowl (Paperback)
This is the book for all Eagles fans. Re-live the magic of last years run to the Super Bowl. This book has incredible stories about Trotter, Ike Reese, and Donovan McNabb.
Learn about a softer, gentler, nicer side of Terrell Owens. The book even includes some insight into the final minutes of the Super Bowl.
